| - This is your classic American steak house with your classic american menu choices.
This is also your classic amazing tasting steak!
We celebrated a birthday dinner here and was not disappointed.
First the price... of course it's a little on the expensive side, this isn't your outback steak house Friday night steak outings, this is good ol' american culinary classic steak house. So no surprise seeing $30-$50 cuts of beef on the menu with $10 side choices.
Bread was fresh with two choices of butter ( can't remember what they were infused with but i remember both being delicious, sorry!)
We started with calamari (rhode island style with hot peppers and topped with a sweet chill sauce). This didn't blow me away, in fact i wish the sweet chili sauce was on the side as it made the calamari a little soggy (maybe if you order this try asking for it on the side).
Wine list was satisfactory, we went with a Red. Parducci Syrah, not too dry and a delicious paring for red meat!
STEAK:
Ordered the prime ribeye (my fav cut) cooked to medium temp. Perfectly cooked with juices flowing as i cut into my steak. Seasoned well with a nice char on the outside, perfectly pink in the middle and a little fat on the cut was just what i needed.
The girlfriend ordered the Filet mignon which was also cooked to her liking and was tender beyond a Katherine Heigl rom-com!
You can choose to order 4 different complimentary sauces on the side ( we tried the bernaise and peppercorn with the latter being my preferred choice)although a good steak doesn't need sauce, sometimes i like a little variety.
SIDES:
Ordered the Flemings potatoes (scalloped potatoes topped with cream, jalapenos and cheddar). Don't fear the jalapenos, they weren't spicy at all and just added a nice little kick to the potatoes. I recommend this as a side!
We also ordered roasted mushrooms. It was a perfect blend of button and portobello mushrooms with some fresh garlic cloves that perfectly complimented the steak. (why was the mushroom invited to the party? Because he was fun-gi! harhar)
We were too full for desert (and maybe a little tipsy from the bottle of wine..a little) but would like to try the lava cake on our next visit.
SERVICE:
Well above average. After checking in with the host, we were promptly escorted to our table preceded by a "welcome mr. surname". When our server approached us, he stated "so who's birthday our we celebrating?" I totally forgot when i made the reservation online, there was a drop down box with special events and i had selected birthday. Nice little touch from Flemings. We were waited upon by at least 3 different servers who were ALL Friendly and made nice little quips of conversations most ending with laughter. A supervisor also checked in with us post meal to ask how everything was that evening. The service definitely had me bringing up the tip percentage (maybe the wine helped too) to well above standards.
Overall a memorable birthday dinner. Food was delicious. Service was excellent. Ambiance was what we expected (not romantic per se but still classy ). We would definitely be coming back (maybe on prime rib sundays for $29.99..say whaaaa?!)
I still like Lawrys/Mortons/Smith & Wollensky but Flemings is a great choice for STEAK NIGHT!
