| - We have dined at this Flemings location numerous times before and had wonderful experiences, however, this time things fell very flat. Things started off fine with water and a wine list that was provided via Ipad. My fiance's mother asked the waitress for wine recommendations and she wasn't able to help ( it seemed like she wasn't too familiar with the selection). Ordering food was fairly quick and easy. Once we received our steaks, the waitress informed us about the lava cake that takes 20 minutes to cook, and told us she would check back in shortly to see if we were interested. We didn't see her again for at least 30 minutes.
I know, I know. When people usually say 30 minutes they are grossly overestimating out of frustration; however, we actually did wait that long. So long in fact, it began to get awkward at the table. All the food was consumed and our wine glasses were empty, yet our waitress was nowhere in sight. When she did finally show, it was too late to order the lava cake. We instead ordered two plates of creme brulee and two desserts to go, along with a cup of coffee. The coffee was cold, and it took 10 minutes to get a new hot cup. Once dessert was finished we again were left waiting around for our waitress; waiting to clear dishes, waiting to receive the check, and again, waiting to pay the check. In all it took us two hours to have a simple meal, and that was not by choice.
The food was great, per usual, but the service was just downright bad.
