| - Flemings's here in Summerlin is a good spot to relax and enjoy a nice quiet dinner if you are looking for a decent steak and don't feel like driving down to the strip. They are going on 15 years and recently remodeled the dining room & bar. They focused mainly on the bar area, which they expanded due to their growing happy hour crowd and slightly changed the dining room. It looks great and seems to flow a lot better than before. As far as the food goes what can I say except it's a chain. Is it good? Yes it's good. Are they using drug-free, grass-fed cattle, without hormones and antibiotics, or free range poultry that is also hormone and antibiotic free, NO. Is it organic farm to table ingredients or wild caught fish, NO. The fact that chains like to throw around fancy terms like Aged USDA Prime, Choice, Select, meats doesn't change the fact that it's Factory-Farmed, Grain Fed Beef. For the record this isn't a Fleming's bash session it's more of a chain steakhouse rant that should be addressed and includes their competitors Morton's, Ruth's Chris, or even worse, places like Long Horn, or Lone Star. It's worth noting that I do frequent Fleming's. I just want to be clear when I say it's good, because it is good. It's just not great or as healthy as it could be for the prices they charge. To be fair the job of any restaurant CEO and his/her board is to fight for consistency and their bottom line that's it, not the health of their customer. The health of the customer is the responsibility of the customer not the restaurants.
