| - I had a great meal at Flemings. I started the night with a glass of the Downtown Abby Ale while I was waiting for me table on Christmas Eve. They oversold the place, but alas, it was Christmas, they wanted to take care of as many people as possible.
As for the ale, It's a great, hoppy beer from New York. I really enjoyed the flavor from the hops. As soon as I got seated, I moved on to a beautiful Caesar Salad with fried capers. I know it sounds weird, but trust me, it was delicious. It was a bit delayed, but they brought us fresh bread with two different Arizona butters that they make in house. Both were delightful. The only thing that would have made it better would have been if I got the bread prior to my salad course.
As for my main entree, I went for the bone in rib eye. The flavor was out of this world. I asked for rare, and that was exactly what I got. At that point, I was ready for another beer. I was delighted to see the Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA. Such a treat if you like IPA's and hoppy beers.
The only thing that I would recommend, is getting an accompaniment of cabernet butter to go with your steak. As for sides, the best way to go is with the creamed spinach and the blue cheese infused mashed potatoes.
Overall, the dining experience was a 3.5/5 due to some timing issues. As for the food, I would give it a solid 4.5/5
