| - It took a little convincing, but Hottie and I decided to give Flemings a second shot. Let me just say, it was like we dined at a totally difference restaurant! We were pleasantly greeted by the hostess, who offered us our choice of table (despite the fact that the place was just about at capacity). To start us off, our server recommended a new specialty cocktail with vodka, fruit juice and Prosseco which was less than 99 calories. It was delicious! She also recommended a couple Pino Noir options for Hottie, who was very pleased. I started off with the Flemings salad. Really nothing special, actually the dressing was rather bland and it was served over romaine. It really should have been served over spring mix or arugula... and adding a little cheese never hurts! Regardless, I was perfectly happy with the complimentary warm bread and infused butter spreads to start me off. For dinner the server recommended a "super secret" menu item for vegetarians. I'm not sure what it was called, but it had layers of spinach, portabella, asparagus and roasted red pepper served over a very tasty red cream sauce . On the side, I ordered the chipotle mac-n-cheese, YUM! I don't even want to imagine the number of calories that were stuffed into that plate of cheesy goodness! My Hottie ordered their special, a filet bone-in cooked medium rare with Flemings potatoes on the side. This time his steak came out cooked perfectly, in fact by the end he was eating it off the bone... gross! For desert we had the chocolate lava cake. I was a little leery, because typically these are served very small and obviously just reheated in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Not the case here. It was the size of a softball, and just heavenly... warm chocolate oozing out of center, topped with ice cream and some kind of pistachio cookie... mmmm, still licking my lips! Okay, Flemings... Now I'm a FAN!
