I dined at Fleming's recently on the insistence of a friend, and while the service was good, I thought the food was shockingly high priced for what it was.
I had a small filet. It was correctly cooked and tasted very good. Just like I make at home when I buy steaks from AJ's. The reason I was not very happy was that my bill was around $80 for a small filet, a couple glasses of wine and a couple shared mediocre appetizers with two other people. No sides come with the meat at all. My steak was close to $30 alone. For a place that bills itself as a wine bar, I was disappointed with the by-the-glass choices. I guess if you are only searching for a good-tasting steak and you don't know how to cook, Fleming's is the place to go.
Guess that's what you get with the "lowest common denominator" style big national chains. I would not steer most people away from here, as I think this is what most people want: predictable and decent. I just figure I don't want to spend my money or calories on boring food when there are so many awesome local restaurants in this city!
