| - At all Fleming's the food is good, but not exceptional. For the money, Mastro's and Eddie V's are much better choices. We were in the area at the time and this Fleming's seemed to be the best restaurant in the vicinity. We both ordered the French onion soup to start. i tried about 4 spoonfuls and found it to be so salty that I asked the waiter to take away. Given that it hadn't been very long since we received the soup and the bowl was still pretty full, I would have expected the waiter to ask whether or not there was a problem. But no. Finally, I informed him that it was way too salty. His response? "Oh?" No "I'm sorry", "Can I get you something else?", "I'll let the kitchen know.". Nothing but "Oh?" Since their steak portions are usually too big for me to finish, I decided to try their braised short ribs. It was so dry that I asked for more au jus, but that didn't help it. My husband said, "Wow that's really bad! Don't eat it." He ended up giving me some of his steak, so I wouldn't starve. What was the waiters response this time? The same. No offer to deduct the soup or offer a complimentary dessert. Nothing. We've been to other Fleming's around the Valley as well as one in Chicago and have never had such a bad experience. Hopefully, this is isolated to just this particular Fleming's.
