| - I was thrilled to see that a second location was coming to Vegas, and since I'm on their 'Friends of Flemings' email list I was notified of their grand opening special for locals: $50 off a $100 purchase (alcohol excluded). I couldn't pass a deal like this one up!
The bf and I went there over the weekend and since it's only been open a few days now, everyone is still in training mode. Don't get me wrong, the service was fantastic, almost too good, in the sense that we were surrounded by people trying to help us. We had all sorts of employees coming by the table to fill our water, poor us more wine (we'd ordered a bottle), take away our dishes and check on us. It was quite frankly a little much if you're looking for a nice quiet/intimate night out. I do anticipate this will all settle down as they get their feet wet and everyone is fully trained. I'd rather they error on the side of too much service than no service/poor service.
One of the things I love about Flemings is the ambiance of their locations, dim lighting, linen table cloths, small tables/booths, etc. This location seemed a little less romantic, partly because of the above mentioned but also the open dining room carried the noise more so than in other locations.
The food was wonderful, as I would expect. We shared a wedge salad ($9), which is large enough to share and they'll split it between two plates if you tell them you are sharing it. I ordered the Petite Filet ($41), and the bf ordered one of the evening's specials, a bacon wrapped filet with scallops ($43). His filet was much smaller than we anticipated when it arrived, but it was delicious and perfectly prepared as was mine. We shared a side of Flemings Potatoes, which we'd ordered in the past, but these ended up being much better than I'd remembered them. They were melt in your mouth creamy for not being mashed potatoes - try them you won't be disappointed! As I mentioned above, we also ordered a bottle of wine. Their wine list is rather extensive, they bring you an iPad to look through the wine list, tasting notes and reviews, etc. (It can be a bit overwhelming for someone who doesn't know much about wine, but it's one of the features I love about Flemings!) They decanted the wine for us, an extra step wine aficionados will appreciate, and they asked us if we wanted to keep the cork, which we did.
All in all, I can't wait to return. Their $50 off $100 deal lasts until 2/13/14, I might just have to take advantage of their offer one more time. :)
For those locals wanting to try it: to receive the offer you must make a reservation online through this URL: http://www.flemingssteak...
Enjoy the new Flemings location, I hope you love it as much as I did!!
