| - Shout out to Mat T. for being an awesome server! He was knowledgeable, accommodating, timely, personable, AND had a sense of humor.
My boyfriend and I went here on a whim for a date night on a Tuesday. We were a little caught off-guard by how fancy it really was (service-wise, especially). You can check your coat at the front desk, they will label your table by "party name," and there's a fancy iPad-like device you can use to order all the wine you want. So overall experience--5 stars.
The food is where I'm taking a few stars away. Disclaimer: when I go out to eat, I expect the food to be something that I can't make at home, and something that I haven't had on just another day. The food at Fleming's is good, but it's predictable and over-priced. If you're into that, then I would definitely recommend it! To start, the bread and flavored butters were pretty awesome. A highlight of the meal. We also got the scallops, which were perfectly cooked--another highlight of the meal. (Though, they were very small.) The burrata salad was very underwhelming. There wasn't much flavor aside from tomato, greens, and milk. For our main course we ordered the dry-aged prime ribeye with an add-on of king crab. That combo was wonderful, but our steak was tough and over-cooked. For $68 (for the steak plus crab), I would have rather gone to Merchant or another restaurant. Finally, we ordered the lava cake. This takes about 20 minutes to bake, so if you're going to want it at the end of your meal then order it with your entrees. It was a very delicious, fun experience. I would recommend a bite with a little bit of everything in it.
So overall, a nice date night--we didn't have to cook! Service was great, but the food will break your bank.
