I have been to Flemings many times but not since I started Yelping so....my review!
I took my wife to Flemings for Valentines Day (we celebrated the night before since the Daytona 500 was on Sunday...HAHAHA) and we had an amazing dinner as we always have had at Flemings. Yes, I know Flemings is a chain owned by the Outback Steakhouse corporation and the general Madison person looks down on chain restaurants but I want to tell them....go screw because this chain is good and you do not know what you are missing!
We were seated immediately when we arrived for our reservation and the staff was amazing. Our waiter was exceptionally great as he never left us waiting or with our glasses empty. 5 stars for the service!
My wife starts out of the shrimp cocktail and I with the French Onion soup. Both were fantastic. The soup was delicious and just how I liked it.
For our entrees we both went with the special of the night (although we both had planned on something else) and it was two 4oz fillets wrapped in bacon along with two lobster tails. The fillets were very good but mine was slightly overdone (I wanted Medium). The lobster tails were delicious and were served with some sort of bisque to dip in. We requested some drawn butter as the bisque was good but not what we liked with our lobster. The butter was brought out immediately. So, out meal was great and besides the slightly overcooked steak (my fault as I know I should always order medium-rare at a restaurant) and we were very happy.
With our dinner I have a couple glasses of the Mick Fleetwood Cabernet Sauvignon and it was a great wine. Pricey...yeah but thats what you get when you order wine at a restaurant.
Now we were full and happy but wanted to be more happy. I have gained my wife's pregnancy cravings and we wanted desert! They had a red velvet cake on special that caught my eye when we got there. My wife went ahead an ordered it so I went with the cheesecake so we did not have the same thing and could share. Bad choice on my part. The cheesecake was good but a little dry. The red velvet cake was AMAZING! My poor wife hardly got any of it. LOL
Overall Flemings is Flemings! They have great steaks and great service! Just like in the past, Flemings has my business over and over again. I also love the fact that our exceptional waiter had his own business card so we can request him again!
