| - Tonight was our third trip to Flemings so I thought it was fair enough to add my review.
Flemings is just ok - more of a 2.5 than a 3.
Twice I've had the filet, first time was not cooked as ordered, second time cooked as ordered, tonight I tried the filet skewers, not cooked as ordered - not impressed with the cuts on any of my visits and they seem to avoid seasoning of any kind - meh. The mozzarella salad on the side of my skewers was old with mealy tomatoes and wilted everything else.
A bowl of greasy homemade chips on the table - no thanks. Short rib appetizer, nice portion, very tender, maybe just a bit too fatty, nice spicy slaw but a sweet watered down BBQ sauce on the plate that tanked the whole deal. Baked brie was not as good as I can make at home with 5 apple slices and 3 walnuts - thanks cheapskate.
Husband had the lamb chops, not cooked as ordered but he enjoyed them.
Mac and cheese has been good every time.
Great selection of wines by the glass and I like the small plate + wine offering.
The service was terrible tonight but it has been every time I've been here. Tonight's gal was friendly enough but she was absent and inattentive the entire time. We ordered our appetizer 10 minutes before ordering our entree and yet just as the apps were delivered, I saw the kid with our dinners in hand do a quick u-turn back to the kitchen - hoping we didn't see him.
Don't get me wrong, this place isn't a total train wreck - I would certainly pop in for a glass of wine at happy hour and there are good deals to be had, it's cheap enough for sure...just don't come here expecting a top notch steak house - this isn't the place.
Case in point, we tried to get into the Capital Grille and Mastros tonight but they were both booked solid - no problem at Flemings.
