| - We love surf & turf! I mean who doesn't enjoy an extremely well prepared Filet Mignon accompanied with a succulent lobster tail? Oh Yeah! So of course we had to go pay Fleming's a visit with some good friends. We go to Fleming's for their steak because they know how to prepare it better than most!
For starters we were treated to a warm, rosemary loaf of bread. The bread was already very good by itself, but the butters were even better. I don't remember what each butter flavor was but I liked them both. I preferred the orange (sun dried tomato maybe?) looking one. The white one had a bit of a feta cheese taste to it. We quickly polished off our whole loaf of bread. Shortly after that, our soups and salads arrived, nothing special to write about here.
Next came our steak and lobster. The server waited while we cut into our steaks to make sure that it was cooked to the precise way we had requested. My lovely bride's steak was so small it looked as though it was meant to be on a tasting spoon and not part of a surf & turf. The server apologized and was embarrassed he had not noticed it prior to bringing it to our table and quickly sent for another one. My steak was perfectly cooked, mid-rare but I could have used a bit more seasoning. The lobster tail was the highlight for my meal. The lobster came out served on top of its tail shell, but then it was removed by the waiter, (as if I could not handle it on my own :-) The lobster was not at all dry, which I worried about. It was moist, tender, and was pure lobster deliciousness!
As we dug into our steaks, we were given sides of asparagus and Fleming's potatoes. I found the asparagus to be seasoned and cooked very well but a bit overly oily. The Fleming's potatoes were like layers of lasagna, covered in a creamy sauce. I've never been a big fan of any creamy potato dish, but this was exceptionally good.
For the finale we had Chocolate Lava Cake ~ a rich chocolate cake with a hot molten chocolate center, served with vanilla ice cream and sweet crisp wafers. The warm hot molten center with a scoop of the cool vanilla ice cream was the perfect way to end this wonderful meal.
Fleming's is a fantastic place to dine for a couple, family or with good friends. They are a chain, but they know how to cook steak very well and they are consistent. They have an exceptional wine list, which is what I recommend. Their well drinks are a too pricey (vodka & water X 2 = $24) so stick with wine.
