| - Earl and I finally made it here for happy hour (weekdays from 5-7pm). When we arrived, there were a few spots at the bar so we chose two open seating. We were presented with a bowl of house made chips and the HH menu. I placed an orde5r for a Moscow Mule right away. The HH menu is pretty straight forward. 5 for $6 til 7pm. 5 types of cocktail, 5 types of wine by the glass, and 5 types of appetizers, each selection for $6.
For under $50, Earl and I had:
-3 Moscow Mules: Perfect balance of vodka, ginger beer, and everything else that made it so delicious. After 1/2 of this drink, I was buzzed.
-1 Dirty Martini: Earl chose this drink. I smelled it and handed it back to Earl. Pretty strong.
-Tenderloin Carpaccio: A full plate thinly sliced tenderloin, topped with sliced spinach, paired with the creole mustard sauce, capers, and cheesy crostini. I really enjoyed this dish.
-Pan-crisp Pork Belly: The pork belly was served with goat cheese grits and sweet onion chutney. It was overall a good appetizer. I wish there was something, like pickled something to cut the richness of the dish.
The bill came out just shy of $40 pre tip. The service was excellent. Our bartenders (Kristin and Danielle) are so attentive and personable. I highly recommend Fleming's for Happy Hour!
