Went to Fleming’s for my birthday. Had a great time. We were ~10 minutes early, welcomed, and seated within 2-3 minutes. The restaurant is very comfortable, has great atmosphere, and we felt welcomed. Our server was at the table within an unnoticeable couple minutes. That gave us a chance to check out the menu. We were promptly served water at our request and our drinks arrived in short order. They were very good. I had the smoked old fashioned. The presentation was beautiful and it tasted great. Smooth, complex, and nice looking. My wife had the Social V&T with seasonable herbs. A nice start to the night. We ordered a Cesar salad which my wife said was delicious. I had a half dozen oysters and they were fantastic. They came with a side of mignonette and horseradish. We all ordered steak. They cooked perfectly. I had the Bone-in Prime NY Strip. My family had the Prime NY Strips. They were amazing! Tender, flavorful, well seasoned, and marbling that melted in your mouth, mind blowing. We had shareable mushrooms and lobster mac n cheese, perfect accompaniments. The mac n cheese was decadent and rich. For dessert, we had coffees, and espresso, to go with our cheesecake, and fruit with Chantilly cream. A great way to end the night. I had a candle and was welcomed with a nice birthday card, nice gestures. We had a great time, although the last 30 to 45 minutes of our two hour meal service seemed strained or constrained. The restaurant patron volume was busier, but I got the impression that it might have a blend of front and back of the house staff challenges. The temperature of coffees and dessert were just right, but they were slow to get, as were clearing the table and check. I’d also add that it took a while to get the steaks well after our wine arrived. Overall, we had a great time and the food was marvelous. Looking forward to returning.

Always a treat! Went with a business group, we enjoyed a great meal. Tony and Antonio took care of us and were attentive without being overbearing. Of course, the food is the star of the show.

We chose those location for our 40th Anniversary and making a reservation is definitely a great idea. The atmosphere was so welcoming and perfect for the event and the service was awesome. They were there every time we needed something but not to where it was overly hovering. The staff made the night perfect and the flavors were an experience that brought the entire evening together. The prices were up there for us but for the meals we received it was so worth every penny. Couldnt have asked for anything more.

Enjoyed social hour with loved ones. The drinks were good, strong & sweet. The shrimp tempura was fresh crispy, and the apricot jam was a nice compliment. I also ordered prime rib sliders (not pictured) that were well prepared and flavorful. The restaurant had a great ambience with a upscale, classy casual vibe, and the service was top-tier.

Ok. Let's Do It. Flemings is Standing on Business. I have no complaints, only praise and compliments. The appetizers were amazing the best Calamari I've ever eaten hands down. Excuse my French, but it causes mouthgasims...yes I said it. From the Hostess Mancy to our waiter, Antonio, the service is top tier. To put the icing on the cake, they ask if you "want your lobster deshelled," and they give you the cutest lobster butter warmers. Little things impress me. The Management Team Anthony and Michelle(Meechie) as busy as it was took the time to make sure that the service and the food was to our liking. The steaks melted in your mouth. Big shout to Shawnee. You showed up and showed out. The lobster and scallops cooked to perfection. Last but not least, those damn lobster mashed potatoes I don't really care for mashed potatoes, but those potatoes are freaking orgasimic....they changed my life. Hands down, folks, I'm in love. Go check it out. I promise they won't disappoint. Thank you, Flemings, for a wonderful fantastic dining experience

Price can be on the higher end but all I have to say is look at this. We went to a Caribbean night and it was amazing food. I believe 6 courses. All worth the money .

I had the most incredible experience at this restaurant! The staff went above and beyond to make my birthday dinner truly special. They were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the entire evening, making me feel like a valued guest. Now, let's talk about the food – it was absolutely immaculate! Every dish was a masterpiece of flavors and presentation. Each bite was a delightful journey for the taste buds, and I couldn't have asked for a more delicious birthday meal. I can't recommend this place enough. From the warm and welcoming staff to the exquisite cuisine, it was a birthday celebration to remember, and I'll definitely be returning for more memorable dining experiences.
