Oh and to think I used to like this place. Â On our visit tonight we had the Sunday prime rib special. The prime rib was tasteless and the Mac and cheese was like soup. The bread was not as good as in the past and they changed the way they prepare the wedge salad and it wasn't for the better. Instead of blue cheese crumbles it was served with a blue cheese pat. Like a pat of butter. A 1 inch strip of bacon not crumbles. Fried onion strings that were soggy not crisp fresh onions. It was like you had to create your salad after it was served and chop everything up yourself. The guy in the booth behind us complained that the prime rib was tough and got a free dessert. Ours came with dessert which the portions were smaller than in the past but that's okay as we were already disenchanted with the whole meal. Although the cheesecake and turtle cake were good. Â The restaurant was very, very loud. We had to keep repeating ourselves. While I'm on my rant, my husband and I went to their happy hour a week ago and had the $6.00 prime burger. I thought it was just okay. Husband did not like at all. Thank goodness only $6.00 and not the normal $14.00. Â Maybe a bad night but too many other places in town to get a good steak.
Review Source:You will not be disappointed! While we typically eat at the bar instead of the dining room, we have always received top notch, professional service. Cocktails are shaken and stirred up one at a time right in front of you which is excellent. The steaks are to die for, the Happy Hour menu rocks, and to top it all off the creme brulee here has become my absolute favorite dessert in the world. Be prepared to drop some $$$ but in my opinion this place is nearly as good as it can get.
Review Source:I have yet to find a steakhouse in Las Vegas that compares to Fleming's. We've been to countless steakhouses on the strip but nothing beats their ribeye. Their scalloped potatoes & jalapeño macaroni & cheese are so delicious! Despite how packed it is every time we go, service is always great!
Review Source:Fleming's did it again!!! Our family is visiting from Newcastle, England and we wanted to have a nice dinner before they left. We chose Fleming's from previous experiences (great ones!) and again, we were delighted and so were they. We started with the Portobello Mushroom Ravioli appetizer that was fabulous to say the least. We didn't deviate and had the small bites, lamb chops and sliced filet...the meat melts in your mouth. Our guests had the full size filet and blue cheese mashed potatoes for the side. The potatoes were absolutely delicious, I couldn't stop 'tasting' them (actually I ate most of them, just a little taste here and there). Also, if you like Pinot Noir, you must try the Garnet, nice and smooth, wonderful accompaniment with our choice of entrees. I wish I could remember our server, he was great..perfect timing, never intrusive, informative and nice! Hearing and recognizing our guests accents, he gave us a huge smile and said "Cheers!". Perfect topping for a wonderful evening out. Fleming's never disappoints!!!
Review Source:In my opinion, the best traditional steakhouse in the valley. The atmosphere is very nice, makes you want to eat steak lol. The place looks like a high class steakhouse abd that's exactly what it is, but the service makes you feel like you are an old friend. Stone of the nicest servers in the city in my opinion. As for the food, only one word to describe it: perfect. Every cut, perfect. Every side dish, amazing. Nothing more can be said about this place. I'd recommend it to any of my friends. And no, I do not work here, I just effing love steak and this place lol.
Review Source:We had a nice dinner,, but my wife got food posioning.. Â She woke up 4am and was ill and continued to be ill that day.. Â Could keep nothing down and very dehiderated. Â The management while polite seemed to think I was shaking them down when I asked for a partial discount off our $300 bill.. Â Rather hard to accept such an event when dining at such a place.. Â Better luck..
Review Source:SO happy my mom asked me to give this Fleming's location another chance. Over the past year, they have really made some drastic improvements: the first being the smiling hostesses.
My experience was much better than the last time but that could be because we were in the dining room this time. The dining room provided nothing less than a five star experience.
The food was flawless and my taste buds were beyond satisfied. Fleming's, will you please share the secret to your ice cream?
Taylor R was our server and although she was a sweetheart and did a wonderful job, our experience was really based on our busser, Gil. He was AWESOME. Never was my water glass less than half full and he was always willing to grab something if we needed it. He works with passion and is truly looking out for the customers best interest. Servers would be nowhere without their bussers and I really think that Gil's service should be recognized.
Can't wait for my next visit to Fleming's - hopefully the Town Square location that should be opening soon!
The food here is INCREDIBLY good!
I have yet to delve into the main dinner menu because I'm usually here for what is a very affordable happy hour. I have not had anything that isn't amazing. The crab cakes are generous and delicious, the burger is awesome, the brie cheese puff pastry is rich and oh so good (very shareable portion). The mushroom ravioli is some of the best pasta i have had...the mushroom sauce on the plate never goes to waste because if i don't manage to eat it all, they have a basket of bread nearby for u to make sure u enjoy every bit.....and my absolute favorite dish is the tuna steak
Holy holes in a boat, batman. This tuna is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and the spicy mustard sauce (spicy mustard and wasabi) is so good a drizzle wont do. You might as well order the sauce in a lil bowl on the side.
I stumbled upon a great wine as well playing spin the bottle on the ipad menus at the bar as well. Chateau parenchere....that is also something i have not been able to deviate from because it is THAT good! Â And at $10 a glass, its reasonable as well.
I have been beyond satisfied with the service here, and everybody on the wait staff has been professional, engaging, and really nice to me (even coming here in shorts and a t shirt my very first visit), I appreciate that non snobby treatment.
Do yourself a favor and try this place at least once......but be warned, it is habit forming
For a giant corporate-owned chain, this place brings the goods. I like the fact that I can expect a great meal at any location. Â The wines by the glass menu is quite large, which is nice if there are only two of you and she drinks white. Â They frequently have special promotional menus that include a side, salad, steak and desert. Â My only complaint is that they don't have a Hendo location.
Review Source:If you don't love meat, don't eat here.
Flemings is one of my all time favorite restaurants, this however was my first time to this location and it didn't disappoint.
We went to Flemings to celebrate a big step forward in the growth of my boyfriend's business. We made reservations online for their Filet and Lobster special $39.95 a person. We arrived and only had a brief wait before being seated. We were handed our menus and an iPad which had an interactive app for their wine list.
Our waiter was attentive and patient. It took me forever to decide on a bottle of wine - Caymus Conundrum. When I placed the order he said, "the Red right?" I was so thankful he said that, because I wasn't even aware that conundrum came in a red version, and no I didn't want that. Whew, that was close. They didn't have the white version we were hoping for, they do have it in Salt Lake, but the wines vary by location (they are hand chosen by the sommelier). We decided against a bottle after all, I ordered a glass of wine and my boyfriend ordered a beer.
Note: Each location has an extensive wine list 250 or so wines and many are available by the glass. If you purchase a whole bottle, they will typically save the label for you and put it on a nice card you can save as a memento, perfect for special occasions! If you order a bottle of red wine, they'll bring a decanter to your table - this is they way all restaurants need to do it!
We placed our dinner order and enjoyed their fresh baked bread while we waited. If you haven't been here you'll LOVE their specialty butter - it's to die for! One is sun dried tomato, the other is champagne infused. You'll certainly want more than they bring you of each, and in the past I've not been too proud to ask for some to take home with my left overs - yes it's THAT good!
Our meals came with wedge salads - my favorite! The bacon was sweet (maple), and the blue cheese was generous. Our steaks were cooked to perfection! His was Medium rare, mine medium. The lobster was the best I've had in years! Not fishy at all, not rubbery, simply amazing! It also came with a side of spaghetti squash that was tasty too.
We ended our meal with their Chocolate Lava Cake - $11.95. It takes 20 minutes to make so you have to order it part way into your meal. But it is heaven on a plate! Worth every penny and definitely something to share.
I can't wait for our next excuse to celebrate, because I'm already dying to go back!
Tip: In Nevada, if you order a bottle of wine and can't finish it, they are allowed to re-cork it and send it home with you. Good to know.
Tip: They often have great pre-fix menus (check their website), but typically you'll have to make reservations online to get the offering. Also, for most holidays like Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc. They typically will offer a $25 gift card for your visit, good on a future visit.
Awesome nightly Happy Hour + delicious Prime Burger + Niki's excellent service + fancy eatery = 5 stars
Happy Hour ($6/item) nightly 5 - 7 pm at the bar  <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flemingssteakhouse.com%2Fbar-menu-and-cocktails&s=307db3c55c9240da00f7200c7a4731af6739166c3bce53969bd532ff43403e43" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.flemingssteak…</a>
Got here 5:05 pm on Tue/16 Apr:
- Place supposedly opens at 5 pm but it was pretty busy at the bar when I got there at 5:05 pm (some patrons, regulars I'm guessing, already had drinks/food/etc) and since all the bar seats were occupied I sat at a table.
- I waited about 5 min for a server but I think that's because it was fairly busy. Â Once Niki, my server, got to my table and took my order everything was quick: martini arrival, food arrival, ice water refills...
- Â My order: 1) I loved the Prime Burger which had bacon & choice of 3 different cheeses (I opted for blue cheese) and (sweet potato?) french fries. Â 2) Thought the calamari was too oily/soggy but the portion size was large so I took the remainder to go. Â 3) Had the tasty Stoli Bombshell at only 99 calories, otherwise I would have opted for the 2 for $6 Blue Moon seasonal. Â
- The Prime Burger at $6 was a steal and will definitely order that again in the future, wouldn't  get the calamari again and the Stoli martini for $6 is a good deal.

Decided to try Flemings as I was hungry for a sizzling steak and an earthy glass of wine. Â What a disappointment. Â Wine pour was short. Â Salad was plain and simple. Â And, my steak was overdone yet mushy.
I'm a foody and expect the best. Â I'll be passing on Flemings in the future. Â T-BONES is MUCH better in every way.
I love it when my occupation (resident IT Stud) allows me to go to these 'IT seminars' where we learn about new technology coming out on the market. Â I especially love it when these seminars are at a swanky place that most times I can't afford! Â For this one I put my game face on, shined my glasses, put my pocket protector in place, and headed out to Fleming's Prime Steakhouse in the NW part of town. Â Goodness (and geekiness) ensued.
After being greeted at the door and lead to the registration table for the seminar, I found a nice table in the back where I would be little bothered with the meal I was about to consume in honor of network technicians everywhere. Â Met up with some fellas I know from another division in our state network, and chatted about the upcoming 3G/4G service disposition, as well as rumors about the fall of Apple stock, and possibly the state of pocket protector technologies (very important). Â After a round of iced tea and virgin Margaritas (silly nerds) we were welcome by our hosts of the day. Â Of course at this point, my mind kind of tuned itself out and focused solely on the menu we were going to enjoy at today's techie outing.
Each table was started out with a loaf of warm bread (damn you carbs) with some great whipped herb butter. Â We were also allowed to share several appetizers per table:
-Cedar Roasted Mushroom & Artichoke Flatbread - monterey jack cheese, roasted red peppers, and garlic
-Prime Steakhouse Meatballs - with shiitake mushrooms, and peppercorn sauce
-Housemade Burrata - charred grape tomatoes with wild arugula, served with garlic crostini
-Fleming's Salad - complete with candied walnuts, dried cranberries, tomato, onion, and herbed croutons
All very good. Â Nice start to a meal, eh? Â After a brief break from eating, we were all treated to a what seemed like a very, very, very long seminar on cloud computing, virtual servers, and BLAH BLAH BLAH. Â I know, I should have been listening better. Â Thankfully, not soon after we were allowed to complete the orders of our lunch. Â We had our choice of:
-Petite Filet Mignon
-Breast of Chicken
-Barbecue Scottish Salmon Fillet
I always say, at a steakhouse, do as the carnivores do. Â I just had to go with the Petite Filet Mignon. Â Come on, USDA Prime, seasoned with only black pepper and kosher salt, then broiled at 1600 degrees till your choice of doneness? Â I. Â AM. Â GAME. Â I'm like Missy Elliott in an over-produced rap video, Â 'Doot..doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot...Get ur' freak on...doot-doot-doot-doot-doot..'
That baby came to the table sizzling. Â It was a nice cut, but being petite it was probably around the 5-6 oz. range. Â But no complaints here! Â Meat was succulent, tender, and juicy all around. Â Cooked just right for me at a medium rare. Â It wasn't the best filet I've had, but it was very good. Â For free...it was excellent! Â Although looking back, that salmon fillet looked really yummy as well. Â Maybe next free power lunch!
Along with our entrees, each table got to share a sampling of some of Fleming's fabulous sides. Â I managed to finagle (nerd rage galore) scant tastings of:
-Mashed Potatoes with roasted garlic
-Chipotle Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese (oh man this was delish)
-Sauteed Spinach
All great, all loaded with extra butter. Â Thank God for that slice of bread I saved from earlier! Â I sopped it all up. Â Fatty McGhee was in the house.
But wait...there's more! Â At the end of our IT seminar we were treated to a nice slice of Cheesecake - NY style topped with blueberry sauce and white chocolate shavings. Â What a way to send me off back to work! Â Food coma in the making. Â
The only thing missing from this seminar was the usual free USB flash drives sporting the company's logo (I really needed one), and the fact that I never, ever win the door prize from these things. Â I think this time the grand prizes were a Best Buy gift card, and a gift certificate from Fleming's themselves. Â But, at least I got away with a free company pen and a full belly. Â And a lifetime's worth of annoying phone calls asking me to try their tech products free for 30 days. Â Oh, but sometimes those phone calls are totally worth it. Â Free meat for all techies!
Great steak! Â After my recent disappointments in Vegas (Carnevino & Gordon Ramsay Steak...), I was due for a satsifying steak...
The cut could've been the best cut I have ever had of New York steak. Â Zero stringiness in the cut! Â The primest of prime! Â The color of the pink was the same shade throughout: I was impressed with how consistent it was. Â Steak cooked to perfection! Â
I just wished Flemings was closer to the Strip... it was about 20 minutes driving at light speed.. =(
I haven't been to Flemings for at least 2 years. The last time was in California at the Newport Beach location. It was a week before my birthday, and I still haven't decided where I wanted to eat dinner that night. At first I thought, maybe I'll look at restaurants on the strip. Then I told myself, on a Saturday? Hell no! Yes, I am one of those locals who avoid going to the strip as much as possible lol. I thought about Flemings and how I have never ate at this location, so I decided to make a reservation here.
The first thing I noticed when we drove in was the valet. Seriously, does anyone else agree that the valet here is pointless? There are parking stalls very close to the restaurant and you don't have to walk far. Anyway, our reservation was at 5:00pm and we arrived about 15 minutes early so we decided to sit at the bar. They had iPad menus which you could use to browse the wine list and food options, which was pretty awesome. The bartender was friendly. She chatted with us for a bit and made us feel welcomed.
We were seated right at 5:00. The hostess asked us if we preferred black napkins because some people don't like the lint from the white napkins getting on their dark clothes. This was the first time I was given a napkin color option at a restaurant. We told her that the white ones were fine. The food was just as good as I remembered. I ordered the Petite Filet Mignon. Yes, its a pretty small steak, but I like to leave room for some sides and of course dessert for my birthday! My steak was cooked to perfection - mouth watering, easy to cut, juicy and full of flavor! I ordered a baked potato as my side because their Chipotle Cheddar Mac & Cheese had scallions in it that were pre-mixed. :( Sorry, not a fan of onions, scallions, chives, etc. My husband enjoyed his Main Filet Mignon as well. He also ordered the grilled asparagus as a side, but didn't like the taste of it. For dessert, we got the Chocolate Lava Cake, which is always very delicious! It is a little rich, so its perfect for sharing.
30 minutes into our meal, we looked over at the bar, and it was packed! Happy Hour here at Fleming's must be very popular! They should really consider expanding the bar area to accommodate the large crowd. Service was very attentive and excellent. The manager even stopped by our table to wish me a happy birthday. At the end of our meal, our server gave me a complimentary box of truffles as my birthday treat. How nice!
This place isn't cheap, but it was worth the money. I would definitely come back again in the future for a special occasion!
My company was looking for a steakhouse to have our dinner. this turned out to be the perfect option.
From the moment I started inquiring and working with Kelly I knew this was a great place. Kelly was accommodating and helpful. She explained all the options we had available to us.
We had a private room, which was perfect for our group. It was a lovely room with plenty of space to mingle.
The service from the moment we arrived was 5 star.
Our wait staff was attentive and kind. our food was brought out in quick succession so that we were all served within moments of one another.
We started with a cheese and fruit platter which was very good. The bread served was crunchy and warm. Two butter choices.
The salad crisp and fresh. Perfectly dressed. the entrees were cooked to every ones desire and there was not a morsel left on anyone's plates.
The cheesecake was a slice of heaven.
Our president was delighted with our choice. We will be back.
Thank you Kelly and staff!!
My entire family was dazzled by the service and quality of the food. It was an overall spectacular event even though we had a little under an hour to eat and run to catch a show. Our server, I believe his name was Billy, went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed ourselves even though we made it a point that we needed to "stuff ourselves and dash".
3 of us had prime rib and it was probably the best beef we have ever had. The previous night we have filet Mignon, but it didn't compare to the prime rib we had at Flemings. The salad and side dishes of creamed spinach & mashed potatoes were ridiculously good! The prime rib came with 3 different sauces too. My kid ordered onion rings for his side and the four of us enjoyed them together.
What more can I say? We didn't experience anything bad about this place. Our waiter approached our table with a trainee but made it a point to let us know so we wouldn't question why there was a guy following him around. The entire staff - servers, manager, hostess, etc. - were very polite and professional. This place runs like a well-oiled machine.
When I was rushing through the front door, I heard a voice behind me say "Thank you Mr. {my name}" with a smile from the hostess ... that was like the cherry on top of a great evening at Flemings. Â I wish all my dining experiences were like what I experienced at Flemings. When we visit Vegas again, we will definitely return for a much slower paced dinner at Flemings.
We're not big steak eaters at all, but when we got snail mail from Fleming's with a $50 gift card inside - we have no idea how or why! - we figured might as well go for it. Â
I made a reservation for 8:00 p.m. on Friday just a couple of hours earlier. Â Our table wasn't ready at 8, but we were seated not long after that by a very friendly and cheerful hostess, and the service went uphill from there.
As soon as we placed our drink orders we were treated to the bread basket - a loaf of seed-crusted bread with two flavored butters. Â Too bad, 'cause it was all too good and I ate too much of it!
We shared a Fleming's salad, and I forgot to ask for the dressing on the side. Â The kitchen split it for us and the salad wasn't drowning in dressing, which was delicious and not overly-vinegary.
I try to avoid eating a lot of meat, so I ordered the New Zealand Baby lamb chops from the small plates part of the menu, and hubby ordered the Newport Filet Mignon, which came with Fleming's potatoes. Â My lamb chop plate had three baby chops and two thick polenta fries. Â The fries were outstanding, but I was having a tough time with the tough and flavorless chops. Â When the waiter came over to inquire about the food, I wasn't going to say anything, because one bite out of one little chop made it look like I'd already eaten half the meal! Â But my face must have given it away, because he persisted, and then INsisted that he get me something else. Â He let me keep the delicious polenta, and I ordered the sliced filet mignon, also from the small plates side. Â Four small slices of perfectly medium-rare steak, each one sitting on an oval mound of porcini risotto, were enough to make this non-steak-lover feel as if she'd gone to culinary heaven. Â The steak was like BUTTAH, and so delicious that I'm craving it even as I write this. Â I don't even like risotto, but that stuff was outstanding. Â And so was the filet my husband had, and his potato accompaniment was out-of-this-world richness personified.
Despite the fact that our check would have been very small compared to all the other tables around us even if we didn't have that gift card, our server, Ryan, was totally attentive and never once conveyed any kind of attitude. Â Even more astounding, they took the lamb chops off the bill, as they should have, and comped the sliced filet! Â That, my friends, is the hallmark of a good restaurant.
During the meal a hostess walked around distributing $25 gift cards to each table good for a future visit. Â Unfortunately, it has a mid-March expiration, and I'll be out of town for an extended period, so it won't do us any good unless my husband decides to do a solo performance. Â But we definitely will go back.
Flemmings was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend and I dined at Flemmings this past week for our anniversary. The server Bill was very helpful with the wine selection and I trusted his suggestions (he listened to what I was looking for and gave the perfection suggestion). We started off with a caesar salad which was the right amount of unique caesar dressing. We shared onion rings as well as the sauteed green beans with mushrooms (both amazing). He ordered the special bone in NY and I had the petite filet mignon. Both were mouth watering and cooked perfectly. We were too full to eat dessert (even though I wanted to). Bill brought out creme brulee with a candle and said we had to have dessert for our anniversary. This was the best creme brulee I have ever had! I must say, the staff was wonderful. Bill and his server assistant did a phenomenal job!!
Review Source:I have spent two birthdays at Flemmings. . . and visited on other occasions. Â I want to love it, but I just don't. . . I only like it. Â I've never been disappointed with the service or the decor. Â They are both to die for and if I was only reviewing the service I would gladly provide a five star rating. Â The team at Flemmings is on their "A-Game". Â Flemmings happy hour is the BOMB Diggity. Â The appetizers and cocktails can't be beat, bring back the seared ahi please. Â The decor is warm and rich and the smells mingling from the kitchen are intoxicating. Â
All of the being said. . . on both occasions I wanted an out-of-this world steak and I got an alright steak. Â The cuts were ok, and they weren't cooked perfectly on either occasion. Â There was no wow factor. Â I can cook a better filet or rib eye at home. Â I am an Iowa farmer's daughter and I know my beef. Â Maybe I am spoiled and have high expectations, but with the price tag at Flemmings the steaks should match the excellent service. Â The sides we ordered were also just ok. Â The use of cream and butter drown out the mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. Â I will go back to Flemmings again at some point and I will stick with the appetizers for now.
If you're craving steak and don't want to leave the friendly confines of Summerlin, Fleming's should be near the top of your list. When we stopped in on a Tuesday night it was hopping and there was a 15 minute wait. So, apparently the fine folks in and around this master-planned community are well aware of the good eats here.
The atmosphere is just like any other traditional steakhouse. You've got your white linens, dark wood accents, mood lighting, etc. And, just like other steakhouses you'll find the typical steakhouse fare: for example a wedge and caesar salad, French onion soup, some seafood, and a variety of steaks. It's familiar, comforting, and (most importantly) good.
The crab cake appetizer ($15.95) consists of two small jumbo lump crab cakes in a lime butter sauce. They're lightly seasoned, allowing the sweetness of the crab meat to shine.
Unfortunately, the butternut squash soup ($9.50) was a miss. Thin, watery, and runny aren't good qualities for any soup.
The 14 oz. bone-in filet ($54) made up for it. While it could have benefitted from a more charred exterior, the seasoning was spot on and the quality of the beef was well worth the hefty price tag.
We had two sides. The sautéed mushrooms ($9.50) contained a variety, most of which were slightly overdone, which I actually prefer. The sautéed sweet corn ($8.50) was average at best.
Surprisingly, they have a kid's menu. With our little guy in tow, he gladly ordered a plate of chicken tenders ($14.95). What came out was a massive mound of crispy fries topped with several strips of chicken. The plate easily could have fed two or three kids. The meal also included an appetizer of celery, carrots, apples, and ranch. A kid's ice cream sundae is an additional $1.
Splitting an entree usually means the wife and I have room for dessert. We went with their chocolate lava cake ($10.95). You'll definitely want to share this dish. It was a big mound of cake and oozing belgian chocolate. The vanilla ice cream and chopped pistachios provided a wonderful contrast in temperatures and texture. Countless restaurants have a version of this dish, but this one was truly memorable. The fresh whipped cream on the side didn't hurt either.
The meal wasn't cheap but was much cheaper than a similar one on the Strip. They may play it safe with the menu, but it won't leave you disappointed. If you're looking for that traditional steakhouse experience it's good to know that you don't have to travel far to get it.
The food was excellent, the service less so hence only 3 stars. Â I ordered the Porcini rubbed filet and my wife ordered the Lite filet. Â My steak was 8 ounces and hers was 6 ounces. Â Mine came with asparagus--3 spears and hers came with Fleming's potatoes. Â I ordered mine black and blue and she ordered hers medium. Â Both were cooked perfectly and were delicious. Â I didn't taste any porcini from the porcini rub.
I thought there'd be more than 3 asparagus spears so I didn't order an extra side and the small amount of Fleming's potatoes was fine for my wife. Â
We were started with a nice breadbasket with two kinds of flavored butters. Â I didn't overdo the bread because I wanted to enjoy the steak and to have some room for dessert. Â When we ordered our meal, the server informed us they needed 10 minutes to prepare the chocolate lava cake if we opted for that for dessert.
Part way through our meal, the server stopped by and asked if she should put in an order for the lava cake. Â I thought it was a bit early, and should have declined at that time, but instead I trusted her knowledge. Â I am a fast eater, my wife is a tortoise.
Another server brought the dessert to the table just as my wife put down her fork from her meal. Â When this other person saw the table hadn't yet been cleared, she took the cake back to the kitchen and placed it on a shelf. Â She then came back and cleared the table, went back to the kitchen, and returned with the dessert with its now melting ice cream. Â Also, they failed the sweetener packet test miserably!
When you're paying as much for your meal as you do at Fleming's, you expect good if not excellent service. Â This simply wasn't good service. Â I would give this place a 2 star rating based on just the service, but the steaks were so good I raised it to three. Â It was OK if not A--OK. Â
With all the good steakhouses in this city, I won't be returning even though it's close to where I live.
The atmosphere is romantic with low lighting. However the noice level is energetic and not the best for conversation. This location is busy every day of the week.
The service was friendly and prompt. Water glasses were refilled without asking.
The petite filet mignon was cooked as ordered and served on a very hot plate. The salmon filet had a wonderful glaze and was just the right size for me. We shared  two sides, mashed potatoes and creamed sweet corn which complemented both entrees.
Overall Fleming's offers some great food at prices much lower than the Las Vegas strip restaurants.
Narrow window (only about two hours long) for the happy hour but man oh man is it worth it! Also a catchy name '5 for 6 till 7'
!!Cocktails!!
Tropical Martini
- Made with Malibu coconut rum this cocktail is a perfect summer drink. Tastes of malibu with pineapple and something else. Light on the boozie taste, on the sweet side and fruity. Even if it sounds like a girl drink i'll still order one after another.
Blood Orange Fizz
- Not something i'd order again in my own opinion. Tasted like grapefruit where you have a mix of sour and citrus bitter. It's how the drink is suppose to taste, i guess i just don't go with it. Also confused about the Fizz bit as there was no fizz.
!!Apps!!
Roasted Mushroom Ravioli
- Completely agree with Anthony M who gave me his last Ravioli (comes in 3s). The sauce is just amazing. I mean WOW that sauce was good. if there were bread offered at the bar during happy hour i would have grabbed some and soaked up some of that sauce. Ravioli itself paired very nicely with the sauce. The thing that impressed me the most was the large coarse chunks of mushrooms in the ravioli. My expectation of ravioli is usually pasta on the outside with some kind of fancy named mixed mush on the inside. Not these bad boys.
Tenderloin Carpaccio
- The tenderloin was just so damn tender to the point where it just melts in your mouth. This carpaccio is styled a bit differently then i'm used to. The topping was a basil and red onion with capers...umm...salad i guess with what tasted like a mustard based aioli. The Carpaccios i'm used to usually have a garlic aioli and some sort of spring salad on top with some kind of shredded cheese. This one was also served with slices of garlic bread with some melted cheese on top. Another head scratchier was cheese like garnish on top of the basil. We all thought it was cheese but it turned out to be hard boiled egg. Live and learn eh?
!!Brrrraaaiiiinnnn...i mean Maaaaaiiinnnnnssss!!
All three of us got the Sunday Prime Rib dinner for 29.99. I agree with others out there who expressed the feeling of robbing this fine establishment of a three course meal. The prime rib was between 12-14 ounces of beefy goodness and you get a side as well. Pre-steak included your choices of salads and post-steak includes a dessert. I was expecting a fixed dessert seeing as I just got an amazing deal on the main course. No...let me say that again NO you can have ANY dessert on the menu! We got chocolate lava cakes served with ice cream!
And finally as a closing statement i ate the bowl of whipped cream on a dare...Don't do it....i don't recommend eating the whipped cream. You CAN i mean it's quality whipped cream...just...don't...
Best Prime Rib dinner I've ever had in my entire life!! Wow is that too big of a statement? The Prime Rib dinner here puts every Prime Rib Roast dinner I've ever attempted to shame! And I'm the official Prime Rib cook for every single holiday event in my family. That's a lot of Prime Rib cooking under my belt. But here at Fleming's, I would rather just go out to eat here and save myself all the hassle.
For $29, I feel like I just stole from Fleming's. 3 course meal! Any Sides? Any Desert? Prime Rib that is melt in your mouth tender and juicy that you thought you just died in beef heaven. Â I should be ashamed of myself for enjoying so much for costing so little.
My favorite steakhouse because they have my favorite dessert, CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE! Takes 20 minutes to cook because the warm ooey gooey chocolatey goodness inside the cake. Served with two scoops of vanilla ice cream and crème fraiche.
We ordred the Prime Ribeye medium rare and it came out slightly dry. I don't know if it was because of the quality of meat or the way it was cooked but BF didn't want to send it back so we just ate it.
In addition to the ribeye, we ordered the roasted mushroom ravioli, fresh mozzarella and sweet tomato salad and sautéed spinach. All of their dishes are flavored heavily with butter, even the sautéed spinach, so it's not for the health conscious. But, it makes everything taste great!
The server was a tiny bit slow but maybe because she thought we were enjoying a leisurely meal she didn't want to interrupt us too often. But our waters were constantly being re-filled. A+ for that :)
I am a regular fan of Fleming's, but had never before tried its Las Vegas location. Â A Filet & Lobster Special for $34.95 drew Diane and me in with another couple. Â After our meal was completed, we were quite glad that we had come.
To begin at the beginning, we were presented with excellent chewy Rosemary Sourdough Bread with Chardonnay & Feta Cheese Butter. Â Mmmmm! Â Delicious! Â Sun-Dried Tomato Butter was also offered, but I was not as fond of it.
French Onion Soup that came next was good but small, and the cheesy top was not fully capped. Â A small Wedge Salad with vibrant Cherry Tomato halves, Blue Cheese Crumbles, and a Blue Cheese Dressing was excellent. Â After 2 quickly downed glasses of Iced Tea, my small glass was smartly exchanged by our server for a large globe. Â But later, just as she was pouring me a refill from a pitcher, the very attentive waitress was suddenly bumped from behind by a plate deliverer, and I was doused with Iced Tea. Â It was no big deal, and not our server's fault. Â But the manager came over, gave me her card, and said that the restaurant would pay for any needed drycleaning of my shirt and pants. Â I appreciated the gesture, but regular washing by Diane took care of the problem, with no lingering stains. Â And, except for the splash, service was otherwise exemplary.
My medium-rare Filet was excellent although peppery, and the meaty Lobster Tail was large and sweet, as I had hoped it would be.  Requested Bearnaise Sauce for the steak was somewhat viscous and excellent.  And, Drawn Butter for the  crustacean was tasty until it grew cold.  The busy restaurant was out of warmers, announced our server apologetically.  Sauteed Button Mushrooms yielded a very good side, and so did a platter of thin buttered Green Beans mixed with quite a few slices of mushroom.  But had I known that these greens would come with mushrooms, I probably would not have ordered a side of mushrooms, as well.
We finished with Chocolate Lava Cake that came with Vanilla Ice Cream and Chantilly Whipped Cream. Â It was a tasty end to a fine meal!
I really wanted to give Fleming's 5 stars! Â I had heard a lot about it and had my hopes set high. Â We went here about a week ago to celebrate hubby's birthday and were excited to ingest red meat....happens once or twice a year at best.
The interior is lovely and dark, as befits a steakhouse. Â We thought the tables were closer to each other than necessary; the overall effect was less intimate and more crowded. Â Hmm.
Hostess was pleasant and perky as she guided us to a booth (yay!). Â Our actual server was a little on the reserved side and could not be blamed for being overly solicitous at all. Â (Someone else came to inquire how we liked our food.)
Yes, the food.  We each got a salad (Fleming's Salad and the Wedge Salad), and enjoyed them both very much.  I ordered the BBQ Scottish Salmon Fillet -- yeah, I know I said I was excited to eat a steak, but I also really really like salmon! -- and hubby got the NY Strip steak with a side of asparagus.  Both entrées were very good and proved that the kitchen knows what they're doing.  Sadly, we were both too stuffed for dessert.
My criticisms: the service. Â I'm sure that many folks who have visited Fleming's have received excellent service and that's fantastic. Â I'm just a little disappointed that our server was basically just doing her job: serving the food. Â We mentioned right away that it was our first visit -- a tip for introducing house specials or suggesting wine pairings or just chatting about how awesome the food is -- but nada. Â She seemed most animated when she brought us our bill. Â (The gent who cleared our dishes after each course was smiley and happy, though!)
So, the thing I most remember about my first visit to Fleming's is the food, which is probably a good thing. Â However, I had expected more skill and enthusiasm from our server, especially when I was paying a pretty penny for dinner.
This updated review is for their lava cake only! We got to come back a couple days after our first visit and we had ordered the lava cake for dessert! Deliciousness! Melty chocolately not overly sweet moist cake with aweome ice cream! I definitely recommend this dessert for anyone that goes to Flemings.
My filet wasn't as awesome as the first time, some tough pieces to chew through, but I still loved the Fleming's Potatoes! We also got the sauteed spinach instead of the creamed spinach and I liked it 10 times more.
Service was better this time around, but they weren't extremely busy for a Wednesday night! I will definitely be back for Happy Hour and Lava Cake!
Went to this uppity steak restaurant expecting great things, and was only moderately satisfied. Â The place is very nice. Â The atmosphere is easily that of a first date or an anniversary date. Â The service was top notch and very friendly. Â Now onto the food and drink!
I ordered the beef medallion dinner special, which came with a salad and dessert for around $40. Â Great price, that much is for sure. Â The salad was really nice. Â Fresh spinach with a very flavorful vinaigrette that I just couldn't get enough of. Â It tasted like it was sauteed in mushrooms or something. Â The medallions were good, but overly cooked (I ordered medium rare), and a bit dry. Â I suppose this cut of meat tends to be dry, but it just was a little bit of a let down. Â I tasted my friend's rib eye (medium rare), and it was perfect. Â It melted in my mouth, and was delicious! Â I only wish my medallions were as good. Â The dessert was nice as well. Â I went with a bread pudding. Â As far as bread puddings go, it was tasty, but nothing mind blowing. Â Overall for food, I give this place 4 stars.
Why for the three stars? Â Well, the wine list is pretty extensive. Â Three or four pages on the menu make up the wine list. Â That is great and everything, but the restaurant's website and menu also advertises that it has "craft beer and local beer." Â I was really looking forward to a good IPA with my steak. Â Let me tell you what "craft beer" means to Fleming's because they didn't have any local beer, and the waitress made it sound like they won't in the future. Â They offer Redhook IPA, Boston Lager, Widmer's crappy Hef, and Bluemoon. Â Really? Â This is blatant false advertising as far as I am concerned. Â The owners/managers need to take a trip to Stone Brewery and learn what craft beer is. Â If that is too foreign of a market, take a trip over to Yard House at least! Â Get with the program, Fleming's!
I really, really tried my best to hate on Fleming's. Â See, I'm kind of a food snob, so when I crave a delicious steak, I usually find myself at some independent local joint, not a chain owned by the Outback. Â But when Fleming's sent me an email saying they're offering $25 off any check of $50 or more for the rest of the year, I had to give it a shot.
From the moment I walked in the door, I was treated to really good customer service. Â Well, that's not quite true. Â I arrived at 8:51pm for a 9pm reservation and was told they weren't ready to seat us, yet. Â Seemed a bit odd as they had open tables. Â We grabbed a seat at the bar and perused the menu, and before we could decide if we were going to get a drink first, they came over to seat us. Â From then on, it was great customer service.
I ordered the filet mignon medium rare and my buddy Mario ordered a different cut, don't remember which one. Â Mine was $40 and his was $42, and both were absolutely delicious. Â Neither of us left a bite of steak on our plate. Â I'm going back soon and getting Mario's choice because it had so much flavor. Â Fleming's also offers complimentary sauces for your steak, of which Mario partook in one.
We were also celebrating my birthday, and they brought the hugest piece of chocolate cake I've ever seen for a freebie. Â When the check came, it was just over $60 after tax. Â They took off the $25 pre-tax, so actual savings is more like $27. Â We left a handsome tip and vowed to come back within the next week.
I'm very tempted to come here solo and have a steak and an appetizer for even cheaper!
UPDATE 08/24/12: I finally went for happy hour and tried their $6 burger. Â Amazing. Â Not the best burger I've ever had, but plenty tasty, and HUGE for $6. Â And it came with two delicious onion rings and a fantastic dipping sauce. Â Only ordered a water with it and got no "happy hour attitude" from the staff. Â Love it.
I've been going to this location for years!
Delicious Food, Good Service and nice venue.
The place isn't cheap, but it is what you expect for a steakhouse.
