This place gets one star because of the service expected for these prices and the service and food received. We had a dining credit through an email and a gift card given by flemings from a previous birthday visit. Called ahead to make sure that we could use both together. This was my first visit and my boyfriend's second. Will not be going back!! The waitress spent most at her time at the table next to us and was not very personable at all. I work in a restaurant, so I don't expect her to kiss my feet but at least try to be a little less cold when I am paying 40 for a steak (not including a side). Bad service can ruin the whole meal. Our drinks were often empty, the bread that they serve while the spreads are very good, you need superman strength to cut through the crust on the bottom (with a steak knife). I had the filet and salmon from the two course summer menu. My steak was tasty, but as soon as I got to the thicker part of my salmon, I could tell right away that it was undercooked. Let the waitress know and instead of letting me finish my steak, she took the whole plate and I sat there watching my boyfriend eat his steak. To make up for it the manager offered a free dessert, now who will make up for our server's crappy attitude???? Â When we tried to pay, our server informed us that we could not use two promotions together, and I told her that I called ahead of time. She had to check with the manager, came back to the table for the check and I asked what the manager said "Oh I forgot to ask him, hold on". Really it was a Monday night not busy at all. Manager said he would honor it this one time, I informed our server to tell the hostess about their policies. You are paying a champagne budget and getting Mcdonalds service. If you want better food and service for your money go to The Yard House in Westgate.
Review Source:I've been to this place twice now and the first time was great food was awesome and service was excellent but the second time we went it was one of the worst experiences I've had at a restraunt  the food was great again but the service was horrible our waitress was busy talking to other people and our drinks were empty most of the night and my girlfriends salmon was under cooked and all we got was attitude from our server I think that for the price you pay you should be getting great food and great service every time.
Review Source:We took our daughter out for her 21st birthday and we were all treated like royalty. Everyone greeted her with a 'Happy Birthday' - she received a gift card and box of truffles with a candle. We all felt very special. Now to the meal - OMG - my husband and I ordered the steak - it was cooked beyond perfect. The filet was so tender I didn't need a knife to cut it. Our daughter (a picky eater) had the swordfish - which was the first time she had tried it - and LOVED it. The green beans were wonderful too. For desert - which we hardly ever get - we decided on the chocolate lava cake. There are no words...that cake is AMAZING!!!
Our waitress - Tiffany - was excellent. She even offered me a black cloth napkin - instead of the white - because I was wearing black pants and she didn't want white fuzz on my black pants...talk about paying attention to detail!! We didn't feel rushed at all, she answered our questions about the meal.
We will definately be going back again. Although it is expensive - it was so worth the trip for a birthday dinner.
Working in town and I can always count on a great meal at Fleming's. Â Sat at the bar and received great service. I did the small bites, big pours specials; Cab Sauv with Short Rib & Spinach. Just right! One disappointment, no beer on tap at this Fleming's. I can only dock a half star for that and always round up :) Keep up the great work.
Review Source:We have dinned at the Scottsdale Fleming, it was excellent service and outstanding food. Â I was so dissapointed that this Glendale location does not measure up! Â The decor and atompshere is there but just not the same. Â Looks like it, doesn't feel like it. Â We were greeted immedately and seated as our reserved table for 6 (Saturday night - before Mother's day). Â The wine list was fancy (electronic tablet). Â
Our server was just NOT attentive at ALL and made the experience basically SUCK.
-She never mentioned the specials for the day (the list on laying on the table, someone discovered it later)
-She brought the wrong beverage
-She has to come back to ask was we ordered because she couldn't read her handwriting
-Never was around to grab her attention
Now to the food, two of our group stressed that they needed they meats cooked well done. Â One of the filet mignons was to be butterflied to make sure it is well done and the other sliced filet migon was to be well done. Â Well, the ladies got their filets and they are still oozing blood. Â Come on a butterflied filet migon and a SLICED filet migon not well done? Â Really??? Â Especially on the sliced one, when you slice it and see blood and pink = NOT well done. Â We had to send the 2 plates back. Â The guest of honor had to sit was watch some of start to eat. Â Don't get me wrong, my steak was perfect and tasted great. Â You are a steakhouse, getting steaks cooked to the right temperature is your forte! Â
I am surprised that a Manager was not send out to appoloize or at least talk to the table when we had to send back 2 of the 6 main entrees. Â He came by at the end to do a quick hello and how was everything... Â Well, it sucked but nothing you can do now at this point!
I heard a rumor that the happy hour menu at Fleming's had changed. Â It had been a long time since we had gone, so I thought it was time. Â They have changed a few menu items, but my favorites are still on there. Â We ordered two burgers, which were delectable. Â The patty was so juicy and the bacon was perfectly cooked. Â I had the beef carpaccio like usual. Â It was great! Â We decided to try the pork belly and grits. The pork belly was pretty good, but the grits were just a tad bit dry. Â We got complimentary chips with our meal. Â Free is always nice!
I wish I remembered our servers name. Â I believe she was expecting, or I just insulted her. Â But anyway, she was wonder. Â She was super friendly and attentive.
The Main Man and I are Flemings fans; as in, we go there quite a bit, several times a year in the main dining room and almost monthly in the bar area. We are not at all impressed with the 'upstairs' overflow area... So this review might be tainted...
Our last visit was on October 21 for a big deal dinner. The reservation was made more than a month prior yet when we arrived they tried to seat us in that awful side room that makes one feel as if they are seated at the kids table during the family Thanksgiving meal. MM asked for different seating and despite open tables visible in the dining room, they stated everything was reserved. When we said we would wait for seating in the big people dining room, the hostess was visibly annoyed and went whispering who-knows-what in the co-hostesses ear. A few moments later, after they had their crisis meeting with management, we were seated in the big dining room, among the multitude of open tables that mostly remained open during our 1.5 hour meal.
Now, having been smitten with Flemings for years now, it pains me to say that the quality of service had dropped significantly and the food had taken the same route. Or maybe I have become that much better a cook... When we drop $200+ on a meal, I want the meal, the service, the ambiance, the whole experience to feel extraordinary and this did not. It was just a meal and the desert that they make a big deal about, the chocolate lava cake, is quite disappointing! With a 20 minute prep time and all the buildup, I would think the thing should knock my socks, or other undergarments, off. It didn't... It was tasty and we finished it, but I won't order it again and it isn't something I will find myself craving down the line.
As for the service, it was quite generic and seemed lacking in the refinement we have come to expect from Flemings. The hostesses were borderline rude and unprofessional. The manager, knowing we were displeased with the original seating didn't visit our table until the end of the meal and then only did so sheepishly and quickly. The appetizer and the steaks were fine, not spectacular, but fine.
Of four visits this year, this was the second disappointing visit. After the first one they said it would get better and it did, but not all the way, and not for long... Pull it together!
WOW, talk about an awesome steak.  We had reservations and were seated within minutes.  Nice décor, not really a place I'd take my toddler to but it was date night after all and the kiddo was at home - yippee! Â
But I digress. Â I don't know much about wine but it looked like a pretty large selection and you can go through them either on the menu or on the iPad. Â Way cool. Â
We both got rib eye - the hubby with bone mine without - his rare, mine medium well and he said that his was perfection. Mine was, too. Â
It didn't come with any sides so we shared a side of mashed potatoes.
The only thing I'd dock them a few points for is the food is really expensive. Â I guess I can understand why my rib eye was almost $50 but $10 for a side of mashed potatoes? Â Eeesh. Â You can't go wrong getting a badass piece of juicy mouth watering steak here but I don't think I would come here for a while. Â A $165 meal is probably something we do once every several years. Â See you again in a few more years Flemings. Â It was nice meeting you! Â (It was our first time coming here)
This place is fantastic.
I came expecting an average steakhouse in the Glendale/Peoria area.
The bartender was fantastic and made a tremendous Negroni (not the one on their menu, which isn't actually a negroni at all).
The Caesar salad was very tasty and the small plate sliced filet was the most perfectly balanced and seasoned dish I can remember eating in recent memory. Â There was so much going on in that dish - but everything was balanced and picture perfect.
I can't recommend this place enough.
Cant complain about the prices if you like fine dining. This place is yummy so i expect to pay a good price for an amazing meal. If you dont like what they serve you tell them. they take great care of their customers. My husband and I went there for our Anniversary and they treated us like royalty. We did go to Costco and got the gift cards at a discounted price. Every bit helps. As we were leaving they took our picture then put it in a cute frame and gave us a Anniversary card and A box of truffles. Seriously who does that? Flemming's did. They have a customer for life with my family
Review Source:I can't say enough about the food and service at Fleming's. The wife and I have been here at least 10x never had a bad meal. If you love filet than this is the place for you! Don't forget to tell them if your celebrating a special occasion. We just went for our birthdays and each of us received a box of truffles(amazing) and a $25 gift card for our next visit.
Review Source:My god thats a good restaurant.
Went there yesterday to celebrate my gf bday. We had the sunday spacial. Prime ryb, mash potatoes. Ceasur salad. And laba cake. Dishes are bog. Service is extra ordinare. And food taste divine. You can tell the chef is a stakes expert. Highly recomended!!!!!
Love the prime rib!
Come in for the Sunday Special which is usually around $37(?), includes 12oz prime rib, one side, soup or salad, and dessert! The 16oz cut by itself any other day of the week is like $44 a la carte, so you can see what a deal the Sunday Special is!
Sides are around $8 each.
Nice ambiance, great service, in fact, I like the professional style restaurant service here! You get spoiled and start to expect other restaurants to have service like this too!
Carrot cake was moist and not too sweet. Creamy cream cheese frosting was just perfect!
The Caesar Salad was good, but the anchovy taste was quite prominent. I'll probably order a different salad next time. There are three salads to choose from.
Love the chocolate butter mints at the hostess stand!
The ambiance in this place alone is so romantic and upscale. It's hard not to feel a little sexy when you go here. I've had a filet mignon, asparagus, potatoes, and cheesecake. The steak melts in your mouth the way only perfectly cut and cooked top of the line beef would. Asparagus was tender and flavorful and the potatoes where creamy and fluffy. The cheesecake was just that, cheesecake, nothing spectacular or memorable about it. All in all I love this place, it's the ideal place for celebrations or a special night out.
Review Source:Walked into this place after the place next door was packed and we were starving. Didn't know what Fleming was except that they had food. Well we were in for a surprise. Â This place is a steak house and an expensive one, not the kind of place you just walk over too unless you don't care about spending 200 dollars on one meal. The steak was good. But everything is al carte meaning you have to order a steak and any sides separately. I usually don't like that and this place was not the exception. Maybe it was how we were introduced to this restaurant so I'll have to update when we actually plan to come here as part of a special occasion.
Review Source:Crème de la crème experience!
The 5 for $6 happy hour at the bar is nothing short of fantastic. Â What does 5 for $6 exactly mean? Â As I found out, it means they have 5 options of food or drinks for $6 each. Â Happy hour ends at 7pm.
The drinks and food are superb. Â I tried the burger and brie puff and they were very tasty and filling. Â The service was also exemplary.
I am an instant fan of Fleming's and will be a return customer.
I am a huge Fleming's fan and I found myself a little let down at the West Gate Fleming's. The service is always perfect here. We had a larger group and I think they did an amazing job making sure we were all happy.
The Food: We started with oysters as our appetizer and they weren't too far off from the best I have ever had. Ice cold and flavorful! Shoot away. I usually pass on salad or soup. I get salads elsewhere. This is my carnivorous place. I ordered the filet mignon med rare and it was cooked to perfection. I prefer a nicely peppered, salted steak cooked to perfection. I am not the soaking in butter steak guy. Go to Ruth Chris for that. We ordered the Fleming's potatoes and asparagus as our sides. The potatoes are a legendary staple and the asparagus is always slender and delicious.
The Drink: Here is my one downfall. Almost as important as the steak are my Martinis. Usually you will get the best martinis at steak houses. They shake them a little longer and the bartender usually knows how to properly use vermouth. Well, my first martini was more like a half of a martini. It was also slightly chilled. My second was a full martini, but was so over vermouthed that I almost gagged. Slightly chilled as well. When you pay more for a steakhouse martini, you kind of expect more.
I will always make Fleming's one of my steakhouse go to's. May just have to give a little more direction on the martinis.
Great place to have a steak: but be ready to spend some cash here. Â Want to save a little I know Costco carries the $100 gift card for 79.99! Â Every bit helps when you are in the $30 range for 1 steak! Â No sides just the meat. Â I try and save cash by going here during lunch and enjoy the bar specials. A steak sandwich sometimes curves my steak craving. Â
I would rate this the full 5, but have been here a few times and not impressed with the service for the $$$$.
My boyfriend & I went to Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar last night before the Phoenix Coyotes hockey game. We wanted to take advantage of the '5 for $6 'til 7' menu at the bar, as well as, the Spring Break Celebration dinner.
I can honestly say that we had an absolutely amazing dinner and that we were so happy we chose to go here before the "big game." The food was delicious, our bartender was attentive and personable AND we got a great deal!
The highlight of our night though was the Baked Oysters Rockefeller appetizer. We ordered a half dozen oysters that were cooked to perfection and had the right amount of spinach, bacon & cheese. (I think what made these oysters so great was the creamy spinach used- I think it is the same as the 'Creamy Spinach' side you can order off the menu.) Highly recommend!
We, also, ordered the Spring Break Celebration which was a choice of The Wedge Salad or French Onion Soup. The entree was the FIlet Mignon & North Atlantic Lobster Tail. The side was a choice of either French Green Beans or Fleming's Mashed Potatoes. We got all this food for only $34.95. What a great deal!
I chose The Wedge Salad which was a perfect starter to my meal. The lettuce was crisp and the tomatoes were fresh. The Filet Mignon was an impeccable 'Medium Rare' temperature and the North Atlantic Lobster Tail was generous. Also, I chose the French Green Beans as a side because I am trying to watch my carb intake. The beans were fresh and the mushrooms were a great compliment to the side dish.
Also, as I stated above, we sat up at the bar and I am sure glad we did because Adam, our bartender, was very sweet and took care of us. I never had an empty glass of wine ;)
Overall, my boyfriend & I typically do not like, for lack of a better word, "chain restaurants" but we believe that Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar in Peoria does it right! They have an outstanding FOH & BOH. Keep up the good work!!
Impeccable service, delicious food, and beautiful ambiance. What more could you ask for?
What I enjoyed best was that we brought our kids and were still treated like royalty. My children are perfectly behaved and I've received compliments everywhere I go because my kids are so good you hardly know they are there. That doesn't keep some nicer restaurants from making you feel like lepers. In fact, the reason we went is to celebrate my 11 year old's Honor Roll achievement and from the waiter to even the manager, the staff made a point to come by and congratulate him on his hard work.
The food was wonderful. Although my steak was a little short of medium, the Flemings potatoes always make up for that. And the chocolate lava cake at the end? OMG. But my favorite is the chantilly whipped cream. I could eat a bowl of that all by itself.
So I'm looking forward to going back to this Flemings and I really do appreciate how kind they were to my son on his academic achievement. They didn't have to gush so much, but they were genuine and very sweet.
I can't believe I lived right down the street from this restaurant and never tried it. I feel like a complete fool.
The main dining area is an open spaced area with appropriate dim dinner lighting. Even sitting at a table, I still had the feel of privacy because of the lighting. The people I encountered were extremely friendly and (easily seen) truly proud of their restaurant.
LeAnn, my waitress, was extraordinary.....more on that later
They brought out bread with two types of spread. It was delicious but, since I was dining alone, stopped after sampling each type of spread. Both were delicious.
I started with a gin martini (as usual) and the lump crab cakes. What a treat - mostly crab and light on the fillers....perfect for a light appetizer.
After I was finished the manager, Mike, came out to great me and check on the service so far. Very pleasant and happy to welcome people to the restaurant.
I ordered the bone-in ribeye over the fillet (which I definitely need to try) at the recommendation of the waitress. I paired it with the Kenwood Cab. It was everything promised. My concern was that the steak would be over cooked. Usually, when I order steak out, I need to specify "on the rare side of medium rare" to make sure it is correct. I really shouldn't have worried. What you order is how it is prepared. It was juicy and tender as promised.
I finished with the carrot cake and a cordial. I must note that all the deserts are made in house and not frozen. Again, the dessert was perfect.
Before the dessert came out, I was greeted by Scott, the Operating Partner. He was clearly proud of this location and the chef. He was just checking on the service and ensure I had a good evening.
SUMMARY:
All in all, and those who know me know that this is a VERY RARE SENTENCE for me to commit to writting....but.........I have absolutely nothing bad to say about my experience at the Peoria Fleming's.
The waitress was attentive but not intrusive. The timing of the meal presentation was perfect with a steady flow of food and appropriate breaks in between. One of the problems I find most insulting at restaurants (feeling rushed or getting your next item before finishing the previous) is something no one should ever feel here.
One recommendation for improvement (to make a 5+ rating in my book) would be to have the wait staff remark on the local chef's creations. The "specials not on the menu" are the local chef's creations......maybe say something to remark on the uniqueness of these items not on the menu......"our local chef has prepared a few items you wont find at other Fleming's" or something to that effect....I know, minor, but there is always room for improvement LOL.
I'm going to review first, then decide on stars.
First, the service by Gina was 5 star!
Wine List was 3.5 star but pricing was way too high - give it 3 stars.
Petite filet mignon, medium rare was 5 star!!
Creamed spinach was 3 star, as was the loaded baked potato - neither had much flavor. Â But the caesar salad was worth 4.5.
OK - overall, I'll say 3.5 star. Â Since I can't do that, a 3, because the total experience just wasn't a 4
I've not tried Ruth's Chris in Scottsdale, but my experience with Ruth's in other cities has been better than this
I really enjoy Flemings. Â From the bar area to the dining room, this place is great. Â We started with drinks - I enjoyed a couple Ten and Tonics. Â The service in the bar was prompt and courteous.
For appetizers, we ordered the Flemings Potatoes (starch, cheese, jalapenos) - what could be better? Â We also tried some green bean and asparagus. Â These didn't survive the trip around the table. Â I skipped the salad and concentrated on my fillet and baked potato.
Other than one of the servers spilling my client's steak on the floor, the service was great. Â I'll still give them five stars. Â No sweat. Â He was very apologetic and they turned around another steak very quickly.
Their creme brulee is awesome!!
If Fleming is on your list to try, don't wait. Â Great food and atmosphere.
The first time we ate here it was unmemorable. Â We thought we would never be back. Â I try not to rate any place by a one time visit so we decided to give Flemings another try. We have been here a couple times now.
We both had filet cooked medium and it was great. Â I dont remember what we had for appetizers or the sides...once again unmemorable. Â The Molten Lava cake was awsome and definitely memorable.
I really wouldn't recommend this place to my friends. Â It was good, but just keep forgetting what I had. Â Whenever I eat at Mastro's or Ruth Chris I seem to never have that problem.
My wife had been given a gift card for Flemings. It was our anniversary so we decided it was time to use the card. I knew they were basically a steak house but did not look them up on line to see what they had to offer. All the main dishes are meat. If you want something with your meat you order it separately. This will escalate the cost of the meal by more that $16.00 to $20.00 per person.
I have struggled on how to rate them. The food was excellent. The service was excellent. Cost was... Lets just say very expensive for what you got. We got an appetizer, salad, bowel of soup, ice tea, coffee, split a dessert. Ordered coffee for my wife and expresso for myself with the dessert. The coffee and expresso was delivered 10 min before the dessert. These should of been delivered at same time. If you drink expresso you know it has to be drank on serving. Taste changes as it sets and it needs to be consumed when hot. Cost $100.00 + the tip. If we had gotten a meat dish and a glass of wine the cost would of been $80.00 per person. I don't have any problem paying over $100.00 per person if the food, service, ambiance warrant the cost.
I rated them 3 stars. The food, was good. It just wasn't good enough to warrant 4 or 5 stars.
The server John deserves a 5. He was excellent. Very attentive and helpful. It  was a pleasure having him and his staff of 3 different people that made sure we were taken care of.
Would I go back?? No. There are many good steak houses that serve as good food for much less cost.
While looking for a gift for our tax accountant, we came across a recommendation to try this place out. Â After parousing their website, it turns out they were doing a special Easter Sunday Brunch. Â We decided to book and check the place out.
My friend Stan Reinhold, a world renowned chef here in AZ, let me know this was a great place to go so I was happy to have the reservations as soon as we made them for such a popular holiday.
Our reservations were for 12 noon, just 30 minutes after they started service for brunch. It ran through 3pm and there was not a free table to be had. Â As soon as one was vacated, it was dressed and refilled before you knew it. Â Its very dark and intimate, probably a great place for an anniversary or private moment with friends or loved ones.
All dressed in black, as were his counterparts, was Kevin, our waiter. Â A pony-tailed boy off about 25 who appeared eager to take care of us. We started with a glass of the house Chardonnay and a Mimosa, which was one of their brunch special cocktail.
The full Sunday Dinner Menu was also available for those not looking for the brunch fare but we came for that so giving the regular menu its due, we opted to do brunch as planned.
This was NOT a buffet as are most high end establishments and their brunch offerings. Â It was a set menu, with several choices. Â We both had the same palate so our selections were identical. Â Starting course was a fresh berry plate with a Sour Cream-Vanilla-Honey sauce that was very nice. Â Beautiful fresh fruits and plenty of them. Â
Round two was a Crab Frittata made with Swiss Cheese, Mushrooms and Asparagus. Â It was also served with a crispy Hash Brown, 2 sausage links and a Roasted Tomato half. Â Interesting presentation, a good portion and quite tasty. Â
Dessert offerings were three....New York Cheese Cake, Creme Brulee' and something else that was unmemorable. Â We opted for the Cheese Cake and its additional side of sweetened cream along with a piping hot coffee.
All in all, we were there for the better part of an hour and a half. Â The service was paced so that nothing came out until it was supposed to, which was nice. Â There was a moment or two where it seemed to have gotten so busy we were left unattended to and our waters were in need of refilling for a bit too long. Â (Kevin, you were nice, but your stock is plummeting) Â Also, the tag-line Kevin used repeatedly when checking on us was getting old...."How's that working for you?" Â Time to come up with something new. Â I hate to think my dinner is "working" in any capacity. Â
So, the bottom line is this. Â Go on payday as there is nothing inexpensive about this place. Â Morton's or Ruth's Chris it's not but certainly trying to get there. Plan on spending some time and don't think you will just zip in a zip out, its not that kind of place. Â The food was delicious and you should expect nothing less. Would I go again? Â Absolutely! Â Would I recommend it to a friend? Â Without a second thought.
Oops. This review is pretty late. I came here with my family for New Year's Eve! I was excited to try a steakhouse in the West Valley, in hopes of having a steak option close to home. Unfortunately, I don't feel like I'll be going back. The filets my family had were dry, tough and salty. It probably didn't help that we had dined at Mastro's for Christmas Eve (amazing!) so I think our expectations may have been on the high side. My dad ordered the lobster tail, which was small and also dry and tough. The cheese in the French Onion Soup was not fully melted, and there was A LOT of cheese. For dessert we got Creme Brulee. It was the highlight of the meal for me since I have a huge sweet tooth, but not enough for me to want to go back to Fleming's any time soon. I will say, that though the food was subpar, the service was great.
**If you do decide to go here, check out Costco for discounted $100 gift certificates!
AMAZING steaks. Aged and cooked perfectly. It's not too often we can splurge on meals like this, but we were so glad we did. Our anniversary is coming up in April and we will be going to Fleming's for sure. My husband loves their bleu cheese steak and the filet is fantastic. It's so hard to decide on side dishes, but you can't go wrong with any of them.
I was also very impressed with their service and the ambiance is perfect for a romantic meal.
My wife and I delayed our birthday dinner (ours are just a couple weeks apart) and finally went last night. Â It's been a while since we've been to Fleming's so we were both looking forward to it.
We had reservations and were seated promptly. Â LeAnn was our server and she was awesome. Â She recommended the Eponymous Cab. Â It was pricey at $20 per glass. Â But worth it. Â Nice, well balanced cab.
We started off with the toasted mushroom ravioli. Â Delicious. Â Filled with tender mushrooms with a butter porcini sauce. Â How to get all the sauce? Â How about that mini loaf of sourdough they bring you! Â
We both ordered filet. Â My wife ordered the porcini crusted filet and I had the main filet. Â Both medium. Â We ordered the garlic mash and roasted baby carrots.
The steaks- cooked perfectly. Â The manager came over a couple minutes after we cut them to make sure they were to our satisfaction. Â They were. Â I had a side of peppercorn sauce with mine as well. Â Fantastic.
The sides- the mash was nothing special. Â But those carrots? Â WOW! Â Don't think of grocery store carrots when you think baby carrots. Â Not even close. Â The carrots were roasted with golden raisins and slivered almonds. Â Those could have been the best part of the meal if I wasn't such a steak lover! Â
LeAnn gave us a complimentary box of chocolate truffles as well.
The food was fantastic but the service was above and beyond. Â We will definitely be back!
Flemmings is a fancier steakhouse chain. I would say its somewhere in between The Keg and Carvers. We arrived around 5pm Sunday with no reservations and were promptly seated. They have a huge wine selection and a small wine cellar. There are cherry wood walls from floor to ceiling. The overall look is an elegant steakhouse. I'm not sure if it was because it was Sunday, the proximity of Sun City, the time of day, or that only older folks still have money stashed away but I would have to guess the average age was somewhere around 63 up in there. Not that that has any weight on the review or I'm anti aging but it was just a mere observation.
They brought out some fresh baked rosemary bread and two different kinds of butter right after we sat down. The bread was awesome. Hot and soft inside and a slightly crunchy outside. One butter was whipped and the other was more of a spread. They both were good. I know its just bread but it was very tasty.
Most everything on the menu is ala carte. The steaks ranged from 30-50 bucks, the sides were from 7 and up and salads about the same. There were a couple of prix fixe summer options but neither looked very enticing. However, on Sundays they have a prime rib option. You get to choose a salad, side, prime rib, and a dessert for around 27 dollars. We both decided to go try it out.
My caesar salad came out first. The salad was a good size. The dressing was flavorful. Not overbearing and not non existent either. However, much of the lettuce was yellow/not good. My wife had the same thoughts on hers. The croutons they had in that salad could seriously break some teeth. Our first thought was for as fancy and ballerific this place shoots for they should hit you with a bomb salad from the jump. Without a doubt the salads were the worst part of the entire dinner.
Not long after we received our meals. We were served some nice thick slices of prime rib with three dipping sauces. The prime rib was cooked to perfection. There was a aus jus sauce, a horseradish sauce, and I can not remember the third. I would have liked the horseradish sauce to be stronger and the aus jus to have more flavor but all three were ok. The meat had a good amount of fat on it which is typical for prime rib. It also had a nice char on the edges. I ordered mash potatoes with blue cheese. They basically threw in a huge chunk of blue cheese that was soft and melting in the middle of the potatoes. It was simple and awesome. My wife enjoyed her meal as well. She commented on the fat ratio of the meat and wished she would have ordered it a bit more rare.
For dessert I ordered the lava chocolate cake. The waitress gave me a heads up that it took 20 minutes before we ordered so I could put it in earlier. The dessert looked awesome. There was a fortune cookie type boat filled with vanilla ice cream standing next to a chocolate cake with mint and a raspberry on top with a side of cream. As I cut into the chocolate cake there was an oozing of hot melting dark chocolate pouring out of the side. The flavor of the hot chocolate, mixed with the soft hot chocolate cake, and ice cream all together was mouth watering goodness. It was so large the wife and I shared it and took her cheesecake to go.
The service was also on par. The server kept never let our glasses go empty, the waitress was informative, and the manager came by to ask us how everything was.
I can't comment on the value of anything except for what we had and for a prime rib dinner like that under 30 bucks was definitely a value. I was so full I just wanted to take a nap right there at the table. So if you are looking for a nice Sunday meal and in the mood for some prime rib I would have to recommend giving Flemmings a go.
MMMMMM.... The food is great! My husband and I love this place. The food is great and so is the service. We have eaten in the dinning room and in the bar both places are wonderful! It is more informal in the bar but still very nice. They have a fantastic selection of wine. We like to go to their happy hour. They have great deals on appetizers and drinks. Their burgers are to die for! All kinds of burgers besides ground beef...they have portabella mushroom, crab cake and a prime rib burger! The rolls just melt in your mouth.
The regular menu has a wonderful selection. The steaks are beyond good, and they always have a nice selection of seafood. The side dishes are awesome. We have tried almost all the sides and keep finding new favorites! You have to try the Flemming's potatoes, and the mushrooms, yummy! I got the Sea bass the last time I went and the waiter said it was swimming off the coast of California the day before! It was very good! My husband got the cajun spiced ribeye which was excellent as usual. There is a good prix fix menu too, that changes with the seasons.
Definitely save room for the dessert. They have a great Chocolate lava cake that they serve with ice cream. I take some of my dinner home (they box it up so nice) so I can still eat dessert.
A great place for a nice dinner or a special occasion.
Go on line and make a reservation and sometimes you can get a deal.
Fleming has a special going rite now where if you make your reservations on line you get $25.00 off of a ticket of $150.00 or more and a $25.00 gift card for your next visit.
My wife and I along with her cousin and his wife headed out to Fleming's on Sunday night since Sunday is the only night that they serve prime rib. Â $36.99 get's you a generous cut portion of prime rib, a starter salad, a side, and a dessert. Â A smoking deal considering how things can add up here if you order Ala-cart.
The dinning experience was spread out over about a two hour period starting with some bread and wine. Â The waiter was very knowledgeable about the wine selections (there is an extensive wine list) Â and tentative to our needs. The Riesling that my wife selected (per the waiters recommendation) was perfect for her taste.
The tomato basil spread along with the wiped butter for the bread was very delightful and a great way to start off the meal. Â We all ordered the prime rib and a different side so we could each sample the different side dishes. Â
I started with the wedge salad with blue cheese dressing. Â The lettuce was fresh and crisp and the blue cheese dressing was creamy. Â I really enjoyed it. Â A little while later they brought out our prime rim meals with our side dishes, the prime rib is cut about 1-1/4" thick. Â The prime rib came with three side sauces. Â One was aju, another was creamy horse radish, and the last was a ground mustard sauce. Â The three sauces were ok but I like straight horse radish with my prime rib, so I requested some and the brought it out.
For the sides I got the mac & cheese, my wife got the Fleming mash potatoes, her cousin ordered the grilled asparagus, and his wife got the onion rings. Â WARNING!!!!! Â The side dishes are HUGE..... Â The onion rings were stacked about 12 inches tall, the mac & cheese was a large bowl, the Fleming potatoes could have been a meal on there own and there was enough asparagus to share. Â Every thing tasted great.
The dessert's were great, chocolate lava cake, creme Brulee, and carrot cake. Â All tasted fantastic.
So by now I am sure you are wondering why only 4 stars. Â Well there was a couple small pieces of bone that I bit into on my first bite of the prime rib and I had to spit them out. Â My wife also had the same thing in hers. Â Also as a Prime rib the eye (the center of the prime rib) was though and a little chewy. Â Not what I expect with a prime cut of meat.
When we dined at the Chandler location, we had an utterly excellent experience, and we stoked to hear that they would soon be opening a location at the new Park West center in Peoria.
We checked it out soon after it opened, and of course, it's a clone of their other location. Though the service wasn't quite as stellar, it was still very nice.
Being unemployed, and dining on someone else's ticket, I went cheap this time and got the cheapest entree on the menu -- the beef Flemington. It's basically a beef wellie.
Unfortunately, it arrived woefully overcooked. Our server graciously offered to have a new one made for me. The second one was also overdone, just not as badly. I was hungry, so I didn't say anything. Nonetheless, they took it off of our bill.
However, everything else was perfect. I will chalk up those couple of things as an off-day, or perhaps they hadn't quite ironed out the wrinkles yet. I'll need to check back after they've been open for a year or so.
