I have been to 4 different Fleming's and have come to expect a certain level of service and quality to match the prices and ambiance. Â The Radnor location is not anywhere near the level it should be. Â I went in about 5:15 after work on a Wednesday, by myself. Â I ordered a glass of wine and the full menu to order from. Â My wine glass was dirty, so I asked for a new one. Â The waitress dropped one by as she passed onto the next table.... Not bothering to transfer my wine from glass to glass. Â This second glass wasn't totally clean either and I probably should have sent that one back as well. Â My dinner was luke warm and disappointing. Â I will not go back to this location... There are better restaurants in the area, with much better service and food.
Review Source:Delicious.
It was dark, but I loved that (they seemed prepared). My mom couldn't read the menu. They brought her a small flashlight. That didn't put me off at all.... I felt high class as f@#$!!!
I couldn't stop eating. I ate my swordfish... then the lady I was with couldn't eat her whole steak... ate that... some of my mom's chicken... a sampling of three sides... cake... sorbet... everything.
I didn't delve into the beers and wines (called it a night with a few Coors and an Irish Coffee) but it seemed extensive enough.
Service was primo. Â Refilled my water every two seconds. Â It's good to see service like this still exists... take everyone you know here.... with an extra pair of pants for each of you (sized up)
Fleming's is definitely the go-to for great steak on the Main Line. It seems that whenever a special occasion comes up in my family, we always come here and have never been disappointed. Usually when we come for special occasions (birthdays, mother's day, father's day etc), we're given a small box of chocolate truffles and a gift card to put towards our next visit. Even without the gift card to motivate us, we'd still be going back!
The service is excellent, and the list of wines and cocktails is extensive. Even though I enjoy wine very much, I always go for a cocktail because of how delicious they are here!
For my main course, I pretty much always stick to the petite filet, and the quality of my orders has always been consistent. The steaks at Flemings melt in your mouth. All the vegetable sides I've had are delicious. I usually end up choosing the mashed potatoes or the creamed spinach. I'm sure all their desserts are delicious too, but I can never stop myself from ordering the creme brulee over and over again!
If you don't feel like spending a lot of money on a big dinner, I would suggest going to happy hour. You can sit at the tables near the bar and order appetizers (the calamari is my favorite) or the bar burger, which is also delicious. Drink specials are usually on, and if you sit at the bar, they provide homemade chips. Happy hour is also a great time to sample a wine flight, since the restaurant isn't too busy yet and the bar staff has more time to discuss the wines with you.
I've been here 3 times. It's OK. Food is good, although the steaks are not even close to the Palm, Capital Grille or Morton's, yet they have similar price points. Bar is a pretty good scene, and I the drinks are excellent. Very good Martini's.
If you are looking for a GREAT steak, and you are going to spend over $40 for that steak, go to the other places listed. You'll be happier.
Excellent, terrific service, large, sumptuous drinks, attentive wait staff, fantastic steaks, really tasty sides, festive atmosphere, wish the salad my wife and I shared was larger, but considered in light of the porterhouse, Â it was just right. Don't hesitate...make a reservation and indulge.
Review Source:The $49.50 Ribeye Bone-In was awful. It was thinner than most you get at the Supermarket and so hard to eat,my jaws still hurt three days later. If I ever went back I would have the free bread and butter (very good) and the onion rings. The Caesar Salad which "was large enough for two" would have been hardly enough for one.
A total waste of money!
We got there expecting a 5 star experience with the valet to and staff greeting us at the door. Â However, when we got in there the steak was good but not the best, and the mashed potatoes over powered the steak. Â The worst part was my boss was served the wrong steak; and they left me with my food while he sat watching me eat my steak. Â When we go the check they didn't even offer a discount for the mistake.
The wine was good; best I have had in a while; but this was outweighed by the lack in quality of the steak. Â Ruth's is far better for a similar price. Â So much for my job well done dinner...
Have been to a few different Fleming's locations and it is a top notch steakhouse. Â Went to this one for a birthday celebration this weekend and was impressed by the service and food. Â The restaurant is dimly light with a comfortable decor. Â The bar is crowded and busy and the restaurant was packed. Â They have valet service which was very convenient as there was a downpour as we arrived. Â We started with a bunch of wedge salads which were fine. Â The steaks were the attraction. Â We ordered 2 medium cooked 16 oz. New York Strips, a petit Fillet Mignon and the standard size fillet. Â Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their steaks. Â Dessert was a delicious chocolate lava cake which was shared. Â This is a great restaurant for a special occasion.
Review Source:Fleming's is located in an office building that houses the headquarters of Lincoln Financial (I think....). Â It's also situated right next to the suburban edition of Susanna Foo's. Â It has a nice, stately (lots of wood panels) decor typical of most high-end steak houses (such as Morton's and the Capital Grille). Â Its menu of steaks and a la carte side dishes are also similar to other restaurants in its class. Â The steak is, of course, always satisfying, and the service is excellent. Â But, so are the other restaurants. Â In fact, I have to confess that my favorite steak house is Stephen Starr's Barclay Prime, but the edge that this restaurant has over all others is its proximity to my house, SO I tend to frequent here more often than other similar restaurants, including the Sullivan's and Ruth Chris in King of Prussia, and the Palm (and aforementioned Barclay Prime) in Center City. Â Now, to dig into my medium-rare prime rib eye (the best tasting steak cut, IMHO)...
Review Source:Mother's day was a great experience. The restaurant was packed for Mother's day but the waitress and Manager did great jobs with getting the food to us and offering us plenty of reason to come back. They were down a chef (chef went home because of an accident) and still made magic happen. Everyone was pleased. I will return soon
Review Source:What a complete disappointment!!!! Just ate there Thursday May 24th and all I can  say is it was one of the more mediocre steaks I have had. Went with a lady friend, she had a Petite filet and I had the bone-in Ribeye. She very much enjoyed her Filet but I have to say my piece of Shoe Leather masquerading as a Ribeye was just awful. For $49 I don't expect to get an ultra tough, grisly steak. It was the kind steak would expect to get from Sizzler or Longhorn. So disappointing!!!! Otherwise, service was good and attentive, the sides weren't bad and the chocolate lava cake was amazingly good.
Overall Flemings is a nice place, atypical of most high end steakhouses though when we were first seated it was so loud I could barely hear my lady friend speak.
To be honest The Capital Grille, Sullivans, Ruths Chris and even Mortons are light years ahead of Flemings. I'd go to any of those before I ever go back to Flemings.
Awesome, awesome place! Service was great, food was great and it was the perfect place for my brithday dinner! The server gave a great reccomendation on a pairing of wine to go with my filet oscar. Â It was a delicious cab that I will never forget.
I felt bad because it was a little $$, but hey, you pay for what you get! My fiancee loved his steak as well. I got the lobster bisque to start and it was great! Oh yes! The manager also came over said happy birthday and gave us a complimentary dessert and a box of chochlates or truffles it was. SUCH A NICE TOUCH! Â Loved the experience and definitely will go back!
Flemings is a nice place. Â Its not the first place I would think of for a steak dinner - but everything went really well with the service and the food was great. Â I am glad we went! Â We ordered the calamari for appetizer, and it was good. Â Next time we are going to get the seafood tower. Â We had steak and crab legs for dinner with sides of the flemings potatoes, and sauteed spinach. Â All were very good. Â
One thing that I thought was different is that you can order 'small plates'. Â The only thing that deterred us from going that route was that the prices were around 18-25 for the small plates and we weren't sure how small they were compared to the other menu items. Â The descriptions of the small plates were hard to resist!
Funny story- so my mom, my son and I go to Flemings last night knowing we don't have any money to spend. We arrive after getting lost (it's kind of down a hill near a huge office complex after 476 so you could miss it) to a lovely dim-lit atmosphere. We are greeted by very friendly hostess and a host who was maybe a manager. It was pretty crowded and lively for 7pm on a Friday.
So they had valet parking which we thought was fancy, and we were seated right away because we had a reservation. So we're reviewing the menu and laughing at the prices because it is EXPENSIVE. which usually is no big issue but we were only going because we had a coupon for $50. a meal is about $50 and there were 3 of us, so we just ordered small plates.
The small bit of filet mignon I ate made me so mad I didnt bring my Visa! It practically melted in my mouth. The risotto was good and hot sauce was a nice touch because I like spicy. The scallops and crab cake were also very tasty, not the best I've ever had but good nonetheless. Our waiter was very friendly and got everything right the first time. He especially catered to my son who just wanted a cheeseburger.
So, I will absolutely be back to partake in a nice big juicy steak when I have more funds available. My mom and I joked the entire way home about how we were still hungry for more! Also I noticed that no sides automatically come with the steak so be sure to keep that in mind when ordering.
I am not surprised by Tom's comment because every staff person there when I went was VERY friendly and personable. We'll be back. :)
After my previous review I was contacted by Fleming's requesting more information as to how I based review. As in my review I explained that while the meal was fine, I had experienced better, which is pretty much Yelp's description for a 2 star rating. Fleming's response to this was to offer me a gift card to use towards a return visit, to give them a chance to meet my, and their, expectations. Considering how few businesses actually put customer relations ahead of the almighty dollar I was pleasantly surprised by this.
So gift card in tow, myself and 2 friends headed to Flemings for dinner on Saturday night, prior to watching ND vs Nova at the Wells Fargo Center. One of my dining companions had been with me on the previous trip as well.
We had an early reservation and as soon as we had all arrived were quickly seated.
Being me, I went with my standard Steakhouse order, started off with a Wedge Salad loaded in Bleu Cheese followed by a NY Strip. For sides we went with Mashed Potatoes and the Fleming's Signature Potatoes.
The salad was very good and the waitress was nice enough to my request for extra bleu cheese by bringing me a gravy boat full of extra dressing. My wife would've been pissed, but she wasn't there, so we definitely off on the right foot.
When my steak came out it was absolutely excellent. The meat was incredibly tender, had been lightly seasoned and cooked perfectly. It absolutely blew my previous Fleming's steak away.
The potatoes were both also very good. I'll give the edge to the mashed potatoes, they were so buttery and smooth. They were definitely better for my taste buds than they were for my heart ... but if it was going to kill me, that would be the way to go.
Discussing with my dining companion from the previous trip we were both in agreement this meal was far superior.
This trip to Fleming's was a 5 star experience, so averaging that with my previous 2 star one Fleming's is at a 3.5. I'm rounding up for the high quality customer service and I can guarantee I'll be back in the future.
Our first time to Fleming's. Very solicitous service. Extensive winelist.
Prices are very high but the experience and quality are also high. Â
The salad starters were delicious. Vegetable side dishes were small portions for the price and everything is prepared with lots of butter/oil and pepper.
The prime rib was tender as butter.
Desserts were unremarkable-- cheesecake lacked flavor and the turtle pie was somewhat ordinary.
Overall go there for great steak and service.
I think I completely repressed the memories of coming here several months ago, it was that pathetic. Â
Carpaccio was still frozen when it found its way to our table. Â
My porcini rubbed filet mignon was ok. Â I'd put it in the middle of the steakhouse pack. Â
Wife's scallops arrived. Â We stared at them. Â This must be some kind of mix up. Â 5 tiny mediocre scallops. Â So forlorn, both wife and scallops. Â She debated ordering an entire extra entree, but decided not to waste more money here. Â
"Remember that time we ate at Fleming's..." is now an extremely easy way for me to get a rise out of her.
We have been to many Fleming's around the country including a number of return trips to the one in Radnor many times. Â The food is extremely well done with the prime aged steak consistently delivered at the right degree of done. Â Sides are also excellent with special kudos for the Fleming's potatoes.
The wine list provides a large number of wines by the glass spanning a large number of global sources and styles over a wide price range.
Service has always been superlative with a special thanks to manager Zahra Moore who always takes a moment to stop by and thank you for coming.
For your birthday, the complementary chocolate dessert is to die for. Â All other desserts are also exceptional.
We love it here and will return soon
This is the place you go to when you want a very good steak in an elegant but comfortable setting. We went on a busy Saturday night, four very big steak-loving people. Â The setting is quite lovely, and while the tables are close together the noise is manageable. Â
Our steak styles ranged from Pittsburgh rare to well-done-no-pink. Â They nailed the rare and mediums, the well done was a smidge dry but admittedly, that's tough to do. Â The service was attentive and with the help of expediters, prompt. Â A salad intended to be split thoughtfully came out plated for two. Â
The only miss was the drink order, where one diner ordered a marguerita straight up and ended up with a martini glass with nothing but tequila in it. Â The drink was replaced with minimum fuss and not charged for.
Sides were decent, desserts were typical and good. Â It's good steak for Philly, which is to say it's not as good as you'd get in other areas (Kansas City...mmmmm.....). Â
They have complimentary valet parking too which is really nice.
Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar is just that. Â A white tablecloth, high end, professionally managed, mucho dinero culinary event that while very good, doesn't quite reach the lofty heights of some of Philly's better steakhouses but nonetheless offers the best steak on the Main Line.
The large, nicely appointed dining room provides enough space to still hold a quite conversation. Â The place is invariably packed on the weekends and often during the week, so reservations during primetime are a good idea.
All of the food is delicious. Â Appetizers include the sweet chili calamari, seared ahi tuna, and jumbo lump crabcakes. Â They get the ceasar salad right with fresh parmesan and croutons baked with whole grain mustard.
The steaks are solid, and that's why you came. Â The bone-in ribeye will stick to your ribs, and the filet can be prepared a couple different ways to suite your palat. Â The steaks are well-prepared, thick, and juicy. Â Not the best steak out there, but good, consistent, and cooked to order.
Flemings has a top notch wine list. Â There is a bewildering variety of wines to choose from, and many of these are available by the glass. Â Desserts are worth the calories...the chocolate lava cake, available everywhere these days, is right at the top.
Flemings sometimes has special events. Â We attended a private invitation only prix fixe dinner with wines coordinated to the menu items, all introduced and explained by the sommelier...a memorable evening.
So, loosen your belt, open your wallet, and prepare to dine fine on the Main Line.
Fleming's is our favorite restaurant in the Philadelphia area (both in the city and suburbs). We go here at least two to three times per year. It is also our favorite steakhouse over Sullivan's, Morton's, Ruth Chris and Del Frisco's.The food and service at Fleming's is what makes it stand out. The bone-in-filet is my husband's favorite and I love the surf and turf. The sides are all tasty however our favorite is the Chipotle Mac and Cheese. Each time we go to Fleming's I feel so pampered and cared for which makes every visit special.
Review Source:We had a fairly large corporate event here, everyone chose from salmon, chicken or steak. Â I had the steak, it was a little overdone, but quite tasty, with the right amount of salt. Â Sides included potatoes au gratin, which had a nice crusty cheese top, creamed spinach, and a wedge salad. Â All classics and all well executed.
Everyone was pleased, the service was efficient and the wine flowed freely. Â All in all a great time!
This review is more about the drinks and few appetizers we had at the bar. I have had dinner a few times and was not overly impressed with the price to quality ratio, but the happy hour seems like a good deal.
After a late lunch, we decided to stop by the bar around 5:30pm for a few drinks and some light fare. Luckily, they have happy hour every day until 6pm (or is it 7pm?), where items are between $5-$6.
We ordered couple glasses or wine along with tenderloin carpaccio, which came with aoili and come capers and greens, for the surprisingly low price of $6 !! The bread which accompanied the carpaccio was limp and soggy, so we substituted it with the house made potato chips served at the bar, which lent the necessary crunch.
We also ordered the shrimp cocktail (4 shrimp for $6) which were lightly grilled and split a Flemings premium burger with thick bacon and your choice of cheese, in our case Gruyere.
Our check with 2 wines came to $32 + tip - amazing !
So if you have not been to Flemings and wish to try it out, go during happy hour and eat at the bar.
Steak houses are not my favorite type of restaurant - so I knocked this down one star just because of that. Â I think they are all very overpriced and, really, you can make a better steak at home fairly easily. Â
Flemmings was certainly better than Mortons or Ruth Chris. Â The portions were larger and just a tad less expensive. Â Very typical wine list - watch the prices because they are very inflated for ordinary, brand name wines.
The room was very nice and comfortable - I didn't think the noise level was high. Â Our server was very good. Â She decanted our wine for us and paced the service very well.
I had a salad, the calamari appetizer and the tempura lobster appetizer. Â They were all very good and a lot of food. Â Others had steak and prime rib and enjoyed their meals. Â
We had some gift certificates which made the total tab "reasonable." Â I don't think I would spend that kind of $$$ at any steakhouse. Â However, I would try Flemmings again. Â If you like steak - I think this is the best choice in the vicinity.
O..M...G... Best filet I ever put in my mouth!!! Went last night for my birthday and everything was beyond wonderful. They really know how to celebrate a special occasion and make you feel special. From the minute we walked in the door I was greated and wished a happy birthday. Our waitor greeted us and offered a complimentary half bottle of champagne to toast my birthday. Yum! Everyone was beyond delish- From the bread with unique spreads, the Lump crab louie lettuce wraps were the perfect starter as well as the french onion soup which was to die for.  For entree, I got the petite filet  oscar- I seriously had dreams about this last night- every bite melted in my mouth- it was cooked to my medium rare perfection. My date's porterhouse was just as amazing.  The perfect ending to the night was the molten chocolate cake! We couldn't help but devour the thing, it was that good.
If you're looking to celebrate a special occasion, don't mind splurging a little and love a good steak and glass of wine, Â you'd be crazy not to go to Flemmings. It's worth every penny!
OMG. The rosemary baguette served w/ champagne brie and sundried tomato spreads was simply divine! The decor inside is beautiful (My mom had told me Ruth's Chris Steak House had a really disappointing interior...). There was a glass case behind us of over 100 award-winning wines. Splendid! To start off with, I had the sweet chile calamari...which let me say is definitely better than Pod's. (And very rarely will I say anything is better than Pod's). I had the tuna mignon with a side of their famous potatoes. I know it's a steak house but I'm not a big fan of steak. Ha ha ha... so this was my first experience at a steakhouse. My parents both ordered steak and liked it...I was sort of disappointed to see that it did not come with any sides. Dessert was their chocolate lava cake that I still fantasize about. Let them know if you want to get this...which I highly recommend...because you have to order it a bit in advance! They threw in a candle and we sung Happy Birthday to my dad! They also gave us a box of truffles as a gift. (And they also greeted him with a Happy Birthday when he walked in. Boy was he surprised!)
All in all...Fleming's is a pricier steakhouse so be prepared for that. But definitely a must-try for you carnivores.
Fleming's at Radnor is real-life proof that just because it's owned by Outback, it doesn't mean it serves Outback-style steaks. Â For its reasonably priced and properly prepared USDA prime, you will not be disappointed. Â For those looking for a great steak but prefer to eat the recommended "deck-of-cards" portion, Fleming's has a petite filet that should be just what you're looking for. Â (Tip: check out their website for specials -- for example, reservations for some special occasions can result in a $25 Fleming's gift card towards your next meal.)

After seeing a Broadway show that was on tour in town and forgetting it was restaurant week in Philadelphia and being the procrastinator that I am, I had not made reservations for dinner. Recently reading a back issue of Philadelphia Magazine's "Best Steak Houses", I remembered that Fleming's had earned four out of five cows and was voted in the top, so I thought we could snag a table there seeing it was off the mainline and I was right.
It was pouring down rain and the Schuylkill was a parking lot for most of the ride. I kept calling and saying please hold our table for six, we are on our way. Located right next to Susanna Foo Gourmet Kitchen on the lower level of the Radnor financial building, there is a huge parking lot on the side, but valet parking is free.
Walking in greets you with a large reception area and several hostesses who are ready and waiting to greet and seat you. Down the few black marble steps we go onto thick lush reds and yellows cushioning your feet as you take in all the mahogany wood and the details to lighting and beautifully dressed tables. The immaculate and open chrome kitchen catches your eye with busy chefs and a turn of the head displays the lavish semi opened bar and lounge.
The bar and lounge offers 5 choices for $6. each until 7:00 deals, seven nights and has a prime selection of five cocktails, five wines by the glass, five appetizers and five burgers, including ground beef, ahi tuna, sliced filet, crab cake or a portobello burger.
Let's go back to my table in the dining room, which is surrounded by private party dining rooms. Renee our server was always smiling and she never missed a beat, I give her five stars! The restaurant was fairly well empty when we arrived a little after 5:00 but by the time we left at a little after 8:00 the place was filled to the brim. Yes you heard me right, three hours with a ten and fifteen year old and a grumpy husband is a bit much.
I am the only one who had alcohol, being the lush that I am, because the other two adults were heading home and hubby does not drink. I had a Newman's Own ( as in Paul) Chardonnay 2006 which was outstanding and a Louis Latour, ten dollars each per glass! Everyone else had limitless cokes, which she never allowed to go empty.
They have numerous back and front servers here and it is a show to behold as the back waiters do not use trays no matter how large your party is and line their arms all the way up to their shoulders with folded white napkins and hot plates sitting on top of each napkin. Ten year old Korbin was more thrilled with watching this than he was Wicked and when they finally came to us they stood right behind him and he was in awe as I said, do not move, do not breath!
Hubby and Ben got the Sunday only Prime Rib special for $29.95, your choice of the wedge, Fleming's salad or a Caesar, 12oz. Prime rib with three sauces on the side, au jus, sour cream & horseradish and a steak sauce, any one side and a dessert. A superb bargain, even though hubby said the roast was mediocre. They each had the wedge and one had baked potato, the other had a huge portion of awesome garlic sauteed whole baby mushrooms.
I ordered two apps for the table to share, Wicked Cajun BBQ shrimp and the jumbo lump crab cakes. The shrimp was good, Shula's is so much better, even though I do not like Shula's steak house, the crab cakes were not anything wonderful and do not compare with Ruth's Chris or many others that I have had. Ashley, the 15 year old, got a mozzarella and tomato salad with balsamic and was eager to share when she saw the portion. Michelle had the wedge as well, they do not put bacon on it. and it looked very basic.
They have no child's menu and the mac & cheese has jalapenos in it, so Korbin got a burger with double cut house made shoestring fries. Michelle and Ashley ordered the petite filet, I ordered the filet. Now mind you they have three filets, a smaller portion, a petite portion and a filet. Their $32.00 petite filets were a joke, a total waste of money and my eyes bugged out of my head! One had two deep cuts in it and it was explained it was a crown cut? Those steaks were maybe 4 bites of meat! Mine was twice as large for $3.00 more and I felt sinful. The bearnaise was runny and bland.
Skip the shoestring fries, no where near boardwalk fries, Fleming's house potatoes rock, sliced thick with layers of onions and jalapenos and topped with cheddar cheese.
Do finish your meal with espresso and a lemon twist and the chocolate lava cake! Just do it.
OSI owned and a chain which owns Carrabba's ( like) , the Bonefish Grill ( love), Outback ( hate) and Roy's ( anxious to try).
Flavor and juicyness of filet, just okay, men carrying hot plates up their arm and Renee priceless. Grand total $286.97 + 20% gratuity!
Would I go back to Fleming's? Â Maybe.
Overall excellent. Â We had one of the best waiters I've had in some time. Â Francesco was there when we needed him. Â He was otherwise not there when we wanted to be by ourselves. Â That's the trademark of a great waiter. Â Then the food. Â The lobster brie bread spread over baguette was decadent and superb. Â I wanted a bit healthier faire on the bread so I asked for olive oil and garlic. Â I got roasted garlic and extra virgin olive oil and pure Balsamic vinegar so I could concoct my own bread dip. Â
When it came time to order, the waiter recommended that one Fleming salad could suffice both of us. Â He was right on the money. Â My BF ordered the Filet Mignon and I ordered the Tuna Sirloin. Â Both were exquisitely cooked to perfection. Â The ahi quality tuna was seared but gorgeously red inside. Â We accompanied the dinner with a young Cabernet, which paired both the steak and the tuna. Â
The ambiance was indeed superb, although a bit noisy. Â But the elegance and superb food definitely left a good taste in my mouth, pun intended.
The food and service were certainly decent, which one would expect at such an establishment . . . particularly for the prices. Â The killer was the noise. Â The place was so loud that our group had to yell to one another to communicate. Â Admittedly, we were contributing to the very problem complained of but little choice. Â There are so many great steak houses in the area that it's easy enough to write this place off, which is a shame.
Since I was asked, I'll repeat what I said at the top. Â The food was decent. . . it was good and tasty and everything that one should expect from a quality steakhouse. Â All the same, the noise trumped the food.
Good wine? Â Check.
Good food? Â Check.
Friendly staff? Â Check.
Great ambience? Â Check.
Excellent service? Â Check.
If you're looking for a great steakhouse, Fleming's is the place to go.
Bonus: Â Complimentary valet parking, and delicious little after-dinner mints at the front door.
This is one of my favorite places to enjoy PRIME steak in the entire philadelphia area. Â I have been to Morton's, Ruths Chris, Capital Grille, and Sullivans. Â However this place i rank right up there with Capital Grille as my two favorites. Â This place is downright amazing with excellent cuts of beef and a wine bar to die for. Â My personal favorite with dinner is the Louis Latour Pinot Noir (decent price) with a nice filet. Â
The appetizers are great, and I would highly recommend the bone-in Filet. Â And the desserts are also great.
OK. I'm bumping these guys up to 5 stars. Went there on Friday night. Called @ 6:30 and got a reservation for 7:15. Got there and we were promptly seated. Server was there quickly and took our drink order. Bam, drinks are there about a minute later. Nice and strong too :) Â Then, he broke down the list of specials and we got to placing our order. We both went with the Filet, I got a salad and Flemings potatoes to share.
The salad came out quick. And it was delicious. Crisp lettuce, sweet candied walnuts and yummy dried cranberrys with some sort of citrus dressing. It was really, really good. So good that the better half (who passed on the salad) ate a good bit of it. She couldn't help herself. Then the steaks came. Cooked to perfection. I got mine Oscar style, that is topped with lump crabmeat which were nice big chunks, with a bernaise sauce. She had a side of madero (sp?) sauce with hers and it was also delish. The Flemings potatos are off the hook. I love em'. Simple dish really, but sometimes those are the best ones. Just potatos, cheese, and some jalapeno peppers sprinkled in then baked in the oven. Yummy dummy. We finished them off, and waited for dessert. I excused myself to the bathroom (1 vodka tonic and 2 iced teas will do that to ya). Now, my birthday was last week. I didn't mention it to anyone. When I got back, our server came over with a hot fudge sundae (my fav) with a candle in it. What a great surprise. Not sure how the figured that part out, the better half denies any involement, but hey I'm not complaining. That, and we had already ordered a chocolate lava cake for dessert. Â When you go, you absolutely have to order the lava cake. It is sooooo flipping good.
I also have to point out that our server, Andre, was excellent. He was very personable and quick on the draw with service. He definitely made it a great great night for the two of us. It's amazing how just a little common courtesy coupled with a great personality can make all the difference. Could not ask for anything more out of the evening.
The bar at Fleming's is a classy place to relax after work. There isn't much a of a "bar scene," unless you're a Villanova student looking for a sugar daddy with a Centurion Card. However, the bar has several nooks where you can retire in peace with a chill Grey Goose and tonic.
In addition to the food from the restaurant, the bar snacks include the delicious Atkins-friendly Portobello Steak Frites (Which are neither steaks nor frites. Discuss!)
It's quiet and probably has the nicest bar staff on the Main Line. If you work in the area, then this is one of the best places to unwind.
I have dined at Fleming's twice since it opened about a year ago.
The experiences both times were not the best. The food is overpriced and fair at best. I had to send a steak dinner back twice, once for being overcooked and when it was replaced the filet was tough and fatty. This was on my first trip. The second time I visited I was with a larger group and we felt like we were being rushed through the meal. Â
It is obvious the kitchen needs some help. The one good thing about it is the bar - the wine selection by the glass is great. The bar is beautiful and has a great selection. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant is exquisite so my suggestion would be to go there for drinks and appetizers in the bar area. Â If you have the option to pick a steakhouse, definitely try Sullivan's instead.
