Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar

Let me start by saying, “WOW!”. My wife and I don’t usually go to upscale restaurants mainly because we have 3 kids. But this is definitely a place to check out! While mentioning kids, for those of you with little little kids, this is not a place for them. This is not a place where your kid can be loud and it be ok. The setting is much more professional and there isn’t a kids menu. We brought our 3 month old and the staff was very nice to store our stroller in the front closet, was very accommodating to my wife when she had to feed the baby, but the restaurant itself isn’t set up for it. There is no changing table in the bathroom, beware!

First of all, it’s a fancy restaurant, you are going to pay $$$ for it. This is NOT a cheap fast food restaurant, nor is it FAST. Both of which I was totally ok with and will explain below. Our reservation was for 6:15 PM on a Monday and by the pictures you can see there weren’t many people here while we were eating. By the time we were leaving, which was around 7:45 PM, the restaurant had quite a few more guests.

The restaurant was meticulous. Everything was organized and clean. The waitstaff worked together and were efficient. They even carried around this neat little metal scooper thing and as we got crumbs on the table, as they were clearing away some plates, would scoop up the crumbs instead of wiping them to the floor. I made a note to look specifically at the floor and it was spotless.

The food! 🤤

Complimentary Bread: Hot and delicious. There were three different types of bread that came out in the basket that was hot and it came with a side of butter. I liked the darker bread (forgive me but I forgot what kind it was) and asked for seconds which they politely obliged.

Salad: from the picture you can see what looks to be a pretty small Caesar salad... this is not the case as we had them split it so my wife and I could share. The salad was light, the lettuce was crisp, and after finishing it was very satisfied. It was the right amount of food with the right amount of flavor, spot on.

Onion rings: I have never, in all my travels, had a more perfect onion ring. No joke. The onion was exactly like you would expect it. Not plumb and super juicy and not dried out, it was right in the middle. The breading on the outside was crunchy and was flavorful without being overly greasy and there was no sogginess to it. It is served with what I believe to be a chipotle sauce on the side (forgive me again I don’t remember what it was exactly). It had a fantastic flavor but was quite spicy. I happen to love spice so it was right up my alley, but my wife wasn’t as big of a fan... she doesn’t do spice at all. The sauce and the onion rings flowed flawlessly together for me.

Steak: Sexy freaking Ribeye Tomahawk Steak. Wow. I was a little nervous getting this steak because it is priced at $89 for a 35 oz steak. Let me calm your fears! Share this steak. It is huge. Not over the top huge, but after having bread, salad, onion rings, lemonade this steak was so big that both my wife and I only ate about half of it. I could have purchased the steak only and just ate meat the entire dinner. It was decadent. The steak is cut using a butter knife (almost). I know this is a raving review but I haven’t ever had a better steak. I grill at home and having eaten the tomahawk am now embarrassed by my steaks. The crust was crispy and seasoned to perfection, there was no gristle to be had and cut super easy. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I got the steak cooked to medium and from the pictures was quite pink. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Desert: we split a creme brûlée. This was rich and creamy with a crunchy caramelized sugar crust topped with fruit and served with a side of the house whip topping. Delightful. Again, made with perfection.

Overall, this was truly a 5 star experience. The waitstaff were very friendly and accommodating, the restaurant meticulous, and the food top notch! If you are willing to spend a little, you have to come here, it won’t disappoint.
