Flemings is very nice. It is very expensive. You are getting an upscale steak experience there.
They serve fancy bread with spreadable cheeses, which is good. They are corporate so they don't have a ton of local beer choices, but they had plenty of beers in bottles. I had a Sierra Nevada but it cost 7.25$. The Steaks are all a la carte and I got the 12 oz Filet for 49$. There are no lower cost options, or volume options, The salad was very good but was an additional 12$, and I had part of a side that was green beans, onions and bacon for another 12$. It was also good.
The steak was well cooked and a great piece of meat. It was as good or better than the meat I got at Tornado, or Smokeys, or the Wonder bar. It was also very expensive. They gave us a bunch of sauces that were pretty plain. The meat stood on it's own though. The staff was very attentive. They were trained to be attentive to rich assholes, which is fine, but I felt a bit odd there. There was quite a bit of upselling, from wine to salads, to dessert,
The price of this place is high, and they deliver a level of service that is geared toward that clientele. At one point Dirk asked where the bathroom was and was walked to it. Why, because they are required to walk you to the bathroom. The product itself is very good. Meat, bread, salad, is all great, but this place still leaves something to be desired. All in all it was a positive experience, but there was just something off. I give it a C-.
