    So friendly and helpful waitresses and great food. They accommodated my small dog’s presence and made me very comfortable having her with me despite other restaurants in California these day!!! I really appreciated that and enjoyed my food, beautiful patio ambiance and nice atmosphere with my friends. We had a 2 years old child with us too, gave him a paper snd crayon to draw/get busy, brought his pizza quick and everything was great. Amazing wine options to drink and buy! We bought 2 bottles of an amazing 2020 red wine from their collection at the end. I will be definitely back with MY DOG and friends! The steak was delicious and great quality. Thank you CUCINA enoteca :)

    We chose to celebrate the last day of seven weeks of radiation for my husband at Fleming steakhouse little did we know what an exceptional experience we would have. Our server was absolutely outstanding and took excellent care of us. We chose to sit in the bar which we enjoyed. We ordered the tomahawk steak our first time having one, and I must say it was absolutely outstanding. When the manager learned that we were celebrating my husband’s last day of radiation, he very kindly came to our table and visited, and then let us know that his dinner would be complementary. Everything could not have been more perfect. We felt like we were visiting in a friends home. We have always loved Flemings, but last night was exceptional. Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

    Had their famous maple bacon doughnut, it’s delicious. I ordered the maple pecan crusted salmon and it’s tender. I love their truffle fries. The ambiance is great for family and date night. Our server is attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu.
