    The food presentation and the flavor were excellent Most of the dishes are done on the wood fired grill. We were a group of four and had the focaccia, burrata and grilled octopus for appetizers and everything was excellent. They gave us the blistered bean salad on the house it is highly recommended for mains we had a pizza, pasta, red snapper and the NY Strip. The steak was amazing. The fish was a bit on the dry side.

    We had an amazing birthday experience - the food, the hospitality, the service, the thoughtfulness : excellent and very deserving of 5 stars. Our server (Manny) was excellent in his communication, service and demeanor. We are thrilled to see that Flemings has brought back its softer bread recipe. In 2021 there was a change in their bread and spread options from the pre-covid times (those were amazing since they had a sweet spread option and a savory, paired with very soft bread warm bread). The dishes were excellent. Every step, from the table confetti to the chocolate for the birthday person was noted and appreciated. The photo print memory, such a wonderful touch. We will make Fleming’s our primary destination for special occasions because you do truly make it special with your flawless execution and details.
