Fleming's Steakhouse - Birmingham MIVery Good with CommentWith the exception of my wife's prime rib that was served way too pink, the food was Very Good. Its was Mothers Day and busy, but we had to wait TOO LONG for drink replenishment's.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMAll our guests enjoyed theAll our guests enjoyed the evening and the food. They kept talking about it for other friends. They are leaving to Mexico today with thank you remark.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a great experience.We had a great experience. Our server was knowledgable and helpful with wine and food choices. The food was delicious. We loved the tuna appetizer, the wedge salad, the salmon and the pork belly.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMFor any special occasion,For any special occasion, this is one of our best places to dine!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMSlightly disappointing steaksOverall we were very satisfied with one major caveat. All of the food was excellent-- especially the knockout crab cake appetizer- except the filet mignon which we both found to not be as tasty or juicy as those at Cameron's around the corner. This was a real shame as we loved everything else right from the start when we were seated in a round booth so I could sit right next to my hearing impaired husband. The wine list is actually on an IPad which was very informative and such fun to use that we played with it for quite some time-- very innovative. A very enjoyable evening except for the slight disappointment with the steaks.4/11/2013 12:00:00 AMWeeknight DinnerWe had a wonderful meal, but very $$$. Our service was very attentive, but the water glasses were too often empty, especially given the salty, though otherwise yummychimichurri. We were pleased to score a comfy booth.
We never felt rushed and the staff was pleasant and informative.
What was great: the food (aside from the chimmichurri salting), the atmosphere, the variety and descriptions on the menu, our waiter, James.
To improve: the dining room wasn't half full, but it was surprisingly loud for conversation (this is a common issue in restaurants and is getting worse everywhere--I can't be the only person who wants to have a conversation), keep filling water after dinner, reduce the salt, ditch the iPad menus.4/10/2013 12:00:00 AMFleming's Never DisappointsLoved it. Fleming's Steakhouse never disappoints. Great especially for celebrating special occasions.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial Evening Made Even BetterFood expertly prepared. The lobster bisque was remarkable with a nice spice kick. Steak perfect; lamb chops delectable. Ambience is that of a sophisticated steakhouse without being overbearing. Service attentive.
Of special note: they were aware that the evening was to celebrate my wife's birthday. From the hostess to the waitstaff to the management they all acknowledged this and made the experience even better.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat service and food isGreat service and food is always good. Love the new IPAD for wine choices that is available at the table now. Very good addition!3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMService was great. Wish theService was great. Wish the hostess would have checked me in for Open Table.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was nice, however oneFood was nice, however one Filet was very overdone. the waiter insisted on taking it back. Returned with a perfect filet an came to inquire if all was to our guest satisfaction with a $25.00 gift certificate! You do not get that attention at all restaurants!Those are the little things that make patrons return!3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMMy husband, my parents andMy husband, my parents and I went to flemings to celebrate our anniversary. We went last year as well. Last year they gave us a box of chocolate and a $25 dollar rewards card to come back and dine with them again. It was in our intention to go back again but until Monday night we didn't make it back. They had out an exp. date on it of 4-21-12, a year later they still let us use it. The customer service at Flemings is amazing. They are polite, educated in their menu; after all they have over 200 different wines on their list, and the management is respectful as well. The manager visited our table 3 times to make sure everything was alright and to present us with yet another box of chocolates and $25 reward card. The food is amazing too!3/25/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were happy to find a restaurantWe were happy to find a restaurant open on New Year's Day. We ate in the bar area in a cozy booth. It was happy hour, and Fleming's has some terrific "happy hour" bargains. Selected wines, mixed drinks, and small plates were $6 each. The burger with pepper bacon and cheese was very good and the two big crispy onion rings (made with Panko bread crumbs) that came with it were outstanding!1/1/2013 12:00:00 AM
