    This was our first visit to celebrate an anniversary and Flemings was BY FAR the most impressive dining experience in a long time! The service was exceptional, matched by the food! Our server, Nick S***** was exceptionally attentive to making our experience wonderful. Everything from the Seafood Tower, to the filets and desserts (Creme Boulay & Carrot Cake) were all exceptional! In recognition of our special occasion, we were greeted with a signed by the staff Anniversary Card - so very nice! When our desserts arrived, our Creme Boulay had a chocolate-written inscription congratulating us on our 25th - lovely touch! While we were graciously offered a champagne toast to complete our celebration and opted otherwise (as we were so full), they provided us a few boxes of delicious chef's special chocolates - a wonderful blend of creamy chocolate with orange flavor! The entire staff was wonderful from start to finish. We strongly recommend Flemings for those very special occasions! Thank you, Flemings & Staff, for a very memorable experience!
