    The food is very good, however it is the service that really stands out. Our waitress was great, but what stands out more is the man bussing our table. He was so on top of every aspect of taking care of our table. What an incredibly hard worker he is, we were lucky to have him taking care of our table with our waitress AND Flemings is lucky to have him working for them. I need to mention a couple special touches, it was our daughter’s graduation dinner, we were greeted acknowledging it, the table was decorated with confetti, she was given a personally signed card by the restaurant staff and a a box of chocolates. Again the food was fabulous but the real standout was the service from beginning to end. A fantastic dinner experience!
