We went there for my parents' anniversary. They have never been before. They loved the food and drinks. Lann, the server, made them feel so special on their night. I can't say enough great things about her. Even the valets were very polite.

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.
