    This Thanksgiving, our family gathered at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar for a truly memorable holiday meal. The ambiance was warm and festive, setting the perfect tone for our celebration. Several of us opted for the traditional Thanksgiving turkey, and the portions were incredibly generous – more than enough for everyone to enjoy a hearty meal and take delicious leftovers home. One family member, however, chose the bone-in ribeye, which he raved about throughout the afternoon; a testament to Fleming's commitment to quality ingredients and expert preparation. The accompanying sides were equally impressive, complementing both the turkey and the steak beautifully. We also appreciated the extensive and well-curated wine list, selecting a bottle that paired perfectly with our meal. Our server, Bobby, provided exceptional service, ensuring that our every need was met with a friendly and attentive demeanor. From the impeccable food to the attentive service, our Thanksgiving luncheon at Fleming's was a resounding success, creating lasting memories for our family. We wholeheartedly recommend Fleming's for anyone seeking a sophisticated and celebratory dining experience. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone

    Enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal at FOGO! While the food is always great, we were concerned that it might be too crazy, but the staff was extra attentive & the gauchos came so fast we couldn’t keep up. As frequent diners at FOGO, we were all very impressed. Thanks for a wonderful Thanksgiving experience ❤️

    We went to Ruth’s Chris in Pasadena for our anniversary dinner. The staff was courteous and attentive, the food was excellent, and the entire experience was top notch. They made our anniversary feel special; they even customized the front page of the menu with our names and decorated our table with hearts. Truly outstanding experience, and looking forward to returning again soon!

    The food was very good, especially the steaks But the pacing was off and my wife’s crabcake did not arrive for a good 5 minutes after the other 4 of us were served. And there was a long lag before we were even asked about dessert. Entered at 5:30, out at 8. Too long for a fine dining experience.
