    I love this restaurant, it’s cozy and always buzzing. The staff are attentive and helpful. The food is delicious and there’s a good selection of drinks. It tends to be cold in there so I always bring a jacket or shawl.

    We had an amazing birthday experience - the food, the hospitality, the service, the thoughtfulness : excellent and very deserving of 5 stars. Our server (Manny) was excellent in his communication, service and demeanor. We are thrilled to see that Flemings has brought back its softer bread recipe. In 2021 there was a change in their bread and spread options from the pre-covid times (those were amazing since they had a sweet spread option and a savory, paired with very soft bread warm bread). The dishes were excellent. Every step, from the table confetti to the chocolate for the birthday person was noted and appreciated. The photo print memory, such a wonderful touch. We will make Fleming’s our primary destination for special occasions because you do truly make it special with your flawless execution and details.
