It was my wife's birthday. The manager of the restaurant brought us to our seats and said Happy Birthday to my wife.. There was a happy Birthday card and confetti on the table. Excellent attention to detail. David was our server and treated us very well. We had the tomahawk steak shared by my wife and son. My daughter has celiac and they brought her a gluten free menu. The service and the food is always top notch. I enjoyed the salmon dish. Flemings and the staff are always consistent and always great. Thank you for making a wonderful evening for me and the family.

The experience was as expected, which was excellent. Friendly service, good food, good portions, and water with ice. Not only was the meat good, but also the seafood, soup, and salad. More food than we could take in, but for me that is a positive.

Burma Love was a nice place to have a business meeting within the first 30 minutes of opening. By the end of lunch, it was difficult to hear conversation with my clients through the dining room noise. The lunch deal with two appetizers, entree, choice of rice and optional dessert was ideal for my colleagues. Everyone was quite pleased with the meal. Just wish that there was better noise absorption to make it quieter inside.
