We chose Fleming’s for our Christmas Eve dinner and, overall, had a really wonderful experience.
We started the evening with drinks at the bar, and the bar service was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and well-paced. Once seated, our server was absolutely incredible. I unfortunately can’t remember her name, but she was warm, knowledgeable, and extremely attentive. She gave excellent recommendations, helped us navigate the menu, and every suggestion she made was spot on. We truly loved having her as our server.
In general, the entire staff seemed genuinely happy to be there, which was especially nice to see considering it was the night before a major holiday. That positive energy really elevated the experience.
The food was excellent. Our appetizer was delicious, both steaks were cooked perfectly, the sides were exactly what we were hoping for, and the wine selection was great. When things moved a little slower at times, our server proactively checked in, offered bread, refilled wine, and made sure we felt completely taken care of—never rushed, never forgotten.
Dessert was the only disappointment of the evening. One dessert was very good, but the chocolate lava cake was unfortunately very overbaked. The outside was hard and dry, and the inside was fully cooked—no “lava” at all. We’ve had this dessert at Fleming’s before and know how incredible it usually is, so this felt like a one-time miss. Still, it was disappointing, especially since it was the dish I had been looking forward to most.
Our server immediately offered to have it remade, but since it was getting late, she instead took it off the bill. The issue was handled professionally and graciously, though unfortunately it ended up being the last impression of an otherwise excellent meal.
Overall, it was a really lovely evening with outstanding service, a welcoming atmosphere, and very good steak. We would absolutely return for the food and service—though next time, we may try dessert elsewhere afterward or explore another steakhouse just to compare. Still, a great Christmas Eve dinner and a strong dining experience.
