Wonderful experience! They decorated our table for my birthday and gave me a little gift with chocolates. The food was excellent as always and Preston, our server, was just lovely. Always a great experience at Flemings!

Found out about The San Fernando from DINELA, but never had a chance to get over there. We dropped by early on a Friday night and practically had the place to ourselves. The staff was great, great clean modern vintage feel, but oh man, the food and drink. The cocktail menu is outstanding, and the 4 we got were fantastic--specific shout-out to the Dublin, an awesome cocktail made with Irish Whiskey and a house Guinness reduction--unique and INCREDIBLE. I had the mussels, which were INCREDIBLE, and the cheesecake is second to none--best little-known dessert in LA. Will definitely be back--and soon!
