    We love Fleming's and had a good experience but the food was a little lacking this time. First our bread was really really hard. Our calamari was delicious, I got a filet mingon and my husband a rib eye. My husband specifically asked if the cap was still on the steak and was told yes but it wasn't. We got the Fleming potatoes which we love but they were almost reheated instead of freshly cooked last night which wasn't a great taste or look. We did get the lobster Mac n cheese, I recommend everyone have it so good!

    I absolutely loved the rooftop. What impressed me was a minimal menu. We had a large group and all the food was worth the value. Not cheap, so the execution of each dish was outstanding. Highly recommend !

    Recently found this place. Using In Kind gift cards purchased at Costco. Food is usually good. Service is always attentive. Drinks are pricey but good. One gripe is that there always seem to be things not available - on all four visits so far.

    It was a very nice environment. They played some mellow pop while I was there. I was not a huge fan of the seating arrangements kinda some smaller tables high chairs. The rainbow roll however was amazing and a few of the other rolls I got were great too. The waiter was very nice and food came out pretty fast

    Excellent squid ink paella and appetizers. The paella required at least 20 minutes to prepare so let the wait staff know or order it ahead of the rest. Attentive service
