    Everything was great. Next time we’ll ask to sit outdoors because it is very loud indoors.

    This was an opportunity for me and my best friend to ring in the new year. What a better way than to do it at Flemings! We did an early dinner, and we seated in one of their booths, which was perfect. The service was unobtrusive and perfect. The food was beyond words. We decided to do the Wagyu experience and a fillet. We didn’t do appetizers so that we wouldn’t fill up and be able to enjoy our steaks and sides. I highly recommend the Wagyu experience! You receive complete instructions as well as all the tools and accessories you need for the experience. The steak comes to you seared and rare sliced. In the center of your table is a super hot stone 500°. You receive miso (amazing)! , Horseradish sauce, and black salt. If you don’t like your steak rare, you can place it on the stone and cook it to your liking. The beef is the most amazing meat you will ever taste anywhere. My fillet was also perfectly cooked medium. I have to admit I did partake in the Black salt, which was my favorite! For sides, we had mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and roasted asparagus. For dessert, we had chocolate gelato homemade made by the chef and a chocolate lava cake which comes with vanilla ice cream. Nic was our server and his service was absolutely outstanding. Thank you, Flemmings, even on a most busy Saturday night at the beginning of the year you made our experience and experience that will last with us for a long time until we see you again, which will be very soon. Thank you again and happy new year.

    Waiter and whole staff were pretty gentle. By the night time the place was really crowded and kinda loud ( people were just enjoying lol, just as we did ) so just be aware if you’re looking for a quiet place.

    We were able to sit before our reservation time and in a corner booth. Our dining experience was very pleasant and the waiter was flexible. Our small plates and entrees arrived at the same time by request. The Raw Oysters from Prince Eduard Island were perfect as well as the Mushroom Fricassee we choose to go with the delicious 8 oz Filet Mignon. Do not miss the Dirt Pie Mousse with a shot of expresso to finish the evening. I will be bringing my friends
