Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar

The steaks were delicious. This atmosphere is extremely elegant. Probably one of my best dining experiences ever.

Fleming's has always been a great experience and yet again it was so good I have to write about it. Everything was so good that even the foodies and restaurant-rats and restaurant-in-the-family people all had only positive things to day. Katie the buser not only handled removing dead plates and glassware in an extremely timely manner but when we asked for extra dressing ... rather than punting to the server or the kitchen, went and got that and had it on our table in about 30 seconds. She was incredible. Pablo the server was super busy with the annual gem-show crowd but made plenty of time to be patient while our party made up its mind. Drinks were immediately delivered (their nopales margarita is to die for) and fresh warm bread and cheese/butter immediately came to us. When we ordered he verified the steak temps, and when the steaks came about 10-15min later they were EXACTLY as each of us had ordered. He took no notes, had no notepad, just memory, and off to the POS terminal to punch it in. There was the expected upsale on the molten-chococolate ("lava") cake that "takes 20 minutes to prepare" (it doesn't, but if you can be cajoled to order it before you eat your entree you're more likely to order it.... after the entree you'll be too full and probably wiser ;-) It was a double date-night and both couples had a blast. The venue was packed (likely due to the aforementioned annual gem and mineral show) and the private dining rooms (PDRs) had been converted to extra seating. Sometimes that can be poor for service but not Fleming's Tucson -- it was definitely staffed right and we felt we were in a "quieter area" than the main dining room, and more intimate (not crowded nor packet, nor anything negative, just a smaller room!) The steaks ... the steaks are to die for. Two had bone-in. Two had bone-out. I'm still not sure how they can serve a "bone-in filet" since a filet is a cut that severs meat from the bone... but hey, I don't own a steakhouse that takes USDA prime beef into the thousands of degrees (F) and oh the crust... I would say the wedge salad is awesome too. The one negative thing, and it's so trivial I hate to even mention it, and it didn't ruin our night, just cause a disappointment. Both their online menu and their printed menu offer oysters on the half-shell. In Tucson, Arizona good fresh safe raw oysters are a delicacy east-coast people won't appreciate, kind of like politeness in traffic... but we do! Having seen it online and on the menu at the restaurant we ordered it, planning on 2doz only to be told there are no oysters and that had been the case for two months. Ok, Flemings Tucson, own up and change your website menu and your printed menu. If there's a cost for that, no worries, you make it up on every table every night. Spend on 4 people to have a fantastic time for around 2 hours: $500 January 2024. That includes drinks, endless warm soft ot-of-the-oven bread, best service in a fine-dining steakhouse in Tucson, clean and safe environment, valet parking (we self-parked), and obvious attention to detail. Would I go there again: OH YES. Would I recommend it to others: OH YES. Would I recommend it to friends and family knowing that if it's a bad recommendation I'll hear about it forever: OH YES. In one sentence: No oysters takes a 100% rating down to 99%. Disclaimer: We've been enjoying this restaurant since it opened years and years ago. Even during the COVID pandemic of 2021-2022 and before and beyond... it's been awesome. I would say "Can't wait to go back" but good things are worth waiting for special occasions. Valentine's Day is coming next month (Feb 2024). FYI I put dates in here because my last review was (according to google) 6 years ago and I wanted to give some timeline context to those of you who come later and read my words and say "What the heck was going on back in 2023." Great dining at Fleming's Tucson, that's what the heck. OH YES!! p.s. Double hats off to Katie, and the rest of the team!

What can I say... The food at Flemings never disappoints. Wedge salads and Flemings salad are both very good. Calamari is our favorite. Steak is always cooked perfectly. You can't go wrong with the Flemings potatoes and the Brussels sprouts or asparagus. The only negative is that sometimes it is too loud to hold a conversation at the table.

Fine dining at it's best! Very great service, food, and atmosphere! Highly recommend!

We went to Flemings for our anniversary. Service was impeccable, and the food, as always, was perfect. BTW, they make the best Brandy Alexanders!

Always a treat to enjoy a meal at Flemings. The service is top notch and they do usually remember your name or special preferences. The food is pricey and a la carte but it's plentiful and they allowed us to split. The atmosphere is nicely appointed but comfortable. It’s definitely a favorite place for a special occasion or date night.
