I had the opportunity to visit Fleming's Steakhouse last night and it was an amazing experience! This was my first time here at this location in Plano, and the interior and aesthetic were very classy and high end.
To begin our night we ordered a glass of Merlot along with the Golden State of Mind cocktail. Both were excellent and I especially liked the pineapple flavor in the cocktail! These drinks were accompanied with Fleming's signature appetizer bread. Their bread is one of my favorites I've had around the area. It is warm, wrapped in a napkin, easy to tear and very soft. It comes along with two different types of butters: a brie butter and a seasonal butter. The seasonal butter for the winter is currently a cheddar with chives. Both were excellent and our waiter told us we have to return in the fall for the pumpkin butter!
For our appetizer, we had the Ahi Tuna Poke Stack. This was absolutely delicious. It comes with lavash crackers and the tuna is topped with caviar. We also each ordered a salad, I had the Apple & Cinnamon Pecan Salad and he ordered the Caesar Salad. Both were very good and they were great appetizers before our entrées. I preferred the Apple & Cinnamon Pecan Salad, it has a tasty lime dressing and goat cheese crumbles that made it perfect! The Caesar Salad was pretty good as well, it was more savory and came along with some croutons.
For our entrées, we ordered the Prime Dry-Aged Ribeye Steak and the Prime New York Strip Steak. I had my New York Strip medium and he ordered the Dry-Aged Ribeye medium rare. They were both cooked to the perfect level of doneness and the flavor of both steaks was excellent. This was also my first time trying a dry-aged steak and it was a great one to begin with. We also ordered the Béarnaise Sauce to go along with the steaks, which made for a tasty pairing.
The sides here are large enough to share between two people, and we decided to spilt the North Atlantic Lobster Chipotle Cheddar Mac & Cheese. I am a huge fan of lobster mac and cheese and I really liked this one. The chipotle flavor was a little overpowering but it lessened a little if you stirred it all up together.
Lastly, for dessert, we chose the Basked Apple and Brie Galette, per our waiter's recommendation. It was amazing! It wasn't too heavy for after our meal and it came along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. I couldn't taste the caramel flavor as much but it was still a great dessert nonetheless!
Overall, it was a great experience and I want to shout-out our wonderful waiter, Chris! He was attentive and gave us some great recommendations. He also said their chef is fantastic and can always change a dish a little bit to fit your desires. Make sure you ask for him or sit in the back in his section, we definitely will next time we visit! Thank you for such a wonderful and fun night, I can't wait to be back!
