Valentine's Day Dinner at Fleming's Steakhouse

Flemings Steakhouse
Valentine's Day 2/14/15
 
 
 
 
On Valentine's Day, I went to eat at Fleming's located at 2525 Ponce De Leon Blvd, Coral Gables, FL 33134. I had made reservations for 2 for 7:45PM and got there a few minutes earlier. When we arrived, we were greeted right away. The host told us it would just be five minutes past my reservation time. They were right on the money. At 7:50, they were walking us to our table. I analyzed how they handled the high volume of people arriving. Some people didn't have reservations, but they still found a way to accommodate them. Truly impressive.
 
The dinner experience was not short of perfect. The waiter and his assistant were on top of us the whole time, making sure everything was to our liking. We ordered the Petite Filet Mignon and the Main Filet Mignon. Both were cooked to perfection. We also ordered two sides: Chipotle Mac & Cheese and the Fleming's Potatoes. The Chipotle Mac & Cheese was delicious with a nice combination of cheesy with a small kick. I didn't find the Fleming's Potatoes to be as good. They tasted okay though. For desert we had the decadent Chocolate Lava Cake. It was so delicious. The warm cake with fudge mixed with the vanilla ice cream and fresh cream was to die for!
 
We saw something happen while we were waiting for the check. A man proposed to his girlfriend right next to us. The restaurant created a beautiful desert and placed flower petals on their table. It was truly a beautiful setup for a proposal.
 
Overall, our dining experience was five stars worthy. Both the service and the quality of food were excellent. It is even more impressive that this restaurant maintained both in top condition given all of the clientele that they had that night.
