Joseph was incredibly helpful and attentive while shepherding us through our evening. The house and dining area is gorgeous. Entrees were delicious. My manhattan was good although my wife’s wine was just alright. Dessert was just ok, nothing particularly special. My suggestion would be to order more starters/entrees over saving room for dessert. Overall a great experience and will certainly return. More

Our experience was amazing. We requested a large booth in our reservation and it was ready and waiting. The food was delicious and the service was five star. We drove down to Des Moines from Minneapolis just for a birthday dinner at Flemings. Minneapolis has a great steakhouse called Manny’s. We have dined there on occasion. Fleming’s outdoes them hands down. This was our third dinner at a Fleming’s this year. Miami,Las Vegas, and Des Moines. Thank you for a great dinner! More
