The grilled fish of the day was outstanding--light, perfectly cooked, and incredibly fresh. The stuffed calamari appetizer was absolutely to die for and easily one of the highlights of the meal. Every dish reflected the quality and attention to detail that keeps me coming back. My only regret was not saving enough room for dessert. I'll definitely have to fix that on my next visit.

It was fresh, tasty, and tender, and all of the flavors with the calamari blended perfectly. I also ordered the lamb chops medium-well, and they were amazing. They came with delicious mashed potatoes, perfectly charred asparagus, and chimichurri sauce. Everything came together really well. The food was fantastic! The service was friendly and hospitable. We were seated in a nice booth overlooking the restaurant, and our waiter was attentive without overdoing it. You know those restaurants where the server checks on you so much you can barely get a bite in? This was not like that. The service was just right. It was Friday night, and the band was setting up while we were there. Our food didn't take long at all, and it surpassed our expectations. By the time we left, the restaurant was starting to fill up, which I can definitely understand. My family and I highly recommend this place! Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Currently the decor isn't great but the friendly owner Raj said he would be updating the place over the next few months. Our waiter was new but he was very friendly and provided helpful recommendations. The menu is already large and Raj mentioned that they're looking to add southern Indian dishes to their current northern Indian focus. We had boneless wings, mutton, samosas, and another chicken appetizer. All of the starters were excellent, perfect mild to medium spice level. Our entrees included lamb, mutton biryani, and a chickpea dish. The biryani was a ton of food and the chickpea texture was awesome. We also had butter naan and I added a tasty mango lassi. Apparently they do a solid bar crowd on weekend nights. I would certainly return to try more dishes. Definitely a solid restaurant.

Sangria's has been a go-to for us for years for good tapas and sangria, but we've now had issues on…read moreour last two visits, and this most recent one was especially frustrating. The food is still great. We had scallops, chorizo, brussels sprouts, and a flounder ceviche special. Everything was delicious. The ceviche in particular stood out -- fresh, well-portioned, and nicely "cooked" in lime juice. The sangria is still a highlight too. A big carafe, no ice watering it down, served with glasses full of fruit. The problem is the service. They had two servers and one bus person, and it showed. Everyone seemed to be scrambling, and it was hard to get a moment of attention to ask for anything or even be heard. Our food came out in pieces -- three items, then a long delay, then another. The last dish, calamari, never came. When I tried to tell the waiter we didn't want it anymore if it was forgotten, he didn't listen and insisted on bringing it anyway. We ended up waiting even longer, which just made the experience more frustrating. To top it off, they're now adding an operating/service fee (around 3-4%), which wasn't clearly communicated and just showed up on the bill. It's disappointing because the food is still very good, but the service issues -- and now the added fees -- are taking away from the experience. After this visit, we'll think twice before coming back.

Some cocktails have special pricing and they also offer bar bites at decent prices. The food was awesome this last visit. With our cocktails, we scarfed down the steak sliders, chicken sliders, Korean chicken bites, meatballs, chips and dip, plus some shrimp. All of the food was outstanding. The steak sliders were juicy and had pink in the middle, which is tricky to achieve with sliders. The Korean chicken bites are sooo good and loved by everyone. Really, nothing was bad. Cocktails were all great too, including my $9 Olive A Martini's. Someone had an espresso martini and couldn't stop talking about it... even the next day. Our server was also the bartender and did a great job tending to us, even while we were all seated at the outdoor tables. We'll definitely be back again!

We started coming to Fleming's early into the summer and our first thought was, "Why did it take so…read morelong to come here?!" We don't typically go to chain restaurants, so weren't sure what to expect, but are SO glad we didn't let snobby preconceived notions get in the way of what's become a regular Saturday spot. First, the space is gorgeous - so many windows so it's incredibly bright with a separate bar and dining area. We are bar people, so gravitate towards the huge bar - and a plus of Fleming's is that all of the area around the bar (tables/high tops) plus the huge outdoor space gets bar service and access to the bar menu/happy hour. Okay - the happy hour!!! It's EVERY day from 3-6:30 PM with some of the best deals I've ever seen. They have select $9 specialty cocktails (a tequila based one, take on an old fashioned, variation of a G&T, and a dirty martini), $9 glasses of wine, and deals on small bites. The menu is also constantly rotating by the season with some mainstays and things that have changed out. Regardless, it is an absolute deal. A great happy hour and small plates is obviously a huge draw, but what keeps us coming back to Fleming's is the people. From the moment you arrive, there's someone to open the door for you and greet you at the front without fail. The bartenders are incredible - friendly, attentive, great at making drinks for what becomes a PACKED bar, conversational. We genuinely love sitting at the bar and chatting with the team (sometimes for too long, sorry guys!). All in all, Fleming's will continue to be a regular spot, not just for the value of the social hour (and just all around great food and drinks when you step outside of that more limited menu), but mainly for the incredible staff and the feeling of appreciation you get as a guest at Fleming's.

It's BYOB and you can tell this place is a favorite for seniors. Our service was generally ok, but it was rather amusing how the staff were head over heels for some other (regular) customers. I think another reviewer alluded to this as well. Eg. While our waiter opened our wine for us, he never once poured any into our glasses. However, he was hugging and kisses other customers, and also walking around their table, pouring their wines. The filet mignon ravioli appetizer was delicious. They conveniently split it across two plates for my wife and I. Ravioli were hand made, filled well and there's a good ratio of pasta to meat filling. We were soaking up every last drop from the plate with bread. The Berkshire pork chop entree was ok, but the apple sauce on top got overwhelming. A little bit is fine, but I would've preferred to taste more of the chop itself. My wife's duck entree was unfortunately unpleasant. The duck tasted like it was dry and reheated, plus everything on the plate has this flavor of old fryer oil. After eating some, we spoke to the waiter about this. He claimed that's how it's supposed to be. We've had amazing confits elsewhere and make it at home as well. It shouldn't be dry or taste like old fryer oil. The waiter offered to replace it with something else, which is nice, but my wife wanted good duck... And didn't want to wait another 15 minutes for something else. For $48, it was a disappointment. We just picked at parts of the dish that tasted edible. Unfortunately, the duck experience left us on a sour note where we were otherwise excited about finding another restaurant we liked.
