    Awesome experience! It was really easy to change our reservation from 715 to 830 via open table, when we were running late! The young ladies at the front were very nice and we were seated promptly! Our server Marquis was excellent as were the young ladies assisting him clearing tables! A wonderful surprise:the table was decorated tastefully for my beau's 50th bday! Everything went super smooth! Marquis,our server, was friendly and personable, kind to my 91yrold momma, efficient and had excellent suggestions! Trust him on wine and dessert! Regarding the food: Bread w/flavored butter:10/10 Calamari w/sweet chili 10/10 Filet mignon and ny strip=porterhouse: 10/10 Asparagus 10/10 Potato au gratin 9/10 (a little undercooked) Lavacake:10/10 Banana fosters bread pudding: 10/10 Thank you Fleming's and Marquis for a wonderful and tasty evening for my beau's 50th bday!

    We are at this store about once a month and always appreciate it. The team is always so good, the ambiance is classic, and the food is delicious. On the rare occasion a steak was not to our expectation, the are quick to fix. This review is for a recent wine pairing dinner which we loved. We attend whenever we can and this was another gem!

    There's structure or street parking to get here. You'll likely have to walk a block or so if you use structure parking. Inside is clean, elegant, and well maintained. They have seating for those waiting for a seat. The staff are nice, friendly, and professional. They always made sure to have the water glasses filled. They have background music that isn't overly loud and is also played in the restrooms. I got the petite filet mignon with the additional mushrooms. It was delicious and cuts like butter. I wasn't sure how hungry I was entering but I easily finished this. I also got mashed potatoes and crab cakes to share. The crab cakes were well seasoned and flavorful. Mashed potatoes were what you expect. I also got the chocolate lava cake. The server informed us it takes 20 minutes to prepare which they let you know early. It was rich and warm. The cookie addition was great. Overall it was a nice experience. Definitely worth a try. I'd return again to try more of the menu.

    I made dinner reservations online for a Sunday evening. We parked in the structure next to the restaurant which offers a flat rate of $10 on Sundays. After checking in, we waited a bit to be seated. Our waiter, Chris, was awesome and had great energy. We were started off with complimentary bread served with two spreads, the bread was warm and the spreads were tasty. I ordered a Caesar salad, they add the cheese and fresh pepper right at your table. I also ordered the chipotle mac and cheese and the calamari, I wish the calamari was more crispy and it was a bit cold. Overall, it's a nice restaurant to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday or graduation.

    I would've given 5 stars, but our waiter was SO SLOW throughout our dinner. Even when we asked for the check, it took 20 mins for him to come back. After he took our payment, it took another 10 mins to come back with our card. Other than the slow service, the food was really good. My filet was cooked perfectly and the truffle butter was AMAZING! I didn't really care for the pave potato's though. The brussel sprouts were also okay.

    Dirty Martini
    Melodie M.

    Oh.. MY.. GOODNESS! I love how it's so luxury yet casual at this location. I was serviced as soon as I sat down by the bar. I ordered my regular, my dirty martini double. The bartender was splendid, very conversational and polite. Left the bar feeling magnificent! I would go back because there's so many entrees that I would like to try. This round I just settled for the lamb chops paired with the ratatouille. The lamb chops were well seasoned and well cooked, medium well. Nice, tender and juicy. First lamb I tried! Would 100% come back here again.

    Came here for Valentine's Day dinner and honestly had an amazing experience! Every other restaurant in the area, including this one had an extremely huge crowd, but the staff worked accordingly and we didn't have to wait long for our reservation at all. We got started off with a complementary bread and butter basket and honestly, it was perfect. Very basic bread, but it was nice and warm, and the butter was nice and salty. For my main I got the 11 oz main fillet. It was cooked perfectly, medium and not too tough. For the sides we got the mashed potatoes and the chipotle mac & cheese. Both are absolutely delicious and I like how the chipotle flavor wasn't too overpowering. We got the chocolate lava cake to finish and it was so delicious. It came with a side of ice cream and tasted like it had a bit of sea salt flakes on it. Overall, our service here was amazing. Our server was beyond helpful and so pleasant. Please be aware they don't take apple or any form of tap payment. The parking situation can be a bit difficult if there isn't any available right out front.

    *** 8Th Grade Promotion Luncheon *** Our son selected Flemings in Pasadena for his celebration due to the continued 5 star customer service over the past 7 years. Maria and her staff, Keon, Chris, Dereck, and Jonathan were just amazing. We had a party of 30 and all food was served at the perfect time. The filet with shrimp was excellent. Keon took everyone's order and all orders were correct. His skills and delivering several dishes at once was amazing. Jonathan at the bar assisted with keeping up with the drinks because of the demand of great drinks such as Spicy Margaritas and Old Fashions. Everyone who attended could not stop talking about the great service, tasty food, and great drinks! I highly recommend Flemings for all your future celebrations including large party events! You will not be disappointed!

    Came here for happy hour drinks before dinner to celebrate my graduation. Service was pretty good and vibes felt celebratory. I have to say though that typically Flemings makes the best dirty martini I have ever had, and last night there was definitely something a bit off about it; not as strong and a bit less flavorful than usual. Still had a great time though!

    I used to be a regular customer at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar and would dine there multiple times a week prior to COVID. Unfortunately, after yesterday's experience, I probably won't be returning. Not only are the prices nearly double what they used to be, but the service no longer matches the premium dining experience the restaurant claims to offer. I chose to sit at the bar and dine alone. While the restaurant was not overly busy, I couldn't help but notice the staff giving overwhelming attention to a gentleman seated next to me who appeared to order a single drink. The entire staff was loudly carrying on conversations with him throughout my meal, to the point where it felt more like a sports bar atmosphere than an upscale steakhouse. Meanwhile, my own meal and drink totaled around $150, yet not once did anyone check on how my meal was, ask if I needed anything, or provide even basic attentive service. I felt like an afterthought sitting at the bar despite spending significantly more. I understand hospitality is about making guests feel welcome, but the dynamic was hard to ignore. The loud, overly familiar interaction happening beside me completely took away from what should have been a refined dining experience worthy of the price point.

    Tomahawk Tuesday for Two
    Melissa O.

    I know I made a good decision when I end up at Flemings. Came for tomahawk Tuesday. Such a good deal. Steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. And can't go wrong with chipotle mac and cheese. I could eat that every day! Had the Flemings salad to start, some asparagus and carrot cake for dessert (to go cause I was stuffed). Service here is always top notch. Ask for Amber or Sarah. They are the sweetest! Be back soon!

    Held an event here in the summer, so earned some rewards points that I needed to use up asap, so we came to eat some steak! The service was amazingly friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. Came out fast and everything was big enough to share; they split the salad directly in the kitchen for us and sliced up the steak so we'd have an easier time sharing. They de-shelled the lobster directly at the table. And, I finally got to try the corn brûlée; so good! Also matched well with the bread. We were too stuffed for dessert, but the corn hit the dessert itch, so we left happy. Can find parking around city hall, or they validate for the structure behind them; not free, but a small fee.

    Came here for the very first time last week for an anniversary dinner and everything from the hostess to the service was absolutely phenomenal. The hostess gave us roses for our anniversary and had our table set up so beautifully. Jean was our server. From the beginning she was very attentive, kind, and helpful when it came to deciding what food and drinks to get. She had another lady assisting her in her section (I forgot her name), and she was attentive as well, making sure our waters were filled and table was cleaned when we finished our dishes. The food was delicious and if you ever think about coming here, their Tuesday special for two is the perfect amount of food. We even had leftovers to take home! The environment and the employees made us feel welcomed and I'm very glad to have chosen this restaurant for our anniversary dinner.

    Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar

    What is the dress code?

    Business casual

    We have an infant that's 3 months, does the restaurant allow strollers and/or car seats inside?

    It's not a child friendly restaurant. I've been there a couple of times and not once have I seen a child under 15 eating there.

    At Fleming steak house what means shareable sides?

    Side dishes big enough to share with your date or group for dinner. Like potatoes or Mac n cheese.

    Is there a dress code?

    Yes, smart casual. Not too strict but would avoid ripped jeans/hoodies.

    Where do we park? Can we use the 177 parking lot?

    There is a parking structure behind the restaurant.

    What is the current info on happy hour? I hope its back!

    You don't there for Happy Hour You go there for a Great Steak & Lobster Dinner w/ Sides

    What's the corkage fee?

    It's $25 each for the 1st and 2nd bottle; and then $50 each for the 3rd and 4th bottle. You can bring a max. of 4 bottles total.… 

    Would I be able to order a burger dining in at the bar?

    Yes, you will be able to.

    Does the bar serve the full menu?

    Yes they do.

    Can you accommodate a group of 25 in one of your private rooms?

    Yes they can.. you need to call the restaurant for arrangements 626 639-0490

    I will be attending a special event there, where is your handicapped parking? There are no…

    There are handicapped parking spaces in front of restaurant on Colorado Bl.

    Do you need Reservations for tonight?

    Reservations are preferred, especially on the weekends because it gets busy; however, they do accept walk-ins as well, but you may have to wait. The bar top is open seating and the full menu is available there.

    Valet service? If not what is the best place to park?

    No valets that I know of but there is parking in the lot they are adjacent to. Very convenient

    Question for the Flemmings yelpers is it worth the money?When youve ate here have you came back? Ive been to the bona vista lounge the food was horrible! Pricey as it gets but the 34th floor rotation sky night view was worth it.Not the food.

    If they offer Tomahawk Tuesday at your location, quantity and quality of food is good for the price. It feeds more than enough for 2 people: salad choice for two, two sides, tomahawk and two desserts.… 

    Does Flemming's release reservations in blocks? I am trying to make an online reservation for next month and it only shows 4 weeks out from today.

    Hi Michelle - in this case, we recommend contacting your local Fleming's by phone for reservation information!

For food, we started with the bacon deviled eggs and shrimp taquitos. Those deviled eggs were lightly fried, which was different, then had apple wood smoked bacon on top, just a really tasty bite. The shrimp taquitos were also not what you would expect, nice and light but still very good. Entrees we went with the center cut fillet and the prime rib dip with swiss cheese on a brioche bun. That sandwich just melts if your mouth after dipping it in the jous, and the cheese was the perfect accompiament. The fillet was cooked perfect as well, coming out medium rare. Overall, great restaurant in Pasadena. Definitely get the Mai Tai, Devine eggs and prime rib dip. Taquitos were good and, if you're feeling like another hg er appetizer, definitely a way to go . The fillet, also great but I feel you can get it anywhere.

The store associate says that it gets made fresh daily, and that there's chunks of lobster in the bisque, so I had to give it a try. Guys. It's worth making a trip for! This is the BEST lobster bisque I've had (and I used to live in east coast!). You can truly taste the freshness and yes, there were chunks of lobster in it! They also have a clam chowder which I need to try again. Whatever you come here for, get a side of soup to complete your meal :)

    COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask…read more All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor & outdoor seating available with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was eating my food in this establishment several months ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they were offering some at the moment. They currently do have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is located behind the restaurant at a local medical building parking lot. It's $1 each 9 minutes with a max of $13. Or you can try to find street parking and walk on over. Food: I ordered a Lychee Martini, Saigon Summer, Mamasan's Shrimp Cake Skewers, Truffle Wok Seared Noodles with Scallop, Slow-Drip Vietnamese Coffee Flan, and Banyan Tree Ice Cream. Before I started ordering, I was immediately given some house made complimentary shrimp chips. I loved how light and airy it was. It also had an amazing crunch. It tasted just like shrimps hahaha. My lychee martini was a crisp, refreshing cocktail that perfectly balances floral sweetness with tart acidity. Order this! The Saigon summer is a spicy, tropical blend of tequila, lime leaf liqueur, agave, butterfly pea infused triplum, and a Thai chili infusion. Not really up my alley, but I'm glad I was able to try it out. I think I dislike anything spicy and super bitter in my drinks. It just tasted odd. Mamasan's shrimp cake skewers features crispy, deep-fried shrimp cakes flavored with kaffir lime and lemongrass. It is served with skewers, charred pineapple, and a sweet garlic chili dip. Definitely get this. It was so crunchy, massive, and mouthwatering. The charred pineapple provided a sour yet sweet taste that helped off set the savory seafood / fishy taste in your mouth. The truffle wok seared noodles with scallop is a dish that combines savory, smoky flavor with luxurious truffle and tender scallops, which bridges the gap between classic Asian stir-fry and Italian comfort food. As a massive sucker for Italian food and all things truffle, this dish was my favorite. The al dente handmade egg noodles were wok-tossed in a rich black truffle sauce with delicious mushrooms, fresh Brussels sprout leaves, and perfectly seared scallops. I loved that I could taste the black truffles. The truffles added a nice rich, earthy, and highly savory flavor with prominent notes roasted nuts. GET THIS DISH!!!!! The slow-drip Vietnamese coffee flan is a silky, rich egg custard infused with bold phin-drip coffee and sweetened condensed milk. It offers a perfect balance of bitter roasted coffee and sweet creamy custard. This dish was super smooth, creamy, and delicious. I loved that Star Leaf added their own twist to this dish by putting a caramel golden cage on top of this already phenomenal tasting dessert. The caramel golden cage gave this flan a nice crunch. This dish wasn't too sweet for me. As a hater of super sweet things, this flan was just right. The banyan tree ice cream was a great way to end the meal. Super refreshing! I got two scoops of Thai tea ice cream and one scoop of the coconut ice cream. Both flavors were fantastic and tasted very creamy. Not too sweet, which is how I like it. Staff: The staff here are very attentive, friendly, welcoming, and polite. Elysha waited on me when I went. She was very attentive, informative, and personable. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

    The good: We had the ten secret spice chicken curry served…read morewith baguette. It reminded me a lot of Vietnamese curry that my family makes because it's yellow, made with potatoes and served with baguette. I also had a pink pandan lemonade, fried sea bass and salad appetizer (recommended by our waiter), and the truffle noodle dish. I liked the heat in the appetizer and the crunch on the sea bass. The interior is beautiful and spacious. It's great for special events or fancier occasions. They have a private parking lot on the side that validates but I also found metered street parking right out front. They took online reservations. We were able to sit and chat there for a long time without being pressured to leave or without feeling rushed. The bad: The pink lemonade tasted like concentrate or syrup and had no pandan flavor. For $12, it was too sweet and too artificial tasting. The curry lacked heat and punch. It was like a blander more mild version of Vietnamese curry. It was a bit on the dry side. The fried batter on sea bass hid the yummy sea bass flavor and the side salad was on the salty side. The interesting: They have multiple locations.

    I returned to The Arbour in Pasadena for a Friday night dinner and had an even better experience…read morethan the last time. I got the sea bass and the the fish was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The sides including the polenta cake and the baby bok-choy hit all the marks in terms of flavor, texture and presentation. I realized they had changed their dessert menu since the last time I was here in February. To my pleasant surprise and relief, their new dessert options were really good too! We got 2 desserts and the chocolate mousse cake was to die for. My girfriends and I were fighting for it. The warm apple pie was good too. I got the margarita mocktail and it was incorrectly made the first time but then they fixed it and it was delicious. Service was good. The ambiance is always modern, intimate and not too noisy. I am glad my gfs chose to come here after I recommended and I had another great experience.

    The Arbour is a fantastic restaurant in Pasadena. I came with a reservation for a weekend dinner…read more The atmosphere inside is classy and almost romantic, the perfect place for a nice dinner. Although there's no dress code, most folks dressed in business casual or nicer. The food was delicious. Because it was shared family style, they split it across two plates, which kept the presentation nice and clean. The corn agnolotti is a must - the brown butter sauce, roasted corn, shallot, and ricotta cheese combination was perfection. The shrimp penne was also excellently executed. I also ordered the sea bass. The fish was good, but the sauce and vegetables lacked flavor depth. The drinks were also great. I got the berry mojito mocktail - it was one of the best mocktails I had. The service was above and beyond in all aspects. Think of the most ideal type of service at a restaurant - that's what I received. Overall, I had an incredible meal and dining experience at The Arbour. I'd come back for a special occasion and I recommend others to visit.

    Boston Lobster is the best Chinese restaurant in the SGV! This restaurant has delicious food,…read morewonderful service, and the ambiance is good. Here are the dishes we ordered: House special lobster with noodles: 5/5 ( the star of this place) Pan fried beef noodles: 5/5 Kung pao chicken: 5/5 Tofu with brown sauce: 5/5 Chow fun noodles: 4/5 Vegetable dishes: 4/5 Fish fillet: 3/5 Pork chop spicy salt: 5/5 Mapo tofu: 4/5 Shrimp with eggs: 4/5 My favorite dish was the house lobster with noodles. It's really why I came here. There was so much meat from the lobster and the noodles were a great addition to the dish. So flavorful and delicious! If you come between 11:30-4:45pm, you can get the lunch special items. The portions were actually huge for the price you're paying. It's available 7 days a week. It's so worth it! I would definitely come back here especially for the delicious food, reasonable prices and exceptional service.

    We dined here last night for the first time from a friend's recommendation. The house special crab…read moreand fried calamari were pretty yummy, but not very happy with how our food was handled... One of the dish we ordered was the house special sauce crab with market price of ~$26 per pound. We added the noodles for $10. Normal practice the server should come and advise on the size of our crab before making so we can choose how big the crab we want for our dish, because we're paying by pound for the dish anyway... but within 2 minutes of placing the order, a crab dish arrived... HA! Problem 1: The server originally tried to give the crab dish to the table next to us and the folks refused the dish... then the server turned around and placed the dish onto our table for us. CLEARLY they made a mistake and made the wrong dish for next table and decide to not waste food and gave it to us. We asked if that was really our dish and they said yes... what a lie! The kitchen took 2 mins to cook our dish? haha...dumb! Next table was there before us and their house special lobster noodles arrived 10-15 minutes later. First they made a mistake, then tried to lie to cover it up. No one is stupid here. We would have been ok if they were honest about it and ask if we would accept that dish with no complain here. Problem 2: The table next to us got their plates changed multiple times and NOT once did someone came to check on us about changing plates. Problem 3: Our bill came. They charged our crab as 2.5 pounds. What a joke! I'm a crab person. I know my crabs. That tiny crab is probably around 1.5 pounds - 2 pounds max. (Check out the picture to see the small crab shell and the tiny pieces of the crab legs and meat pieces on the edge of the plate). The $10 they charged for noodles was a huge portion, but that is not the same value as 1 pound of crab that they overcharged us for the dish. The house special crab was pretty tasty and we like the fried calamari. The veggie was decent and soup was pretty weak... our bill was $150 and I tipped $20 for the experience. Be grateful and work on improving your practice

    Definitely a spot you come to on special occasions as it is pricey. We came with a reservation for…read more9 people, and they had everything ready for us when we arrived. We ended up getting a set for $168 this time, which came with 6 dishes. It's also $35 per lb for lobster, and I asked for the smallest one. Apparently, the smallest one was 4.8 lbs, which was another $168, so I'm not sure if they upsold me. Anyways, the food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. This is what I thought about the food we got. House Seafood Soup - Simple and clean soup. Good portion, and it was soothing to eat. Lots of squid. (4/5) Clams with Spicy Sauce - Large clams with tons of meat, and the sauce was fire. Always a good choice. (5/5) Crab with Salt & Pepper - Loved the seasoning, and the flavors were solid. (4.5/5) Thai Style Beef Stew - First time trying this, and it was good. A bit different, but the meat chunks were tasty and the overall flavors were good. (4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal. Parking - Valet only, but they have street parking in front. I parked on the street since there were plenty of spots on a Wednesday, but I assume it gets busy on weekends.
