The Dishes
The star of the meal was undoubtedly the Australian Carrara Wagyu Filet Mignon, cooked medium rare in Fleming's 1600 degree broiler. The reviewer was visibly impressed by how juicy and tender this cut was, noting that it didn't require any enhancement from sauteed mushrooms or flavored butters. The meal began with several appetizers including ahi tuna poke served with milk bread topped with lavender butter, a couple of salads, and a traditional French onion soup. Among the sides, the chipotle cheddar mac and cheese emerged as a standout favorite, though the reviewer emphasized not to skip the sweet corn brulee. The reviewer's son ordered a bone-in ribeye with mushrooms on top, which was also cooked to perfection and received high praise.
The Experience
The visit took place on National Filet Day at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse, creating a special occasion atmosphere. The reviewer clearly felt welcomed and excited about trying one of the restaurant's signature dishes on this dedicated day.
Value & Pricing
No specific pricing information was mentioned in the transcript, though the upscale nature of the establishment and premium Wagyu cuts suggest a higher price point typical of fine dining steakhouses.
