You know you have had a great meal when your mouth is still watering the next day every time you think back to the meal. This was the case for me after eating at Flemings on Saturday night. Flemings is a steakhouse and wine bar located in Lincolnshire.
When we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted with free valet parking which is always a plus. We were able to sit down within a few minutes of arriving. Being a wine bar they have over 100 wines offered on their menu and they also had suggested wines to order based on the meal you were getting which is helpful since we aren’t wine savvy. They also have a drink menu with a lot of martini’s and other fun drinks. Luke ordered a glass of Pinot Noir and I decided to go with a Classic Margarita with salt.
The meal starts out with warm bread and a really good sun dried tomato butter spread. Flemings has a large menu, however, they also have what they call a “Trio” menu where you can pick a salad, a choice of three main courses, a side and a dessert for a very reasonable price. We both decided to go with this option. We also ordered their Sweet Chile Calamari appetizer which we both loved. We order calamari as an appetizer a lot at restaurants and this one was great because it had a unique taste and flavor.
For our “Trio” meals, we both chose the spinach salad as our starter. This was spinach, tomatoes, bacon, onion and cheese with balsamic dressing. It was delicious. I chose to get the scallops as my main course which was served over orzo pasta with a really good sauce. I had green beans with almonds as my side. I loved my meal. Luke went with the peppercorn crusted filet which came with a few small pieces of fried cheese and the mushrooms as a side. He really enjoyed the filet and I have to admit it was pretty amazing as well.
We both ended our meal with Banana Crème Brule. This came with a side of homemade whipped cream. All I can say is WOW. The dessert was wonderful. I love Crème Brule, however, I have never had it with bananas on top and it was delicious, especially with the whipped cream.
At the end of our meal, the waiter came to take our valet ticket so that when we left the restaurant our car was already waiting for us out front…how great is that!? Luke and I both noticed and commented on how great the service was. Everyone we encountered was very professional and truly made our dining experience better. Our waiter knew the menu well, was able to give us suggestions and brought us our food quickly (which I always like!). There were so many nice touches like the hostess putting the napkins on us, bringing out a cold fork to eat our salad with, etc. We really enjoyed ourselves and left feeling very full and satisfied!
