USDA Prime steaks are the main attraction here, but there are also plenty of grilled seafood selections and salads. Tried-and-true appetizers include shrimp cocktail, French onion soup and fried calamari. And with 100 wines by the glass, it's easy to keep everybody happy, no matter what they order for dinner. Most top-end steak houses resemble men's clubs and cater to businessmen on expense accounts, but Fleming's has a softer, more elegant decor designed to appeal to couples.

Seared Ahi Tuna with Spicy Mustard Sauce: The tuna just melted in my mouth! And the spicy mustard made me gasp and tear up, but was delicious on the ahi. Basil Lemon Drop Martini: yum, yum and YUM!

Conversation momentarily ceases the moment the towering pyramid of onion rings hits your table at Fleming's. Then there's the hesitation: Do you dare disturb the architecture of the thickly sliced Vidalia onions and flaky, crunchy batter? Of course you do. This side dish is an excellent group treat, though you'll find you're muscling your way in past your tablemates to grab one of these nearly five-inch-wide golden-brown hoops, which are served with a zesty chipotle chili mayonnaise.

Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar These ain't your Jack in the Box fried rings. Fleming's stacks a towering plate about six inches high with fresh, thick slices of white onions fried lightly so they're crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The golden batter -- made from Japanese bread crumbs, garlic, salt, pepper and parsley -- offsets the sweetness of these choice onions. A chipotle mayonnaise dipping sauce adds a tasty zip to the rings, which are so big you'll need a knife and fork... More »

At $6.95, the tower makes a great appetizer for the whole table or just a nice snack for one. Try it... More »
