By far the best steakhouse experience I have had in the valley. Not stuffy like Morton's, Ruth's Chris, or Donovans. This is a lively place with a genuinely hospitable staff and and exciting ambiance with an open kitchen. Some say it is too loud, get a life, the open forum design is lively and adds to the experience. We dined out last weekend at the busiest time, but the hostess handled the mob graciously. Our server truly made the evening. He navigated us through one of the best wine lists I have ever seen and after trying a flight of three 2 oz. glasses of his favorites, we found the perfect bottle for our dinner. Our entire meal was ordered according to our servers recommendations and you could tell thathe enjoyed the responsibility of impressing us. We started with the Cajun Shrimp appetizer, dellicious! Followed that with a spinach and portobello salad which he had split in the kitchen because he didn'e want to spoil our appetites. That was the perfect cool down and build up for the main course. Upon return fro the restroom I found my table neatly maintained with the crumbs all gone and my napkin refolded, it was a nice touch. Then came the good stuff. Bone-In NY Strip charred med rare...Best steak I can remember ever having. A delicate 12 oz. filet mignon ""Oscar Style"" which is topped with bernaise,asparagus, and fresh lump crab meat. Accompanying these world class steaks were the wonderful fleming's scalloped potatoes, boldly flavored sauteed mushrooms, and crisp grilled asparagus. Wow! Wow! Wow! Everything was incredible. Even though you could tell that our server was very busy he made sure everything was, and I quote, ""PERFECT"" What a lofty expectation, but I could honestly say that it was. We capped off this memorable meal with a pairing of port and a signature chocolate lava cake. From first impression to last, Fleming's on Scottsdale and Lincoln really shines! I will be back with friends in the very near future to enjoy this distinguished establishment.
Pros: great service, serious steak, wonderful appetizers, best wine list
