This week enjoy dinner at Fleming's Steakhouse:

"If Boston’s steakhouses ran a “carnivore derby”, this “straightforward” Park Square chain-link would “place third or fourth” contend the “bon vivants” “surprised” at the “value” its “fine beef” and “ample sides” yield, as well as by a “spectacular” array of wines by the glass; but a handful of opponents wager that from the “heavy wood” and “white linens” to the pre-“theater crowds” and folks on “business tabs”, it’s all too “generic” to enter the league." - Zagat.com

"Boston is constantly gaining steakhouses, but they're not always worth the bucks. Enter Fleming's, owned by the same people behind nearby P.F. Chang's China Bistro. In a prime space that links the Theater District with Park Plaza, this chain contender packs quite a visual punch. The dining room manages both swank and class with shades of crimson and amber, lots of leather and an open kitchen. The menu lists the standard collection of sirloins, New York strips and filets, and the meat is of high quality. Sides have interesting twists---take chipotle mac 'n' cheese or creamed corn with Parmesan and Gruyère. Seafood, too, is unexpectedly well-thought-out, be it lobster tempura with two sauces or rare seared tuna au poivre with poppy seeds and tomato-sherry vinaigrette. Fleming's manages to pull all of this off without being nearly as pricey as its competition. The rub? Aside from the unshakeable corporate aura, smaller portions. But that's actually a relief for today's savvy diners---especially when they consider the desserts, not to mention the top-notch wine program that targets both the casual sipper (with 100 wines by the glass) and the rarity-seeking connoisseur (with a reserve list)." - Gayot.com
