Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar

Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar Restaurant Review:

About an hour north of downtown Cincinnati in the city of Dayton, this steakhouse and wine bar, part of the chain co-founded by Paul Fleming --- the original “P.F.” in P.F. Chang's --- distinguishes itself with top-quality meats and a notable wine program. Expect a wine list featuring numerous hard-to-find American boutique selections as well as renowned national and international labels, with 100 wines by the glass, and an 80-label reserve list. The USDA Prime, hand-cut beef includes rib-eyes, filets and New York strips --- all seared by intensely high-heat cooking for a signature steakhouse outer crust. Sides include onion rings with smoked jalapeño aïoli, while a salad could mean a chilled wedge of iceberg lettuce with grape tomatoes, red onion and blue cheese dressing. Seafood, too, is well-thought-out, be it Australian lobster tails or tuna mignon with tomato-sherry vinaigrette. Finish with a familiar dessert: cheesecake, chocolate lava cake or crème brûlée.
