I'm back in Omaha for a quick business trip and was taken to Fleming's, a small steak chain on the same scale as Morton's.
Since it's a steakhouse, there is one thing to talk about: the beef - and here it was very well done. I had a 22 ounce bone-in ribeye cooked just the way I like it - on the rare side of medium rare. The perfectly prepared beef was joined by two potato sides and two vegetable sides. For the potatoes, we went with a parmesan mashed and a "Fleming's Potatoes" - an au gratin with jalapenos and cheddar. The veggies were sauteed spinach (not bad, but I have had much, much better) and some steamed mixed vegetables that looked a little limp and overcooked, so I declined to partake in them.
The highlight of the meal: the steak, hands down. The big miss: the "cappuccino" which was a barely passable cafe au lait (though I was warned that there were some problems with the cappuccino maker after receiving the coffee).
It's a good steak - one of the better ribeye steaks that I've had in a long, long while.
