Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar - San Diego, University Center Lane

Fleming's Prime Steakhouse has set new standards, raising the bar for excellence in steakhouses by winning awards for their food, wine and service. While prime beef is king, their exclusive wines are in the race for top spot too.

The staff at Fleming's believe there is an art to eating well, so their steaks are carefully marbled for four weeks, their flavor enhanced with salt and pepper and then cooked at very high temperature to seal their juices. Some of the star attractions are double thick pork rib chop baked with apple cider creole mustard, julienne of apples and celery root and the chef's mixed grill selection prepared daily may capture the attention of hearty eaters. Seared scallops are served with a lobster cream sauce and a puff pastry of sautéed vegetables, while tuna mignon is seared rare with poppy seed au poivre and tomato sherry vinaigrette.

Fleming's has the rare distinction of offering over a hundred wines by the glass. True connoisseurs, they offer well known as well as exclusive boutique wines served at optimum temperatures. They help guests take a step towards becoming more knowledgeable, by inviting them to sample trios of two ounce servings in individual carafes and compare them, during their wine flights.
