It's a small chain, but we'll list it because Birmingham doesn't have much in the way of locally owned, independent steakhouses -- and it's very good, although when we went several years ago, we thought their much-vaunted list of 100 wines by the glass was overpopulated with mass-market offerings you can find anywhere.

I have been enjoying Fleming's for years. The food is excellent and they always strive for superb service. I must mention that the Fleming's 100 wines by the glass has improved dramatically since they first opened. I have noticed lately lots of much smaller boutique wineries are on both the reserve list and the glass list. I highly recommend checking out Fleming's again if you haven't been in awhile.
My husband and I ate their last night and were not impressed at all. Greatly overpriced for the value of the food. I had the Beef Flemington and it was okay but not excellent. The filet was undercooked (rare, not medium rare)and squishy. My husband liked his lamb chops. Two of our dishes, the baked potato and charcuterie appetizer, were missing items listed on the menu (chives and pate, respectively). The baked potato was $6.50, ridiculous price for a $2.00 spud at best. We have eaten at the steakhouse next door (Village Tavern) and have enjoyed it much more.
