Here comes the bitching already…
what is this, that crappy yelp site?
“My filet mingnon was charred and my husbands new york strip was charred as well. ” - oh poor baby…
piss off, nobody cares about your filet lady, this site is not for bitching about a crappy steak, get over it! People like you annoy me… nothing better to do than complain about a $12 cut of meat on the internet.
GET A JOB AND A LIFE!!!!!

My husband and I just had dinner at the Flemings in Memphis and were highly dissapointed. My filet mingnon was charred and my husbands new york strip was charred as well. The salad dressings were incorrect and it was very pricey. Our meal for us both was $170.00 and the only extra was a glass of wine.

I love this chain, its got a softer quality to it than a mortons or chris ruth, I usually travel to El Sugundo so having one a short drive away will be great, just hope I get to go to the opening!

“For those of you that find comfort in a predictable meal at every off-ramp, well “enjoy.”

I eat at some of the best restaurants in the country, so please don’t speak for me.

Bouchon, Babbo, Eleven Madison, Momofuku, Melisse, Union, Spruce, etc. etc. etc.

Downtown is big enough for everyone. Food snobs, like you and me, can hit up the tasting menus with wine pairings at Water Grill, Patina, Wolfgang’s new resto with Kris Morningstar, and Blue Velvet. Drago and Cimarusti are coming, and Goin is not far behind. Who knows, Splichal might even open ANOTHER restaurant downtown to add to his 3-4 already here. Rivera sounds like a great concept, Provecho is owned by Gabriel, so that should be fairly good (if you ignore his time at Republic). All that being said, every building and new building is trying to recruit top chefs to open up great restaurants.

I admit, I am more of a JAR, Craft, or CUT steakhouse kind of guy, but I can appreciate the fact that Flemings has its place and a product that strikes a chord with many diners.

Once again, downtown has enough room for EVERYONE. There is massive amounts of space left.

When chains really take over, then I will begin complaining.

Oh yeah…..and it’s a chain.

Can we limit our excitement about chain restaurants please?

Another EXPENSIVE place downtown. It might be great for conventions and execs, but come on, are we supposed to eat here on a weekly basis.

Where do you guys get all this money to blow on dinners like this regularly? With $2K in rent or $3K in mortgage + HOA, I just do not get it.

Are people just using living off their credit cards??????

DTLA is a damn pretty interesting place to live…but there’s still a lot of empty spaces to fill.

Some people seem to feel their neighborhood should be some sort of exclusive club, where outsiders who don’t know the secret handshake aren’t allowed entrance. Not me, I’m all for getting folks from surrounding areas pouring their money into our neighborhood. That doesn’t mean the mom & pop shops will get run out of town if the locals support them regularly.

Bottom line: the food looks yummy. Bring it.

For those of you that find comfort in a predictable meal at every off-ramp, well … enjoy.

But I do wonder how the creation of a Universal City Walk in downtown Los Angeles will benefit those already living here. More price-inflated condos and chain restaurants will ensure the future of DT will be the Santa Monica promenade.

Or maybe that’s the point?

Did you move to DT because you hope it will become something else entirely, or did you move here because it’s already a pretty damn interesting place to live?
