My husband and I spent $275 at Fleming’s Steakhouse. The pricey restaurant was better suited for business dinners than date nights.

• My husband and I visited Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar for a date night.
• The 20-ounce Prime bone-in ribeye was a splurge at $72, but it was cooked to perfection.
• Most of our food was delicious, but at $275, we didn’t feel our meal was worth the high price tag.

I’m always excited to try a new restaurant, especially when I know there’s a high-end meal involved. So, for a recent date night, my husband and I went to Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar.

The restaurant has about 60 locations across the US, including in cities like Los Angeles, Dallas, Nashville, and Atlanta. We went to the location in Providence, Rhode Island, which is attached to the Omni Hotel.

The original Fleming’s opened in California and is now owned by Bloomin’ Brands, Inc., which is the parent company of Outback Steakhouse, Aussie Grill by Outback, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, and Bonefish Grill.

However, the parent company’s sales have been rocky since the beginning of 2023, so I was curious to see if the meal would actually match the restaurant’s high-end reputation.

Here’s what our steak-house dinner was like.
