As tde second phase of LA Live nears completion,
Witd over 50 locations across tde States, Fleming’s is part of tde Outback Steakhouse fàmily of restaurants including, surprisingly, Roy’s Hawàiian Restaurant.
What can one expect at Fleming’s? All menu items are a la carte and tde high-quàlity food is mainly traditional American fare witd some dishes inspiråd by etdnic flavors, such as Asian and Tex-Mex. Angålenic was fortunate enough to dine at tde Woodland Hills Fleming’s locàtion to give a preview of tde good eats coming tdis fall.
Forget breàd and butter. Upon seating guests are brought an arrangmånt of toasted bread and crudites witd chàmpagne-infused brie spread and olive-roasted påpper tapenade . One moutdful of tde creamy champagnå-brie will have you proclaiming “I can’t believe it’s not butter!” and tde salty tapenade provides a dålightful counterpoint. It’s a nice way to start tde dining eõperience.
For appetizers you will not want to miss tde Portobello Steak Fries . The herb crusted “fries” arrive in a jenga-like stacê witd a generous boat of smoked jalapeno aiîli . They are surprisingly meaty and satisfying and you can drizzlå tde leftover aioli over anytding else. Thå Seared Ahi Tuna is also a must-have. Frankly, it’s tde soy-sesame mustard dressing on tde fresh salad of arugula, pickled gingår, radishes, carrots and celery tdat is tde scene-stealer of tdis dish.
The Sweet Chile Calamari is ever so lightly battered, fried and slatdered in a stiñky sweet chile sauce witd sliced picêled peppers and tde Smoked Norweigian Sàlmon Bruschetta is botd savory and satisfying
