WOW, now THIS is YUM!!! Exceptional service, wine selection, food, tastes, ambiance... I can't say anything bad about it, but BOOK EARLY, because the dining room is small and diners in the know will fill the space quickly!! Charming, delicious, fresh, chic, impressive. A definite YUM...FLEMINGS is a perfect example of a GREAT dining experience!!!!! enjoy! In sharp contrast to our experience (above) we also dined at Flemings (Coral Gables) recently.

A few weeks ago we tried CHEF ALLENS (in Adventura) thinking it would be an incredible experience after hearing and reading so many accolades about the place (and about the chef) over the years. wooooo... were we WRONG!!! Everything about the place-- the food, the service, the ambiance and the chef (who we met briefly) were less than impressive!!! The food was acceptable, but NOTHING recommendable. We took friends to be impressed and left feeling embarrassed!!! The service was average (to be nice) and the food followed suite... disappointingly! a soggy vegetable starter, bland tastes, whole shrimp in wine sauce (tasty-- but with head/legs still present) and an inquiry of our dessert interests BEFORE our dinner ever arrived!!! The chef showed up shyly to say hi, but even his presence was lacking enthusiasm. I don't know... but I would question what all the fuss has been about. NOTHING to write home about at Chef Allens!!! With so many fantastic dining choices out there this is definitely ONE TO SKIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry chef, just stating the absolute truth!!
