TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The new Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar's opens its doors to the community on Sept. 9.

SIGHT | Drawing inspiration from Napa Valley, Guests will find a grand sense of entry with a dramatic porte-cochere and striking 16-ft floor to ceiling glass windows that flood the space with natural light. A remarkable glass wine vault that houses 2,500 bottles from around the world is situated at the center of the restaurant, behind the new Rooted Wine Bar by Fleming's.

TOUCH | Mixed textiles add a feeling of warmth and luxury from the soft cork wallpaper featured at the wine bar. The custom embroidered seating with Fleming's signature 'F' emblem adds an element of texture and the premium semi-serrated steak knives hold the ideal balance of weight.

SMELL | A new branded signature scent, Newport at Night, is infused throughout the restaurant. It is named after the cool, coastal nights that surround Fleming's first restaurant in Newport Beach, CA, and has an alluring blend of salted santal, woody greens, jasmine, sage, and amber. 

TASTE | Several new menus - the Dinner Menu, Lunch Menu, a new Social Hour and Bar Menu - all featuring a depth of distinct flavors, expertly curated by Chef Partner Brandon Grady, who has been with Fleming's for more than 10 years. New and notable for dinner: A5 Japanese Wagyu, Australian Wagyu with a tableside Shaved Black Truffle, Gorgonzola Gnocchi, local Gulf Grouper, and fresh Bedford Scallops. This Tampa Flagship will introduce Rooted Wine Bar by Fleming's that offers an elevated wine pairing menu, customizable wine flights, guided wine tastings hosted by an expert Wine Steward. Small plates such as an Imperial Kaluga Caviar Service, Lobster Ravioli and fresh Oysters with bourbon barrel smoked trout roe can be found here.

SOUND | Guests can enjoy live music from a rotation of talented local musicians, offering lively beats that complement dinner every night. The main full-service bar will have a Social Hour from 3-6pm daily, along with bar bites and hand-crafted cocktails in an adjacent lounge with cozy soft-seating.

"This is a special moment for Fleming's – this spectacular new restaurant embodies our brand's relaxed luxury philosophy, infused with superior culinary offerings, expanded wine experiences and unrivaled hospitality," said Sheilina Henry, President of Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.
