- AAliChicago / Illinois •1 review4.0Dined todayWent here for my 17th birthday, service is amazing and is a beautiful place. Steak was delicious, sides are a huge serving so i recommend deciding on a table shared side. My party of 3 could’ve easily shared one of any side. appetizer lobster voodoo was extremely different than your usual lobster, large serving. Best strawberry lemonade ever let me tell you! My chocolate cake came with a lit candle and was wished a happy birthday many times throughout the restaurant. Crème brûlée was the best me and my mom have ever had! overall, great place for a special occasion but probably just for an occasion.More infoRuth's Chris Steak House - West Des MoinesPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• West Des Moines•4.6

- LLynnIowa •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoWe had a wonderful social hour meal at Flemings in West Des Moines, Iowa. From starting with our high top table in the bar, the service was excellent, our food was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Our experience eating at Fleming Steakhouse was again once everything we have come to expect from a first rate restaurant. We’ll definitely be back.More infoFleming's Steakhouse - Des MoinesPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• West Des Moines•4.8
