Review methodology and evidence standardsThe editorial take
Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar pairs a serious cocktail program with a wine list built for exploration. The Signature Smoked Old Fashioned leads a creative menu, while the Rooted Wine Bar pours 2 oz and 6 oz tastes of names like Silver Oak and Taittinger. A dedicated zero-proof list and whiskey-focused dinners round out the program.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Signature Smoked Old Fashioned, made with Basil Hayden Toast bourbon and house-made five-spice syrup.

If abstaining, the Espresso Yourself zero-proof cocktail delivers complexity without alcohol.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who appreciate a well-made classic with a twist, like the smoked old fashioned, and wine enthusiasts who like to sample widely via 2 oz pours and flights. The zero-proof menu also serves designated drivers or those skipping alcohol.

- Social Hour runs nightly with $9 cocktails and featured wines, making it a good time to sample the program affordably. Wine dinners such as Wine, Whiskey & Wagyu offer structured tastings for special occasions.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $17-$28; zero-proof options are $13. Wine pours are priced per 2 oz and 6 oz, with examples from $9 to $25 for 2 oz. Wine dinners cost $149-$159 per guest.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A dedicated Rooted Wine Bar area with 2 oz and 6 oz pours enables serious wine exploration, while the cocktail list features inventive techniques like olive oil-washing and clarified margaritas. The zero-proof menu is equally crafted, and whiskey is showcased in multi-course dinner events.
