FLEMING’S FOR ROMANCE, EASTER & MOTHER’S DAY!
04.07.11
By Sheryll Alexander
Need to take your beloved on a date or need a place for Easter or Mother’s Day brunch? We love Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar in Newport Beach’s Fashion Island as a great place for romance or tasty holiday meals.
“Memorable Meal” for Two
Through May 5, Fleming’s is offering a reasonably-priced prix fixe dinner for two ($125 for two). The three-course meal starts with a fresh spring salad, but the star of this romantic supper is a roasted Chateaubriand a deux with with black truffle bordelaise and lobster en fuego. Couples also share sides of French green beans and parmesan-peppercorn mashed potatoes. The meal ends with a sweet-and-savory warm pineapple tart. For just $39, you can add a bottle of one of Fleming’s favorite Cabernet blends (Francis Coppola Diamond Collection or 2008 Claret California Black Label). Ask for Memorable Meal menu.
Easter Brunch
On Sunday, Apr. 24, all Fleming’s locations open early at 11:30 a.m. for a three course brunch menu, which is offered until 3 p.m. The special brunch menu costs $32.95 per person ($15.95 for children’s brunch menu), plus the traditional à la carte menu is available as well. The Fleming’s Bellini cocktail is served all day on Easter for just $6.95.
Mother’s Day Brunch
Just around the corner on May 8, Mother’s Day is the perfect time to host your family for a relaxing Sunday brunch (same hours, prices and menu as Easter brunch above apply). Instead of a Bellini, however, Fleming’s is shaking up a 99-calorie cocktail called The Tickled Pink. And as a gift from Fleming’s, every mother who celebrates at Fleming’s receives a $25 Fleming’s Dining Card (valid from May 9-June 12, 2011) to use for a future evening out.

Peter, Bjorn and John in OC
04.06.11
Peter, Bjorn and John, one of Greer's favorite bands, is headed to the Detroit Bar in June.
The three-piece, which has appeared at international festival and graced Southern California with its presence at Coachella in years past, will perform at the "comfortable Silverlake-meets-OC style setting with a reputation for top-notch, progressive musical programming" on June 4 - a far cry from the hot tents and dust-filled fields of Indio.
Performances by the Swedish indie rock band include guitars, harmonica, keyboards and haunting vocals that you can't help but learn the words and sing along to (you may know them best for the whistle in "Young Folks").
The show, almost guaranteed to sell out, is only $20 per ticket and you must be 21 or over to attend.
