First Impression

Fleming's leads with the number — 100 wines by the glass — and it's genuinely hard not to be impressed by the ambition. That said, once you start scanning the list, it skews heavily toward crowd-pleasing American labels rather than anything that'll make you lean forward. It's a wine program built for a table of ten with different opinions, not a couple of wine nerds hunting for something interesting.

Selection Deep Dive

The list is dominated by familiar California names — Caymus adjacents, Josh Cellars, and the kind of bottles you recognize from the grocery store endcap. That's not a crime, but at a steakhouse billing itself as a wine bar, you'd hope for a little more reach into Bordeaux, Barolo, or even a Washington Cab to shake things up. Perrier-Jouët makes an appearance on the sparkling side, which is a solid call for a celebratory pour. The breadth is real, but the depth is shallow — it's wide, not interesting.

By the Glass

One hundred by-the-glass options is the whole pitch here, and Fleming's delivers on raw volume. The glass pours we found pricing on are clustered around the $9 mark, which is genuinely accessible for a steakhouse setting. Rotation and seasonal updates aren't evident from available data, so don't count on discovering something new on your third visit.

💰Best Value

Hayes Ranch Sauvignon Blanc — $9

At $9 a glass with a retail price of $10 a bottle, this is essentially cost pricing — a rare moment where the house isn't padding the margin. It's not a complex wine, but for a casual opener while you wait for your steak, it's hard to argue with the math.

💎Hidden Gem

Perrier-Jouët

Most people at a steakhouse aren't reaching for Champagne, but Perrier-Jouët on a list this accessible is worth flagging. It's one of the more elegant houses in the game and tends to get overlooked when there's a ribeye on the table — don't let it.

Skip This

Sea Sun by Caymus Chardonnay

At $9 a glass on a bottle that retails for $18, you're paying full bottle price for a single pour. That's a 100% markup, which is steep even by restaurant standards, especially for a label that's more brand recognition than wine quality.

🍽️Perfect Pairing

Pebble Lane Pinot Noir + Fleming's Signature Petite Filet

A filet doesn't need a heavy red — it needs something with enough fruit and structure to complement the tenderness without bulldozing it. Pebble Lane Pinot at $9 a glass fits that role without putting a dent in your dinner bill.

✔️ The Bottom Line

Fleming's Providence is a reliable wine stop for steakhouse standards — the 100-glass program is genuinely convenient, and the pricing on several pours is surprisingly fair. It's not a destination for wine lovers, but it won't embarrass you on a work dinner either.
