"Sunday Brunch always brings back memories of great family get-togethers and traditional dishes," said Russell Skall, Fleming's Executive Chef who created the menu. "There are four excellent entrees, but my favorites are the Filet Mignon Benedict and the New Orleans-Style French Toast—both modern classics that don't get any better."

For the Benedict, tender filet mignon is cooked to order, topped with impeccably poached eggs, then crowned with buttery bearnaise sauce tasting of fresh lemon, shallots, and tarragon. Fleming's New Orleans-Style French Toast is made from thick slices of rich brioche bread soaked in Grand Marnier-flavored cinnamon batter, then cooked in butter until crisp and golden brown on the outside with a velvety interior. A generous dollop of housemade chantilly cream and fresh berries make for a decadent topping. Shrimp or Filet Frittata and a Steakhouse Filet Mignon Cobb Salad round out the main course offerings. Guests start with Fleming's signature Wedge Salad or a Fresh Fruit Medley, and desserts don't disappoint, with choice of Creme Brulee, White Chocolate Bread Pudding or Walnut Turtle Pie.

The children's menu for those under 12 begins with a fresh fruit salad followed by four kid-pleasing entrees, a sundae or sorbet for dessert and includes a beverage.

A brunch cocktail, the Blood Orange Fizz, has been created by Maeve Pesquera, Fleming's Director of Wine, and is priced at only $6.95. Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur, Stoli Vodka, fresh lemon juice and a splash of club soda is served on the rocks.
