great dining experience at the flame! we ordered the mediterranean platter as an appetizer and followed it with the chicken souvlaki skewers with greek salad, beef gyro wrap, and lemon potatoes on the side. everything was so delicious! reasonably priced, service was great, and restaurant is clean. can’t wait to come back :)

I had the Persephone's martini which was refreshing, the saganaki cheese which was very good, and the mixed plate of gyro meat, sausage, and lemon potatoes. It was all very tasty, I ended my meal with the Baklava cheesecake which was fantastic. Our waitress was great and our food came out fast. I would have given a 5 stars but I don't agree with the 3% credit card surcharge.

Great experience over all. The atmosphere Is fresh, clean, and colors and decore sleek / very home feeling. The have options for more intimate seating like booths or if your one who roles in a crowd. There's large tables for you too. Very accommodating overall. We enjoyed several dishes def need to try the spanakopita (flaky buttery crispy goodness). We had the gyro platter (def could feed two) and a chicken pita (juciy delicious seasoned chicken). Now let's get to the sides; salad def fresh no wilting and tomatoes as red as your sunburn on a hot day. We both opted for grilled veggies and let me tell you devoured them all ( tasty with a side of more please). Lastly I was feeling like I needed a drink and it didn't disappoint great pour and garnish for the win. Totally a great experience th

First time here and we loved it. Of course we had to get Saganaki and it was perfect! The Sea Bass was excellent and I highly recommend it. My wife loved the Pastitsio. We had such a great waitress, Ayris, she was so friendly and recommended some great dishes! We will be back!

This is our third experience at The Flame and it's honestly one of those places you leave feeling like you didn't mind spending $100 for two people. The food and drinks were exceptional. Old Fashioneds were great. I had chicken souvlaki and it was wonderful. Hubby had the gyro plate and he thought it was great! Lemon potatoes were also divine. Server's Jen and Erin were attentive and very friendly and professional. We will definitely return! Thanks for a great meal.
