The Flame opened up a year after I was born. Growing up I remember every baby shower or bridal shower in the family was there. It was the place to go. It was the place you went for that special dinner. Where you went on that first date to impress your gal or just those times when you wanted a good steak. Men put on suits, and women dressed to the nines. Those days may be gone, along with the suits and the furs, but The Flame hasn’t changed, it’s a classic. It’s like taking a step back in time, the steaks are great the service world class. \r
The only difference is you leave with money still in your pocket. You don't have to choose, and pay, for your side dishes, they come with the meal. You can dress casual, or if you want get dressed up either way your still going to be treated to the same service and great food.\r
If you weren't lucky enough to have grown up in a time when the menu wasn't all ""al a carte"", and the drinks didn't cost you almost as much as your meal, you may think twice about going back to the ""new' age steak house they have today, where you are essentially being ripped off. If you like a good meal, great atmosphere, break out and try something ""new"" and go to The Flame you won't be disappointed. Unless of course you don't mind throwing your money away.\r
I hadn't been there in years, when some friends mentioned about going there, and was I happy they did. I now make sure to tell others, and take them, just to see the looks on their faces when they take that first bite. I recently mentioned it to some friends, and they were somewhat apprehensive thinking it might be a bit ""stuffy"" and old fashion. I reminded them that old fashion doesn’t mean without style, and as far as stuffy I told them the only ""stuffed"" they were going to feel was after eating a great meal.\r
