This is a genuinely great and classic place. The original was in Lincoln Park, and was the Gibson's of it's time. A happening place where celebs could be seen. The countryside location (just as old) keeps the quality and charm of the original. The food is incredible. You will never have a bad meal here. Everything's fresh and well-prepared. It is not as popular now, mostly regulars, seniors, and people that remember the original, however it still does great buisness and is a historic name in Chicago dining. I would take the Flame over Gibson's/Morton's ANY day.
Pros: Excellent food, Great live piano, classic feel
Cons: slow service (mainly, because of the lack, of food-runners)
