I had read many positive reviews about the Flame, but was a little leery due to its location in the less than swanky El Cortez. I was downtown for a little slot action and ended up at the El Cortez. The El Cortez has a character and vibe all it's own and is a fun place to play slots.
I saw the Flame and we decided to give it a shot. We were glad we did. The service was superb. Our waitress has been working there for 18 years and could not have been more enthusiastic about her job and the food.
For an appetizers shad crab cakes which were average, as was the iceberg salad. My better half had the cream of asparagus soup, which was very good.
For the entrees, I had the queen size prime rib. It was excellent, tender and cooked perfectly. It's not a gigantic serving, so those with a hearty appetite may elect the king size. My girl had the whitefish which she enjoyed very much. We shared two sides, garlic mashed potatoes and creamed corn. Both were excellent.
I will definitely go back. A very good meal, reasonably priced.
