Loved our experience at The Flame! The staff was super friendly, the atmosphere was amazing, and the food was absolutely delicious. The lamb chops and sea bass were standouts. Definitely a great find!

The food at this restaurant was absolutely outstanding — every bite was packed with flavor and freshness. But what really made the experience unforgettable was Justin, whose exceptional service and warm personality took our visit to the next level. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!!!

This was one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Tucked in DeKalb, Illinois, I never expected to find such a treasure. The sauces were top notch, the food was amazing, and our waiter made us feel like the most important people in the place. I only wish we had a place like this in NC! 100% go there!
