Flames Mediterranean Bar & Grille

Their food is authentic and delicious. I have booked both my mother & mother-in-laws 70th and 71st birthday parties here. My husband and I have eaten here on multiple occasions. You will not be disappointed.

The ambiance here is unmatched in Melbourne. Between the live music, elegant decoration and personable staff, not much is left to be desired. The owners are very involved in daily operations and frequently venture out of the kitchen to meet with dining patrons. While the menu is large, and can be intimidating, every option I've tried so far has beat my expectations. 10/10 I would recommend for a great night out.

Driving by this place everyday, I have ignored my intuition to pay them a visit. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!
Our waitress, Dee, was so passionate about her job! She was personal, informative, educational and made wonderful recommendations. She is a true gem that anyone would be lucky to employ or have wait their table.

To know that everything is made from scratch and only from the best ingredients (many imported) really showed in the presentation and taste!

The drinks are true works of art. Hand crafted cocktails with unique and hard to find ingredients that truly tantalized the mind and tongue.

The appetizers of bread with many dipping spices and sauces was a beautiful start to this food adventure.

The cheese rolls were crisp and the inside was gooey and again, so unique! Not your average cheese roll but in a good way.

The soup was HEAVY on lemon. Almost too much, but still refreshing and worked well with the "chips" to scoop into.

The kabobs... let's just talk about meat for a second!
The tenderloin was just melt in your mouth incredible, with amazing spices and tons of flavor and so juicy (I ordered mine rare)
The chicken kabobs were equally juicy, seasoned and that garlic sauce needs to go into a bottle! WOW!!

The hummus had a kick. It was so creamy but had a hint of pepper..? Whatever it was, I want it daily.

The rice was fluffy and buttery and truly you can't ask for more in good rice.

Even the salad was art! A beautiful tomato carved into a rose with yet again, so much flavor it was hard to stop but knowing the main course was around the corner gave me the will power to push it aside to take home.

Flames is a fine dining experience, with a knowledgeable and friendly staff and beautiful decor that makes what your eyes take in, a very happy place.

A hidden gem. Both the food and service here were fantastic. Hands down the best babaganoush I've ever had.

We were seated promptly and several servers checked on us over the course of our meal. The interior is chic. It felt upscale, but because the restaurant resides in a somewhat rundown strip mall, I suspect a lot of people overlook it. I did like the interior but I do suggest it's time for the Christmas trees to come down.

The dishes were had were well seasoned and perfectly cooked. We had the lentil vegetarian dish and the kefta shish. I would order both again. The cold meze appetizer was great. Some of the best stuffed grape leaves ever.

Overall a very tasty experience and I will definitely come again.

Food was excellent, service was fantastic. Live music was nice, created a good mood.

The chicken shish lunch option was delicious, it comes with fries and hummus. The dinner fare is pretty expensive at $20-30 per entree, but I'm sure it's delicious. Service was quite fast for lunch.

Ambiance was fire. They really make this place quite trendy and cool. There was live music with a very talented singer. The server was very friendly and did a great job describing the dishes. All members of our party enjoyed their dishes. My salmon skewer was delicious. The salad dressing on my salad was a little overbearing. I recommend getting the dressing on the side. It's a cool place to have an evening out.

Food was really great! And the restaurant itself is beautiful! We will go back and try more items!

Found this jewel while traveling from Jacksonville to Miami stopped for lunch after finding on Yelp! Mediterranean food sounded good and only a short ways away from 95 S! In a little plaza a fairly expansive venue including outdoor seating. We ventured in for lunch and were immediately greeted by hostess/server Georgia from Long Island. Super friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered Kibby, Falafel and salad! Phenomenal choices with the best Caesar 1/2 salad ever. Paired with A glass of Chardonnay & a Fig mule fun & delish! The Jasmin rice was the best we've ever had- even asked for the recipe - but a no go to capture that one !! We will be back. And sweetly the mgr. was present upon our exit and kindly thanked us as well.

Wow, wow, WOW! We had the cheese rolls and they are the best we've ever had. It is made fresh and you can definitely taste the goodness. Our entrees were just as delicious. We were excited for every bite. But, the dessert...oh...my..GAWD! Their dessert--called Nights of Lebanon-- was spectacular!!! The ambiance is top-notch and the service is superb. A special shout out goes to Nico and Alina who provided us a wonderful experience and to the owner, Carla who graciously thanked us for coming.

We are coming back to this restaurant and we're bringing LOTS of friends with us!
