Have eaten here 3 times and unfortunately each time was underwhelming. The menu is typical italian restaurant offerings that unfortunately are under seasoned and bland. On our last visit we ordered veal caprese and chicken milanese. The food was at our table within 5 minutes of ordering. Im not sure if everything is precooked and they just heat it but that is not a good dining experience for me. The decor is the same as when this location was Republic with the addition of white table cloths that look a little off in a restaurant that was previously a casual rustic aesthetic.

I had a charming time dining at Flames; they have a great space and good food.

I’m not sure about the haters, but my friends/family and I visited Flames last night and was blown away. I have a very picky 13 year old and Mike personally came over to speak to us to accommodate absolutely anything we could want. This made for a VERY happy teenager! The service throughout the night was spot on and we all tried a few different dishes… each one better than the next, right down to dessert!

A similar yet new vibe to the old, much beloved Republic Kitchen. Thankfully we made reservations as we witnessed a few people walking in without a reservation and not being able to dine here, the restaurant was packed! The service was fantastic, pleasant attentive wait staff and innovative takes on cuisine. The cowboy steak was a definite hit and the crab cakes on point. Limoncello & another digestif were offered on the house. A wonderful dining experience!

You’re not going to find a better restaurant in CT. The food, service, atmosphere… all of it. If you want a place you’ll remember, this is it.

Been here once before for drinks only. 1st time having food. Holy smokes! The service was IMPECCABLE!!! They knew what you wanted before you actually did! Michael Rugova must be known for this as the service at Goodfellas is the same! We were given fresh bread & good quality olive oil for dipping. Started w/their calamari & asked for the balsamic and marinara dips on the side to try. Both were excellent. Calamari was cooked well, not chewy at all. Got the chicken milanese. It was very flavorful, juicy & the breading was not overcooked or greasy. The arugula topping was great, fresh & not over dressed. Also got the chicken piccata which came w/mashed potatoes & sautéed garlic spinach. Everything was super delicious, except the texture of the chicken was “weird”. Hard to explain, but the mouth-feel of it was like it was boiled, which was a bit off-putting. The piccata sauce was buttery & lemony. Make sure you save some bread for dipping! Yum!! Spinach had just the right amount of garlic – not overpowering, but flavorful. Potatoes were creamy, but lacked some seasoning. We were offered a complimentary taste of their either their homemade limoncello or Sambuca – picked limoncello & it was outstanding! Just enough “zing” that you know it’s alcohol, but still very drinkable, sweet & lemony. Finished off w/creme brulee & limoncello cake. Brulee was great – velvety smooth, but I wish the inside was a bit warmer (personal pref) – oh, I still ate the whole thing, don’t worry! The cake was very good too. Wasn’t heavy & almost tasted like the lemon cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. Slice was a little small for $10, but still yummy. I can’t stress enough how great everything was, especially the service! Please give Flames Restaurant a try, you won’t be disappointed…we weren’t!!

My husband and I gave this local place a try last night and had a lovely experience sitting at the bar. I ordered the house special, the flames octopus and it was without a doubt the best octopus I’ve ever had. Incredibly tender, and beautifully paired with potatoes, onions, broccolini and slightly pickled peppers for a touch of acidity. Definitely a dish I’d come back for.

The food is outstanding and the service was on-point. When I called to make the reservation, the owner picked up. When I asked for a florist recommendation so that I could have flowers delivered to our table (it was my wife’s birthday), he offered to send someone to pick up a bouquet for her – wow!!! What an amazing restaurant!

What a great addition to the area. The food and service were excellent from apps to dessert! Prices are very reasonable as well. My Chicken Martini was so tender, moist and delicious. My husband enjoyed the Shrimp Fra Diavolo! The Banana Caramel Xango for dessert was also very good! The complimentary, homemade Sambuca with desert is smooth and delicious. Definitely worth the visit. We will be returning again and again.

Tasty, well prepared food. Service was very good, waiters were busy keeping diners happy. Pleasant atmosphere but we need to start and standardize rating restaurants for their acoustical comfort. How dining tolerant should one be before we can’t hear each other talk at a “normal” timber? Fine dining is better enjoyed when accompanied by soothing noise levels.
