Any reviews for The Flame @ ELCO?

Well, the original question was whether it was the best downtown. I don't think it is as good as Hugo's Cellar. I haven't been to Vic and Anthony's, but I would imagine that is a step up.

Having said that, I have eaten several meals at the Flame and have never been dissatisfied. I've had several steaks, the salmon, prime rib, the trout almandine, and the roasted chicken. The sides are terrific, too,especially the creamed corn. Have never had room left over for dessert. Even without a coupon, it's a good value. If you don't have a coupon, you can still eat for half-price by using your points if you're a Sapphire or higher level player.

The service has always been fine, and I enjoy it when the piano player is there. It's the way those of us who have only been going to LV for a few years imagine that it was like "back in the day".

Don't go there expecting Morton's. But then, you can eat twice there for the cost of one meal at Morton's.

tonyrob - They still honor the Restaurant.com certificates. We used one this past Sunday night for $50 off $100 spent. The food was very good and service was great.

Thanks

Is this the best steakhouse downtown? No but it is not far from being such. Solid comfort food. Large sides. Nice atmosphere . A terrific bargain if you have a coupon and very consistent in quality.

Thanks for the responses.
Will even be better with the 50% off ($30) coupon from LVA.

Come on over to Lvadvice.com where I will shortly be posting a trip report, which included a visit to the Flame.

This may or may not be the best steakhouse downtown, but it sure is in the running (and different people look for different things to define greatness).

One big tip. The ACG has a coupon as well, and if the bill is big enough to accommodate, they will combine (2 people with meals and drinks will get there easily) them. It works out to 50% up to $55.

Great point.

I have the ACG coupon, but I think it's not good for Fridays.

I ate there last May and it was OK. I wasn't overly impressed with my prime rib. My lady's fillet was spot on though. Value-wise it was a good deal and worth the $ though.
