text: We went to the Flame because it earned Desert Companions best downtown steakhouse award.  And it earned it.  \n\nNow let's stArt with this: it's downtown people, it's not the strip.  It's not a celebrity chef, it's not a sparkly new hotel.  It's old Vegas and I am down with it!\n\nThe prices can't be beat for a steakhouse.  I started with the garbage salad and I highly recommend it.  It's iceberg with artichokes, kalamata olives, mozzarella and salami with a lemon vinegarette.  My friend had the wedge and the dressing was delightfully garlicky.\n\nNext came the filet mignon with bernaise.  As good as I have had.  For sides we got the Mac and cheese and onion rings.  \n\nNow, at six bucks the desserts are cheap, but next time I will skip them.  Nothing worth writing about.\n\nOn Friday there is generally a coupon in the Neon section of the paper for a free bottle of wine....take advantage!!!
