Ambiance.... what a beautiful, and contemporary establishment you have. The 'fire wall, the lights the bar! Just excellent. Service was excellent...thankful for Dave... You have very friendly group that was sincere at welcoming us...Heard it from the initial phone call I made to check if reservations were needed to the moment Dave held the door open as we left because I assisted my father and had to hold him. Appreciate that. Now for the food. Simply worth the wait! We started with the abundant Hot Mezza Combination to offer my parents a variety since this was their first time to try the cuisine. Dad enjoyed it, mom love it, esp the baba ghanouj...we all did. All on the platter was perfect, esp the falafel, the light tender mixture was beautifully seasoned with the fresh green herbs (thinking parsley, dill?, mint AND the kibbeh. Enjoyed our entrees, Ouzi (described like beef wellington), 2 skewers of lamb, 2 skewers of beef) no room for dessert. The skewers were so tender and seasoned perfectly...rice & veggie were also perfect. What a great place to have celebrated my parent's 61st Anniversary! Just a small suggestion, to review your pricing, to get more people in the door. You have a beautiful place, incredibly amazing cuisine, and excellent team of servers, etc. Will be back, always read more

We originally stopped at Flames for an early dinner as we were attracted to all the good reviews. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived around 5p but filled up a bit more as we dined. We appreciated the interior of this restaurant being noticeably brighter compared to the other location in Vero, which is too dark. This Melbourne location seemed clean with an open kitchen to see the action. We started off ordering a hummus for the table. A couple of the plates they brought out looked dirty and unwashed (yikes!). Also, the pitas were not warm so we sent those back as well. Not off to a good start. Our server Donna was great though, and was fast, helpful and informative. Our orders of tenderloin and chicken kebobs were ok, the steak was a bit chewy. Entrees came with a house salad with lemon vinaigrette, veggies, rice and a bit of hummus.. those were good. I've had better Mediterranean so not sure if I'd return, especially with the dirty dishes. This just wasn't what I was hoping for, but it's slim pickings if you're looking for good restaurants around this area. read more

This place is classy yet laid back Lebanese restaurant wedged into Melbourne. They have a full bar with a lot of different drink options. Saturday nights around 7-7:30pm they have belly dancers. Our waitress, Kim was attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious the lentil soup was tasty in a nice big bowl served with crispy pita. Enough to call it a meal. The shrimp skewers were cooked over an open flame. For dessert the baklava with pistachio and Lebanese tea. They paired very well together. My only complaint would be the rice is a little too buttery. Everything was good though and I will definitely be returning. read more

Being greeted with a confident smile and a warm welcome was the sign that THEY knew that I was about to be impressed, and I was. Super-friendly staff, fun, funky decor and an upscale seating area that certainly surpassed expectations based on the shopping center they're in but what a joy to discover such a cool place. Open kitchen, comfortable seating, and, most of all, wonderfully delicious food. It's heavily, buy not overly, seasoned in the right ways that balance the flavors with the sides. Yeah, I'm coming back. read more

The kebabs were incredible. I got the shrimp kebabs and my husband got the salmon meshwe. 10/10 flavor! And the hummus is divine. We enjoyed our anniversary dinner with a live singer and nice dim lighting. Our waitress was very kind and helpful. Baklava for dessert is on point! read more

So sad another one bites the dust. How can you mess up a salad? Ambiance love this place but for the price service sucked and food did also. Very rarely do I not eat my salad but today was a day. Did the waitress care? No- no one checked on me when I asked for different dressing i got some ranch but what is the point of Greek dressing and you need ranch? I'm not even a fan of ranch but I was trying to salvage some of my $18 I spent on a salad. The Greek dressing tasted like pure vinegar with a few fluffs of oregano and they're very disappointing. I really used to love this place but the last few times had been disappointment. Today was horrific and I will not be back and no longer recommend read more

My wife and I returned for a nice Mediterranean dinner on Monday, 4-27. We were seated right away. Waiter immediately took our drink orders and provided menus. My wife ordered Farrouj Meshwi (LA-LA Chicken) (Grilled 1/2 baby chicken marinated with lemon, garlic and herbs, served with a side of garlic sauce on a bed of rice with Humus , salad and grilled vegetables), and I ordered Sayadieh Fish. (Pan-fried fresh snapper filet with olive oil, Herbs and lemon, topped with Tahini sauce with fried crispy Onions and pine nuts.) We also both had the Greek salad. Both entrees were very generous portions. The yellow squash, zucchini, and carrots were perfectly seared and very tasty. The presentation was excellent with a swath of hummus and falafel. Both were dishes were seasoned perfectly and tasted every bit as good as they looked. We have been to countries on the Mediterranean Sea coast. Flames is as close as it gets to native Med cuisine. We highly recommend Flames Mediterranean Bar & Grill for authentic Med cuisine in a nice atmosphere. read more

We came for dinner at my brother who lives in the area suggestion. Ordered the Shawarma Handheld. Oh my gosh! Off the chain good. I was groaning audibly. Dinner menu was $28, which at first I thought... wow, for a handheld. But dinner (unlike lunch) comes with a salad and three sandwiches not two. Lots of food, awesome fries with that too. Service was great. Live music wasn't too loud. Great evening. I will dream about this sandwich and be back! read more

My family and I had such a beautiful experience here. From the moment we walked in, Donna made us feel completely welcomed, like we were part of the family. Her warmth and kindness truly stood out and made the whole visit special. The food was absolutely wonderful, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell there's real love behind everything they serve. My wife, my son, and I all left happy and grateful we found this place. It's rare to find a restaurant where the hospitality is just as amazing as the food, but this place has both. Donna and the whole team treat everyone like family, and that kind of genuine service means a lot. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for such a memorable experience. read more

Flames Mediterranean Bar & Grille - Hummus, Calamari - Mediterranean Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

This was a one and done for us. We went for a late lunch on Saturday. No lunch menus are offered on the weekend. The prices are exorbitant $30 for chicken skewers and rice. Sandwiches were the same price. They barely put a smear of hummus on the plate but I didn't want more after tasting it. Overly seasoned. I'm Lebanese and it's never tasted spicy like that. Other than the hummus the food was good, just not worth the hefty price tag. We asked for more labneh because they don't give you nearly enough. Was charged for it at the end. Waitress was lovely but I feel we should have been told about the extra charge then and not when paying. As far as ambiance it's very modern with some nice decor elements. We were shivering- cold in there! Not sure this restaurant will last in this economy. We get better food at Celo's in Suntree for half the price. Want to give Cedar's cafe a try next. Onward and upward! read more

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. read more

Very good restaurant in Melbourne. Popular place. Servers very nice and helpful too. The grilled meats tasted great. Next time we would ask that they not put cream drizzle on the meats: its not needed. Salads were fresh and well sized, although maybe too much cheese read more

This is my favorite Mediterranean place. I splurge once a month here. Their shish Taouk is my go to.

Excellent food and service.. We did the trio of kabobs. Wow! Great food! The Dubai cheese cake was awesome!

Our first time ordering from Flames: two chicken plates for lunch delivery. One included fries and house salad, the other rice and house salad. The chicken was dry and burned, rice was lumpy, fries were extremely salty. The salads were unappealing and had mostly core and kale. Horrible experience, never again! read more

They hosted our birthday party of nine. Atmosphere here is laid back, but upscale. The wine selection was good, we ordered the one that our server recommended and it was spot on.

I definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

I came here for a quick lunch while visiting Melbourne and the food was amazing! I ordered the Shish Taouk with rice and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this dish.

Definitely recommend and love how all of the dishes are relatively healthy! read more

Flames is HOT! An exotic belly dance of intense flavors. A trip to a land of Mediterranean magic. Each bite a fired sensation of tastes, with pleasing embers of afterglow. Ahhhhhhhh... My premier visit opened a faraway world of cuisine right nearby. I shall return! Steve Martin, in the remake of The Pink Panther clumsily attempted to order a hamburger. "I would like to buy a 'ambur'ur, he said over and over again. Following his lead, I successfully ordered a 'Lamb Burger'! "I would like to buy a Lamb Burger'!" WOW! Absolutely off the charts! The pinnacle of pizzazz! The sweet succulence of lamb in a sinfully delicious bun wrapped handful! My gosh it was sooooooo good. This delight came with a smoosh of hummus, feta & tahini sauce, fries AND a fresh salad. Yes, this dish is 24 dollars. But when driving the culinary coast of the Mediterranean, I'd rather be driving a Ferrari than a Ford Falcon. The experience justifies the expense. Totally. This, is the kind of place you look FORWARD to visiting. Time and again. And introducing your friends to your good taste in dining. Enjoy! read more

The food, service and ambiance were all incredible! If you come here you need to try the potato appetizer!! To die for!!

Sadly, won't be back. The food wasn't bad, but for $30 pp, it wasn't anything special. Seriously, $24 for 4 falafel balls, some rice and veggies? I don't care if you grew them yourself, not that special. The lamb was a bit over spiced, so you lost the lamb flavor. And again, $29 for 7 1/2 chunks of lamb. Great server, but she is powerless if the kitchen is slow. It wasn't even crowded. I swear I thought they sent out for it. They have been around for two years. I wish you many more, but without me. read more

Enjoyed the ambiance which was nice, except loud given the concrete floor. Food was very good. But the service was a cluster-f. Two couples, two served in a reasonable amount of time, the third was very late by 20 minutes and the fourth by nearly 30 minutes. Completely unacceptable. Won't be back.

Pretentious and overpriced. The overhead music in the dining area is too loud and should be reserved for the bar section. The restroom ran out of toilet tissue and was not restocked for the duration of my dinner - thankfully I had wet wipes on hand. The food was seasoned with too much salt and not much else. It was difficult to eat, but for $30/person you want to try to get your moneys worth :-/ The side of hummus was just a smear on the plate :-( smallest portion I've ever seen. There could be potential for improvement, but staff was unwilling to accept negative feedback and instead made excuses for these shortcomings. My husband & I didn't feel welcome. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

Went for a meeting and brunch. Group of about 30. First food delivered and last about an hour and a half later. I had greek platter. Asked for no feta. Meat was thin and tasted like cardboard. Value should have had more meat. Only one small piece os pita bread. Feta all over salad. Many mistakes in food. Waitress staff was nice and understanding. Would have replaced but I lost my appetite and didn't know how much longer I would have had to wait. Not a good time food wise. read more
