Phoenix Flame

Wow just wow. This place was randomly found on Google and glad that we found this little hidden gem! The food is amazing. Had the Grilled Octopus and the Martinez Cups. Perfect portions. The lambchop dinner was amazing the lamb was made to perfection and the fries soak up the juices no ketchup needed 😋 and let me tell you about the Argentinian steak so good with chimichurri great texture and good flavor on the veggies. And our waiter Seth is so kind. Was asking how each meal is, making sure everything was made to our liking, and is very informative. Just overall great customer service. Will be back again and will tell family and friens to try this place. And what very different and interesting was that the owner came out to speak to the clients and ask how the meal were. & Thank you for my birthday dessert the Baklava was made to perfection. ❤️ Oh and great choice in music 🎶

The restaurant, only two years old, is sparklingly beautiful and feels brand new. What really captures the eye is the large mural on two opposing walls—a delicate, beautiful work with clear Mediterranean influences. We were fascinated to learn it was created by the chef. Our dining experience was excellent, with one minor exception. We started with steam bun pork belly sliders and red cabbage, which were wonderful—perfectly balanced between sweet, savory, and smoky flavors. My husband's chicken soup with hand-pulled chicken and Greek yogurt was another outstanding dish. I had the grilled octopus next, which was disappointingly tough and chewy. However, my husband's main of white fish with crispy grilled vegetables and an eggplant-tomato sauce was superb. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Meeting the chef and hearing the story of his mural was the perfect finish to the evening.

Outstanding! 5 stars. If you want a meal that, upon first sight of the plate, hits the table, you know it is going to be good. Then, upon the first bite, your taste buds come alive. Go! The tucked-in plaza location to the Phoenix Flame in Rolling Meadows, IL, stands proudly on its own! The cuisine is so flavorful, the quality of ingredients is superior, the presentation is superior, and the recipes, unlike the competition, including the plethora of restaurants, are oh so close. The menu choices are what I would call a Mediterranean-meets-Ecuadorian fusion of food and flavor—seasoned to complement yet not overpower. I am a bit of a quality food snob. My taste buds know which flavors and foods pair perfectly. The Phoenix Flame passed with Perfection. Quiet atmosphere, lovely, knowledgeable server. The chef/owner came to our table and asked about how we liked our meals. He even shared how his wife meticulously perfects each recipe trying them on her own family and watching them trying it. One of my friends had been there before it ever hits the menu.
