Oh wow - this is Whangarei's best kept secret! The waiter was friendly and attentive, and the food was absolutely top notch.
The menu is impressive, with a range of delicious options. We chose five different meals, and I honestly don't think there's a bad option on there, because all of them came out not only tasting incredible, but plated and dressed with such care and artistry that it's clear the chef loves their work.
Portion sizes were bang on, and well worth the prices.
I put the atmosphere at four stars, but maybe it should be five, depending on your personal preference. We found there weren't many people there (granted it was a Tuesday night), which seems a bit of a shame considering the quality of the food. That said, table spacing is generous, so even on a busier night it should be easy to have a conversation with your group without needing to yell.
Everyone at the table said they've now got a new favourite restaurant. Thanks, Raewyn and the team, we'll be sure to see you again soon!

Decided to check out for brunch yesterday. Menu selection included both the breakfast and lunch menus, so lots of yummy choices.
Service was great, all of the staff were lovely as well as helpful - genuine service with a smile.
Decided to go with the Vietnamese Beef salad. It was absolutely delicious! Only $22 (lunch special of the day). Best I've had (have tried about 4 other places). Couldn't fault it and will be my go to at Flames next time - I will definitely be back!

Friendly staff, delicious scones & muffins, good coffee, light & airy. They do a good range of cabinet good including gluten-free, as well as meals off the menu. All food looks very tasty. Usual prices. Plenty of parking, very clean. The only possible drawback is the lack of character as it is in a traditional hotel, and there is nothing that can be done about that. Definitely recommend for relaxed visit inside or outside on the terrace.

Went to flames the other night with my husband to try the new menu, lots of lovely options to choose from but the arancini balls were amazing! Service was excellent super quick with all meals and never was my glass empty. Beautiful experience would definitely recommend and will return again and again.
The only negative was the loaded garlic bread which felt like a garlic bread from dominoes that someone threw a handful of bacon on and for 18$ it was a let down.

Best cooked eggs and salmon breakfast I've had in a long time and I love my warm plate!!
Good friendly service and a big pot of English breakfast tea.
My favourite place to have breakfast these days. Thanks guys!
Had a great night celebrating a significant birthday. The setting for our group was well thought out both for us to all be able to interact and not impact on other diners .
Our French waiter was fabulous, engaging with everyone and had a good system for getting our meals sorted in a timely fashion
Food was awesome, with everyone enjoying everything they ordered.
Well done team.

Pan Fried Snapper
I had the Pancakes for Breakfast. I found it strange you had to choose from Bacon or Banana. The Maple syrup was only about a teaspoon and was soaked up by the bottom pancake making the rest dry. I think the Chief needs to go into town and see what the rest offer for the same price. What needs to happen is to have both Banana and Bacon, there was no cream or berries there should have been a small pot of syrup to add as I liked. Also when someone asks for a cappuccino you usually ask if they would like chocolate or cinnamon not put both together. Also some of the orders were mixed up and the drinks, perhaps you could supply a larger pad for the waiter to write the orders on instead of the postit note size they were using.
