Hot food, hot prices at downtown eatery

Patrons stand outside waiting for a table at the late night hot spot Flames on 88 S. Fourth St. on Sept. 22.
Happy Hour started at 9 p.m. at Flames in downtown San Jose at 88 south 4 on Thursday Sept. 22. Flames is a place to go out and have a great time and good food with friends. The restaurant is big on its happy hour with half-off appetizers for those looking for a cheap eat.

The manager himself seated us and gave great suggestions for us to order with a great smile, without even knowing we were doing a review. During happy hour, the restaurant got almost a lounge-like ambiance with dim lighting and up beat music.

The server showed up to take our order and also gave a few suggestions. He took our drink order then came back promptly with our drinks to take our food order. The server was really great at making sure all the plates landed in a timely manor.

The food was full of flavor and they gave enormous portion sizes for the price.

We ordered off the appetizer menu and got garlic fries ($3.50), garlic bread ($3.50) and fried calamari ($5).

To me cooking with garlic can be tricky it can be very over powering but this was not at all it was a great blend of herbs and spices.

The over all ambiance, services and food made us give five “Freddie the foodies”
