Going to the Flames is like falling down the bunny hole in ``Alice in Wonderland''; everything is hilariously oversize. This makes for an exciting, dreamlike experience, which is further enhanced by the fact that the food is actually very good. With everything from omelets and steaks to coconut cakes, there's something for everyone. And like Max's, whose electrifying ambience it shares, this is both a good place and a bad place for a diet.
