Fiamma serves both traditional Martinis and the more popular Martini Cocktail (the girlie ones). In the latter category there are some great choices, beyond the standard Cosmopolitan (which they also do very well).
My current favourite is the Hemmingway Martini which features premium Vodka, White Rum, Cranberry and Pineapple Juices, and is garnished with a couple of frozen cranberries. Very tasty!

Martini Lounge - CURRENTLY CLOSED
As we haven’t been in much over the summer… we inquired about the Weekend Martini Lounge. We were told that it had been very slow in the summertime (with everyone away or entertaining at home) but there are plans to perhaps start it up again later this Fall. I will keep everyone posted.

Ok, just to balance out Fresh Foodie's margarita nightmare, I'd like to comment positively on their Martini Day ( used to be $4.27 each) Now, in a commercial restaraunt like this, I wouldn't expect the martinis to be very good, and certainly the ones on the menu were the girli-tinis ( apologies to all the girlies I just offended) that are more mix, than 'tini. I however asked the server if custom martinis were also the same price and they told me YES. So I ordered my standard Vodka,Gin,Vermouth martini with 2 olives, and it was big, and quite intoxicating (or maybe it was the second that was intoxicating.. not sure). Yea martinis!
Don't get me wrong, it isn't in the ballpark of a Lychee Martini from Juniper, but you can't go wrong for less than $5...

I tried a magically purple Lotus Martini here and enjoyed it so much that I tried to reverse-engineer it at home. Here's what I came up with:
* 1 oz Lychee liqueur
* 3/4 oz Absolut vodka
* 1/4 oz Blue Curacao
* 1 drop Red food colouring
* Mint leaf
1. Shake the three boozes with ice and strain into martini glass.
2. Add the food colouring and stir slightly.
3. Garnish with mint leaf, torn into tiny bits

Hip decor, cozy atmosphere, and great music most nights.
