Flat Iron: review



Flat Iron was highly recommended by my friends Kat and Dan, they even went to describe it as ‘EPIC’ so I just had to try it for my birthday meal the other weekend.

And what a fab place it was, all the little touches really made for a great atmosphere; a rustic feel with exposed brick walls, friendly staff who were willing to chat and very quick service.

They have two restaurants both in Soho, 17 Beak St & 9 Denmark St and with only 10 minutes walking distance between them if you encounter a long wait, like we did, you can just pop round the corner.


I'm a massive fan of popcorn, so when one of those retro white cups with the distinctive blue rim full of freshly made salted popcorn was brought to the table, I was already sold and I knew this would be a place I would be coming back to. We perused the menu, deciding between Flat Iron steak or the days specials of Sirloin steak or Chateaubriand steak.

 



Now the mini cleavers were just so cute, who'd of thought I'd ever call a meat cleaver cute but they definitely were! They even sell them for £10 which is a great idea.




We all went for their flat iron steak, cooked to order and served on a hot stone with a small side salad; very tender and a good size for £10. Paired with creamed spinach, fries cooked in beef dripping and bearnaise sauce at an added cost.





As big foodies we definitely didn't say no to dessert and with only one option on the menu it was an easy decision. The Salted Caramel Sundae:

Paul A. Young Salted Caramel
Milk soft serve, Hot Madagascan Chocolate Sauce
Vanilla bean & Van Winkle Bourbon syrup

A delicious dessert with the sauce and syrup complementing each other well and a generous helping of Paul A. Young’s salted caramel. Kat and I are big fans of Paul and having just seen him hours before at the chocolate festival in Islington we were excited to try his salted caramel, and it didn't disappoint. This added decadence of sauce, syrup and salted caramel to what would normally be a simple dessert was the perfect ending to my birthday weekend.

Verdict
A fantastic steak with an even better price tag, a must for steak lovers especially in the new year when money is tight.



What's your favourite steak restaurant? Let me know as I love trying new places.

    I am so glad to writing this article today to tell the world how Dr. Owobami Ayedun cured my HSV VIRUS. I have been suffering from this awful disease five years ago, ever since then my life has been incomplete bizarre and agony,I have used so many drugs that were prescribed to me by several doctors,but it didn't cure my HSV VIRUS neither did it reduce the pain, until a certain day when I was checking for solution in the internet, then miraculously came across Dr. Owobami Ayedun the powerful herbalist that cures numerous individuals of HSV 1-2, ALS, HBV, HIV, and other deadly diseases, then I contacted him directly through his email: drowobamiayedun@gmail.com and explained everything to him and he told me not to worry anymore that this is the end of my herpes virus. I placed an order after 6 days I receive his herbal medicine and he gave me instruction on how to use it. Today I am here happily sharing my cure to everyone to know that Dr.Owobami Ayedun has the cure to any disease or virus. He can also cast a Love spell to get your ex-husband, wife, boyfriend, and girlfriend back. Anyone reading this post should share and refer to others who need help to cure to contact Dr.Owobami Ayedun for a lasting solution.
