A little while ago, Georgia and I went on a date night to Flat Iron, Soho. Upon arrival we joined a kind of strange disjointed queue and eventually let the waitress on the door know we wanted a table. We were told that the wait would be approximately an hour and a half which was a bit disappointing but understandable as we could see that the restaurant was fairly small and very busy. We were offered to wait in their underground bar which we went for as it was cold and we didn't fancy waiting outside. The bar downstairs was super cool however pretty dark and dingy and also very hot. We grabbed a couple of drinks and I bought a hand filled apricot jam donut which was really fresh and tasty.
When we eventually were called upstairs, we sat on a joint table with some other customers which I had no problem with. The restaurant is really nicely set up and the table had awesome cutlery and complimentary beef dripping flavoured popcorn. This was very funky, felt like a heart attack but really good. The menu is very basic and have the one "Flat Iron steak" along side a few sauces, sides plus they have specials on every now and then. We opted for a steak each and a Flat Iron steak burger to share. The steak was perfectly cooked and really tender although not that hot (understandable as steak should be rested before eaten). The burger really stole the show for me, made from ground steak and served in a brioche bun with béarnaise sauce. Deep fried in beef dripping, the burger was packed with flavour but did feel very heavy, however there was no guilt whatsoever on my part!
In conclusion, I'd love to go back to Flat Iron but wouldn't be happy to wait for an hour and a half again. With that in mind, get there early and keep an eye out for their amazing specials, it's worth a visit as a one off for sure.
