Flat Iron Kings Cross Reviews Summary

Atmosphere and Ambiance

Pros:

• "The atmosphere was delightful and lively, with a full house of diners."
• "Our first stop in London after a 13-hour flight was the renowned steakhouse, Flat Iron."
• "I didn’t know it was a chain when I first headed in there, and you wouldn’t know it from the experience."
• "Really great atmosphere but it was way too loud for the number of empty tables there."
• "Love this place for an early non-sense dinner. Decent wine selection, steak cooked exactly how I like it."
• "Definitely worth a visit if you fancy a cheap steak hit. It offers simple but clean decor and service is generally friendly and quick."

Cons:

• "At the bar, I ended up sitting next to a stranger. If you need privacy or space, this isn’t the place for it."
• "Inside the restaurant was hot when we were there. They should have opened the windows a bit to let the breeze in."
• "The only negative would be that the sauce portion is quite small and you don’t get enough for the entire steak."
• "Was tempted not to pay the service charge as the service wasn't that great. I was told that sometimes you get popcorn when you arrive."
• "All about this place is just okay.. nothing special. Drinks were good, downed a few of their gin cocktails which were fine. Menu limited.. very limited."
• "I had to use my phone to read the menu."
• "We were told we couldn't get any other table, even a two-seater as we would make it harder for the waiters to serve if we added an extra chair."
• "The seating area looked very large. The staff was friendly and walked us through the menu."
