Flat Iron
Chained Restaurant
Chained Restaurant
(450m from Picadilly Circus)
A simple
menu, which serves flat iron steaks and other add-ons.
Ordered
On: 8thJuly2015
Flat Iron
steak served with house leaf salad £10
*Served
atop a warm ceramic plate, is an incredibly tender and juicy piece of meat done
a perfect medium rare. The portion is a little petit but with some side orders,
it'll make up a full three course meal. The salad has a simple mustard dressing
that's light and refreshing. The only main available on the menu.*
Dripping
Cooked Chips - £2.50
Pretty
standard chips but it may be a little soggy. Still the best fries awards goes
to chain restaurant, Gill'd, from Australia.
Creamed
Spinach - £3.0
Served
warm and a nice accompaniment to the flat iron steak.
Roasted
Aubergine - £3.50
Nicely
prepared, with good cheese and tomato salsa balance.
Bearnaise
and peppercorn sauces - £1 each
Chocolate
Salt Caramel Mousse -£2.50
The
punctuation at the end of the meal for sure. Amazingly good. Light, and full of
flavor. The sprinkling of salt really enhances the light chocolate caramel
mousse. Not for sharing and a must order to end on a sweet note.
Total £40.70 Fed2

Total £40.70
A country
side kinda of feel with unique cutlery. Their pepper mills too were worthy of a
photo in itself. Seating is a little cramped with the support rods running in
between the legs, is a little of a hinderance.
However,
with all that said, its a value meal if you didn't try 85% of the menu as we
did. The desserts are a must order and it's a cheap place for steaks. The
complimentary pop corn served along as a starter was a nice, unique and homely
start.

Cheese
Burger £8.75, with all side options, a
serve of fries £2.75 and an order of small
soft drink £2.50

Total £13.25
I'm
finally able to try the burger which has a following amongst crew only
challenged by that of shake shack. I must say its a little underwhelming. With
all that hype, it probably looses out to Shake Shack Burgers. A to standard,
double patty cheese burger with all the trimmings. You have free range of as
much condiments as you want.
What's
really cool were their high-tech soft drink dispensing machines. Some of the
flavors have never even been heard off.
Others have sang praise of their milk shakes which wins Shake Shacks. Will have to try that another time.
Overall, not cheap. A decent burger, but reiterating the same point, Shake Shack wouldprobably win this round. However, to me, Super Duper Burgers in SFO, takes the cake for sure, and In-N-Out burgers by its price point.

Ordered
on 9thJuly2015:
Chorizo
and squash £4.20
Sweet
Potato £3.10
Cactus and corn £3.95
*I still
don't know how cactus really taste like.*
Chicken
tinga £4.25
Crab
& Avocado £5.25
Salmon
Sashimi £4.50Sweet
potato & Feta £3.95
*The star
order. A crispy exterior with a sweet delicate interior. A nice balance of
sweet and salty.*
They've
got the Mexican theme down for sure, but like most Mexican foods, it's all
tacos, mostly guacamole, sour cream and beans which drowns the flavors of the
other ingredients out. Good for a snack or light meal and the crispy sweet
potato wrap, the clear winner.
