We've had our eye on this place since the first time we were at Uptown Mall. Its black & white facade vies for your attention while the large windows lets you have an unobstructed view of what's going on inside the restaurant. Curiosity kicked in and we soon found ourselves pushing open those big red doors.
A server greets you with a smile and ushers you to your seat. The couch looked inviting but were all unfortunately occupied. I was able to get a good shot of the area midway through our meal.
Just in case you weren't handed a menu, they adorned their wall with large framed boards highlighting their best sellers.
They kept it simple with their one-paged menu. We decided to skip on appetizers and went straight for their entrees. Upon our server's recommendation, we got the Flatiron Brisket 6 and the Lamb Shank.
We had them tweak it to our preference. The Flatiron Brisket 6 originally comes with brown rice and slaw on the side; we had them change it to fries & mashed potatoes. After taking the customary table shot, it was now time to eat.
Slow cooked in red wine, plum tomatoes, white beans, green olives. Comes with mashed potatoes on the side.
Fork tender lamb shank served in a black cast iron deep dish. Its good to note that the lamb literally swims in the red wine sauce (yummy sauce 'til the last bite!). The green olives brought the sour notes to the dish while the white beans added texture. Food-Stars Verdict? A well-presented & well-thought of dish. Definitely deserves its best seller status on their menu.
Fork tender US Beef Brisket, slow cooked for 6 hours in aromatics then seared on the griddle to order. Served with brown and red rice & fresh cucumber-carrot slaw.
Without the fixings, the Brisket looked lonely. Fork test revealed that as promised, this was indeed fork tender. Briskets usually have a bad reputation of being tough & chewy but FlatIron's version delivered. Food-Stars Verdict? With that kind of price tag, I was expecting bursts of flavors or at least a dish that would make my mouth water but it kind of fell flat instead. A sauce or gravy on the side would've made this better.
Overall, FlatIron gave a nice dining experience. But to answer the question on whether we're coming back? Based on these two dishes; not any time soon.
** On a side note, they offer lunch-to-go for Php 190. **
