Cleaver parting gifts
Michaela N.

Flat iron was a delicious experience. The simplicity of a menu is similar to the North American concept, Medium Rare. A few choices of steak that are done well with some pretty good side choices. I love the small bistro atmosphere allowing minimal seating. There wasn't much of a mocktail list for the non-drinkers. I did appreciate that our waiter was able to figure out something else with my drink as I didn't like the nonalcoholic gin option. We ordered our steaks at medium rare and they came out the appropriate temperature which was nice. Prices were very reasonable so I would go again.

Ice cream

10/10. I love the concept of this place and think it's so perfectly executed. I came with a friend for her birthday and we both got a steak and couple of sides to share. The steak was perfectly cooked to our individual liking and very well seasoned. The meat wasn't overpowered with salt/pepper. The garlic mashed potatoes were incredibly decadent and paired nicely with the steak. We got the truffle mac and cheese as well and absolutely loved it. We each ordered an old fashioned and felt it was a little too sweet but nonetheless well made. To end the dinner, we received a little token for a free ice cream. I believe it was tahini flavored soft serve and was the perfect lost savory dinner sweet snack.

First the food: -steak is great and cooked to whatever you prefer - garlic mash 10/10 - side salad 10/10 - macaroni 10/10 Service: always great, we've been 10+ times and never had bad service Ambiance: chic and cozy (perfect for date night) Overall: go for the food, but enjoy the vibes along the way! Don't forget to use your little token for the free ice cream post meal!!

Visited flat iron on soho based on a friends recommendation. We went for lunch around 2. They sat us in the bassement where there were only two other parties. Menu is simple. Flat iron steak for 15 pounds or a cheeseburger for 18 or a Scottish cut or the two daily specials which included a wagyu steak at 35 pounds. We ordered a flat iron and a cheeseburger with a side of their aubegine dish. All tasted well. We also were surprised by a soft serve ice cream. Only weird things was that this is the first place in London where they added a 12.5% optional tip to the bill as if anyone is going to ask the server to remove it. Not sure it is smart or not cool at all.

Steaks, Side Salad, Creamed Spinach, Eggplant, Truffle Mac and Cheese

Fantastic experience and affordable, delicious food! Flat Iron is a chain located around London, and it is a great option for dinner! Steaks are juicy, cooked just right up to preference, with a variety of sauces to choose from. The moment you step in, there's the smell of freshly popped popcorn and steak. They give you cups of beef dripping popcorn, which is super flavorful and peppery! The sides are delicious as well, and my favorite was the truffle mac and cheese! You end with a complimentary ice cream as well, and it's super decadent and creamy! Overall a great restaurant, and the staff is so kind!

Cute cleaver tokens for ice cream
Amanda L.

We got into Kensington and were starving after traveling. So I looked online for nearby restaurants and found this spot. Initially I was worried because there wasn't a dinner reservation open til 8:45 but we decided to walk over and test our luck at getting a table- and so glad we did. Ambiance was cute on the outside and inside. Staff was friendly and we were promptly seated (it was around 5:00) and they give you some popcorn that they pop in if I remember correctly beef fat as well as some chilled water. It's a win for me and my daughter as we love popcorn and water. We both ordered medium rare flat iron steaks and truffle Mac n cheese and bone marrow mashed potatoes. Everything we ordered was incredible. Upon check out, they give you these cute cleavers that you can exchange for some yummy Soft serve ice cream- love it. The ice cream was delicious and you can get chocolate shavings added. I can't recommend this spot enough.

Came here twice while staying in London it was that good. Prices were very reasonable and the steaks were delicious. The service was so fast, we were served within 15 minutes our meaWe did a flat iron steak, which was salty and full of well flavor. Ask for medium rare steak and you will get just that, amazing! Our second time we got the special of the day, Wagyu Picahana for 2. This steak was thick and unfortunately, quite fatty. Had good flavor. Slightly more tender than the flat iron, but we agreed the extra fat ends made it not worth it. We also got the truffle Mac n cheese, the mashed potatoes, and the chips - all superb. The meal ended with free ice cream. Highly recommend this inexpensive dinner experience to everyone!

Ribeye with a cleaver
Lyn L.

Thanks to my yelping in London, we found an inexpensive but popular steak place in SOHO. Our bus guide also said the place was extra popular. An easy ride to this area, got us there before the crowd. Putting our name on the waiting list got us a table in less than 10 minutes. The menu is simple: 2 types of meat cuts and the specials also include a ribeye and Waygu options. We opted to try the ribeye and the Waygu Bavette(a type of sirloin). Both cuts were cooked to our request. Hubby said his Waygu was super tender. Server recommended one side selection per person since they were portions made for one. The truffle mac and cheese was amazing. The chips(fries) were amazing! Service is quick, lots of servers and food runners. At the end of our meal, they give us these tiny meat cleavers where we can exchange them for free homemade ice cream. There are many London locations and I've read all of them have the same service, food quality and ambiance.

Old Fashioned

Very small almost hole in the wall restaurant. The main entrance is almost hidden , not a huge sign denoting it we almost missed it. Once we were seated the service was good , tables are very close together. The steak was so good so tender. Served not even in plate served on a piece of wood. Cocktails were made at the bar but served in a flask with their logo on it, pretty cool. Everything we had was fantastic from the steak to the potatoes and the Mac n cheese. We would have gotten ice cream but their machine was down. Can get pretty loud at times because of the closeness of all the tables. Definitely need to make a reservation ahead of time.

Miniature clever token. Exchange this for ice cream
Daniel B.

Pro-tip: come early, so you have a semi-decent-chance to grab a seat before the rest of the flock arrives. If you're traveling solo like me, there's a high probability you can skip the line at the bar. Bottom line: the best culinary deal you shall find in London . Period. A must-stop-by to find a bargain during inflationary times . Show me another place serving a high quality steak for 14 pounds? Yeah, you can't, can you? To put this in perspective, a SMALL cheese pizza from a fast-food chain costs 17.99 pounds. But wait, there's more! Each patron receives a free complimentary popcorn snack before meal, and at the conclusion of the meal, you are awarded a 'cleaver token' to be exchanged for a free ice cream cone. So for 14 pounds, you receive popcorn, steak and a desert ice cream cone! Probably cheaper than if you bought each individually from the grocery store ! So I ordered the flat iron steak (medium rare), and two side sauces -- béarnaise sauce and pepperoni. Steaks came out perfectly medium rare , melt -n-your-mouth and already sliced for consumption. But if you must cut it further, they provide a miniature fancy cleaver. From a well-trained chef, it's a rookie mistake to dip any sorta sauce in a juicy medium rare steak. In some countries , you're insulting the chef. I tried two of the side sauces on a few pieces just to see what they tasted like. Béarnaise -- skip. Too rich . Cannot taste meat. Peppercorn-- okay. Better flavor , but just order the flat straight up. I also ordered the cream spinach side. It was more wholesome and healthier as it contained less concentration of the cream side Im accustomed to. Complimentary ice cream cone was excellent. Tasted like something I found at salt 'n straw: basically ice-cream cone of what a sticky toffee pudding would look like. Strong 5/5 stars. Can't recommend enough.

Lory M.

Highly recommend! But make a reservation. Restaurant is small but intimate! Fabulous steaks and side dishes with interesting steak knife. Don't forget to try the Flat Iron Malbec wine. It's so smooth and has a cherry hint to it. After your meal you will be treated to a soft serve ice cone to go. Wonderful service and delicious food, a dining must in London!!

Wagyu steak is cooked medium, and very tender and flavorful.
Jean Q.

We went there without reservations and was offered to be sitted right away provided we only have the table for 1hr and 15 mins which is plenty for us! It was refreshing to be offered to be sitted despite no reservation. Food aaa great! We had the wagyu steak, chips which i forgot is fries nad the truffle mac is delish! Will go back there! All the food that we ordered are very good, servers very friendly, ambiance is nice and its oacked!

They had room for party of 4 and it was Monday night, so "butcher" pricing, which means you pay what they pay by the weight for your meat. There was a chalk board that listed all the cuts by weight and as they sold, they crossed them off. There were still plenty available in a variety of cuts when we arrived around 8pm. I love that the entire restaurant is underground. We ended up getting an 800kg ribeye and it was the perfect amount of meat for us. We did supplement with lots of sides including the bone marrow, mushrooms on toast, beef dripping chips, and sweet potato. My favorite was the sweet potato, which was ash roasted for 10 hours and you could taste it. They all went will with the steak that came out in about 20 minutes, pre-sliced with a nice presentation. We also got a few of the cheese and pickle, which was a hit with my wife. Our server was great and we enjoyed our time and meal very much!

I like a crispy crackle on top of my pork belly. The red cabbage was okay but came in a separate dish and I wasn't too sure what I was meant to do with it. The dish was accompanied by a meat gravy which when I tried it overpowered the delicate flavors of the pork. Being quite hungry I also ordered potato gratin but the potatoes were a little hard and undercooked. There also wasn't very much sauce and in some instances was just potato on potato with no sauce in between. If I came here again I'd probably have the steak since it is called steak & co so that's their specialty. Service was as expected, my water cup was kept filled and received the bill when requested. Overall just okay really. Ambiance was typical for a chain restaurant. Not too loud and nothing to complain about.

Not the greatest quality, but it was a steak. The wait time was awful. The server didn't really seem to care and didn't give quality service. The Burger sucked! It was a soggy and sloppy mess! When we asked the waitress about it, she acted like we were asking for gold and seemed like we were bothering her. The side salad and the onion rings were all delicious though! The steak was good quality too. We were charged for everything, even water! I know that's a European thing, but it still sucks to be charged for water!

Three courses for £35, I started with the chicken liver pâté, rich and silky enough to make you close your eyes and savor it. The slow-roast West Country beef. Medium, of course why would you do it any other way. And the mince pie, boozy. Very boozy. Consider yourself warned. We were seated right in front of the fire pit, which added a rustic, cozy touch to the whole experience. Sure, it got a little toasty toward the end, but with the freezing cold outside, I wasn't about to complain. It felt like a true British winter dining experience, and I'd do it all over again.

Our food and drinks arrived promptly. We got the 40oz Tomahawk Steak and split it between 3 adults. Ordered the steak medium rare, and it came out a bit closer to rare but that's OK. The peppercorn sauce was delicious. Steak came with 2 potato sides so we had roasted potatoes and fries. I've been traveling in Europe for 2 weeks and these were easily the best fries I've had the entire trip. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and well seasoned. They do not offer real/straight horse radish. Only a creamy horse sauce. We had a delicious Bordeux red with the steak and it was a perfect pair. They do have a kids menu, which had some decent options... Squid and chips, burger, Mac and cheese, steak frites. The grilled Tuna Steak almost overshadowed the Tomahawk. We ordered it pink inside, and they delivered. It was perfectly seasoned and served with a garnish of grilled avocado with a tomato salsa. An incredible piece of fish! The building used to be a porn cinema so some of the artwork reflects that time. I'd describe it as tasteful decor, despite the subject matter. I felt like my Negroni cocktail was watered down. Don't miss Sofie's. So good!
