I was here for a UYE (Unofficial Yelp Event) back in April meeting up with other Yelpers from MA and NH. I know I'm a bit late in writing this review, but I've been very busy and wanted to get this review done before another UYE this weekend.
The Flatbread Company is housed in an old mill building in one large cavernous room with lots of echoing crowd noise complete with bar, table seating, and wood fired oven pizza kitchen. We hung out at the bar until everyone arrived and then we were seated at a long table next to the open kitchen, where we watched the staff make pizzas. The menu is not extensive and offers several varieties of specialty flatbreads (or pizzas), salads, and desserts using organic ingredients. You can order half/half flatbreads too!
We ordered several flatbreads so everyone could sample a good variety including:
Cheese & Herb: mozzarella & parmesan cheese baked with garlic oil & herbs
Jimmy's Free Range Chicken: roasted free range chicken, roasted corn, fresh cilantro tomatoes with green onions, black beans, garlic oil, mozzarella, parmesan & herbs, garnished with sour cream & a lime wedge
Coevolution: kalameta olives, fresh rosemary, red onions, goat cheese, mozzarella, & garlic with oven roasted red peppers, cheese & herbs
The Amesbury Community Flatbread: caramelized onions, mushrooms, garlic oil, mozzarella, parmesan, & herbs
Special Steak: steak, tomatoes, green peppers, red onions, mushrooms, garlic oil, herbs, & mozzarella
I sat in the middle of the table and had easy reach of all of the flatbreads ;-) I liked all of the flatbreads, but my favorite flatbreads were the Special Steak and Jimmy's Free Range Chicken, which were very tasty. Most of us got desserts afterwards including Barbara's Homemade Brownies & Gingerbread and Damaris' Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, all served with Annabelle's all natural vanilla or pumpkin ice cream, finished with homemade hot chocolate sauce and whipped cream. I had the Gingerbread with Pumpkin Ice Cream, which was fantastic! The service was quick after placing kitchen orders, but at times it took a while to get refills on drinks since the place was very busy.
After we were finished eating, Jeffrey H. gave us the hook up with lots of cool Yelp schwag including Yelp Elite 08 hoodies, which we donned for group photos taken by the friendly staff using several cameras. We all had a great time meeting each other for good food and drinks and socializing/comparing notes. Can't wait until the next Yelp event, which is very soon! read more
