Add this to your Kensington food stops.

Food: They give you a nice popcorn for a starter. Steak was great! I also loved the Truffle Mac n' Cheese. The ice cream was also a nice touch. 

Service: Service was good! Servers were attentive. They split our check with no issue. 

Ambiance: Nicely decorated. Not loud so it was good for talking with friends. Could also be a nice date night spot.

We had a great meal at Flat Iron! Several people recommended we eat here so we made sure we did. They have several locations - we went to the one in Kensington. They have their brand down to a science - specialize in one thing and do it very well.  From the popcorn appetizer to the delicious steak and sides, to the soft serve cone on your way out the door / perfect all the way around!

My wife and I came to Flat Iron at about 830 on a Tuesday night and had a great meal. We had been over at Dishoom and didn't want to wait the hour plus to get a table so we took a chance to walk around and find something else. 

We came across Flat Iron and luckily they were able to seat the two of us even though it was bumpin inside. 

The concept is simple: providing customers with a good quality steak at an affordable price. Because of that, the menu is pretty pared down and they seem to focus on a few things to do them all well. 

I got the flat iron and my wife got the Scottish Bavette. Both were great and just needed some finishing salt to reach their full potential. The chips were hot and crispy and delicious, as was the truffle Mac. My wife got the lime and mint fizzy drink and I got the rose lemonade which was awesome. Overall, great dinner especially Wilde it wasn't planned. 

On top of the food being great, the service was EXCELLENT all the way around. I'd recommend this for anyone looking for a more casual steak experience.

One of the best meals I've ever had in my life! Simple yet delish! The steak was done perfectly- they manage their own cattle so they control their feed which is why the steak is so good. Plus it's locally owned! Highly recommend!!

This review is for Flat Iron Kensington on Young Street. 
Our waiter was excellent. I did not get his name but he said he has only been working there for a month. He's friendly, and service minded. He clearly likes his job. Upsold us on the tomatoes which were special of the night and boy are we glad he did. They were delicious! Loved the cuts of meat, too. Lean and not too fatty. My husband and I each ordered the Flat Iron steak and Wagyu beef skirt steak. Both were supposed to be cooked medium rare, but the Wagyu was more like rare-plus because it was purple in the center. That's actually how I like it, so I didn't mind it at all. It was so tender. The steaks were pre-sliced  (in Hawaii, we refer to this as pupu-style). So we could easily share both. The time it took to order and when we got our food did not take more than 15 minutes. It was quick, considering how busy it was that evening . 

The restaurant itself is quite noisy and bustling. Casual dining on wooden chairs and small tables. The three sides that we ordered were quite small but perfect for two people to share and we finished it all.

Both the service and food were awesome!  I had the special of the day which was Waygu skirt steak and my husband had the flat iron steak. They were amazing!  I chose the garlic mashed potatoes with crispy bone marrow, again amazing!  My husband chose the beef drippings chips which he loved!   The wait staff gave us excellent service! We were very impressed and would definitely recommend!

First proper meal in London, both food and service are excellent. Our serve Launa is very sweet and friendly. Will definitely visit again if we are in the area.
