| - If I were to attempt a pick up line with FlatIron, I would certainly use, "Hey good lookin', whatcha got cookin'?" It's a great looking restaurant - dark wood and brick throughout, high ceilings and an overall cozy atmosphere. While parking is most certainly an issue out front, I hear there's a lot around back. Good to know for next time!
The menu lends itself to comfortable, upscale American dishes. I dropped by for lunch, so I perused the myriad of tasty looking sandwich choices, soups, apps and salads. I finally went with the shrimp salad ($10.75): shrimp, asparagus, almonds, tomatoes, goat cheese, pickled radishes with white balsamic vinaigrette.
The salad itself was giant - the greens were seemingly never ending! All the ingredients were uber fresh and I have no complaints, except one...well, technically three. Three was the number of shrimp I received. While the shrimp were nicely cooked and seasoned, I was hoping my shrimp salad had a few more! Regardless, the flavors of the salad were light and tasty, exactly what I was seeking for lunch.
FlatIron offers pretty sweet drink specials during the week, too (copied from their website). Both their beer and wine lists are pretty extensive, so these specials are even more attractive.
