4.5 stars. A consistent, reliable Cleveland mainstay.
Nothing fancy here, just a great place for a bite or a drink. The staff are always knowledgeable and treat you well. The food and drink are consistent and always enjoyable. The atmosphere is inviting in a time-honored way. The room upstairs is a great place for a reunion.
This place has been around a long time. Establishments have come and gone in the surrounding buildings. I hope the Flat Iron will be around for a long time to come.
