   I really don't like leaving reviews like this, but we didn't have the best experience on Saturday night. We were seated in the stunning upstairs private room overlooking the restaurant (absolutely beautiful!), but due to the heat of the charcoal the window needed to be kept open, which lead to the smell of sewage from outside regularly wafting into the room. Our servers were lovely and fun, but it would've been great if we could've been warned of the wait time for everything. It took 45 minutes for drinks and we waited over 90 minutes between entrees and mains. By that point my guests were hungry and frustrated. To their credit, it looked like a very busy evening that they were fully booked for, but perhaps having more than one chef who did *everything* (including prep by the looks of things - absolute legend!) and one bartender would've helped? We also had drinks missed (which was quickly rectified), but the main thing was everyone left hungry. The serving sizes were not large, or potentially we were waiting too long, and it was too late to order more. I used to work in hospo and am generally understanding of these things, but the lack of communication and not being offered compensation for the inconvenience was disappointing. We were also charged a weekend fee which I wasn't aware of until the end. I would've usually brought all this up but we were in a rush to get to our next venue. The food was really great and tasty for the most part (the steak and carrots were to die for!) but the oysters and kingfish weren't as fresh as I'm used to. I'm really hoping this was just an off night for them, because the concept, taste, friendly waitstaff and environment were great.

   Steak and trout was great however it's too loud to have a dining exerience. Had to ask my friend to repeat himself several times because I couldn't hear him as staff were singing and dancing in the bar. Flint is not for the dining experience. It's more for small bday parties

   We have eaten at Flint many times but it just keeps getting better and better! The steak is one of the best we’ve ever had and the Carrot Carrot side dish is phenomenal! Kudos to Chef/owner Nikki for amazing attention to detail and fantastic service. Highly recommended!

   Bravo chef. For a crew of two you’re producing some high quality hospitality. Happy Christmas. Joyeux Noël.

   We ordered at 6pm, food still not out at 7.15pm. Asked the waiter, she said she thought we wanted to just enjoy your cocktails. Massive communication breakdown. We cancelled our dinner order and went to another restaurant where food was almost immediately served despite being a lot busier. I note there were only 2 staff members on which was not sufficient for the number of diners.

    The dinning experience at Flint yesterday night was a wonderful one with my family. We all enjoyed the foods and the service. I would highly recommend to my friends Flint. Thanks for the great time Flint staff.
