    Always delicious! Great drinks and service. The ribs and roti chicken, ahi salad were delicious! The brussel sprouts are the best anywhere, as is the cilantro coleslaw. Save room for key lime pie!

    Five stars across the board from the food and service to the ambiance. What a wonderful evening from the moment we arrived until we left. We were there celebrating my wife’s birthday and had a wonderful family celebration. Everyone made it very special. There are very few restaurants I can rate this high. I’m glad this was one. Everything was delicious and we look to dining at Flint by Baltaire again.

    Such a festive outdoor setting with wonderful food and drinks. We started with drinks at Sidecar and then moved over to the beer garden tables outside for dinner. It was great for our larger group of 7. We love the whole experience.

    We dined here tonight at 6:15 and three of us ordered the mushroom lasagna. The waitress came back to apologize that there were only two left so my friend ordered something else. About 5 minutes later another gal came by to tell us that they actually only had one mushroom lasagna left, so I ordered something else. It worked out okay, as they comp'ed us for dessert, but it seems a bit odd to run out of food so early in the night! Hailey was sweet and did a great job as our server.

    We were greeted by a smile and were seated immediately and were at a small table when a woman (manager) came over and asked if we wanted to move to a bigger table so we could sit side by side. It was so nice of her. Our waiter, Chris, was outstanding!!! We shared the delicious pretzel bread with sausage and cheese and then shared a Chopped Salad that was presented by Chris and then tossed table side. It was fantastic!!! Definitely worth the visit and we will be back (probably for lunch at their sister restaurant!)
