The steak was one of the best steaks I’ve had in Melbourne. Quality produce and prepared perfectly. The menu otherwise is limited. The fish was fresh but underwhelming. The space is cool. Comfortable and stylish. The staff is warm and kind, but they likely need one more person. Will definitely return because Flint is worth supporting.
