    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.

    Julia, Luke and Nicki were amazing. The food was beyond insane — the Wagyu and the bone marrow sourdough was our personal favourite. Genuinely the best food we’ve had in Melbourne in a LONG time. Met Luke and Julia after their shift at the bar next door and safe to say, they’re legends! Will be making this spot our go-to, especially if we can see Nicki’s best friend, Lenny, again! Thanks guys 🩷🩷

    Hands-down the best wagyu steak in Melbourne. I’m not lying. Everything was cooked right in front of us on the charcoal and it was such an amazing thing to experience. We will absolutely be back!

    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
