“ The Flatiron Room is simply an amazing restaurant. Went there for my birthday with a group of friends. Everything from the staff, to the music, and food. Excellent restaurant. The vibe right off the bat was great and we were greeted by the friendly host. My entire party of 7 was waited on quickly and no falters in orders at all. All drinks and food went to the correct people and our waitress didn't even write down the orders! For my entire group I paid around 1.2k but we all ordered appetizers, drinks, and entrees. Would 100% recommend for special occasions. ”

“ This atmosphere alone gets a 4 star for me. The food and the drinks were both really good. We ordered the burgers and they came out just the way we like it. I came here for a birthday dinner and the treatment was really nice including the cake. ”

“ 4.4 stars = 3.8 stars for food, 5 stars for ambiance and service. The Flatiron Room in NoMad has been a constant on the NYC nightlife scene since it opened in 2012, with a second location in Murray Hill. Known for their extensive distilled spirits collection and live music, its intimate, dim atmosphere, scarlet velvet-curtained stage, pink backlit liquor cabinets, and semi-private balustraded second floor balcony booths all exude a 1920s vintage speakeasy feel. An evening here is like simultaneously stepping back in time while being able to enjoy some of the best cocktails and liquors modern times have to offer. Last Saturday our party of 7 arrived for a friend's birthday with reservations at 7:30pm. Some of our party arrived around 30 minutes late as they were delayed coming from a separate dinner though the staff were kind enough to seat the early arrivals first. Our waiter was excellent the entire evening, able to give recommendations, answer questions, check in occasionally, and very cordial so top marks for service hence the extra half star. The menu here consists of a fairly extensive list of signature cocktails ($21-24), beers, ciders and non-alcoholic cocktails ($10-15), "prestige" cocktails ($45), wines, sparkling wines, and champagne ($ wide range by glass or bottle), and food from cold and warm apps ($16-29), caviar and seafood platters ($95-395), mains ($30 for eggplant tagiatelle to $185 for a 48oz tomahawk steak), and sides and supplements ($14-48). Food style appears to be mostly traditional American with some indulgent items like caviar and lobster added in. Since most of the party had eaten dinner prior, we ended up ordering a few apps to share, crab cakes $23, bourbon bbq meatballs $21 and truffle fries $16. The portions of the crab cakes were on the smaller side though at a spot like this you're here to enjoy the ambiance, live music, drinks and company so it's understandable why there's a premium. Taste-wise the crab cakes were well-seasoned with a Cajun flare though a little too salty. The meatballs were good with a nuanced sweetness from the bourbon. The truffle fries were a decent serving, good truffle flavor though I like my fries crispity crisp and some of them were a bit soft in the middle. For dessert they bring out a little mini cupcake with a candle for the birthday celebrant, although no singing which made sense since it was during a music set. Considering the popularity of the Flatiron Sphere $24 dessert we ordered one to try. It was a spectacle and very chocolatey--as someone who loves chocolate--maybe even too chocolatey. The strawberries added slight acidity though were already macerated and sweetened so overall the bittersweet chocolate with vanilla flavor overpowered the entire dessert. Would recommend this as a sharing item between 2-3 people, too much of a single flavor to be a good thing for just one person. For drinks we ordered couple Blackberry Gimlets $21, an Espresso Martini $22, a Smoking Old Fashioned $23, one Four Roses Small batch Old Fashioned $22, a Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon $28. Everyone enjoyed their drinks though given that our reservation time was up at 9:30pm, this didn't give us enough time to order another round and sip leisurely so we opted to head to a different bar afterwards. ”

“ Quaint jazz spot with a sexy vibe. Drinks were a bit pricey but this is one of those bars/restaurants qualified for a perfect date night and sit in a booth cozied up listening to music. Didn't quite have a good view but the music was loud enough to not have to see anything. Service could have been better since it was not that busy for the time slot we had. I may come back and give it another chance. ”

“ This place is fantastic! With live music and an impressive selection for true whiskey connoisseurs, it's a must-visit. They offer whiskeys from around the world, and you can even sample flights. It's an incredible experience! ”

“ Great evening to enjoy live music (no cover) and cocktails. They are known for their extensive selection of whiskey. Front desk hostess and waiters all had great service. Two hiccups though: 1. The singer that evening kept taking breaks and seemed a bit non energetic. 2. A rowdyish party of 5 or 6 was a bit rude to the hostess and was seated initially in the back with a partial view of the stage. I noticed the waitresses said the table in the front was reserved for a party of 5 that were coming soon and so they denied others from sitting there (including the rude group and our group of 5's request). Then, I see one of the men from the rude party sneak cash to a male worker in a button down (perhaps the manager) and then the entire party got moved to the front. I guess if you go out a lot, this happens in the NYC scene but I just noted this. If you love fruity drinks, get the One Night in Tulum (mango and coconut and rum). But do try their whiskeys or cocktails like Smoked Manhattan which they do beautifully. Overall, it mightve been an off night for the performer. But overall a good evening hence the 4 stars. ”

“ Love, love, loved the ambiance! It was a super classy and intimate jazz bar-- perfect for date night! I really enjoyed my experience here-- the musicians were fantastic and the whiskey options were great! ”

“ This place was on my short list of places to pop in for a cocktail because I read that it had a huge whiskey list. A huge whiskey list is quite an understatement- it is massive! We ended up staying longer than planned because a 2 person band playing songs from the 1920s just started up around 5pm and they were fascinating! We had cocktails- one of them the smoked old fashioned I believe. Excellent. We shared a bourbon tasting which was well worth the price. We also had some outstanding fries with truffle salt - I am kind of a fry snob and these were quite good. The bartender- he appeared to be the head bartender- was nice, but also a bit condescending and/or seemed slightly annoyed by us. I have been to NYC many times and I realize this is a common occurrence, the bartender having an attitude, It's just frustrating to me when it happens because my husband and I are such friendly people who tip generously. And for a while, we were the only customers. It left me with a weird feeling. Otherwise it was a great experience and I would return! ”

“ Came out here for our nicer dinner when we came out to visit NYC for our 10 year anniversary. Honestly, I came here b/c of the mixology show and the lady that was hosting it. I was so curious... come to find out this place is a Whiskey dream! Seriously... pages, upon, pages, of selection. It's just wild. If you're a Whiskey aficionado, this is a must-visit place. I'm still in the newbie phase of my whiskey journey so I'll comment where I can. I genuinely love the cocktail list as it was well spread and having ordered the Old Fashion (smoked), I learned quite a bit on how to really blend drinks. The way the smoke danced with the cocktail was a perfect blend. Again - highly recommend. (and I hate buying cocktails b/c I can make better ones at home). The appetizers and dessert were to die for. Absolute win. Our main courses were good and overall, I can see why this place continues to thrive. This place is a winner hands-down! Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 5 Value of food to cost: 4 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Very old school mixed new school, slash, speakeasy feel. We came while it was dinner and we loved the entertainment. Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: no ”

“ Surprised the Hubs with our 10 year anniversary at this spot. It a place we've been eyeing for a while. This seemed like the perfect opportunity and excuse to come here and celebrate. This place is swannnnnkkkyyy. The dim lit room you enter upon seating at your table definitely has a vibe. The long dining area holds a pretty lengthy bar with a small stage at the end of the room. To the right (if you're facing the stage) are private booths where the performers can station during their breaks. We were given a small table closer to the stage and that was super fun. Rich T. and the Nighttrain was our entertainment for the evening and did they crush it. Rich smartly rearranges classics and current hits that we are all familiar with and gives them a jazzy twist. Drummer T Bone Motta held it down as well and they both can put on a great show by themselves in their own right, but they play well off each other and it was so fun to watch. We even got to hang out and chat with them after dinner as we waited for our Uber outside. Two standup gentlemen that I hope to see play again soon. Back to the restaurant - The place is beautiful, and the service was absolutely impeccable. I had the smoky old fashioned which was so fun and smooth. The food though, was slightly disappointing. We started with the House Made Focaccia bread. It wasn't so much a focaccia bread as it was very dense and lacked flavor. The two butters that came with the bread (one sweet, one savory) were good but didn't do much for the bread. For dinner I got the crab cakes while Hubs got the burger. Again, nothing too special to write about. The menu said you can add truffle fries to the burger but it seemed like they already came with the burger. The fries were tasty and were probably better than the burger. My crab cakes were good, but again lacked something. I did appreciate the huge lumps of crab and how the dish itself wasn't fishy in the slightest. Finally we finished with the 28 layer cake that gets chocolate sauce poured over tableside. Not too sweet, this cake is super epic. I would be interested to try the other dessert as they looked quite good. I think my next visit will consist more of small plates like a meat and cheeseboard. Moral of the story is that this spot is amazing for a date night or a great spot for a small group to hang out at. Such great vibes and visiting places like this are a great way of supporting local artists. Cheers to staying hydrated. ”
