FLINT

We were recently in town and wanted to visit the best restaurants. Flint came up as one of the best in town. So we decided to save it for Sunday brunch. We called ahead, and they said the wait would be 10 minutes. When we arrived, we were seated immediately, which was awesome. However, it went downhill from there. The server appeared to be inattentive, and lacked the ability to make customers feel like it was a great place to be. I inquired about gluten free offerings, and he quickly rushed and said I could take the bread off sandwiches or get the shrimp and grits and left it at that, which was super insensitive for a high end restaurant.We ordered the yogurt parfait as a starter, and we got it about 10 minutes prior to getting our meals, although both courses took forever to receive. Our male server didn’t even bring our meals or come to inquire about how it was, and it honestly did not look like he had the time to do so. He appeared to be all over the place, but we would have loved to tell him how awful the experience was. My husband and I both ordered the shrimp and grits, and the grits were undercooked . My husband also ordered the French toast,which is his favorite breakfast item. However, he left half of it on the plate. We had to ask another gentleman wearing a suit to get our server to obtain the check, and We unfortunately had to leave our sever a small tip since in reality he didn’t do anything other than take the order and bring the check after we asked for it. There just didn’t seem to be any love in the food, which is necessary to operate a great restaurant and make customers spending their hard earned money want to come back. It sucks to say it, but it was a bad experience. We live 6 hours away and was upset we chose this as our last meal in town.

I thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. We had the chicken strip appetizer,Caesar salad,brazed pork shank. The pork shank was fall off the bone tender. It came with cheese grits and greens and the grits were out of this world! It was a little expensive but it is what I expected for the quality and location. Would definitely eat here again!

We visit Flint every year on our wedding anniversary and it's our favorite restaurant in the state! The menu is lovely and each dish is carefully and expertly prepared, the staff is professional, kind, and interested in making your experience wonderful, and the atmosphere is warm and unique. Thunder fans: Flint is a great location to visit before or after the game for any dish or drink you could want! If you want to celebrate a special occasion, consider Flint! And don't forget: if you're staying at the Colcord hotel, check for deals that include valet parking and a Flint discount when you make your reservations!

Solid food, great service! The chicken fried steak was quality and the gravy was yummy. Proportions are great. When you walk into a fancy place you always are worried about leaving hungry, but that was not the case. The food was good but what makes it worth the premium is the service.

I went here for a birthday dinner and was impressed by the setup of the restaurant. The waitress was nice and somehow able to balance our party of 22 while still taking care of her other tables. The food was expensive and the quality not what we paid for. The bread that they served us was good if fresh but quickly hardened and was tough to chew. I got the Oklahoma Mushroom Patty Melt which was more an open faced sandwich than a burger. While all the ingredients complemented each other, it just wasn't an amazing sandwich. My first bite also had a kind of charred taste to it which I couldn't find the exact source of, though I suspect the mushrooms. Some of my friends complained about their burgers being dry and one friend who got the pork shank said it was also dry and she took the rest home to make tacos. While I feel as if the quality of our food might have been low because of the huge amount of food ordered at once saturating the kitchen, I just wasn't impressed by it. The staff was nice and drinks good, but the food wasn't what I expected for the price.
