The Flatiron Room Murray Hill

Love this place. Excellent service, atmosphere, and food. I ordered the Tomahawk steak and it was the best steak I've ever had.

Valentine's dinner out in New York is traditionally a tough one to secure a reservation and to have executed well. However, The Flatiron Room @ Murray Hill has a leg up on most due to the decor, low golden lighting, magnificent fireplace and, our night, terrific jazz trio playing so many familiar tunes from the 40s (and reminiscent of so many film scenes). The cocktail menu was creative, elegant and delivered on the promise of a superior drink that was visually stunning ("Garden of Eden" in particular). I'd preordered the seafood tower for 2 and the "chocolate sphere" (which was excellent) but otherwise our selections were from the Valentines pre fixe menu. The peekytoe crab cake was crispy and delicious. My wife had the yellowtail crudo which she found delightful. She followed that with pan seared Chilean sea bass that also impressed her. I had a medium rare NY strip steak with a small roasted squash filled with very smooth mashed potatoes...but, unfortunately, everything on my plate was room temperature when it arrived. Nothing like room temperature potatoes to bring back memories of a lunch line. The steak was cooked properly but I found it a bit chewy with a copious amount of unrendered fat. The chocolate sphere was dramatic & delicious with a touch of raspberry with the thin chocolate cake and ice cream revealed beneath the dome melted with molten chocolate before your eyes. Great presentation matched by the flavor. The raspberry sorbet was yummy too. Overall I think The Flatiron Room succeeded on a night when most serve disappointment. I'd recommend a visit.

This place is fantastic. I don't know how it flew under my radar for so long. I'm upset with my friends who had been to Flatiron Room (Murray Hill) and didn't tell me about it because the setup is right up my alley. Thankfully, I had a friend from Canada visiting and my scopes picked it up during a search for a good spot near her hotel in Times Square. The restaurant space itself is very warm and inviting. After looking at the available pictures online, I was a little bit concerned with the view and loudness from each table. After seeing the space in person, don't be afraid to sit up front or on the second level of tables in front of the stage. The tables to the far side of the stage don't have a good view of the performers. So beware. Incidentally, I asked for particular table arrangements in my reservation notes and I was glad to see that the staff/management obliged. That's always a HUGE plus in my book because restaurants often ignore this. Meanwhile, the live music is such a classy touch to the place. We're talking live singers and instruments, jazz ensembles etc. The stage lighting isn't overpowering. We stayed until maybe 10pm on a weeknight and they still had music going which I thought was great. Often the live music is brief or a few hours at most. Anyways, you're probably wondering about the food. We were trying to taste as much as we could but the menu options are so massive. So we split the charcuterie board, the steak (NY Strip), truffle fries, broccoli rabe and the rest I can't recall. They knew were were sharing so they had the steak precut for us and brought extra plates out, which again I really appreciated. The drinks were great too! I was a little bit surprised by the consistency of the "Take Me Back To Tulum" cocktail (frozen creamy consistency), but it was really good. I had to have two. I think one of has had the "Blackberry Gimlet" another tasty option. There was a third drink we tried, but I can't recall the name. Suffice it to say that the cocktails are all VERY well crafted. All in all, we had a great time, top to bottom. I will most definitely be stopping in to visit again. I'd like to give a shoutout to Vasyl (?), the manager who checked in on us during the meal. My friend is Eastern European and they had some things in common. We had nice conversation with him towards the end of our visit. His kind manner stuck out to me. You should try the place any time you're in the vicinity. P.S. I can see this being a nice date spot. Keep it in your pocket for a hot date maybe. ;-)

2.5 would be fairThis was my second time here. First time was great. We were a group of 6, we were very patient, spent a decent amount $1300-1400 or so. Service was beyond slow, numerous times got the wrong items or never got the item at all. The food was below average tonight. Things were cold, soggy, old tasting. We knew we had a time limit and service dragged us. By the end we were told we had to leave because we reached our time limit but we had paid for coffee and cappuccinos that hadn't come yet. Embarrassing to sit there feeling rushed out but knowing you paid for something you didn't get. Overall the music was great but beyond that it felt like a giant rip off this time. The worst item of the night:Seafood tower for $200. The worst one I have ever had. Nothing was fresh. Things covered in sauce to cover the lack of freshness?Best item of the night:Music

Stumbled across this place while looking for a spot to take my mom for her birthday. I wanted a warm, upscale feel with great vibes and that's exactly what we got! First thing, when making a reservation online be sure to select "Dining Room" and not "Lounge." Fortunately when we arrived the hostess suggested the dining room to enjoy the music. Shout out to her for looking out! This location also has matchbooks for those fellow avid collectors We sat down right by the stage. They have live music pretty much every day of the week so check their website for the schedule. The staff was extremely nice and welcoming. I wish I remember the name of our waitress! She was so cool. To start we orders drinks, I had a Tale Me Back to Tulum which was a sweeter drink made with blanco tequila, coconut and mango cream (which was delish!) mint, dry curaçao, lemon juice, and agave. My mom had her first old fashioned (very proud of her lol) and it was served with monkey shoulder scotch, angostura bitters, orange zest, demerara sugar, and hickory smoked. Knowing my mom's taste, I asked if they could make the old fashioned slightly sweeter and they made it perfect! It was honestly way better than my drink lol.Now for the food. There were so many things we wanted to try so we decided to order a bunch of appetizers and their scallops special. The apps included - Bourbon BBQ meatballs: overall solid. The sauce was smoky and not too watery - peekytoe crab cakes: this came with a nori egg sauce that really pulled the entire dish together! - Scallops: a few years ago I was burned by scallops. They gave me the worst food poisoning and I just never returned. However these restore my faith in scallops! Seared to perfection and topped on a bed of smooth and flavorful hummus and sautéed spinach. And as if it couldn't get any better, a tiny sprinkle of caviar. I wish it was a regular item on the menu because I would order it every single time.Moses Patrou killed it! A playlist of Blues, Jazz, and Soul accompanied our meal and I mean who can ask for a better experience??Would absolutely recommend The Flatiron Room Murray Hill and would come back in a heartbeat.

I came here a few times and the last time I was here was on a Sunday. The live band was great and I sat at the bar with a friend. We were able to catch up and drink some wine and have some delicious food. We had some caviar, wine, and a sushi roll. I wish I could remember the name of the roll, but I think it had Salmon & avocado with something else. It sounds simple, but that's only because I'm forgetting the rest of the toppings, but that was the base. Flavors were great & we wanted another roll, but we had to control ourselves.

I very much liked the jazz experience here, unfortunate that are table didn't have sight to musicians, but most tables do! The cocktails were deliciousssss!! We kept ordering different ones to try and they were all hits so truly can't go wrong. The appetizers were all so good too, the skirt steak was disappointing. Overall such a fun place and would return here with a group!

Outstanding evening. The food and ambiance were impressive. Everything was excellent. Our server Josue did an excellent job. Really enjoyed our night.

I loved this place so much I came back twice in a week. The first time, we were seated in the dining room area in front of the fireplace and right next to the live music. I got the "take me back to Tulum" which had a delicious fruity foam on top of a sweet cocktail. It was amazing. The second time, we were seated in the lounge area which was more secluded but didn't have the same vibe. I got the Rockstar martini this time which was nicely tart and delicious as well.

I dined at Flatiron in March for a friend's birthday dinner with a group of about 12. We had a set menu, and the food was sooo good. The family-style dining allowed us to share various delicious dishes. The drinks were enjoyable, though not very strong.The live music added a nice touch, and the performers did a great job. However, we were seated quite close to the stage, making it a bit loud at times. Despite this, the place was great and very accommodating. The service was fine--we always had a server, although they occasionally took a bit of time to switch dishes.All in all, Flatiron is a wonderful spot with tasty food, good drinks, and a lively atmosphere. I would recommend it for group gatherings and special occasions.
