About Flat Iron Cambridge

Flat Iron Cambridge is a steak house on Market Passage in Cambridge, where every guest leaves with a complimentary vanilla soft-serve cone dusted with chocolate, plus a small cleaver as a gift. The menu is mainly drinks, steaks and a few sides, and there is no dessert menu. The steaks include wagyu, a 35-day aged ribeye and the flat iron cut. Beers are served in 2/3 pint measures, and popcorn is topped up at the table. Seating is upstairs. Walk-ins are taken without a reservation, and a wait for a table is common at busy times. Bookings can also be made through the restaurant's website.

Customer Review Summary

Diners most often single out the steak, with the wagyu cuts named repeatedly, including a wagyu sirloin and a wagyu rib eye, alongside a 35 day aged ribeye, usually described as cooked perfectly. Close behind is the free ice cream handed out at the exit, a vanilla soft serve with chocolate dusting, and one reviewer got Haitian vanilla and brown butter. Sides such as truffled macaroni cheese, roasted aubergine and house fries get praise, and the short beer pours are called a perfect amount. Service draws warm comments, with servers described as friendly, welcoming and good with children, and one table of six with a nut allergy felt well looked after. The main complaints concern the menu. One diner was let down by the crispy bone marrow mash, which turned out to be plain mash, and found the sides limited, while another called the sauces and chips average. Waits come up too, with one visitor treating a long wait as an endorsement. Several guests mention leaving with a small gifted cleaver or a token for ice cream.

    “We had such a lovely experience at Flat Iron! The food was delicious and the service was brilliant. Our server Amy was absolutely fantastic, so friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout our visit. She was especially lovely with our little boy, who absolutely adored her! She really made our experience that little bit more special. Such a lovely atmosphere and we’ll definitely be returning! ❤️”

    “We had a wonderful time at Flat Iron Cambridge on Sep 23rd! Romeo greeted us when we arrived and I mentioned that it was my first time dining at Flat Iron after hearing so much about it from my husband. When we were leaving, he remembered what I’d said and asked how we enjoyed our meal. He even gifted us two of the little cleavers! Such a thoughtful gesture and a lovely touch to our visit. Thank you Romeo for the wonderful service ☺️”

    “Just visiting Cambridge so unfamiliar with Flat Iron, we popped in on the off-chance. There was a great reception on arrival and a 40 minute wait for a table felt like an endorsement of the restaurant not an inconvenience. Great table, attentive service, a simple menu (a blessing in these days of too many choices) and a lovely selection of wines and beers. Perfectly cooked steak. Good value for great quality.”

    “Food was excellent! Ordered a medium-cooked Wagyu steak & medium-rare-cooked 35-Day aged ribeye and they were amazing! Had truffled macaroni cheese & their house-specialty fries for the sides which were also delightful! AND the free ice cream after (we got a Haitian Vanilla and Brown butter that day)!!! 😋”
  • Usagi.01
    “The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was great. You can see the staff here really works hard to make sure everyone has a great dining experience! Quality of the steaks are good for the price point and I’d recommend the flat iron over the ribeye. I also got a burger which is a good alternative option for anyone in a group who doesn’t want steak. The sauces and chips were average but the complimentary ice cream at the end was very delicious!”
