Hmmmm... Irma's... Tucker's... The Garage.. S&B... Those are all some heavy hitters in the OKC burger market that serve turkey burgers.

Urban Johnnie's serves chicken burgers.

Cow Calf-Hay serves one of the best turkey burgers, according to my wife, she won't eat anybody else's.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary by staying the night at the Colcord and the package we chose included a $50.00 credit at Flint, so of course we ate there for dinner (otherwise we might have enjoyed the view from Vast, which I think is probably glorious this time of year with Christmas lights and such, but I digress).

The food was a good. We had the charcuterie plate to start. It was all good, but I might have preferred a little more meat included on the plate. The presentation was also a little off. I'm not usually one to get to concerned over something like that, but some of the items were just piled on each other. My wife, who does not like onions at all, was especially disappointed that one of the cheeses was underneath the pickled onions.

My hanger steak was tasty and juicy. A little overcharred maybe, but I still enjoyed it. The mac & cheese that came with it was pretty good. The scallops were okay, but I'm not much of a seafood guy. My wife had the crispy smothered potato wedges. She thought they were really good. The bison pot roast (which the wedges were topped with) was very rich.

Our server was fine. She might have been a little quicker on the draw refilling my drink, but I never felt neglected. She did say "you're welcome" when I said "thank you," so she had that going for her.

We skipped dessert at the restaurant proper, but we ordered it as room service later in the evening (as Flint provides room service for the Colcord). We got the strawberry shortcake and were pretty disappointed. The ratio of strawberries and whipped cream to shortcake was way too low. We ended up having to scrape up the last remaining vestiges of whipped cream to help the dry cake go down. That was probably the low of the night.

All in all, I'd probably choose somewhere else if I were wanting to have a nice dinner out or something, but I wouldn't dissuade anyone else from going if this is where they wanted to go or be disappointed if someone brought me here.

Isn't Flint still in the process of getting their sh*t together? I thought I read in the Gazette that Vast and V2 are in their newly updated/finished state (new menu, layout, dress code, everything), but Flint won't be there until sometime in the first few months of 2016...

[bradh]

when has Flint ever had their **** together?

[TheTravellers]

when has Flint ever had their **** together?

And that's why they're pretty close to the bottom of our "to try" list, until Fleischfresser & co. get finished with it.

[Teo9969]

I don't think Fleischfresser has anything to do with Flint.

[TheTravellers]

He was in the past, was under the impression he still is, unless somebody knows something different...

FLINT KICHEN & BAR UNVEILS SPECTACULAR TRANSFORMATION AS IT REOPENS ITS DOORS

FLINT, the renowned dining establishment nestled within OKC’s Colcord Hotel, has reopened its doors, revealing a breathtaking transformation of its interior alongside an enticing array of new menu offerings. With the opulent embrace of sumptuous leather booths, majestic marble columns, and lavish gold accents throughout, dining at FLINT is now synonymous with an unparalleled sensory experience. As of this week, patrons can immerse themselves in the newly refined yet casually elegant dining ambiance, savoring classic American culinary masterpieces spanning from delectable brunch creations to artisanal cocktails and an award-winning wine selection. A completely renovated private dining room also awaits for elevated special occasions and gatherings. Reservations can be booked HERE.

While the restaurant has a fresh new look, the FLINT team is committed to honoring the history of their space. FLINT offers a variety of oyster features on the menu to pay homage to the oyster bar that previously occupied the Colcord lobby. Showcasing traditional raw oysters, fried oysters with a jalapeno remoulade and grilled oysters with garlic butter, guests will be enjoying shellfish at FLINT season after season.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to reintroduce FLINT to both locals in Oklahoma City and travelers alike,” said Justin George, Assistant General Manager. “As a historic property, we are looking forward to continuing to share food and friendship with all who walk through our doors for years to come.”

In addition to the sensational oyster options, FLINT offers a wide array of previous favorites and new creations. From regional delicacies like shrimp & grits or the Oklahoma state meal, a hand-breaded chicken fried steak, to fantastic brunch options like a jumbo cinnamon roll with candied walnuts and an espresso glaze. The revamped menu features American fare with Midwestern roots and a decidedly Southern influence, including the FLINT cheeseburger, featuring a brisket blend patty, cheddar cheese and all the classic fixings. Not to be missed is the cocktail menu, offering classics like the Negroni, Paper Plane and Sazerac, alongside seasonal specials like Figurati, Cider Delighter and Applejack Rabbit. Their wine list, recipient of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2023, is well versed with recognizable labels, unique expressions and obscure gems alike!

Had cocktails there two nights ago. I really like the updates.

[Martin]

oh... i need one of those light fixtures for my kitchen.

I wanted to give Flint props for accommodating a large group on their patio, even though the inside space was closed for remodeling.

I organized my HS class reunion at the Park House in August and one downside was that we had to be out by 11 PM. So I contacted Flint and asked if they could be sure to stay open from 11 PM onward that evening and have bartenders on hand.

They were fantastic and confirmed back with me a few days before. And of course I couldn't guarantee a certain number but estimated around 50 and that's exactly what we had walk over there. Flint was not only well-prepared, but they had arranged most of the outdoor furniture for a group and had two bartenders ready and waiting.

We were the only ones there but stayed until 1:30 AM. It was incredible service, especially since we could not guarantee a large number.

Greatly impressed by what they did for us and that patio is one of the most underrated spots in all of OKC.

I love that outdoor space. It never seems to be well-used however.

I love that outdoor space. It never seems to be well-used however.

The view at night of the lit-up Colcord ornate details, Devon Tower and the Myriad Gardens is really special.

Unfortunately, it's on the west side of the building so it's blazing hot until the sun goes down in the summer. Even with umbrellas, there is a lot of reflected heat off the building.

I hosted a fairly large happy hour on their patio a few years ago and I was similarly impressed. It's a really cool space (though it's a very hot space in the summer lol).

Has anyone been to Flint and tried their new Seafood dinner options? Trying to see if it is worth it. Thanks!
