FLINT by Baltaire

After a crippling 2 months helping a young family member pass and helping his pregnant wife grieve, my sis and I needed a night to escape. We wanted a nice meal in a beautiful place and Flint by Baltaire was our pick. Tonight was the first official night with a new menu and there were just a couple of hiccups with the timing of food and we were a bit bummed as this was such a needed nice evening out. Not one, but four members of the team ran circles and did pirouettes to make up for such a small timing issue. The chef found out I had stupidly ordered meatballs that had bread crumbs(my mistake) and he brought his own new creation of gluten free meatballs with a lebni sauce to our table. They were delicious!!! They were so accommodating from the food runners to the bartender to the manager to the Chef. The food was delicious and the drinks and great service were appreciated! You could not have known what we were going through but we left feeling so cared for and nourished. Thank you for the escape we needed.

3 of us went to happy hour last night - great prices, great drinks and great atmosphere. However, 2 of us ordered burgers and both had chunks of (am guessing bone) teeth cracking stone like pieces. Worse, my friend ordered a gluten free pizza and upon delivery he asked if it was gluten free. The wait staff hesitated and then said yes. Indeed it wasn’t gluten free and he suffered as a result of it. The burgers could have been a supplier problem but the pizza was clearly an issue with staff training on the importance of respecting dietary issues and requests. Overall disappointing experience.

Best happy hour in Phoenix. The bartender, as well as the chef, went above and beyond to offer me a gluten free burger. The cocktails are fantastic. This place is a new go-to
