My OH and I have been to Flinty Red, Bristol a few times and I thought I'd share our recent night out with you and hear from any of you that are local (or not!) and have been.
We have actually been 3 times since its opened and have enjoyed ourselves each time. The atmosphere is great, staff are friendly, knowledgable and helpful, the food is fab and the wine is available by the glass and bottle. They have a very large selection of wines both available by the glass or bottle. They have small and large plates for a lot of courses and the food is based on seasonality.
On Saturday, I chose the lemon and artichoke ravioli, the onglet (beef) and then we shared a desert of roast cherries, with chocolate fritters and cream. The pasta course was fantastically fresh and clean, the onglet was rare and had a great beef flavour (this was served with spinach and girolles - which I asked for instead of the courgettes it came with) and the roast cherries and fritters were also lovely!
When we came in we had a glass of reisling and a glass of gerwurtstraminer which were fabulous, the wines we chose for the main were good but not very memorable and then we had a desert wine which was great too!
If I had one complaint it would be that when its full, its difficult to hear what people are saying around you. I put this down to the acoustics (wooden floor, bare walls - no soft furnishings for damping of sound), therefore I probably wouldnt take my father in law as he has some hearing problems.
All in all, its a great restaurant, its got a relaxed, informal atmosphere and great food. Cant wait to go back!
