    Nestled in the heart of Oklahoma city is Flint restaurant. Upscale, but not pretentious, with a kiss of nostalgic class that will have you not only singing their praise but going back for more. The atmosphere is elegant, and the food is delicious with ample servings. Although there is no kid menu, Flint is kid friendly. ADA compliant. Parking can be tricky, but there is valet service. Moderately to high priced. Excellent wine, cocktail, and mocktail selection.

    What a nice surprise dinner on a business trip to OKC. The Paseo area of town looked pretty cool and possibly nice to stroll had the weather been warmer. The restaurant itself was great. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Felt comfortable. The sheer curtains hanging at the table were sorta odd but looked odder in photos than reality. Not sure they were necessary but then I was with a coworker and not a date. Food was fantastic! Loved the mushroom soup! Whole mushrooms in a delicious, creamy soup! Octopus appetizer… WOW! Really nice. Very tender. Not rubbery or chewy at all. Nice size for two to share. My duck was perfect! Substituted fried green beans for the sautéed green beans and they were really good! (Sorry no food pics since I was with a coworker!)

    Just happened upon this place. The food was excellent. The strudel appetizer and the Caesar with chicken were both remarkable. The server was very attentive. Great experience!
