Wineshark HK Restaurant Review - Flat Iron Steak

This steak house is located in Soho, on Staunton Street in Central. When I made reservation, it was still known as Macelle, but from last week it was taken over by Flat Iron Steak, operating as a pop-up until the end of the year, offering steak at affordable prices.

The restaurant is not big in size but got some outdoor seatings. There is an open kitchen and a food case displaying different steaks. Apart from the individual serving, for sharing purposes there is also an option of 1.2kg Tomahawk Steak or 1kg T-bone Steak.

After asking for some recommendations, we decide to order 11oz Black Angus Hanger Steak with Fries ($198) and 11oz Iberico Pork Rack with Garlic Mash, Roasted Broccoli, and Red Wine Jus ($238). The beef is tender and juicy, grilled to perfect medium level, with Italian Salsa Verde to go along. The fries are also prepared on order. A pleasant surprise in terms of its quality, and good value for money.

The pork has a bit of pink, with the meat still juicy and not dry, while the surface has been grilled nicely to give a bit of char and flavors. With the red wine jus, the pork rack has the right seasonings, but the mashed potatoes are not silky enough in texture. The side dish of broccoli is decent, with the sesame adding an extra layer of aromas.

Service is commendable, with the staff attentive and friendly. Together with a lime soda ($42) and two glasses of Goose Island IPA Draught ($156), the total bill on the night is $694. Considering the quality of the steak and the overall experience, a good value for money place for a simple steak and fries meal.
