"Flatiron Kitchen and Taphouse in Davidson, NC is a jewel in our national culinary crown. Chef Bill Schultz deserves national accolades as one of our most creative food masters and restaurateurs. I travel extensively, and, thanks to often unlimited client expense accounts, I frequent fine restaurants throughout the country. Last night I was once again reminded that one of the finest dining experiences is here in my own backyard, at Flatiron. Their pork chops are amazing; flank steak dishes consistently marvel; and their grilled salmon surpassed any of the salmon my wife and I ate last week while touring Alaska. Added bonuses: Always friendly and welcoming staff; and Flatiron 's recent, total renovation has created a wonderfully open, comfortably classy atmosphere. As our dining companion last evening put it, From start to finish, this meal was New-York good! I give Flatiron my highest rating."
