    Good service and good food - good news! Missed some of the old-world bohemian dishes that were on the old menu (schnitzel and red cabbage in particular), but enjoyed the experience… especially since we live only 5 mins away.

    A win for Shelton…Our first time here and highly recommend! Our server, Julia, was just on third week working there and service was outstanding and food was great! Recommend mussels-the fennel and roasted garlic cream sauce was so tasty as was the octopus; the gnocchi is so fresh, it melts in your mouth; linguine & clams: an excellent amount of clams and limes how they chunks of tomatoes and foccacia crumbs. Will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu. Hope they maintain their level of service and food quality.

    Wonderful evening with our friends. The meal was excellent, as was the wait staff. Staff recommendations were helpful, meal options were diverse, so we were all very happy with our selections. Our friends had never been to the restaurant before, they loved the meal and look forward to returning. We have been several times and have always enjoyed the food and service and will be back again.

    The Menu at Cast Iron Chop House is vast and truly had something to offer everyone. We did not even get past the 20 or so appetizer options. We chose 4 and made them our meal. Each portion was very generous. The flavor profile and preparation of each dish was so well crafted. Our server Raoul was exceptional, a constant presence but not closing or intrusive. I will return for sure as we didn't tackle soups, salads, the majority of appetizers or any entree.
