    Had a fun date night with my husband. We always enjoy ironwood. The cocktails are delicious (hot okdiehawn is my favorite). And the service is great. My husband enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich and I had a simple butter lettuce salad with blackened salmon. Both dishes were delicious. This time we sat at a high top by the bar. We enjoyed the vibe.

    Wonderful Valentine evening dinner. My concern is that I had an 8:30 pm reservation. I ordered the New York Steak Medium Rare. It was served medium well. I am a brittle diabetic and if I sent the steak back to the kitchen, it could have been at least a 15 minute delay before I could eat. I did not want my blood sugar levels to drop to a dangerous low. The rest of my party would have completed their dinner, since the food portions were quite small. Other than this concern, I recommend this establishment and will dine here again.

    We were warmly greeted by the hostess and were sat at our table within 10 minutes or less. Our server Amanda came by the table shortly and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and item specific. Throughout dinner she was attentive and prompt. The Macadamia Nut Halibut is fantastic and a must try. Their selection of oysters is also good and all were very tasty. We will definitely be coming back.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants so it was my first choice for my birthday dinner. The new owner is great and nothing has changed on the menu (so far- hope nothing does!). The one thing that has changed is the music and it is much more appropriate for this restaurant in my honest opinion. I can’t recommend this place enough- the mango martinis, tuna tartare, skirt steak, chipotle chicken sandwich, scallop risotto, Maui onion soup to say a few.

    Our first time visiting this restaurant. We went there after looking over the menu on line. It is an extensive menu with a lot of good choices to try. We had a fried artichoke starter that was fantastic. The garlic bread provided for the table was also a big hit. Our server was fantastic and prices are reasonable as far as restaurants go these days. There is a lot of good seating unlike so many Italian restaurants that are so limited. Our main course (51) was delicious and serving size was over the top. A second meal to bring home. Overall it's a great local restaurant. Noise level was over the top however maybe that''s because it was Valentine's Day. We will no doubt go back and try different menu selections.
