    We never miss an opportunity to dine at Restaurant Iron when traveling through Pensacola. Every aspect of the meal is superb. Outstanding cocktails, creative and delicious salads, unbelievable entrée offerings that do not disappoint and desserts that are a delight. We had the honor of working with Amber as our server and she was exceptional. We appreciate all that goes into making this a world class restaurant and look forward to visiting next time we are in town.

    Another absolutely delicious meal. A warm, inviting oasis from the torrential downpour. The staff was kind and understanding and of course the food was stupendous.

    I was seated at the end of the bar closest to the kitchen. I really enjoyed this spot because it’s a better view of the actual cooking than what I have experienced at the food counter.

    The food was excellent and the service was top tier. Our server took time to wish us a happy anniversary and was very knowledgeable about the cocktails and menu. He made several recommendations, and was not lying! The smoked old fashioned was the best I’ve had in a very long time, and I truly enjoyed my redfish.

    Fun doing the Early Bird 3 course wine paring dinner. Our server was spot on and the food was delicious. My Dad even said he now likes brussel sprouts. The steak was great. We did order some great pre dinner cocktails. The Old Fashioned with the bacon is always a hit.
