    This place is amazing!! We went for my husbands birthday and I made reservations. They had special “Happy Birthday” menus and a free birthday dessert! My husband didn’t like the meal he ordered (something wrong with the meat) and they let him order a new entree! The server and all the staff were so wonderful.

    Restaurant Iron never, ever disappoints! The Iron Team is friendly, respectful and helpful. The atmosphere is calm, yet full of the type of energy one would want while dining in a special setting. The food? yes, spectacular, full of flavor and extraordinary presentation. Iron is my go to place for special occasions as well as the place that I want to drop in for a fantastic meal.

    We really enjoyed the kitchen counter and watching all the great food being prepared. Pastry Chef/Pass Chef was wonderful to talk with. Iron is the place for interesting food with great flavors.

    The food and service were outstanding. The Waitress was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. For the first half of the meal I didn’t appreciate the profanity coming from the table next door. This is not the restaurants fault. They eventually left and I was able to enjoy my delicious dinner. I definitely will be back.
