   Very good. Server Tina was great! Very happy overall. Kind of pricey but that’s ok

   We never got to our meal, with a reservation, we waited over 45 minutes to be seated. Another 5 minutes for water, then the waitress sat down with the table beside us an told the she wasn't a waitress by trade so if their meal sucked she was sorry. We didn't want to pay $200 for a meal that sucked so we left.

   We had a 7PM reservation and did not get seated until almost 7:30. Nonetheless, once we were seated our server and food were amazing!

   Arrived at 4:45 for a 5:00 reservation. No one at the hostess station, waited 18 minutes to be greeted. Was seated at a table for six not four. 20 minutes later a server asked if anyone took our drink order and we said no. Five more minutes the server took our drink order. 12 minutes later we got our drinks. Two cokes a sprite and a water. 50 minutes in and finally a drink. After another ten she took our order. 40 minutes later our food came out, each plate was brought out separately. The food tasted ok but was cold. Additional drinks came slowly but after two hours we were given our checks and we got out of there. We were charged full price in spite of the long delays and bad service. (Two couples got up and walked out). I will never go there again.

   The waiter we had was awesome despite being new to the job. That said, we had a unique experience in the sense we tried to walk in and get a seat and were told they were only accepting reservations and that they were booked all night. Hearing this, knowing we weren’t dressed our best, we were curious to see if there were any last minute cancels. To our surprise there were several reservations times open and in fact during our dinner we noticed that not a single person came in after us. We originally came in at 8 and were denied, but later set a res for 8:30pm and were laughed at when we came back in for it. The place was not busy at all, maybe 20% capacity and we did up spending around $150 for a meal between myself and my wife. Overall the food was fair, but overpriced for what you get. The service was good, but the host staff seemed more worried about trying to get the restaurant to close early than provide equitable service to all its guests.

   Our server was great and super attentive to us. My wife and I went to celebrate Valentine’s Day 2025 at Iron Rock. The service was great and always made sure we had our drinks and if we needed anything. However other than our BBQ pulled pork nachos, our food left us unfulfilled. The nachos were amazing and we loved those. However my wife ordered the Alfredo and the cheese was overcooked and curdled making it very grainy and almost sour tasting. My steak was okay but most of it was a large portion of fat that after cutting away took my New York Strip from a decent size to about the size of a steak medallion. While our food wasn’t awful we left wishing it would’ve been a lot better. You can tell our reservation was at 9:00 pm (one of two last available options when we booked) the kitchen was most likely just burnt out. Things did come out fast but I would’ve definitely preferred waiting longer if it meant the quality would’ve been much higher. My wife and I came here twice before this trip and the first time thought it was amazing and made us want even more even though I waited over an hour and a half for my steak (which the staff compensated us heavily for and we got to meet the chef as he made an appearance just to apologize to me) we didn’t mind it was great experience. The second time the menu had changed and there wasn’t much either of us had any interest in, nonetheless we still tried to enjoy the experience there and left saying it was okay. But this last trip for our valentine dinner just left us almost sad, realizing it just didn’t work out the way we hoped and we weren’t mad at anyone just that we probably wouldn’t return. The price vs quality just isn’t there and I can’t justify paying what we do for what is unfortunately a lackluster turnout. Each time my wife and I have went it’s been over a $100 bill for all three trips before tip as well, for me personally if I’m paying that much I can’t have two of the three experiences being poor.

   Are here before and remembered it being fantastic! Live music Wes nice but was too loud to have a conversation. Got the Filet and it was cooked to temperature but the accompanying baked potato was Luke warm and the broccolini under seasoned. A good meal nonetheless, but not what I remember it being.

   What a disappointment. The Fettuccine Alfredo was more like Al dente. The Pan Seared Scallops were not seared and were lukewarm warm with a raw middle. No golden caramelized finish as described on the menu. The baked potato was not done and seemed a little stale. The Maryland Crab Dip with chips was the highlight.

    Out of white wine, and 3 entrees. No gluten free pasta. I ordered 5 entrees until they found a Gluten Free Option. Our bill was 172$ and salad was limp, baked potatoes were over cooked and salmon was tiny.
