    Enjoyable Sunday evening. Good food, however a bit slow which was surprising given it wasn’t too jammed. Regardless, had a great time.

    We have dined at Ironside a number of times and have not been disappointed. The seafood is fresh the service outstanding and the overall ambience enjoyable. Parking is just around the corner, albeit a little expensive for 2 hours. The wine selection is limited, so if you are looking for a variety of fine wine, you may be disappointed. Overall a great dining experience.

    Everything was perfect until I got my Louis salad that I asked for half the amount. I’ve been to Brigantine many many times and never had such a small portion and they told me I was gonna have extra lettuce and yet it was drenched in salad dressing. the seafood was great, but the salad was inadequate. My server did bring a to go container with fresh salad and seafood in it to make up for it. The chef needs to learn what it is to do half salad. $18. Wasted.

    This place has been a gem for the better part of 3 decades. Chef's have come and gone but it stays consistently great. Great food, outstanding service and the best wine list to value that you can find in the whole city. We had not been in a while and during dinner we had to ask ourselves why. Try it, you'll love it.
