    I don’t even know where to begin.. I came here to celebrate my boyfriends 40th birthday. The waiter we had was Lonnie and he was absolutely exceptional from point A to point B. Welcoming, kind, attentive but not overbearing, fast, personable and just all around accommodating thus helping me execute a perfect birthday dinner evening. The Branzino was by far the best I’ve ever had and got my boyfriends first time trying it, he was a huge fan. Love this place! Will be back again. Thank you Lonnie for your great service!

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary (4th) and the entire staff was awesome. Everybody, from the young lady who checked us in to the folks who brought out or meal all congratulated us on our special day. Our waitress, Kim, was friendly, energetic, knowledgeable and attentive to all our needs. She made our celebration even better than I expected.

    The Menu at Cast Iron Chop House is vast and truly had something to offer everyone. We did not even get past the 20 or so appetizer options. We chose 4 and made them our meal. Each portion was very generous. The flavor profile and preparation of each dish was so well crafted. Our server Raoul was exceptional, a constant presence but not closing or intrusive. I will return for sure as we didn't tackle soups, salads, the majority of appetizers or any entree.
