Service was very slow. Our waiter kept returning to apologize for the wait, but we waited nearly an hour between our salad and the main course. My steak was very tough and the coffee with dessert was barely lukewarm warm. I had noted when I made the reservation that we were celebrating my wife’s birthday. No mention was made until he brought the check when he said he had just noticed it was a birthday celebration and jokingly said if we would you like him to sing happy birthday. I hope they were just having an off night, because it has been one of favorite places for a special occasion for many years.

Iron Gate is a gem that truly impressed. From the moment we stepped in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for a memorable dining experience. The attentive staff was knowledgeable and provided impeccable service, making us feel truly cared for. The food was the star of the show. The Zucchini Blossom was particularly outstanding, a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The Filet Mignon was another highlight, leaving us wanting more. If you’re seeking a dining experience that combines delicious food, excellent service, and a delightful atmosphere, this is the place to be.

We are new to the area and we found this restaurant on OpenTable. It was my husband's birthday and I wanted a place that was quiet, great food & wine and service. The Iron Gate far exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back. Our waiter, Stamos, was fantastic! His recommendations were spot on. We had escargot to start. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. We then had their signature salad which was prepared table side. I don't think I've ever had a better salad. For our main course, we had the Iron Gate version of lamb (there was also a New Zealand rack option) and the veal parmigiana. Both dishes were perfectly cooked and just phenomenal. For dessert, we had the grand mariner souffle and it was incredible. One of the best things about the restaurant was watching all of the flambe dishes. The servers were just so precise and you could tell they are passionate about giving each diner an experience.
