   Amazing! Absolutely Incredible! As someone with with many allergies--including pepper, anything spicy, dairy, red spices, ginger, vinegar, wine, beer, champagne, olives, walnuts, kidney beans, kiwi, pineapple, eggplant, just to name a few--it can be extremely difficult to find places, especially in new cities, where I am able to eat the same caliber of beautiful food as everyone else. As a standard, I do my best to advise restaurants at least a week in advance about my allergies and carry allergy cards with me. I am aware that many find my list daunting and have a hard time creating accommodations, and I am, unfortunately, frequently left with boiled chicken or tasteless veggies. This was NOT my experience at Iron Gate! From the start, The Iron Gate team welcomed me. The hostess helped me to my seat in a beautiful patio and put before me an individualized menu--printed earlier that day--designed to accommodate my allergies. Delightful greetings and menu elaborations were followed by beautiful, textured, flavorful food with unique, innovative drink pairings. The service was stellar--attentive, responsive, generous, and warm--as was the overall vibe and atmosphere. Deep gratitude to everyone in front and back of the house who contributed to this unforgettable experience. I look forward to visiting again!!

   Cool space, that’s about it. Food was not very good at all and overpriced. The waiter never bothered to get my son’s entree order. We barely swallowed what we did order because it was not great. Can think of better ways to spend $100!

   It would be great to baffle the conversational noise in the main dining room if possible.

   Thank you for your feedback! We really appreciate you letting us know about the conversational noise in the main dining room. We’re looking into ways to enhance the space—possibly with some sound-baffling solutions—to make it even more enjoyable. We’d love to have you back to see the difference, and we’re open to any other ideas you might have!

   Very good, as always. Terrific service, warm ambiance. Seven people in our party so we had the full range of the menu. All excellent without exception.

   Beautiful restaurant and very delicious food. The hostess and server were extremely friendly. Only complaint was that we were seated inside and there was an extremely noisy group that disturbed the otherwise pleasant atmosphere. Overall it was a great experience.
