The Iron Gate is an ideal restaurant for special occasions, known for its elegant dining experience with table-side preparation of flambe dishes and attentive staff dressed in suits. The menu has been delighting customers since the 1970s, with popular dishes like Caesar salad, Steak Diane, and soufflé for dessert. The restaurant, established in the 1960s, offers a wide selection of delicious dishes at reasonable prices, including a fresh crab salad grilled sandwich and fish & chips. The service is friendly and responsive, and the restaurant offers a comfortable bar for sharing light fare and a drink. Both the Hess wine (house wine) and Far Niente wine from Napa, CA, are excellent choices for a glass of Chardonnay. The Iron Gate also provides ample parking and has recently been upgraded, ensuring a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience. Customers appreciate the great old-time American food and enjoy the flame-cooked dishes like Steak au poivre and crepe suzette, which are prepared right next to the table. While service can be a bit slow, the friendly personality of the staff makes up for it. The restaurant's atmosphere and quality of food, including exceptional steaks, scallops, and the delicious crepe suzette, make it a highly recommended spot for a memorable meal.
