An absolute joy to dine here. Love the history, love the people, and especially love the food. If you're into history and spooky ghost stories, this is the perfect place to visit!

We have now eaten here for several years. They are always understaffed. Expect 45 minutes from the time you order to getting your food. Didn't see our server much but the young blond girl busser gave great service and attention.
My wife's filet mignon was ordered as medium. It was dry and cool. Of course, it sat waiting to be served. I had the seafood pasta in a sherry cream sauce. Seafood was good but sauce was crap. It had no taste and reminded me of water with corn starch and a bit of flavor I cannot place!
It is a go to in the area but actually is just a place to say you had dinner there. It probably had a good reputation over time but sadly, has faded.
Go there to say you did, but find somewhere else if you want your money's worth.

A $3 Scoop of Ice Cream Lost You a Lifetime Customer Our recent experience at the Iron Door was deeply disappointing and frankly insulting. We’ve been coming to this restaurant since the early 1980s and have always considered it a staple. But after this visit, we will not be returning. We were a group of nine with a bill well over $500. My 9-year-old daughter ordered a $42 steak medium, and it was served rare. As kids do, she cut it up before realizing it wasn’t cooked correctly. When we brought this to the waitress’s attention, she apologized but did absolutely nothing. No offer to cook it further. No replacement. No concern. We simply asked if she could be offered a scoop of ice cream—a $3 goodwill gesture—since her entrée was barely touched. The manager checked with the owner, who declined. When we asked to speak with the owner directly, we were told he was too busy to talk to us. Too busy for a long-time customer. Too busy to address a very reasonable request. Too busy to save a relationship that has lasted over 40 years. We did not order dessert. We will not be returning. And we will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone else again. The photo of the steak is attached. But more damaging than any photo is the message your restaurant sent us: long-term loyalty doesn’t matter. Hospitality doesn’t matter. And a child’s ruined meal isn’t worth a moment of your time—or a $3 scoop of ice cream. Message received. We contested the charge for the steak with the credit card company card company and they refunded us. Citi: Great news! We've resolved this dispute in your favor and issued a credit of $53.87 to your acct.
The food and service were excellent. The atmosphere was incredible.

I went here for the first time for my dad's birthday last month. My parents have been here a few times. The food and service was great. The food is a bit pricey but it's worth it. We will be back =)

I have grown up coming to this amazing place. I have watched it change hands, and each owner put their own touches on it. This season is hands down the best experience I've had. I shared it with family and friends; and it would be my top recommendation for somewhere special to go in the area. We can't wait to go back!

Unfortunately this place has become slightly out of hand with their prices for the window deck. $1000 for the window deck deposit? The deck is ancient and really isn’t worth it but apparently there are clowns willing to pay for it. Besides the outrageous requirements this place is delicious. Sometimes it’s hit and miss as I’ve been coming over the past 6 years due to keeping staff but see for your self.

Been here many times in the past. Still wonderful service and atmosphere!! My second icetea never came. ?
Generally speaking, the food was cooked to expectatio. Medium pepper steak and medium 16 oz ribeye with scampi lobster sauce. We ordered the sauce on the side. Really good idea!!!
Everything was very salty. Use caution if salt is a concern. The pepper steak, and sauce, was borderline to much. The ribeye, plain and alone, was over salted. The scampi lobster sauce was so salty it was inedible. Again, it was on the side so we could still eat the over salty steak!
New owners from the original owners. There has been other transitions.
Very nice place, highly recommended!!!
I hope the chef will see this. As a chef myself, you can always add more, you can't take away. And if your cooking taste leans towards the salty side... let someone else be the judge.
Thanks for a nice dinner!!!

From our initial interaction with Cameron (front of house) to the superb bartending by Logan, to the awesome service by Diana and Mya, to the best food we have had in a long long time, we loved every minute of our dinner tonight. Thank you again to the entire Iron Door team!
