The food and service are very good. The portions are good. I wish the sauces weren't additional.

It was my girlfriend's birthday dinner and they were so attentive. I loved everything about them!

Thank you for making my engagement amazing. The restaurant staff was very supportive from the second I walked in the door. The desert plate was beautifully done with the ring in the middle.

Celebrated our 35th Wedding Anniversary. Had a fantastic experience and meal from apps to dessert. The raw oysters and shrimp cocktail were very fresh and delicious. We were not rushed to make our dinner selections. We ended up ordering a second app, not sure the name, but it was stuffed clams, oysters and shrimp. They were quite tasty as well, a delicate balance of breading and seasoning so as to still be able to taste the shellfish. We ordered the chateaubriand for two with a side of shelled lobster. It did not disappoint. Both the beef and lobster meat were so buttery and tender. We finished the meal with the cookie skillet, which had a very nice presentation with a "Happy Anniversary" message along with it. We have been to Cast Iron Chef Chop House & Oyster Bar several times before and have always had a wonderful experience.

We love it here...great food and great service. Sometimes they try to clear the table to quickly...my only pet peeve.

Our experience was absolutely wonderful! Our server, Brett, was professional, accommodating, and truly impeccable in every way — attentive without being intrusive and clearly dedicated to making sure we had a great experience. The restaurant itself was very clean, inviting, and well-maintained, with friendly and hardworking staff who go out of their way to accommodate guests. The food was amazing — served hot, full of flavor, and with generous portions. Overall, a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. We'll definitely be coming back!

Dinner was amazing, Raul served us and was so wonderful!!! He recommended the best wine to go with dinner and sang with us to our son for his bday. Food was fabulous! Affagatos were the perfect dessert. Thanks ❤️

Food was worth the wait. However the wait and service is what was questionable. Just 2 of us with no appetizers ordered, 2 cokes, pork chop and filet sandwich and it took over 2 hours. Wasn't packed either. Pork chop was amazing and the dessert was really good. (Cinnamon crunch bread pudding) during the 2 hours we received only 2 refills and had to ask 4 different times for those drinks. Popcorn was really good

Lovely ambience and attentive service. The food was very good overall, though a few dishes could use more seasoning. The tuna tartare was fresh but needed a bit more salt, and the entrée sides were somewhat plain. The oysters were very fresh and flavorful, the lamb chops were outstanding — tender and perfectly cooked — and the steak tartare was excellent. Overall, an enjoyable dining experience with minor room for improvement.

Terrible! Made reservations for 1:15 pm my wife and my anniversary. I ordered New York Strip MEDIUM WELL.... It came: Medium Rare! I asked waitress to cook more, she said she would be right back to do that: 15 minutes later she came back ! Note: the restaurant was Not bust only 4 people at one table 3 at another table and my wife and I at a table. At this point, waited so Long for waitress to come back to cook more and my wife was 1/2 way done with her meal. Needless to say I had waitress wrap it and I took it home to cook medium well myself. Very disappointing as this place rated good but obviously needs to know med well is Not med rare... and this was my wife and my anniversary. Also waitress took 15 min to come back to cook my steak more when not real busy! Glad I had my appetizer to eat smh. Do NOT re commend terrible for cook quality and waitress. Will NOT be back

Steaks were great as always. However, the entire restaurant was filled with smoke and we were told it was from a fan belt on the exhaust system. We left smelling like we were at a fire pit gathering as the smell settled into our clothing. I was honestly surprised to have an entire meal with a smoke filled restaurant as the smell was nauseating but we had reservations and too late to turn back at that point

Elizabeth

The food was excellent. The price is worth it because you get so much food. I was offered an alternative if steak was not cooked enough as the chef recommends cooking steak medium rare. The service was great.

Mona

Cast Iron did not disappoint... always a tasty experience..My fiancé's birthday dinner was a hit. The only downside was a screaming baby but that wasn't the restaurants fault.. I will always be back!

Emily
