Such a great experience! Sign up for the Family Table menu! All the delicious Greek inspired flavors paired with wine. The orange and dessert wine weren't my fav but I have a dry palette. We absolutely loved the ambiance and top shelf service!

The Imported Burrata dish was spectacular! The ambiance was cozy and our server was attentive, but I will return to Iron Gate time and time again for the Imported Burrata appetizer. The crackers were crunchy, the Burrata offered the perfect creaminess, pickled scallions an unexpected twist, and the honey lemon sauce rounded the appetizer out perfectly.

Perfect spot for our anniversary. The staff was incredibly attentive throughout and the food was delicious. We did the four courses and the wine pairing and were impressed every step of the way by the taste, presentation, and attention to detail. We will definitely be coming back!

A lovely lunch on their vine covered terrace. Food was delicious and promptly served. Staff was attentive and gracious about letting us stay past serving time to catch up with old friends. Will definitely come again.

Love love LOVE Iron Gate! This was my third time here; I brought my best friends who were visiting from out of the country. The setting is beautiful, as always; and the service was friendly, attentive, and professional. Our waiter, Darien, was amazing! The food was absolutely delicious... even with all the courses on the family table, we were served a couple extra "bonus" dishes. Soooooo much food... we all left stuffed, having had not a single bad dish. Highly recommend and I know I'll be back!

Stumbled upon this restaurant when looking to have dinner with my husband while visiting DC. The reviews looked promising so I booked the table. We were seated in a timely manner and were lead to the dining room through the long bar at the front of the restaurant. The server was very knowledgeable and told us a little bit about the restaurant. It's interesting to hear about the history that you can literally smell in the air. The food was delicious and the whole atmosphere was vey pleasant. The courtyard looked very nice too and hopefully we can be back soon to experience another lovely dish at this place.

The chilled red pepper soup with maryland crab was absolutely delicious! Pair it with a beautiful caesar salad and I was in heaven. The outdoor seating was so nice on a perfect weather day. Service was great and we'll be back.

Absolutely PHENOMENAL food and service!!! I could not have wished for a better experience. Staff was attentive, food was outstanding and I would highly recommend!! This place is great for casual dining but also for a special occasion, it's that good!

Extended Restaurant Week Menu. Super value. Delicious Watermelon/Feta Salad, Shrimp dish in cast iron skillet & Chocolate/hazelnut mouse. All where excellent. Staff was very attentive.

Restaurant Week did not disappoint. A smattering of delectable dishes, included a dessert. My bride went for the additional wine pairing featuring an array of varietals that would make any somm salivate. Overall, the fixed menu was a treat. I loved the roast chicken; my wife enjoyed the heirloom tomato salad. The goat cheese stole the show. Portions were big enough to share, but the food was so good, we repeatedly found ourselves in epic turf battles waged over the final bites. The Iron Gate's ambiance and service -- always enjoyable -- was once again consummate, truly a masterclass in prioritizing the guest experience and turning walk-ins into regular customers. The evening ended with a special handwritten note and an additional sweet treat to honor our special event.
We've always enjoyed this restaurant so we brought our (adult) kids here during restaurant week and had a truly outstanding meal. The service, ambience, and especially the food all hit the mark,

Came here for Summer Restaurant Week. Overall the food was average, nothing too special. Given the atmosphere and quality of food, I do not think it was worth $100+ per person (added focaccia and 1 wine to the $65). The arancini was good, and the watermelon salad had good flavor. The chicken breast was decent, and the casarecce pasta was a bit oily. Bittersweet chocolate budino wasn't the best. Service was great, and the ambiance was also very cool.

The outside patio was quiet and pleasant. Both our server and the bartender, who came over to chat with us about cocktail ingredients (and provide a sample!) really made the experience special.
Amy
Deeply appreciate everything all the staff did to make our meal experience very enjoyable! We appreciate the hospitality Natalie provided, and the creativity that the chef used to adjust to our allergies!
David
Charming service, historic setting, nice wine pairing, but the food was just ok, seemed rather old fashioned and only a few of the many dishes in the family/fixed price service 'popped'. Perhaps they could do fewer courses and make them a little more delicious
