Made reservations, was seated promptly. Our food took an hour and a half to arrive. It was mediocre at best and wildly overpriced. Will never go back.

It was not a great experience. We came here with our family about 20 people the day after our wedding. It ruined the day for us, food took an hour and a half to come out. The food was cold and it was hard to get find our waiter. They spilled the drink on one us. Would give negative stars if possible.

Love this place!!!! Sit at the bar and Jackie will take care of you! So many great choices! Get there by 5:30 and you will get the best happy hour in town! You'll get a salad or a cup of soup with your order! I had the curry and it was so fresh and spicy! My girl had the kebabs and they were excellent!

Overpriced Easter brunch at Ironwood! The food was not impressive for a 3 course meal. We were seated right away but did not see a waitress right away and our food took forever to be served and with one meal missing!! We were so hungry and wanted to wait for our son's food to come out. Not even a visit from the manager to apologize. The waitress did not bring us our 2 desserts also that she said the chef wanted us to have since they didn't have any gluten free options. They also took 20% gratuity when we received bad service on. $230.00 dollar meal.

We went back tonight because they were supposed to have a new menu. What a joke. I had the Barata Bruschetta, which used to come with a beautiful Barata and pickled beets. I couldn't believe only bits of the Barata were put on the toast, and there were no beets. There were only a few changes on the menu, nothing like it used to be with a new spring pasta and lovely summer dishes. The chef is just lazy and thinks he can just slide by with their reputation. His father would never have allowed this. So disappointing.

We came for couples lunch, great choice! Their dining room feels very rich and inviting, staff were extremely courteous and attentive. Gnocchi was easily a top 3 I've ever had, fantastic. Soups and salads fresh and incredible too. Can't really say enough about them, nice menu selections and worth the trip!

Place is very noisy and it's hard to hold a conversation. The food is ok but not worth the high prices.

Wonderful place to go for a nice lunch or dinner. Always clean and well kept. Food is nicely presented and fresh. Salmon tacos are the best!

What a nice place and wonderful food/service. Our large party sat outside in the covered patio with plenty of heaters and great service. Our server Courtney was spot on with the entire group from start to finish. Be sure to ask for her! With the "steps of service" declining in so many places, it was great to have Courtney take care of every detail. The menu is diverse with protein options, starter salads were large, and our GF person was ecstatic of the number of GF option. Their garden was just off the patios, so I would think during the growing season, at least some their weekly specials would be from the garden. The inside was full and had a vibrant energy. The sound inside was low which is a nice change after restaurants feeling the need to be loud to seem entertaining. I think the layout/design including high ceilings help to reduce the volume. If I ever get back in the warmer weather, I would be sure to enjoy their large patio.

Went to this place on our Anniversary and was quite disappointed. Ambiance and waitress were great but the food was sub par and way over priced for the quality. I ordered the crispy duck and it tasted like they threw it a vat of old grease. Dry and no flavor. We may try again hoping maybe it was the cooking staffs off day. I'll keep you posted.

This place is living off its old reputation. Massively overpriced for mediocre steaks. My wife's filet was undercooked. My medium ribeye was closer to medium rare. 48 and 68 dollars for steaks on the same level if i bought at kroger and cooked on the grill. We ordered a 21 dollar charcuterie board. It didn't have half the things our waiter said. It didn't have 3 types of salami, but only 1. It was if they looked at what was lying around and dumped on it. It had no crackers. They toasted the same whie btead that they served in a basket. Caesar salad was ok. Drinks were normal high prices. 200 dollars for this after tax and tip. What a joke. They also were understaffed. I forgot to mention that the main reason we went was because my wife picked a scallop dish off their website. My menu had it, but it was missing on my wifes. Found out they got rid of it. Lost my picture of my pitiful steak! It did come with asparagus and whipped potatoes. Ha ha.
