    Enjoyable Sunday evening. Good food, however a bit slow which was surprising given it wasn’t too jammed. Regardless, had a great time.

    We have dined at Ironside a number of times and have not been disappointed. The seafood is fresh the service outstanding and the overall ambience enjoyable. Parking is just around the corner, albeit a little expensive for 2 hours. The wine selection is limited, so if you are looking for a variety of fine wine, you may be disappointed. Overall a great dining experience.

    Service was spectacular! Also the seasonal menu is so well executed. The food comes out exactly as described in the menu and tastes great. I really have no complaints other than, if you’re trying to catch up with friends it’s a tad bit noisy for table conversation.

    The service and food were both excellent. One at my table had the lobster tacos, so delicious. The fish in the fish and chips was crispy and excellent. Large portions, two pieces came home. We were celebrating a birthday and the creme brulee was the gifted dessert which was great. Our server, whose name escapes me I'm sorry, was very attentive and efficient. I'll be back.
