Our food and cocktails reflect the feel of prohibition supper clubs. This not to say we're stuck in the past, but rather that we try and emulate the style of that era.

    The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. The timing of the arrival of our food from appetizers to dessert was perfect. The placement of our plates and attention to detail was superb. My wife and I felt truly cared for and we never felt rushed to eat and depart, but only to take the time to enjoy ourselves in the moment as the piano played softly in the background. It was a truly relaxing and delicious experience.

    Smashing grapes was a smashing success! The ambience was lovely, the food was better than expected, and the service was superb. We’re not much of a wine drinker, but the offerings were top-notch and chosen with care. All in all a must try!

    This was our first time dining at The Iron Bridge Wine Company ... and it won't be our last. In addition to wonderful food (especially the steak frites, fish, and creme brulee), the service was excellent in an attractive and comfortable setting.

    Excellent food and service! We had an 8:15 reservation, and the restaurant was packed with several parties waiting at the hostess stand. We went to the bar and had a seat, ordered drinks. Excellent service there as well. Very comfortable bar, so no problem that it took longer than quoted time. We were seated and after we ordered, the manager came to apologize for the wait in seating us. He offered to comp appetizers. Honestly, I have never had a manger come to apologize, much less offer something for a late seating (especially when we weren’t complaining at all). Top service tonight-one of our favorite places!
