Discovered Iron Gate through social media. It was described as a cozy date night and that’s exactly what it was! It was comfy, cozy and cute. The service was incredible and consistent as we interacted with many. For just the 2 of us, we did the family style and the food was delicious! Would recommend and would come back!

It was amazing. We were celebrating our 1 year anniversary. We had our first date on that date in that restaurant one year ago. Coincidentally enough, football was also on that night. Going back to where it all began was special. The staff and service were great. The special touches were incredibly kind and thoughtful. Thank you for making a Monday night magical.
