    First time eating at Iron Horse. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. The cocktails we had were unique and tasty, and those were quite possibly the best tacos I’ve ever had! Will definitely eat there again!

    We dined in an igloo. It was warm and cozy. The service was fast and friendly. The whole outside of the restaurant was decorated for Christmas. The ambience was so nice. I would definitely go back. I’ve already recommended this restaurant to others! It’s a wonderful Christmas pop up!

    We had a fabulous dinner. We ordered the cheese and focaccia appetizer it was delicious. We followed with the Alchemi salad which was filled with fresh vegetables and the dressing was light and perfect for that salad. We then shared an entree of lobster shrimp pad Thai. Everything including our service was great!

    It was a great experience overall! The food quality and serving sides were fantastic. The environment was great...the waitstaff was attentive and helpful. Slightly on the pricey side, but certainly not unreasonable...definitely reasonable for the value and portions. We loved it!
