My husband and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch today. We got there around noon and was warmly greeted by staff and brought to our table. We ordered drinks and both had the turkey dinner. Every part of it was delicious and the portion was enough for another meal tomorrow. Our waiter Jared was attentive and friendly as was everyone helping with serving and clearing our table. Glad we made a reservation at Cast Iron Chef for Thanksgiving.

Don’t miss the tuna toast or steak tartare. Chowder best I’ve ever had! Steak frites on point. Great food. Great drinks. Casual but nice enough for a date night with class.
