Went with 4 friends - group of 5 and it was amazing. Really loved all Rebekah’s help when ordering- so knowledgeable. Food was great! Definitely coming back again. I had the lamb shank. Large portion- enough for lunch tomorrow. Butter salad was great and oatmeal crumble cookie with ice cream was the perfect dessert. Will definitely come again and ask for Rebekah

Food was outstanding, and our waitress, Brook, was excellent, but so was the rest of the staff, from the hostess, to the bus boy, and everyone else who was part of the TEAM. Highly recommend.

Had a fun date night with my husband. We always enjoy ironwood. The cocktails are delicious (hot okdiehawn is my favorite). And the service is great. My husband enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich and I had a simple butter lettuce salad with blackened salmon. Both dishes were delicious. This time we sat at a high top by the bar. We enjoyed the vibe.
