    The pork chop three ways with macaroni and cheese and creamed corn was so good. Highly recommend as every meal we have been an eaten has been delicious. Christy, our server was awesome as well. Highly recommend casual dinner or a fancy dinner.

    Better names for this establishment might be 'Moat' or 'Salt'. Visited with my parents earlier this week. I had the snapper, my mom had the chicken, and my dad had the scallops. Each was a protein floating in something, and not evident in the menu description. Most disappointing was that the "chicken and dumplings" was 'deconstructed,' but we didn't discover that until the meal arrived. None of this would have mattered if maybe hearty amounts of bread was offered to sop all the juice/sauce/soup/liquid up, but we had to ask for some special and what we received was maybe one serving of bread sliced into tiniest portions. Also, hello salty! (I guess to keep the drinks coming.) All in all, it was not a bad experience and the server was amazing - so good - but we won't be back.

    We ordered a mixture of appetizers. They were all pretty good although the brussels sprouts were the best with the frenched chicken wings and truffle fries a close second and third. The goats milk rice grits were OK (not spectacular). The waiter was very attentive to my friend, not so much to me. The wine list was nice. I'd go again especially when sitting at a table rather than at the chef's bar.

    Delicious. We enjoyed the pork belly appetizer and would order again. For the main course we had the sea scallops and red fish. Everything was delicious!

    Ares was our server, and he was AMAZING! The food was unique and tasted wonderful, and the adult beverages were perfectly crafted. The music was exactly the right volume and selection. What a great experience.

    Look I love Iron. I come EVERYTIME I am in town for work but damned if the truffle fries, which usually rock my world, didn’t fall flat a third time in a row. They’ve been lukewarm and seriously lacking flavor (truffle and salt) the last three times. Cmon yall. It’s like a signature app in my mind.

    They keep the tried and proven and mix up the new seasonal dishes. We have been dining there for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. Complimentary dessert for our 32nd anniversary, much appreciated.

    Perfect farm to table seasonal menu. A selective menu featuring consistent mainstays of the chef and seasonal choices. Food and drinks are amazing. Superior flavors, excellent wine and cocktail choices and on point chefs. I have always been impressed and satisfied by the food offered at Iron. Out of town guests have praised the staff at Iron.
