    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.

    Best restaurant in New Haven for decades. We love the kind, yet very professional staff. The elegantly decorated dining room is very comfortable. Every dish is perfect. They make THE BEST gazpacho ever. The suckling pig is delectable. The oxtail croquettes--mouthwatering. Oh and don't let me forget to say how creative and spot on the cocktails are. Thank you Juan Carlos, Maria and Manuel, once again.
