My family and I celebrated Christmas Eve at Ironwood. We had a beautiful evening! Our meal was delicious. The surf and turf prawns were huge! The focaccia bread was a hit. The on the wagon mocktail was a special treat! The oysters fresh and tasty. Also, we enjoyed the halibut, salmon, and wedge salad. They accommodated gluten free. Our server was awesome. I'm sorry I didn't catch her name . It was a lovely night for us!

Great service, great food! Just wish we could have silenced the very loud 25-year old at the next table whose life story we learned while she yelled to her family throughout the dinner. These things happen but that was a bit of a damper on the evening.

Really great restaurant, we now have so many favorite dishes here! If you think you don't like vegetables, you have to come try Mayfield - it is amazing what they can do with carrots or cabbage or sweet potatoes! And their fried chicken is the best!
