First the four of us ate here. Were going to the lical Seanger show. Perfect location and food was very good. Quite a diverse menus. Only issue I have is they another establishment that asks for 20% tips. Pay your staff. I hate leaving an 8%, 10, or 12% tip but tips are a little thank you not salary.

Once again, Iron knocked it out of the park. We started with the black garlic gnocchi escargot, which was excellent as always. My wife went with the lamb. Cooked perfectly and excellent flavor. I tried something different in the country fried venison with yukon gold mashed and collards. Might just be the best southern staple turned into fine dining I've ever experienced. In short, another outstanding meal with exception service from Iron.

We loved our First Dibs experience where the selected menu is shared and paired with sips of wine for each of the three courses. Amber described each course perfectly and served the meal at a leisurely pace. We can’t wait to come back!
