    The staff is warm and welcoming, the ambience is upscale but not fussy, and the food is fantastic. I recommend the escargot, the Caesar salad for two made table side, and the New York strip. An old school fine dining restaurant with a fun vibe (maybe it's all the table side flambes!) Pretty pricey but worth it.

    Love the Iron Gate. This is one of the most unique restaurants in the Bay Area. Exudes a terrific menus and high quality delicious foods perfectly prepared, they do flambés. This is where they light the food on fire at table-side. It’s impressive! They really have great foods like the escargot, spinach and bacon salad, and zucchini stuffed with crab. The petrale sole almandine is my go to entree. But their veal piccata is terrific, too. And the soufflé dessert with the fruit is also exceptional, delicious, and unique. If you want a great fine dining meal with the “old school” flare, then the Iron Gate is for you.

    Dinner was absolutely delicious! It’s more than dinner. It’s an experience guided by the professional and attentive wait staff. Joe was our waiter and he was exceptional! Perfect place for a special occasion or just a great meal. I look forward to returning soon. Well done, Iron Gate. 🩷

    Fabulous everything! The crab-stuffed zucchini blossoms were amazing, the steak Diane was spectacular and cooked perfectly, and the service was over the top. Everything was perfect and we had a great time! Thank you so much, Kave & Ruben!

    As usual, there were no surprises because the food and service has always been and continues to be perfect and impeccable. This is the go to restaurant that all others strive to emulate.

    Been going here for 30+ years and this was always our go to spot (going to look for another place). The service was half the experience but now its more like take your order and serve you (lot of staff changes over last couple of years), the Maitre D tried to visit but just was not what it always has been. I had the Medallions of beef and the sauce was horrible, I am taking it home and washing off the sauce and making steak tacos. My wife had the Steak Diane which is made tableside which was ok (problem a new guy who is cooking it). Bill over $300 (which we know the cost) but not close to the value anymore. Sad thing is that we now have to find a new go to restaurant.
