ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Food was perfect and tasted so delicious!!! Really a loss for words for how fantastic juniper grill really is!!! AN ABSOLUTE DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!!!!! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Just found my new spot for the wife and I.

Our server was great and super attentive to us. My wife and I went to celebrate Valentine’s Day 2025 at Iron Rock. The service was great and always made sure we had our drinks and if we needed anything. However other than our BBQ pulled pork nachos, our food left us unfulfilled. The nachos were amazing and we loved those. However my wife ordered the Alfredo and the cheese was overcooked and curdled making it very grainy and almost sour tasting. My steak was okay but most of it was a large portion of fat that after cutting away took my New York Strip from a decent size to about the size of a steak medallion. While our food wasn’t awful we left wishing it would’ve been a lot better. You can tell our reservation was at 9:00 pm (one of two last available options when we booked) the kitchen was most likely just burnt out. Things did come out fast but I would’ve definitely preferred waiting longer if it meant the quality would’ve been much higher. My wife and I came here twice before this trip and the first time thought it was amazing and made us want even more even though I waited over an hour and a half for my steak (which the staff compensated us heavily for and we got to meet the chef as he made an appearance just to apologize to me) we didn’t mind it was great experience. The second time the menu had changed and there wasn’t much either of us had any interest in, nonetheless we still tried to enjoy the experience there and left saying it was okay. But this last trip for our valentine dinner just left us almost sad, realizing it just didn’t work out the way we hoped and we weren’t mad at anyone just that we probably wouldn’t return. The price vs quality just isn’t there and I can’t justify paying what we do for what is unfortunately a lackluster turnout. Each time my wife and I have went it’s been over a $100 bill for all three trips before tip as well, for me personally if I’m paying that much I can’t have two of the three experiences being poor.

Mary was an amazing Valentine’s Day server, she gave us great suggestions and was pleasant throughout the whole dinner. The wait between appetizers and our entree I felt was perfect to leave enough room to enjoy everything. Drinks were good, not great, but good, I liked my partners better than mine. Didn’t think we’d finish the appetizers because they were pretty good portions for 2, but we couldn’t stop. My steak was extremely juicy and buttery, definitely one of the best I’ve had. She loved her chicken. The ambience was mostly casual with a perfect touch of formal. No need to dress in your absolute best, but everyone around seemed comfortable and dashing. We had an amazing Valentines partly thanks to Atria’s, thank you guys so much!

Great food, great service, reasonably priced. A really good place to eat when visiting the casino.

Always enjoyed our meals at Vallozi's. Everything was great, including the service.
