   One of our favorite places to dine. Always outstanding food and service in a comfortable and relaxing space. The seasonal specials never disappoint.

   This restaurant has really declined as far as food quality. I use to dine here all the time 5-6 yes ago and never had a bad meal. Last night, I was disappointed in the flavorless items: grilled octopus, butternut arancini and ribeye. All were mostly overcooked and lacked flavor. Only saving grace was the scallops with butternut squash and excellent service and ambiance.

   First time coming here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Hesitated at first to come here because it is a small place, but don’t judge the book by its cover — because it was an amazing experience. Foods are good from starters to main and to the dessert course - ofcourse can’t forget the wine.

   We've been eating at Iron Bridge for 20 years - not an inexpensive place but worth it. With another couple, we celebrated my wife's birthday there on a rainy Wednesday night. Giving it 4 stars, my first time rating Iron Bridge below 5 stars. All but one item of food was awesome. The butternut squash arancini was very bland, we would not get it again. The mushroom risotto was great and so it was odd that the arancini was tasteless. The burger, the panzanella salad, the scallops, the soup - all amazing. Same for the creme brulee (my wife's long time favorite) and the brandy pecan tart withe salted caramel ice cream - awesome. Two reasons for the missing star, in addition to the disappointing appetizer: (1) the restaurant was not very busy at 5:45 on a weeknight, but the service was slow and inattentive, below our usual experience. Twice managers stopped by, but we always had to hail our waiter. He wasn't that knowledgeable about the wines in the flight we ordered. (Minor quibble: I think flights used to come with printed cards with that info) (2) We were given a table that was close to the bar and near the restrooms - not really enough space for traffic between our table and the people at the bar. (Our friends got their first and got the table, I would have asked for a different one, many were open.) That also made the noise level at our table be way above comfortable I give a long review not to harp on the negatives but to both give feedback to the owners and advice to others - we will definitely be back!

   Hi John, Thanks very much for the feedback. I let the Chefs know about the arancini and that it needs some more flavor. Sincere apologies for the lackluster service, never something we want to be known for. We will chat with him and get that sorted. You were seated at table 11, I have updated your guest notes, so we will not seat you at that table in the future. Thank you for your longtime love and support, we are so very appreciative. We hope to see you again soon. Thanks!

   A wonderful place to go and enjoy an evening of great food, service and ambiance. From start to finish everything was delicious. We've been there numerous times and what's special about IBWC is that the menu changes often enough to select new and exciting dishes each time we go. The wine selection is top notch and lots to choose from. Check it out! You'll love it!!

   This is one of the top restaurants that I go to. Great sitting at the bar. Great staff that always greet you. The wine selection is great from new world options to old world options and they will do their best to ensure that they learn your palette. Had the grilled octopus and the shrimp posole. Both were very good dishes. I really like the variety of presentations for dished that they create. Always excellent.

    This was our first time dining at The Iron Bridge Wine Company ... and it won't be our last. In addition to wonderful food (especially the steak frites, fish, and creme brulee), the service was excellent in an attractive and comfortable setting.
