   Had a fun date night with my husband. We always enjoy ironwood. The cocktails are delicious (hot okdiehawn is my favorite). And the service is great. My husband enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich and I had a simple butter lettuce salad with blackened salmon. Both dishes were delicious. This time we sat at a high top by the bar. We enjoyed the vibe.

   The restaurant was overcrowded. The fire department needs to go see how many people are crowded into such a small space. The food was so bland it all tasted the same….like cardboard. The fries my husband had were not cooked. We will never return.

   Always have a nice experience at Ironwood. Love Brooklynn, our server, who always has a delightful personality. We look forward to coming in and seeing her. She suggests delicious food and Cocktails. Always a win-win. She made the evening nice for my family. Such a nice evening. Such a hidden gem in our backyard, love this place.

   Disappointing experience. Good: Waitress was very nice Ambience was good. Desert was excellent - Ice cream Bad: Restaurant allowed a large German Sheppard in the restaurant which was sitting right next to our table. Ordered the fried tomato which had no flavor and the tomato was not ripe and as hard as a rock. Split the Special "Surf and Turf" Which was recommended. The steak was a total of maybe 5 ounces and the lobster was perhaps the same. I know we split the meal, but the couple next to us ordered their own Surf and Turf as well and each one of their meals was more than twice what we split together. The meal took way to long (waitress apologized.). Was charged a $3 splitting order fee. We ordered 4 glasses of wine and spent $250 and you are charging us a $3 Fee? If the restaurant is going to "nickle and dime" us to our face, it make you wonder what they are doing in the kitchen..... Oh yeah, unripe/no flavored Fried Apple appetizer and giving us considerably smaller portions of steak and lobster. Trust me, I already accounted for the fact we split the meal...... Very poor value...... Won't be going back

   We enjoyed our dinner at Ironwood. We’ve eaten at some of the other restaurants in this group and they have been consistently good. Last night was not exception. The food was very good, especially my sea bass. I almost always have their fish dishes because they are so yummy. I think the thing that stood out was our server Brooklyn, she was just the right amount of attentive. She didn’t constantly ask if we were ready to order, which we really don’t like, and that’s something on a busy Valentine’s Day! Plus, she was just lovely. Everyone was very nice in fact. We sat out on the back patio, which turned out to be perfect as it was quieter but still warm. Fun night!

   Always good. And this was Valentine's Day which is not an easy day for a restaurant. Had the turf and surf special which was a treat.

   Service was excellent. The food was good. The four-star rating is because the vegetables were room temperature. The restaurant was so busy this could be the reason. We would definitely go back.

    Our fourth time at Ironwood. The service and food and setting were excellent as always. Specifically the Bone in Ribeye(medium rare) and the Salmon (rare) were perfectly cooked and the salmon and the Pinot Noir paired nicely.
