    The escargot was our absolute favorite! The frenched wings are just perfect , but then the foie gras.. it’s an intense dining experience but in the best of ways so much flavor and everything is plated beautifully. To top it all off, the drinks were incredible – especially the Golden Boy definitely a must try. Highly recommend Iron for an elevated and delicious experience.

    The food was fantastic. The service was top notch. Our waitress was absolutely fantastic as well. We showed up 45 minutes early hoping to have a drink while we waited. But they were able to set us so we could start our experience. We would definitely recommend and go back next time we are in town.

    The food is great but I don’t think the restaurant inside have a good ambience they need to re think the tables to make the experience more cozy you feel like in a breakfast restaurant inside basically sharing the table with the person next to you so close . For a date you will like more privacy !

    My husband and I grew up in Pensacola and drive down from Atlanta every couple of years. In recent years, one of the things we most look forward to is dining at Iron. The bar is our first stop and it’s nice to see the same barkeep each time, who creates wonderful balanced cocktails, such as the King Cake Whisky Sour I enjoyed this trip. My husband kept it classic with a Sazerac. The food was equally delicious. We started with a gnocchi and escargot dish and I had a creative spicy salmon. My husband enjoyed duck with Foie Gras. Iron is a great restaurant.

    We tried this restaurant for our son’s birthday. All three of us were unimaginative and ordered the filet mignon. We all agreed that this was the best steak we’ve had in a long time. You could pick two sides with the meat. We all got a Caesar salad. The guys got garlic mashed and I ordered the broccolini. The whole meal was outstanding. Our server was attentive and explained the menu. They comped a birthday dessert. We will definitely be back to try a variety on the menu next time. Glad they change the menu every couple of months. Makes you want to come back to see what new things they’ve come up with.
