    Iron Gate is a gem that truly impressed. From the moment we stepped in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for a memorable dining experience. The attentive staff was knowledgeable and provided impeccable service, making us feel truly cared for. The food was the star of the show. The Zucchini Blossom was particularly outstanding, a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The Filet Mignon was another highlight, leaving us wanting more. If you’re seeking a dining experience that combines delicious food, excellent service, and a delightful atmosphere, this is the place to be.

    We are new to the area and we found this restaurant on OpenTable. It was my husband's birthday and I wanted a place that was quiet, great food & wine and service. The Iron Gate far exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back. Our waiter, Stamos, was fantastic! His recommendations were spot on. We had escargot to start. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. We then had their signature salad which was prepared table side. I don't think I've ever had a better salad. For our main course, we had the Iron Gate version of lamb (there was also a New Zealand rack option) and the veal parmigiana. Both dishes were perfectly cooked and just phenomenal. For dessert, we had the grand mariner souffle and it was incredible. One of the best things about the restaurant was watching all of the flambe dishes. The servers were just so precise and you could tell they are passionate about giving each diner an experience.

    One of the best restaurants on the Peninsula. We’ve been going to Iron Gate for over 25 years, and each time we receive attentive service and enjoy the food so much that we’re reminded why it’s a favorite. The menu offers a perfect balance of classic dishes each prepared with care and beautifully presented. The ambiance is warm and inviting, whether you’re there for a romantic evening or a special celebration. The staff consistently go above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensure an exceptional dining experience. Iron Gate has truly stood the test of time, maintaining its high standards while continuing to surprise and delight. We can’t recommend it enough!

    This restaurant is consistently great. WE had a wonderful meal. It does seem they have added additional tables and seems a bit more crowded than before and noisier. But it didn't take away from the great food and service.
