I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant! It’s a truly authentic, family-owned gem that made me feel so welcome from the moment I walked in. As someone who eats gluten-free, I’m always a little nervous about dining out, but they went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. The waiter was an absolute sweetheart—so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Every dish was incredible, and honestly, this was the best gluten-free food I’ve ever had. You’d never know anything was GF because the flavors were that amazing! If you’re looking for a place that combines warm hospitality with outstanding food, this is it. Can’t wait to come back!

The staff did such a great job taking care of us! I called ahead of time to let them know I would be proposing on Valentine's Day. They were quick to make sure we had a great table, a rose for her, complimentary Champagne and dessert. The best part was that all I asked for was help taking pictures, they went all out and were at the ready with a Polaroid camera and made my fiance feel so special. Thank you for being part of our perfect night ❤️

Very good food. Was very busy but it was also Valentine's day. Service was great.

I recently visited Ironwood Steakhouse and had an absolutely outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambience set the perfect mood with its elegant yet cozy decor. The service was impeccable; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure every need was met without being intrusive. As for the steak, it was prepared to perfection—succulent, flavorful, and cooked just as I ordered. Each bite was a delight, and it was evident that only top-quality ingredients were used. Overall, Ironwood Steakhouse delivered an unforgettable dining experience that I can't wait to enjoy again. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
