Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Wheaton

Wonderful cuisine - not the old Tabard Inn restaurant! Always innovative cuisine and beautifully served. Highly professional servers. A pleasure to be in the setting too, especially the covered patio.

We have been coming here for over 40 years and that should say it all.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience. From the friendliness of the staff to the ambience to the food. Made our anniversary meal a great experience. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks to the Iron Gate for a memorable event.

The experience was EPIC! The quality of the meal, attentiveness of service, artful presentation, the graciousness of Luke - the Restaurant Director - makes CUT the only place we want to go to for celebrations. My partner and I travel the world dining at some of the best restaurants and we consistently find CUT to be the best steak and elevated service. Last night's meal was so phenomenal that I am intimidated to prepare dinner for my partner tonight. Thank you CUT!

Friends wanted to get together and left the venue to me. I suggested MATCHBOX as it was easy to get to and plenty of FREE parking available. I hadn't been to MATCHBOX in years and it was a venue other friends and I would meet up at pre-pandemic. We met up MON afternoon and the place was relatively quiet. I had been to the restaurant after work/happy hour and it would be packed to the gills! It was a pleasant venue for a light lunch and my friends had never been to the restaurant. A surprise for my friends who were experiencing MATCHBOX for the first time was being given a complimentary cheesy bread -- sort of like a thin white pizza with just enough garlic and side of red sauce for dipping. Our waiter was quick to take our order and food did not take long to be served. Honestly, I was very tired after having worked a morning shift (up at 3am to report to work at 5am) so having their Cream of Crab Soup and Simple Salad was enough for me since I planned to go home and "crash" for the rest of the day. My friends enjoyed their meals but what was nice was afterwards, we hung out in the restaurant continuing with our conversation catching up with each other. The staff never tried to "hurry us out" and the whole atmosphere of a quiet restaurant was conducive to our being able to converse without having to rush out of the restaurant. My friends were amazed at how big the place was (their first time being at the restaurant) and were glad of the choice of venue for meeting up. Also, when it came time to pony up on the bill, my friends said it was their treat as a belated birthday gift. Gotta love friends! Thank you MATCHBOX for providing a welcoming venue for 3 friends with an unhurried atmosphere to be able to hangout".
