Always love the Iron Gate. They are old school, just like us! They warm the bread, make artistic "mounds" out of their butter, make the Caesar salad table-side. Our entrees of shellfish (shrimp & scallops over rice & fresh veggies) & filet of sole (with potatoes anna & fresh veggies) were wonderful. Tasty, beautifully presented. We were celebrating an anniversary and were treated to a lovely ice cream/strawberry dessert. We met at the Iron Gate 43 years ago, so it is special for us! Miguel was a great waiter.

The Iron Gate is a French restaurant that you do not want to miss. The food is outstanding and the service impeccable. Some of our favorites are Steak Diane and La Laison Iron Gate. The soufflés are the best in the world! Everything we have ever tasted is incredible. You will not be disappointed! It is a hidden gem in the Peninsula.
