Iron Gate is a special place. It never fails to deliver a memorable experience. It’s a bit of a time warp…the menu is traditional but the food is always excellent. It’s the service that sets IG apart- it’s impeccable, friendly, entertaining, and what you wish other restaurants offered! We celebrated a birthday and they nailed it! Joe (waiter) was fantastic! As were Tanner and the entire team!
