The staff were amazing. After leaving a note on my reservation letting them know that it was our anniversary and they brought us complimentary sparking rose and congratulated us. The portion sizes for our meal were huge. They wrapped up our night by serving us a surprise ice cream they tasted like apple strudel. I think we’ve found one of our favorite local spots.

Wonderful food and service last night at Ironwood. Thank you Brooklyn for your excellent service and friendliness. I love the Burrata Alla Panna and the Brussel sprouts. My halibut was perfectly prepared and arrived hot.

We made a reservation specifically for inside but all they had available was the patio which was kind of annoying since it was 45 degrees last night. But they had a heater close so it wasn’t terrible. But why have reservations that allow you to specify inside or patio if they aren’t going to “reserve” your table? Anyways, the service and food were good. Food came pretty quick so we were able to get in and out before we got too cold.
