For decades, craftspeople from around the world were drawn to Homewood by a common theme - the lure of fire and iron. The ability to wield a spark became their calling card and for these hard-working artisans, food played a key role in their legendary story. Ironwood Kitchen & Cocktails is a tribute to this legacy where iron and fire come together to create elevated comfort food for a new generation in Birmingham.

    The bar was perfect. Great wine selection. The menu has things that aren’t always available to us. The venison, filet, osso bucco etc, just a wonderful menu. We always love the Antinori Super Tuscan. Brandi was attentive and happily took care of our table of six. We make this trip every year. The manager Damon came by and ensured all was well. We’ll be back next year. Thank you.

    The restaurant is extremely nice and has a great ambience. The wait time and service was not unfortunately we waited awhile for our server to come to us. The cocktails we ordered were all bitter and barely had alcohol. The food was really good and presented well, however our steaks were a little cool. We ordered dessert it was awful so we asked to switch it out we could barely eat the second one so we left it! not once did the server offer to take it off or apologize for all the inconvenience! The restaurant has the potential to be great it just wasn’t giving they let a bunch of people c word and scream at the bar like this isn’t a nice restaurant where people want to relax and enjoy their meal. The place was very loud and rowdy do to them letting guests gather and party in one area!

    Second time visiting. Staff forgot to make my brothers entree … causing him to get his meal 10-15 minutes after the rest of us. Other than that, a classy place.

    Great birthday dinner with my family. All the food was exceptional. The only bad part is they only had 2 desserts choices. They were good but needed more options
