    My family and I celebrated Christmas Eve at Ironwood. We had a beautiful evening! Our meal was delicious. The surf and turf prawns were huge! The focaccia bread was a hit. The on the wagon mocktail was a special treat! The oysters fresh and tasty. Also, we enjoyed the halibut, salmon, and wedge salad. They accommodated gluten free. Our server was awesome. I'm sorry I didn't catch her name . It was a lovely night for us!

    We have been going to King's Fish House for years and it is consistently good. The artichoke appetizer and the butter cake are outstanding. The fish is always fresh. My favorite dish is the macadamia crusted halibut, so good. Our server on Christmas Eve was Sean. She was excellent in every way and made our whole experience enjoyable. We will continue to come back to this restaurant.

    Food was great - service everyone seemed to be to busy to acknowledge us or have time to bring us water or take our order. 15-17 mins after being seated and trying to flag someone done did our order get taken. The food did come in a reasonable time and it was hot. So that was good! The place was not busy so I can’t use that as an excuse for the delay or lack of attention
