Once again we enjoyed the First Dibs offering. It was my third First Dibs. This was December so it was gumbo, slow-seared pork chop and an apple-apricot dessert paired with sips of 3 complimentary wines. It is fun to try different menu items. I have not been disappointed yet!

Dinner at the Iron is always special. The quality of food, drinks and presentation is unmatched in Pensacola. Service should be what others aspire to. Danielle P is great as are most all their staff.

Love the vibe of Iron. Every staff member was very nice, service was excellent. Both our appetizers (gnocchi w/ escargot, and the Chicken Wings) were delicious. Very good wine at reasonable price point. The entrees had a couple issues. The chicken fried venison was pretty blue rare. Venison is a difficult meat to prepare I know, but this was simply too rare (and I'm fine with rare to med. rare meat) Everything that came with this dish was delicious. I got the reverse sear pork chop. Delicious, well cooked, and nice accompaniments. My issue with the chop was the fat cap was very close to half of the chop. I am not one to cut away the fat on a good steak, but many of the bites were nothing but fat. We will absolutely return to Iron, and I'm sure we will find other dishes to enjoy.

A friend and I shared their "First Dips" December menu, and it was perfect for us. John was our server, and he was excellent. Delish and for $100 for two with wine pairings, a pleasant surprise considering other options. I like to dine early so this works for us.
