Once again, Iron knocked it out of the park. We started with the black garlic gnocchi escargot, which was excellent as always. My wife went with the lamb. Cooked perfectly and excellent flavor. I tried something different in the country fried venison with yukon gold mashed and collards. Might just be the best southern staple turned into fine dining I've ever experienced. In short, another outstanding meal with exception service from Iron.

Danielle our server was personable and helpful - she called the gopher cart driver for us from her own phone, as our phone wasn’t connecting. She then called to make sure we were collected and safe. Food is lovely - and a lovely experience.
