    The food was great! Best chili rellano I had in years. Delicious chicken enchiladas and perfect hard tacos. Rice was right on along with refried beans. The Cadillac Margaritas were delish too!

    Had a fun date night with my husband. We always enjoy ironwood. The cocktails are delicious (hot okdiehawn is my favorite). And the service is great. My husband enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich and I had a simple butter lettuce salad with blackened salmon. Both dishes were delicious. This time we sat at a high top by the bar. We enjoyed the vibe.

    Wonderful Valentine evening dinner. My concern is that I had an 8:30 pm reservation. I ordered the New York Steak Medium Rare. It was served medium well. I am a brittle diabetic and if I sent the steak back to the kitchen, it could have been at least a 15 minute delay before I could eat. I did not want my blood sugar levels to drop to a dangerous low. The rest of my party would have completed their dinner, since the food portions were quite small. Other than this concern, I recommend this establishment and will dine here again.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants so it was my first choice for my birthday dinner. The new owner is great and nothing has changed on the menu (so far- hope nothing does!). The one thing that has changed is the music and it is much more appropriate for this restaurant in my honest opinion. I can’t recommend this place enough- the mango martinis, tuna tartare, skirt steak, chipotle chicken sandwich, scallop risotto, Maui onion soup to say a few.
