    The Menu at Cast Iron Chop House is vast and truly had something to offer everyone. We did not even get past the 20 or so appetizer options. We chose 4 and made them our meal. Each portion was very generous. The flavor profile and preparation of each dish was so well crafted. Our server Raoul was exceptional, a constant presence but not closing or intrusive. I will return for sure as we didn't tackle soups, salads, the majority of appetizers or any entree.

    We were very excited to go to Cast Iron Chef for the first time, esp. to celebrate my husband's 5oth birthday. It all started out well, yet... as the waiter's section go busy, our service suffered. Dinners didn't all come out at the same time, then he gave my husband the wrong dessert, and forgot part of my order, and then it took forever to get our bill. The food was fine, but not GREAT, with regard to all the hype, and certainly not worth the HUGE bill. I would not return. Also... the bathrooms were terribly dirty and cold, and the seating area needed to be heated. I saw one of the staff trying to work what seems to have been the thermostat, but it was ice cold in our area. I was very disappointed with the overall experience, since it was a special day for my husband. I would not recommend this place to anyone, sadly.

    The petite filet, garlic mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach was excellent - as usual!!! The service (by Lexi) was also terrific - not too overbearing and just right. Lexi was terrific!!! Thank you, Iron Chef Chop House for making our Christmas holidays even merrier!!!

    We were in the bar area but not sitting near the bar and the gnats were appalling. It was almost hard to enjoy the delicious food and scenery. I'm not sure why there were so many bugs but they should definitely handle that. The food is always exceptional as is the service.
