We opted for the rooftop igloo for our party of 3. The spread was fantastic and huge portions. The 3 wine options were all great and the views were just perfect. The addition of the space heater to supplement the pillows and blankets was clutch and the Bluetooth speaker was a fun touch!

We had a GORGEOUS dinner with my in-laws the night before Thanksgiving. We've heard great things about Iron Gate, but truly everything from the service, to the items we ordered (and multiple little extras the chef sent out) were extraordinary. The chocolate dessert, we all agreed, was one of the best of our lives. Truly a hospitality-driven experience and we can't wait for an excuse to head back.

We enjoyed our dinner - the chicken skewers were delicious. Our server was very kind and attentive. We were disappointed with the saganaki since we were going there for the cheese. It was just a plop of cheese and it wasn't browned or anything. They should probably take it off the menu if it's just going to be a slab of cheese.

The cod and market fish special were excellent. We started with the two different salads. We ended with the donuts, which were a bit much and not super special. We would have preferred a different dessert. We were celebrating an anniversary, and they did make it special with a bit of sparkling wine and a sparkler on the table, as well as a card. We saw a number of special celebrations for birthdays and such nearby. It is a nice place for a special night.
