We brought our interns to Iron Gate to celebrate their last day and our waitress Kayla could not have been lovelier. The room, with a fire going, was cozy on a cold day. The food was delicious -- Kayla gave great and knowledgeable recommendations -- and the special touch to congratulate our interns -- pretty little cake pops -- was really above and beyond.

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.
