Our party was 4 adults. We eat out often and were very pleased that the service and food exceeded our expectations. Three of us tried the steaks. EXCELLENT - Great flavor & each was grilled per our request. In addition, we each tried a variety of side dishes. LOVED the grilled brussel sprouts and fingerling potatoes! If you enjoy a golfcourse view at a classy restaurant, we highly recommend IronWood. We will be back!

I hadn’t been to Sam Bs in quite a while. Decided to meet cousins from out of town there. From the moment I walked in the door, Anne Marie was there! So very helpful with our gluten free needs and suggestions, attentive but just the right amount. The food was excellent! I would definitely go back and definitely recommend it!

Brian and his staff were absolutely fantastic! We hosted out of town guests and they couldn’t say enough great things from the ambiance to the food and service. And we were so grateful for the “extra” special touches the staff gave us to celebrate our anniversary ❤️.
