Unique dishes that you don't find very often - the Moroccan lamb with risotto was delicious. So was the shrimp diablo, with homemade linguini. We always have a good meal here, without exception. Would recommend without reservation. Only caveat - if you want a quiet experience, stay away from high traffic hours on the weekend.

We walked by the Iron Horse Tavern on Friday night after being disappointed with our first choice. We liked what we saw and had a couple of drinks and very tasty burgers. We didn't have reservations but had no problem eating at the bar. Caitlin, our server and bartender, was outstanding. She never made us feel rushed and our food was delivered timely and exactly as ordered. We liked the Iron Horse Tavern so much we returned for brunch on Sunday and enjoyed the same high level of service from Doug and our food was just as delicious. We've already recommended the Tavern to several of our friends who spend more time in Morgantown than we do, but we hope to return as well as soon as possible.

About the restaurant

Savor the finest traditional and regional cuisine, along with our very own New Appalachian creations. Prepared by our talented culinary staff, local game, fish and produce have never tasted better. When the weather is just right, enjoy patio dining lakeside amidst relaxing views of Stonewall Jackson Lake and the rolling hills of West Virginia.

The resort is beautiful, and sitting on the patio with a view of the lake is wonderful. Our server was extremely nice. We thoroughly enjoyed it there. A couple of things to mention are, handicapped access was poor. We could not find the elevator near the restaurant. Also, we were expecting the food to be at a higher level. It was just ok. The swordfish was overcooked and dry. The crab rangoon was as well. The burger was very good, I was told. I will try something else next time.

Charleston

About the restaurant

Bricks & Barrels is a steak and seafood experience voted three consecutive years as Charleston's Favorite Restaurant in the annual People's Choice Awards. Known for its unique ambience that relaxes the mind and rejuvenates the spirit, Bricks & Barrels features four semi-private dining areas that give the sensation of dining inside a whiskey barrel. The restaurant’s interior features wooden whiskey barrels used as dining tables contrasted against the rustic brick façade. But the food & drinks are the highlight, with the Green Tomato Napoleon being a favorite appetizer. The Mediterranean Chicken was nominated for Charleston's best dish by The Food Guy, a local food critic: bone-in chicken breast braised in capers, figs and olives created a beautiful symphony of flavors (sweet, tart, salty, earthy) on a colorful, gorgeously presented plate." Charleston's Favorite Bartender Drew serves specialty cocktails, local craft beer and award-winning wines. Memories are made at Bricks & Barrels.

A true gem in the mountains! We felt welcome the moment we walked in and were greeted by the host. And it just got better from there. The ambiance was amazing with eclectic art adorning the wall and the player piano softly filling the room with familiar music. The view was spectacular, yet the food still managed to overshadow it. So good you almost want to keep it to yourself as your little secret!
