About this restaurant

Romantic
Great for outdoor dining
Innovative

A native of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Chef Chittum has earned a reputation not only for his cooking, but also for his commitment to sourcing from an ever-expanding network of local farmers, watermen, and food artisans. Chittum and his team are revitalizing the Iron Gate with a menu that takes inspiration from the cuisines of Greece, Sicily, Sardinia, and Southern Italy, interpreting those traditions and techniques through the use of the finest products of the Mid-Atlantic foodshed. The original carriageway houses the bar and a year-round dining space, while the courtyard, overhung with grapevines and a century-old wisteria, features a protective awning allowing for (nearly) all-weather outdoor dining.

In our carriageway and garden, guests are invited to order from our a la carte menu featuring Chef Chittum's housemade, fresh pastas, wood-roasted meats and seafood, and more. Our patio is open year-round, weather-permitting.

Iron Gate is great for a cocktail or bite to eat. I've been multiple times and would recommend it to anyone visiting the city, new comers and dc veterans. It's a gem

Terrific beer selection and unique cocktails. Nice, homey fireplace perfect for a winter date night. Interesting preparations and delicious dishes that just got better in succession. Great for sharing and trying multiple dishes. The homemade pastas were must-haves as well as the farro salad and the octopus prepared two ways.

We were seated outside, in the patio when it was 37 degrees. It was windy and uncomfortable. The heaters were not positioned in a way that adequately warmed our table. And there were tables available inside.

I thought the food here was delicious and a lot less pricey than I had expected. Our waiter let us know they changed the menu to give more flexibility to guests, so it's no longer just a tasting menu, and now there are a la carte options. Everything we ordered was very tasty and fresh, particularly the bread (delicious homemade sourdough). I will say that we surprised when we were seated outside, which is where the majority of tables were, in the middle of winter. Though there were heaters and we were given blankets, we were both freezing cold as we ate our meal. I would recommend this restaurant for sure, but I would strongly recommend going when the weather is warmer.

A romantic place for dining. It was a little cold outside today but I am sure I will come again when the weather gets warmer. Also the "Crisp Greek Yeast Doughnuts" were really delicious!!

We dined at Iron Gate January 28th. It was a little chilly so they let us sit inside, although the outside area was pretty full, so it must have been ok. The food was very nice-- small plates that were well prepared. The oysters were delicious; so was the farro, the beets, the pasta, and the foccacia was wonderful! Be sure to order it. Cocktails and wine were good, too. It was our anniversary and they gave us some champagne; the service was flawless.

The ambience is amazing at this restaurant! Staff was wonderfully attentive and friendly and even offered us a blanket and seat next to the fireplace outside to keep warm. Extensive cocktail and wine list -- so great if you plan on celebrating a special event! The waiter didn't explain the menu at first, since we had never dined with Iron Gate before, but after asking some questions, we quickly understood how it worked. Truly excellent menu with a wide variety of Mediterranean dishes. Dishes were well sized, recommended to have 2-3 dishes per adult.
