    This is the second time we come to Iron Gate. The food is excellent, the steak was cooked to the exact way I wanted for medium. We had both the steak Diane and pepper steak cooked at the table. It was quite entertaining, and the owner who was cooking for us was very friendly. I would highly recommend this place, and would definitely come back again.

    Always love the Iron Gate. They are old school, just like us! They warm the bread, make artistic "mounds" out of their butter, make the Caesar salad table-side. Our entrees of shellfish (shrimp & scallops over rice & fresh veggies) & filet of sole (with potatoes anna & fresh veggies) were wonderful. Tasty, beautifully presented. We were celebrating an anniversary and were treated to a lovely ice cream/strawberry dessert. We met at the Iron Gate 43 years ago, so it is special for us! Miguel was a great waiter.

    The Iron Gate is a French restaurant that you do not want to miss. The food is outstanding and the service impeccable. Some of our favorites are Steak Diane and La Laison Iron Gate. The soufflés are the best in the world! Everything we have ever tasted is incredible. You will not be disappointed! It is a hidden gem in the Peninsula.

    Food is very good and priced reasonably but it’s fair that it is not a Michelin star resturant. It’s terrific that they cook butterfly steak and mix salad right off the table. Had a great experience in celebrating Mother’s Day there with my wife.
