Had a reservation and was seated quickly. Server very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Drinks ( had the Higgins 75 and hubby had the Buck) was really tasty. Food was very delicious . Boudin balls yummy. Had the oyster spaghetti and hubby had the tuna ( which ate like a steak he says). We were able to have a conversation . It was , overall, a great experience for us.

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.
