Date night at Cast Iron Tavern was great. We had the fried mozzarella appetizer, a couple beers, a Western burger (veggie patty, nix the mayo), and a Reuben. The food was delicious. The service was very attentive. And the atmosphere was relaxed.

The portion size of the roasted squash and apple salad is small! There were only 3 crumbles of goat cheese and it was rather lacking in flavor. Most guests were ordering hamburgers and/or candied bacon so I guess that is the reason for the overall good yelp reviews. I actually left hungry and that never happens. Service was great and it is a very comfortable restaurant with a good vibe.

Food was very good but the fish was a bit overcooked. I’d think the burgers were great as they looked very appetizing as they passed by the table (think big with lots of bacon). Lots of noise, but not horrible. Many families with kids, so must be a great place.

In town for a wedding and wanted to check out local restaurants. Had reservations and were seated as soon as we got there. Server was pleasant and efficient. I had the grilled chicken and pear sandwich which was delicious. Wife had the bacon and bleu cheese salad. She said it was good and I’ll take her word for it since I hate bleu cheese. Other couple had the chicken Mac and cheese and the burger with the candied bacon. Two more winners. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.
