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.
