    I personally believe The Iron Gate restaurant in Belmont is one of the best in the Bay Area. Their service and food is five star! Their appetizers, Caesar salad, Steak Diane and soufflés are world class - I’m not trying to embellish. I’ve eaten in several European and New York restaurants and The Iron Gate is better. Really.

    This is an excellent restaurant in all aspects. The way the owners redesigned the indoor part from how it was for the previous restaurants there is so much more light and attractive. The service was flawless, from the friendly professional staff to the little things like having our water glasses refilled before they were ever empty. Every part of our meals was delicious and well presented, from the green humus and pita bread appetizer to my branzino fish (one of the best I've ever had) and my wife's Moroccan spiced chicken to the baclava-and-honey-comb-ice-cream dessert. There is a great Albino wine by the glass. This is a little more expensive than some other local restaurants but the prices are well worth it.

    Pra was our server. She is attentive. We started with the Caprese, vitello Marsala and tiramisù & coffee. Everything was delicious. I continue to bring everyone (friends & family) I can, here😉 We have held family dinners and @ least (3) large birthday celebrations in your private room with Catalino & Pra. P.S. I miss my “birthday” tiramisu from Catalino complete with pink candle! My bestie & I were unable to get together on the exact date, a li’l late this year.
