Overall great experience at IRON as it always is.
Menus
One of our favorite date night spots! The food and service is always amazing!
Impeccable services, great ambiance and a wide selection of wines and cocktails. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Restaurant Iron will be a "Special occasion" choice for most, given the high cost of entrées, which ranged from about $35-90, in a surprisingly limited selection, with no daily special. We started with an heirloom tomato salad and pork belly mac-n-cheese, folllwed by a catch of day with lyonnaise potatoes and a salmon dish served with cauliflower puree and peas. Food presentation was nice. The pork belly mac was under seasoned, the salad was good. The salmon was slightly underdone and the puree was over salted. No real complaints about the catch of the day (Redfish), but both dishes were reminiscent of something you could get anywhere. After two glasses of wine and a scotch, the bill totaled $170. For those special occasion diners, I think many will leave disappointed at food quality to cost. To add to our experience, the couple seated next to us (too close) had issues when a $90 ribeye came out raw and had to be re-cooked, only to come out undercooked a second time. If you are looking for a place to eat in downtown Pensacola, it's tough to recommend Restaurant Iron, which averaged a weak 7 out of 10.
There were no tables inside so we had to dine outside with a reservation. The street noise was really loud on a Friday night. The food was okay but the service was terrible. It took us over an hour to receive our food. Our waitress was sweet and apologized but the wait was not worth it.
Husbands 50th birthday Everything was great Wonderful food!!!! And wine and service Atmosphere was a little lacking. No wow factor with the appearance of the restaurant
Though we've been several times our last visit was an unmitigated disaster. The mgr recognized it and did her best to make it right 5 stars there). Not sure what happened (s l o w service, food took >an hour to get to table, apathetic waitress), most unusual. Kudo's to the manager and yes, we enjoy this place enough to try again.
Restaurant is great.food as good as the best in New Orleans where I am from. The entrees as good as the small plates. (Sometimes places put all energy into appetizers â not here) We sat outside and that meant the sidewalk on a hot night this was ok but I assumed we were getting to be in a courtyard or similar space. Interior of restaurant was beautiful tho noisy. This is a place that does everything right the waiters were great too
Great food Nice cocktails Wine list can improve and was a bit overpriced
IRON never fails to impress us when we get to go, we will definitely be coming back! Great ambience, food, drinks and service!
We enjoyed our evening at Restaurant Iron a lot! The only issue was the slowness of service of my husbandâs after dinner drink and dessert. I think additional help at the bar may be needed. The restaurant comped the drink, which we appreciated.
