Ironwood

This place knocked it out of the park on every metric. The ambiance was incredible, the food was delicious, the portions were huge, and the service was amazing. Came on our anniversary and they provided complimentary champagne and dessert. The highlight was definitely the food, presented beautifully and made with high quality ingredients. Highly recommended for any celebration or date night, you will not be disappointed.

Ironwood is part of small family of restaurants across orange county, including my favorite Sapphire in nearby Laguna Beach. On this occasion, we began with a couple of delicious cocktails, hot oldiehawn and lazy days. Each was made with either vodka or tequila along with exotic citrus juices. The focaccia with honey butter was fluffy and full of flavor. For entrees, we tried the steak frites and lamb shank. While flat iron steak is not the most tender, this one was deliciously prepared medium rare and served with herb fried, superb. The Zinfandel braised lamb shank was outstanding and served so soft with intact texture. To top it off, it was served with tapenade pureed potatoes and pickled veggies. Overall a wonderful experience and high quality ingredients prepared well

We visited on our anniversary, our server Arturo was excellent and made the experience perfect. Meals were cooked properly and the drinks well made. We had an early dinner so not to crowded. Slightly pricey but worth it.

I came here last Thursday for happy hour with my girlfriend, and I’m so glad we did! Funny enough, I must have driven past this spot dozens of times without ever really noticing it. Now I’m kicking myself, what a find! We sat at the bar where the beautiful Brooklyn was bartending, and she gave us excellent service. Friendly, attentive, fast, she really had it all! My girlfriend and I went all in on the happy hour menu. Some we ordered are the Hand-Cut Truffle Fries, White Shrimp Ceviche, and the Creamy Burrata Caprese. Everything was good and paired perfectly with our drinks (we each had two). We got so caught up in conversation that we ended up staying longer than planned, but Brooklyn was super chill and never once rushed us. Loved the whole vibe. Next time, we’ll definitely be back to

We went here for a Valentine's Dinner and it did not disappoint. Good cocktails and great food. The portions are a good size for appetizers and mains so make sure you arrive hungry!
