  • Sunday Prime Rib Roast - The Best in Town

    $49.00 per person

    Multiple dates available
    Every Sunday 5pm until we run out of this delicious beef. Coming from Elora, Ontario, Martin Family Farms produces extremely well marbled AAA beef which our Culinary team cooks to a beautiful pink medium rare. Served with a baked potato, sour cream, grilled asparagus, airy Yorkshire pudding and an 18 hour horseradish jus, this is the best meal in town on Sunday evenings. Our plan is to run out of beef every night. Our suggestion, come early, and come hungry! We will be serving two sizes of beef, 10 oz for $49 and 14 oz for $59. See you Sunday.

    Everything we got was delicious and we ate it all despite the generous portion sizes. Service was swift and attentive. Everything was hot and beautiful to look at, pleasing all our senses. Only disappointment was they were out of pork. This dish sounded delicious so will try it on our next visit.

    I took my boyfriend here for his birthday… the staff were so amazing about decorating his dessert and making sure everything was perfect! We got the fish tacos (a bit spicy), the steak frites, and the curried vegetables. The food was DELICIOUS! It is a smaller space, so the noise level was quite loud and anyone with sensory issues may be a bit overloaded. However, the live music was a nice touch for the aesthetic and ambiance the restaurant is going for. Overall, a very good spot and we will be returning!

    We've been wanting to try Ironwood Kitchen & Bar for a while - we were NOT disappointed. The food was incredible - I had the jerk chicken and it melted in my mouth and had so much flavour. I can not remember what my boyfriend had but it had to be good as he left his plate completely spotless LOL. We were there to celebrate my boyfriends birthday and our server was so sweet - she went over and beyond to make sure we were all taken care of. Great drink menu and the maple donuts on the dessert menu were yummy. Our food and service experience was 5/5! Definitely coming back for more! Only minor complaint was the live band made it hard to hear each other.

    Food was amazing, but the price per quantity is definitely off. Especially on the artisan toast we got. $19.00 for two pieces of toast with toppings. Maybe if you got four it would be worth the price.

    Beautiful restaurant, bright but still cozy. The service was fantastic, our server was great. The food was good. Technically nothing wrong with it just wasn’t blown away. I had the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise was VERY mustard forward which was not pleasant. Two had the chicken and waffles which was good however the elote corn salsa was a bit aggressive and overtook the sweet/spicy sauce on the chicken. The scallion waffle was very good! Would definitely come again and try other dishes.

    We had a lovely dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the live music on a Saturday night. All of us had excellent meals, including the beef jerky, which is quite hot, the Lake Erie, Pickerel, and the duck. The desserts were also excellent. We had the chocolate flourless torte, and the lemon tart. Service was excellent and they checked in frequently to see if we needed anything. Staff were friendly and know-legible. They did not rush us through the meal and we were able to take our time and enjoy our evening at leisure. We have been to the restaurant before and would definitely go back again. Our friends, who were with us are moving here from Toronto and they commented on how much they enjoyed the meal and look forward to becoming a repeat customer. I also like the fact that The Iron Grill has updated their menu, in terms of portion size, and expanded on some of the options, compared to when they opened last fall. Overall, it was a terrific experience! The only suggestion that I have is that the live music not be quite so loud, as at times it was difficult to chat.

    We had the pleasure of trying this hidden gem this weekend. Everything was amazing! We tried two apps, oysters, the lamb dinner & two dessert and were blown away each time. Every flavour paired perfectly together! The drinks were fantastic & the live music complimented the night perfectly. We will definitely return!

    Interesting and delicious dishes from the oysters through to dessert, all locally sourced. We had the lamb and the pickerel, both lovely. Beignets were a perfect ending, but the coffee was mediocre.(To be fair, our server warned us of that!.) Soft solo guitar and song throughout made a perfect couple’s date night dinner.

    While the service was good and the quality of the food excellent where the restaurant failed was in the portions. If customers are going to spend money on eating out they want to feel they received value for the amount paid and that pertains to both quality and quantity of the food.
