We've been here twice before with no complaints and given 5 stars. Not so last night 3/8/24. I go there for the short rib. It's my favourite thing to eat and theirs is wonderful. I'm not much of a meat eater, but I can't pass up a good short rib.I was very disappointed when our waiter Carlos told me that they didn't have it because the chef won't cook it and it takes 3 days.??? So I choose the king crab legs and potato. Carlos said they didn't have that either. I questioned why they're even on the menu and he said "We're getting new menus next week". I decided to try the veal piccata. Well it arrived looking a bit gelatinous but on a bed of lovely looking angel hair pasta. My first bite was unbelievably salty. Making sure it wasn't just me, my 3 companions tried it and agreed that the dish was inedible. Carlos did take it off the bill and since my companions were almost finished their meal I asked to see the desert menu instead of ordering something else. After a little while, Carlos brings me a fruit cheesecake and says "It's on the house". I've never liked cheesecake and he could have brought almost anything else and I'd have loved it.If he had told me of the menu changes when we sat down, I'd have gone somewhere else.My friend was served a wine she didn't order and the requested horseradish never arrived. My companions said that the steak and lobster was very good, as was the Coq au vin. Next time I'll ask specific questions before we go again.UPDATE: I was contacted by the restaurant manager who felt terrible and wanted to make things right. She offered to host us for dinner next week. She assured me she would have a short rib for me. Very good and timely response from the restaurant. Bravo. 3/20 Dinner was terrific! Five stars.Vegetarian options: No vegetarian options apart from the appetizer and salad courses.

Best steak house we have been too. Great service great prices Sidewinder needs to step. Iron wood rocks!
Literally the rudest people I have ever met. I showed up for an 8pm reservation that I made today. I waited for 2 hours just to be told they don’t have me down even though I spelled out my last name and everything for them when I called. I was told 8 or 8:30 was available and choose 8. Not only did they not have my reservation the ladies at the front laughed about this as they could tell I was upset. We won’t be back and we were regularly coming before this. Just poor customer service behavior and clearly don’t actually make your reservation when you call.

We almost missed out on the amazing food here. Sadly I’ve driven past this place for a year and a half, not stopping because I read the Google rating and reviews, giving it below 4 stars. Once again, my lack of faith in humanity is reinforced. How could anyone leave this establishment anything less than 5 stars is beyond me. There were comments in the reviews about it “being too expensive for the area”. I felt like this was the least expensive premium meal I’ve had in ages. All I can figure is that it’s the cheap, Canadian, med-tourists who come to get their dental work done because they cannot afford to have it done anywhere else leaving bad reviews. So Canadians, please don’t leave reviews for American restaurants. If you want to leave a review comparing Dunkin’ Donuts to Tim Horton, that’s acceptable. If you do insist, please put a capital “C” in the beginning, or at the minimum put “eh” at the end of every sentence so we can discount it from the rest of the reviews. Canadians don’t even eat good food. Their national dish is poutine; French fries covered in brown gravy. In all seriousness, my steak was incredible, and the best iceberg wedge I’ve ever had.

Don't waist your time.. Some of the food for the Christmas buffet was good. The lobster was rubbery and gross. The Shrimp was delicious. I was here on Christmas day. I asked three times for them to play some Christmas music or any kind of background music. Only to be ignored. The place felt like a tomb with the tinging of silverware. The wait staff was nice but the service was poor. I felt like I was given attudue the whole time I had to ask for service at the table. Just a let down for a Christmas dining experience on Christmas and for my moms 80th birthday.After learning the restaurant I went and spoke with the manager of the casino. Just like the rest of the experience in this establishment I got a straight face look. It's the first time I've felt a strong feeling of prejudice.Hard PASS!

Cost to much for area and location. Ido eat at the bar and grill and it is great. Most people in this border town will not pay $75 for 2 people easy.

We have eaten here several times before. Always had the filet. Yesterday I went for the veal piccata. Big mistake. The veal was over cooked and breaded which isn't necessary. Very disappointing. The sauce was good. Partner had the king cut prime rib which was huge. He loved it! Our appetizer was the bacon wrapped shrimp. Normally very good. This time a little too long in the fryer. In the future I will stick to steaks. Nice to see Meiomi on the wine list. I think the clientele could support upping the wine offerings. The staff, service and ambiance were outstanding per usual.
The food was amazing. The queens cut prime rib must have been at least a pound. Everything was cooked perfectly. The stuffed mushrooms were over flowing with crab. Our waitress Natalie was very attentive. No kids in sight, very comfortable and relaxing.

My wife and I recently dined at the IronWood Steakhouse and had an amazing experience. The staff were very accommodating and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. To begin we ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms which I would highly recommend. We both ordered the Surf and Turf plate, thanks to Iggy for the complimentary dinner, which was absolutely excellent. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender, and full of flavor. The lobster was delicious, complementing the steak perfectly. The dish was beautifully presented, and the portion size was generous. I also enjoyed a side of mashed potatoes and steamed carrots and asparagus, which was ok, just basic side dishes. The drinks we ordered were great , I got the Irish Oldfashion and my wife gor something with Rum, but either were delicious. Overall, I highly recommend the IronWood Steakhouse for anyone looking for a top- notch dining experience.2 of 10

Ironwood is a really beautiful restaurant to enjoy a great meal and an excellent atmosphere. We totally enjoyed the whole experience from the moment we arrived. We can’t wait to return. One of the most beautiful restaurants we have ever enjoyed, and we have been to a lot of amazing places.
