Very lovely restaurant. Food was very good. Went with friends and had a great time. Nice wine choices. They don't rush you out. The service was very good and it's a lovely restaurant. Surprised to find it in a strip mall although it is a stand alone. Would definitely go back.

Stopped at the Tesla charging station down the way, wasn't in the mood for weinerschnitzels or Mickey ds.... Ended up walking up that big hill to get here but it was well worth it! Walked in, got seated righted away on a Friday night around 8:30. Very warm ambience, perfect for a date night. Dijana, our server was amazing! Very knowledgeable of the menu, and recommended the wild mushroom soup as a starter ( ) Jidori chicken (green sauce was next level) and the lamb shank. The chef definitely delivered! Food was very high quality, with a lovely presentation. If you're in this area I would definitely recommend stopping here. They are highly reviewed for a reason! Hopefully I'm back in the area soon or on my next trip to San Diego I'll pop in!

Was here with a friend, last week. I ordered the salmon, and it was super tasty and perfect! The customer service was a delight! This classy place didn't disappoint. The Mac n cheese skillet was a hit! Do make reservations on OpenTable! Highly recommend! Will most definitely return!

We decided to come here last minute to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint! We made reservations on open table and I noted we were celebrating. Service 10/10 - from getting greeted to getting seated, to just service all around, it was a very nice experience. Our hostess, our waitress, the folks that brought out our food or picked up plates, everyone that we interacted with was wonderful. We felt seen and cared for, and it was nice to have people wish us a happy anniversary. Not to mention, they sat us at a booth with a nice Mountain View! Food 8/10 average. Ok, don't want you to take that wrong, but their main menu items were fantastic. The burrata, the meatball, the oysters ... delicious! However, we went with the meat special (bison short rib) and it really was sub par. It as dry and the vegetables were underwhelming. But it's alright, it was still ok. Creme brûlée they surprised us with at the end, it was so incredibly sweet (no pun intended). However note back to the chef, part of the sugar was very burnt and bitter. I didn't want to say anything because it was a sweet gesture.. Anyway, regardless it was the first time my husband and I have dined here together and we most definitely will be returning. Thank you for such a wonderful evening!!

The food was amazing! I had the chicken schnitzel. So good! Ambience was great. Not loud. Easy to carry on a conversation. We will be back.

I hosted my birthday party here for a group of 15. I set up the reservation online and asked for the seating that I wanted. I called to confirm the day before and everything had been arranged already. When my party and I arrived, the table was already set up and we were seated right away. They were really busy so be sure to make reservations before going, especially for larger parties. We ordered a bunch of appetizers. We started with Duck Wings, Mac and Cheese, Burrata, Brussel Sprouts, Foccaccia Bread, and some people got soup as well. Wow, the appetizers did not disappoint. Everything was delicious. We were almost full when the dinners arrived. I had the Giant Meatball. I was sure that this meatball wouldn't be "that" big, but I was wrong. Not only was it really giant, it was amazing. It was the best meatball I've ever had. I had to take more than half home with me. Other people ordered a variety of things including the chicken schnitzel, wagyu burger, salmon, lamb shank, and the ribeye steak. Everyone loved their food and had plenty left to take home as well. For dessert I got the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Crumble and it was the perfect ending to a truly delicious meal. My friends also tried the Creme Brule and loved that as well. It was a wonderful birthday celebration thanks to Ironwood. The service was impeccable and I will definitely be returning in the future to enjoy more of their menu items.

After my last experience and review, I was contacted by management and clealry, they care about their customers, because they value their business. I met a friend of mine last night for dinner in Ironwood and my dinning experience was as good as it always used to be. Touraj and the staff made sure everything was superb. It is great to know that local restaurant keeps their quality and values their customers. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Had dinner last night. Very good and love the atmosphere. Kind of mountain chic. Stone and wood. The doors were open and there was a lovely breeze. The watermelon panzanella was good but it's not traditional in that the bread is croutons and not soaked stale bread. Burger, halibut and lamb shank all were very good. A little light on the salt so having some on the table would be nice. We were too full for dessert. Lamb shank is incredibly tender. Eat more lamb folks.

I am glad to be able to share with you a dining option located in the southern reaches of Orange County that will be worth your consideration. Ironwood is located just off of Highway 5 just north of Mission Viejo and is located a strip mall of sorts. While many of the shops there appear to have settled in a few years, Ironwood appears to be one of the more updated businesses that occupy this location with a modernized feel inside and out. Dining options include both indoor and outdoor tables with ample room for parties to enjoy good conversation with a little space. One thing that will be very noticeable is that it is not a national type chain with very friendly staff who were very good at their craft. Our server, Lexie, was very attentive, polite and made every effort to ensure the experience was exceptional. The folks here very much work as a team with service and friendliness their underlying goals. The menu is pretty diverse with surf and turf options along with a few more casual offerings. The list of their wine options covers the preferences of most all wine consumers with impressive options for wine enthusiasts. To start, my friend and I settled with a half dozen oysters and their "duck wings." The oysters were a single variety and were served with the traditional accents. Very fresh and good sized. The duck wings appear to be crowd favorites as almost every table we saw had a plate of their own. Served with four wings, they were extremely tender with a crisp edge. I would consider them as having a hint of sweetness, rather than savory, and something I would order again. For my entrée, I ordered a Halibut dish that was topped with a subtle sauce and was served on a medley of vegetables that were cooked to perfection. The combination of all mixed very well and if the pictures provided make the entrée appear to be large, it's because it was. The Halibut was cooked perfectly as well. My friend enjoyed the Schnitzel which was a healthy serving topped with a sauce and, also served on a bed of cooked vegetables. I was able to sample this as well and I would consider it a winner with a little salt as it had a slight sweetness to it. The prior reviews had Ironwood rated at close to 5 stars and I support the rating. On this occasion, it had a steady stream of patrons and many appeared to be regulars based upon my conversation with some. Its popularity is well placed as the entrees that came out of the kitchen looked extremely inviting and if they tasted anything like ours, I will not hesitate to return for another opportunity to enjoy their other offerings. This was a great find for me and I encourage you to stop in to have your own delightful discovery in the southern end of town. Bon Appetite!

I recently visited this traditional American restaurant for the second time, two years after my first visit. The service remains impeccable, and the food is consistently good. Remarkably, the dishes recommended by the server were exactly the same as my first visit: their signature duck leg and pasta. It's impressive how their menu and quality have remained steady over the years. I highly recommend trying these dishes out.
