This is a great place if you are looking for a great time while enjoying high quality food and services! The owner is a very professional and nice person along with top notch food and great ambiance! You can't go wrong with this place! 10/10 recommended

Came here on a very busy Saturday night and was absolutely blown away by the service, being that it was a super busy night! Let me explain--We had reservations at 7:30 but had to wait just a little bit longer than that because previous table was taking a little longer to close out check, but the manager kept assuring us that it would be any minute. I love the fact that the manager was checking in on us and making sure that we knew he was acknowledging us and that we were waiting. he even brought us a round of drinks to apologize for waiting, which I thought was very high class! The ambiance was pretty cozy with a mix of liveliness and casual at the same time. When we got seated, our server came right on over and helped answer any questions that we had. Since I had celiac, I informed her, and she was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what could be done gluten-free and if she didn't know, she said she would ask the chef which I appreciated! The food was superb and the drinks were delicious, but the star of the show was definitely that special, the halibut! I had it slightly modified and had the gluten-free mashed potatoes with it, but the sauce that they used was absolutely delicious and divine, and I'm literally salivating just thinking about it again. Overall, the service was so amazing and felt so friendly and welcoming that I would go back in a heartbeat. This was our first time trying this restaurant out and it definitely won't be our last, highly recommending to give this place a shot if you've never been!

Such a wonderful experience! We had reservations and from the minute we walked in to being seated, everything was fantastic! They had delicious drinks, the bartender really knew how to make special unique drinks and the server was very knowledgeable about the food, including food allergies! Food was delicious and came out perfectly timed and cooked! We had the agnolotti, wedge salad and the halibut, the burger and the salmon! We also had the Nutella ice cream with cake for dessert! Everything was phenomenal! The ambiance was great, very comfortable and classy at the same time! We will most definitely be back! The manager even came by to check on us several times and ensured we were having a wonderful experience! Can't rave more about this place!

The staff were amazing. After leaving a note on my reservation letting them know that it was our anniversary and they brought us complimentary sparking rose and congratulated us. The portion sizes for our meal were huge. The only drawbacks for us was that they sat us in the middle of the walk way and I needed to grab a jacket to put over my wife's legs as she was cold. Luckily there wasn't as much traffic near us as I thought. They wrapped up our night by serving us a surprise ice cream they tasted like apple strudel. I think we've found one of our new favorite local spots.

We love this place! Despite it being in Laguna Niguel, we drive from Huntington Beach to go here, because the food is always great, the specials are always very creative, and the service is outstanding. Touraj always greets us at the door with a smile, and we are seated quickly. Brooke is often our server and we think shes amazing, though irrespective of which server you have, the team works efficiently together to quickly get what you want. The ambiance is a great mix of lively but never loud. Our favs tend to be the seasonally customized agnolotti for the appetizers, and for mains, chicken schnitzel with spaetzel for my wife, I tend to have whatever the special is, and we often have the brownie with ice cream for dessert. Drinks are also really great and if they dont have a cocktail on the menu that you like, they will make something to your taste. We have probably been here well over 10 times and its always so great. We will be back!!

We can't get enough of the outstanding food and service at Ironwood. Touraj is truly amazing and always makes us feel welcomed at the restaurant. We dine at Ironwood 1-2 times a month and have had the most consistent pleasant experience at every visit, which is why we continue to come back. Thank you all for being a neighborhood gem!!

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.

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.
