What can I say, it's a wine store with shelves of wine to buy and a bar and a restaurant all in one. Make sure you're seated in the bar area that is surrounded by all the shelves of bottles of wine it has a great ambiance as opposed to the side rooms. The super cozy atmosphere of this restaurant is what I love. We started with the grilled octopus. It is the Mediterranean on a plate with fingerling potatoes sautéed with olives and feta and tomatoes, and grilled octopus that all paired so well that you felt like your were transcended to the Mediterranean. We ordered a whole bottle of wine with the starter. For dinner we ordered the Cioppino (a seafood stew of sorts) The fennel broth was delici...
We sat in the back room which was a little more private than the main area. Our server provided good service. I like the large water bottles they leave at your table. One glass of water is never enough for me. My panzanella salad was our first appetizer. With squash, blue cheese, walnuts and a shallot vinaigrette. I enjoyed all those elements, but the dressing was subtle. Also, the salad would have benefited from a leafy green. Their was also croutons that were not very crisp. Our other appetizer was the crispy brussel sprouts. They were drenched in dressing, so they didn 't approach crispy. They weren 't bad, just please describe them correctly. My main course was the black bass. No complai...
Not sure how o never reviewed here as this wasn't our first visit. David was our server and fantastic. I love that they put a birthday card at the table when you come for special occasions. Double props to David for the wine recommendation. Super delicious Australian red blend. Started with calamari. Our son is the official calamari tester. It got high marks for him and us. Hubby got the steak because it was steak night so he also got the French onion soup. Props on that. Hubby is not really a soup guy. But dang, it was super tasty. I got the summer paella on special. It was perfect. The rice plus the veggies. Could not eat it all but that means leftovers for lunch. The kid got a burger. I'm...
This place is absolutely magnificent!! I can't believe I'm now just discovering this hidden gem. I've been in Columbia for almost 8 months. Highlights for me were the amazing wine selection, the service (Matthew is out of this world awesome), and the food. We sat at the bar and grabbed a couple of appetizers and the charcuterie board. My favorite app was the mussels. Mind blowing. The Pork satay was just ok. Meat was a little dry. However, our charcuterie board was delish! As mentioned, they have an amazing wine selection. We grabbed a bottle and did a couple of flights. All reasonably priced. You also get a 50% discount on the wines they sell surrounding the restaurant. Not sure if this was...

Ambiance 10/10. Service 6/10. Food 6.5/10. Because the ambiance for dinner is dark and moody, it's hard to see your food. Usually not a problem except when you order a medium rare steak and it comes out blue. The most expensive entree on the menu. Which wasn't cooked enough. Disappointing. Then I'm offered a free entree coupon for our NEXT visit by the manager. Why would I come back when we paid full price for my undercooked meal? The crème brûlée is amazing it's a shame other items we ordered weren't. The sides were great! Been here a few times and the service has gotten progressively worse The service was lacking the last time here and we were constantly looking for our waitress/server.
Iron Bridge is a great place. The main bar room is warmer and more buzzing than the side room. The bar centers the room, and is surrounded by tables, and the walls are lined with bottles of wine. Food was good, though we just split appetizers. The mussels were great, the spinach salad was good though maybe a bit overdressed, and the calamari was great but maybe could have used a second dipping sauce a little more imaginative than tartar sauce. Service was friendly. Extensive cocktail list and lots of wines by the glass. Easy parking in a lot outside. Comfortable place, good comfort food!
The service was excellent. The waiter was very attentive and offered great options. The food was okay. I ordered the fried quail with stuffing and a cranberry glaze. The food was warm when it arrived but my quail was dry. I immensely enjoyed my penicillin cocktail. That truly cured my scratchy throat. The ambience was very cozy and beautiful. You could dress up or be casual at this restaurant.
I love this wine bar! This is the perfect place to celebrate with friends and family a major milestone in life. FOOD: Farm to table menu is seasonal so the menu is constantly changing. The wine selection is phenomenal. Service: Top three restaurants in Columbia with the best service. Ambiance: It's very luxurious. Perfect for date night.

I love this place! It is awesome for a date night and for a girls night. They have such amazing food. They even have wine flights! You can make a reservation on OpenTable. The wait staff were super nice and gave us great recommendations. The food came out quickly!
Such a cute quaint place. Out of the way and off the beaten path. A wonderful assortment of wines and spirits. I had fish for lunch but the Bourbon Peach Upside Down Cake was fabulous!!!! Check them out if you are in the Columbia Md area.
