Iron Gate

Has a dramatic outdoor space , with a tree and vines climbing the walls. Tony Chittum's cooking leans Southern Italian and Greek, with a wine program from Brent Kroll, and cocktails from Jeff Faile.

One of the most romantic restaurants in the city , Iron Gate features cooking from Vermilion veteran Anthony Chittum . There are both tasting menus and a la carte options at the restaurant . Read more

The new, updated Iron Gate is better than ever with Chef Anthony Chittum in the kitchen. Don't miss the sesame-crusted grilled feta or the crispy sweetbreads if they are on the menu when you go.

Amazing selection of Greek wines and every course was excellent. The mushroom risotto and venison were particularly good

Beautiful interior , good food! Limited choices for vegetarians , nothing for vegans . grilled carrots & beer salad were amazing! Cannelloni was ok, except of (canned) tomato sauce . Great service.

Cozy little place... small and family style sharing plates makes it ideal for a couple or a group. Outside patio is great too (heaters and rugs essential in winter).

The food was very good and they were very accommodating to dietary restrictions. Service was excellent and the handwritten birthday card at the end was a beautiful touch.

Loved this place great ambiance. I sat in the bar alley which was nice the also have an out door patio which will have tables during summer. A great romantic escape in the city !

You don't need reservations to sit at the bar in the Galley ✨ Highly recommend ????????

Right next to Tabard Inn , and also an amazing place for brunch ! They have a beautiful courtyard out back where you can eat outside in nice weather as well .

Go with the tasting menu . The wine selection is fantastic and the staff is very knowledgeable . Great experience.

Really good food and drinks. Beware that it’s tapas style , so you’ll pay $16 for a cup of gnocchi or one piece of octopus tentacle or four oysters . But the food really is good.

Love the outdoor seating (no reservations required). Very romantic . Delicious, refreshing menu options. Everything was good. Seasonal items and pasta were fantastic.

Try the Grilled Squid Stuffed With Feta Cheese - #foodporn #nom Grilled squid stuffed w Feta at @IronGateDC. Pairs well with a little #Etna Rosso #wine #sommelier (via @Foodspotting)

Reserve the table closest to the kitchen, go for the full tasting menu , but ask to hear what the nicer wine pairings are before deciding. I preferred the standard pairing during my last visit.

Family table is a great deal, lots of fun.

The “Caramelized Ricotta Gnocchi ” is literally the best thing I’ve ever eaten at any restaurant . This is worth the trip alone.

Amazing garden patio and delicious food. If you haven't tried this Washington establishment - now under a great chef - you must!

Great place for a date. More tapas style so bring someone who's downy to share.

This was the post perfect dining experience of my life. Definitely do the tasting menu for a special occasion !

The food is wonderful! Polite and helpful staff in a beautiful, romantic location! Perfect night out!

The doughnuts with orange blossom syrup were so delicious I almost died. The lamb meatballs were also divine.

Mixed grille platter and focaccia is the way to go ????

Find a seat in the garden and enjoy a Greek-themed a la carte menu.

Iron Gate was amazing. Delicious tasting menu & fabulous wine selection . AMAZING date location.

Great place...unique style and cuisine

Some beautiful seating areas and solid, though kinda overpriced Greek fare. Carrot app was a highlight

Sesame crusted feta was amazing. The patio space is beautiful.

Amazing date spot . Order the tasting menu paired with wine .

Had a mix of small plates . Blue crab bruschetta was amazing.

Pro tip: Go with a party of 4 and order ALL of the small plates .

Bar is great but the restaurant is so cozy near the fireplace . Great hidden gem !

Nice place for a wine in DC.

Such a cute space. Can’t wait to return

The brunch makes me cry with happiness ????????
