The food was amazing and we had the best service I think I've ever had in Orange County. I could not believe how fast and attentive the staff was. The salmon was literally perfect. Definitely get reservations as this place seems to fill up fast. The view of the mountains was amazing at sunset. I will absolutely be back. This is a new favorite.

What an amazing evening at Ironwood Cellar in Laguna Hills. We had reservations and arrived a few minutes early. The two hostesses were very kind and pleasant and took us to a wonderful table inside the restaurant. We also were greeted by Art, one of our amazing servers and terrific people. Once we were seated, Art introduced us to our table server, Johnny, who started us off with drinks and two cups of their tasty tomato bisque soup. The ambiance was quite pleasant with some terrific background music. It just so happened to be restaurant week here in the O.C. but we opted to order from the main dinner menu. Much to our surprise, Johnny brought over an Agnolotti appetizer from the manager, which was so appreciated, and the taste and texture was superb. Miguel was also quite helpful in keeping our table clear, and we had some pleasant conversations as well. We had not been at Ironwood for a while and found out that the chef we experienced prior was no longer there and that Chef Brent from Saphire in Laguna Beach was now making magic in the kitchen We both ordered the Halibut entree, and the fish was cooked perfectly, as were the veggies and fingerling potatoes. The presentation and temperature of the dishes were superb. We now have Ironwood back on the top of our restaurant list here in the OC. Johnny was attentive, professional, and kind as we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our dining experience. We finished the evening with coffee and their amazing Oatmeal Raisin Cookie crumb ice cream dish. It was a wonderful time, great people, and stellar food creations.
Highly recommended.

Had a wonderful dinner at Ironwood Cellar. Brooke was our server for the first part of our dining experience, and as they got busier, Art took our table. Both servers were excellent. We started with drinks, and my wife had the wedge, and I had the butternut squash soup. Both were excellent. The ambiance in the outdoor patio was fantastic.
For our entrees, my wife had the halibut entree, and I had the filet mignon. The filet was presented and prepared to perfection. My wife's halibut was a nice cut of fish yet not as hot as she likes her food served. Overall, our dining experience was very nice.
Highly recommended.

It's always a winning dining experience. Ironwood Cellars deliverer once again with stellar service, good food, drinks, and a very pleasant ambiance.
We were welcomed by the wonderful hostess and taken to a lovely booth, just perfect for an evening out with my wife. Art was our server extraordinare, and his hospitality, menu knowledgeable and overall kindness were so appreciated. We ordered a few tequilla drinks, which were perfect and quite refreshing. We also both ordered the tomato bisque soup, which was brought to us by Brooklyn, another wonderful person who showed professional kindness as exuded positivity. For our entrees, I ordered their signature giant meatball with spinach noodles, and my wife had the halibut entree. Chris, the manager, came by to see how the meals were and was such an awesome host during the evening. After dinner, Chris sent us a very tasty creme brulee with strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. It was so good. The coffee was terrific as well. We just love this establishment, and the staff are simply the best and most wonderful to chat with. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful dining experience and evening at Ironwood Cellars. Michal (Mehow) was our fantastic server and was truly professional, courteous, and helpful. We started with tequilla drinks and the special broccoli cheese soup. The bartender makes fantastic drinks, and the service from all staff members is stellar. My wife had her favorite Halibut entree, and I had the filet mignon entree. Both dishes were prepared perfectly and presented quite nicely.
Highly recommended.

Excellent seabass, prime short ribs, waygu burger, tomato bisque soup, butter leaf salad, foccacio bread, crumbled oatmeal cookie dessert. On our first visit we were very impressed in all aspects. There is a patio if you prefer but we were indoors - a little loud inside. Happy with service and food is phenomenal.
