    Repeat customers and let me start by saying that we had great service on our recent visit. We chose Ironhand due to their warm atmosphere, wines and gf friendly menu. We called ahead and we were able to get a table on little notice. Our server, Liz was quick to take our orders and offer suggestions. We split a bottle of the staff recommended Cabernet Franc, it was very good. Our group each ordered flatbreads, however when I ordered I forgot to ask for gf. When the food came out, I quickly told our server that I made a mistake and could she box mine up and put an order in for a gf flatbreads. Liz, quickly thanked me for offering but said that the kitchen could make me a new one and they wouldn't charge me. That wasn't necessary because it was my fault, but what great customer service. The wine and food was very good, and the service was top notch. I highly recommend.

    Another great outing at Ironhand. The highlight was definitely the sweet potato fries. They were sprinkled with Tajin and paired with a citrus sriracha aioli, which was absolutely delicious. The flatbread was good, but nothing too special and some of the avocados were underripe. It was latin dance night and the service was fast even on with the large crowd, so overall no complaints!

    Swanky wine bar with a country farm feel. Upscale meets down home country . Put on your boots or a blazer and bring your drinking game! Lol. Great date night. Craft beer, local wine. And some small bites. As well as some flatbreads. We went here before a concert at the armory. It was a little busy, mainly at the bar. But the concert was awesome!! CJ Field and Ira Dern did not disappoint like the service here. Ok, so as I wait here for my food watching food sit in The service window not being served, my star rating is dropping. It is frustrating to see people who weren't even here when we ordered get their food before us. And unfortunately we are going to a concert and though the bar is now slammed it seems they don't know how to handle it. Too bad I had high hopes walking in. The waitress was apologetic but the manager didn't even come over. The food was pretty good. We got it to go and ate it in the armory. Really had high hopes so we'll give it another shot.

    Absolutely gorgeous winery (even the bathroom was large & elegant). I tried 4 different wines: Cab Franc rosè - It was fine - light & easy. Dry Riesling - Not a fan. For a 2019, it tasted much older - heavy petrol notes & not much fruit or acidity left. It was probably much better a few years ago. Riesling/Grüner Veltliner - Better than the Riesling, but not great. Sparkling Rosè - So good! I liked this one so much I bought two bottles to take home. The food was impressive. We ordered more than we should have (The "small plates" are not that small!), but prices were very reasonable, so no complaints there. The burrata, smoked salmon, and Parmesan truffle fries were all delicious. Our server was very good. She seemed a bit new but was very friendly & attentive. The only slight negative is that I was brought a very obviously dirty wine glass. There was red wine clearly visible around the top of the glass before anything had been poured. I swapped for a clean one, so no biggie, but they need to actually LOOK at the glasses before they bring them to the table. They offer 15% off two bottles if you dine in, and they waive the tasting fee with a $40 bottle purchase. Very reasonable, and I felt like it was a great value overall for a terrific wine lunch date.

    Food was  amazing and presentation was perfect!

    Hosted a Bridal Shower at Ironhand Wine Bar this past weekend and the food, service, and atmosphere were fantastic! Highly recommend! Special thanks to Liz, the event planner, the ‍ Chef and bar tender that day! All went above and beyond to help make the Bride To Be feel extra special!

    This is a great location that has a vibe not unlike a modern industrial barn that serves wine, craft beers, and flatbreads. The service could be better, as they seem to be understaffed, but I mean, who isn't understaffed these days anyway. I got a tall pour of a Michigan chardonnay and my husband got a "Bad Elmer's Porter" Notes of chocolate and coffee in that one, and mine was sharp on the front, but creamy on the back end. We got 2 flatbreads, steak and mushrooms, and a pepperoni peppadew. It was hard because this seemed to be one of those times when your order gets out at the most inopportune time...starving and have somewhere to be... Our wait person took 20% off the bill, but we would have gladly paid full amount to get our food on time. It was hard watching tables that arrived 10, 15, 20 minutes after us, receiving their delicious looking food. We figured it out, got out flatbreads, made it to the concert, but instead of relaxing, it was frustrating. The food was good, I enjoyed the flatbread, I love mushrooms, less enjoyed the pepperoni one... Anyway, I'm sure that this place is cool and the food is good, libations are to the alcoholic percentage of your choice, but for us at this moment, it was less than what we hoped for, and that was just disappointing no matter the concessions you make. Still, I'd recommend that you come here.

    Steak egg and mushroom wrap. Trust me the other side shows it. It's ok needs a little kick in flavor.

    After the second time coming here, I decided to yelp. Appetizers are marvelous, super tasty and shareable. The first time there we shared the brie and bacon jam which was great. We had the steak brie and mushroom flatbread pizza which was just room temperature and ok. This time our group shared the same brie bacon jam again. Our server forgot to veing it out and when she remembered it was a little dried on the top but still tasty. We shared burrata which was excellent! The pesto was flavorful and all together the appetizers was fresh and light. I had the steak egg and mushroom wrap. It was just ok. Again room temperature. Food-3.5 -4 star - they need to learn temperatures #1 and more seasoning in main courses Service 1.5-2 star. Both times the service has been terrible. First time our server rarely came without us getting his attention. The second time our server was not quick and left for long periods. We were sitting for 10minutes without drinks or ordering. We got drinks ordered and asked what the specials were. Meanwhile we see our server hugging and chatting with another table for over 10 minutes. Then their order was taken, we asked her if we could order now. This is when she remembered our brie. She didn't offer what the specials were we had to ask. One guest was considering the Sweet Spot and she was told there might be 1 left but she thought they were out. (They had been open for 30 minutes) We asked if she would check and there were 2 orders of a french toast with raspberries. Our server did run bsck to tell the kitchen 1 sold! We asked for more plates for sharing and she fotgot. There were a couple other things that were forgotten. We then sat waiting for our checks for another 15 minutes! Then the server assumed the reservation deposit was being split amoung checks. One of my friends paid for the reservation fee, so the server had to re-do the checks. The nicest employee was the young man who cleared our dishes. There was a trio play today and they were great!

    This was such a wonderful surprising find in South Bend, IN! I haven't been to South Bend and was having a hard time finding the right atmosphere for me, but... DANG did I find it. The service was unbeatable and the wine was better. It's a wine bar but the food compares to an upscale restaurant. If you're from around South Bend or traveling, this is a must!

    This spot is super cute and was pretty empty on a Sunday for brunch. Tried the cinnamon roll, veggie and egg wrap and the quiche. I'd definitely recommend the quiche! Preset tasting flights are a good quantity and glasses are good sized pours too! If you can, try a mimosa too.

You drive up to the awning and a valet opens the gates for you to park. We had reservations. It was very crowded. I am told it's not typically that crowded. It was hard to hear it was so loud.

Glad I did. The salad was ok. The salami was smokey it added to the veggies. But for the price it was small and disappointing. 2 people got the prime rib sandwich and it was pretty sloppy. It's better to eat with a knife and fork. I was told it was good. The sweet potato fries have cayenne pepper on them. The chopped salad with tofu was also disappointing. The tofu had a weird bbq type sauce. The server was nice and she was fine. The atmosphere is more high scale. Just disappointed in the taste of the food and portion to cost. Cool experience being on campus but you're paying for it.

The restaurant is clean and attractive. I had the Croque Madame, which was literally perfect, and better than those I had in Paris.

Others in my group enjoyed the Short Ribs Benedict, Grand Bebe, and Tortilla de Patatas. (I'll note our first visit was the morning after a Notre Dame home game, and their stores were depleted: we could have anything on the menu as long as it was chicken. :) The chicken dishes we had that visit were very well done as well - moist and juicy on the inside and lovely on the outside.

Onion Soup Gratinee - $11 - Needed salt and wasn't very flavorful. 2/5 stars. Chorizo and Shrimp - $22 - This was easily the best dish. Cooked well, good flavor, and a decent portion (probably because the price is so high). 4/5 stars. Chicken and Leek Puff Pastry - $26 - The pastry was lacking. It was soggy, weird taste to it, and just not pleasant. The filling was also mediocre. Don't get this. 0/5 stars. L'Entrecote de Paris (Steak Frites) - $45 - The steak was chewy, the fries were over salted. For $45, this was not enough steak, whatsoever. Not like it was a good cut either. It's a rip off. 0/5 stars. Pan Roasted Duck Breast - $36 - My mom and I both ordered this, and we could combine both of our dishes to make ONE duck breast. Portion was horribly small. Never have I ever been given HALF a duck breast. The sauce wasn't good either and it was broken. 2/5 stars cause the rest of it was cooked fine. The birthday dessert was a scoop of ice cream and some stale cinnamon pastry thing. This was wildly bad. If the flavors were on point, the prices would be understandable. But the flavors were bad, the prices are expensive, and we waited a very long time to get our food. We couldn't get into a different restaurant that night (it was a Saturday night on move in weekend), but this one we could get into, and now we know why. Don't go here.

The service is exceptional and the food is delicious. We loved the potato skins which were unique in that they were more like tempura than traditional potato skins. The Brussels had a ton of flavor as did the steaks and salads. The highlight was probably the Sword of John Adams. It's basically a giant kabob with grilled meats (steak, lamb & chicken) and vegetables. It reminded me of something I imagine you'd see at Medieval Times but much more tastefully done. The Pumpkin Spice Gelato and Crème Brûlée were a nice way to finish our dinner. A bit unexpected that they also offer sushi. We did not try it this time but based on our first experience, would feel confident to try it next time since everything was SO good.

Now for the food... we were so excited for the steak fondue... three small cast iron pots, less than a 1/4 cup of fondue the same amt of meat and mushrooms and a mound of toasted bread cubes... this was tasty, but for $18 those crocks should have been filled three quarters full! For dinner I ordered 1/2 of the arugula salad with chicken. I could not eat the salad as it was drenched in dressing, almost like it it been dressed earlier and lest to wilt.. chicken was over seasoned and quite dry. The burger... COVERED in two sauces... they don't described it as a smothered burger... such a shame bc the flavors were there. If choosing, pick the others, prices are much better and hands down, so is the food..
