My last visit, the food was lacking the usual magic, but today my faith was restored. The Iron Kettle serves breakfast and lunch. On weekends they also serve dinners. I'd recommend the Iron Kettle to satisfy your diner craving.

Nice little place. Very basic menu. Limited drink options. Overall was a nice experience.read more

We stopped in to celebrate our top Girl Scout sellers, and it turned into such a sweet little…read moreoccasion. The girls loved sipping their "fancy" lattes and smoothies before choosing their own oversized treats -- always the best part. The French Toast muffins were delightfully over-the-top, golden, and easily the size of a baby's head. Crisp on the outside, tender and almost custardy inside -- pure comfort in muffin form. I'm still especially loyal to their cookies: perfectly tender with just the right chew, generously sized and absolutely shareable (if you're feeling generous). It was quiet on a Monday night, which made the space feel even cozier. I also love browsing their curated merch -- mugs and giftable goodies that pair perfectly with a gift card. And beyond the sweets, their menu runs the gamut from vibrant salads to gloriously greasy smashburgers. A spot that does indulgent and fresh equally well.

Driving through the trails to get to the restaurant offers a beautiful landscape full of foliage and classic looking buildings. Absolutely gorgeous. Walking up the path to get into the restaurant is quiet and serene. When entering the restaurant you enter a portion of dining room and can see the bar. Super nostalgic. The food, drinks, and dessert were all fresh and delicious. I had the Norwegian Salmon and a glass of Col Taylor (Bourbon). Paired wonderfully. My wife had the prime rib with a glass of Jingle Juice. She loved them. The service was top tier and consistent. I thoroughly enjoyed small talk with the staff in between meals. Overall my wife and I love this restaurant. It has become my favorite place. I'm very big on nostalgia and classy service.

If you like your proteins well done, you might be very happy. Spinach salad with goat cheese, blueberries, strawberries is excellent. I had the dressing on the side. Wooden chairs very uncomfortable.

Today, we came in after the big breakfast rush, so there was plenty of comfortable seating throughout the restaurant. They have a specials menu that changes with the month. Everything on the menu is innovative, and an upgrade from whatever ordinary breakfast you're used to. Our waitress served up fresh hot mugs of coffee for us, and explained that their loyalty program was moving to a Phone app. Unfortunately, we would not be able to use our Wallet card which had three punches on it already. Today I ordered a Cali chicken club wrap, which was a very delicious mix, chopped chicken breast, romaine, wedges of avocado, and bacon with a nice ranch dressing, all in a soft tortilla wrap. For my side, I chose coleslaw. My food is so delicious, no complaints here. My handsome dining companion got the Pork Belly Hash with sweet potato tots, and two eggs OE and toast. I did sneak my fork across the table to grab a chunk of pork belly which made my eyes roll back into my head. My next bite was one of the deep fried sweet potato tots. Very delicious, but I can't make a habit out of anything deep fried anymore. All of this deliciousness came our way for under 40 bucks. Thankfully, we had a nice Christmas gift certificate from one of the grandkids. We do highly recommend any of the Poked Yolk locations.

The onion soup had some burnt chunks which is not the norm (and is why this isn't a 5 star review) but everything else was as delicious as always. We both went with the blank angus strip and pepper. It's almost always my go-to. The chorizo stuffed poblano is to die for.

Chuck the bartender (and co-owner with chef Matt) is priceless; as a single diner, I spend my evening at the bar and have made many wonderful friends during my visits. The staff are all terrific. The ambiance is cozy and warm. Then, there's the food! I've been there 147 times (yes, I count) and have never had anything that wasn't absolutely delicious. And if you leave hungry, that's on you; most entrees are plentiful enough for a take-home for the next day. I highly recommend Colden Mill for your next dinner out!
