    The loft is my preferred area in the Iron Abbey because downstairs is hot and usually crowded.

    Came here on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving with a friend because we got burned at DeLucia's…read moreBrick Oven Pizza in Raritan (they ran out of dough, the heck). This wine bar is way too cute for its own good. My friend and I split the Truffle Fries and the Cheese and Bread Charcuterie Board -- I always finish my food and I could not finish this. Make sure you have 3 people to tackle it. Like another patron said, this place is intimate and loud at the same time. They only have one bottle menu somehow in 2025, so you might have to wait a little to see it. Just saying. I think they only had 2 people working somehow, but we didn't have to wait egregiously for anything. Overall, highly recommend!

I literally said to myself as I drove around Somerville that I wish there was a wine or cocktail bar for...mature people like myself to chill at. So I looked up wine bars and boom - VintEdge was right down the street. I came in around 9pm, picked a comfy seat by the window, and ordered. Can you believe I had never had an espresso martini until that evening?? So my first was a pumpkin espresso martini. Well I may have had 2. And another drink. Ahem. The service was great, not fussy, and I wasn't rushed even as we approached last call. Visit 2: having heard about my great experience there alone, my cousin arranged to meet me there last week. Or so she thought. Through a series of mutual miscommunications, I was here at the crib waiting for her, while she was at the wine bar waiting for me. Once we figured that out, she got us some food to go and we ate here at home. Verdict: -excellent seating options - stools, couches, chairs -food is so so good. Tartare, truffle fries. Fig jam pizza -drinks include awesome bottles and seasonal takes on old favorites This could be my new spot.

    It's been years since I came here and a friend gave us a gift card a while ago so we finally made a…read morereservation. It was a Wednesday evening so there weren't many people dining. I would say six tables at most. The decor seemed a little tired and could use some freshening. The bar area sits a step down from the entrance and seemed active. We decided to each have a drink to start and I had the prime rib carpaccio. The meat was delicious and very thinly sliced. The cheese and capers were a perfect flavor profile. They had elk on the menu so I couldn't resist. It was cooked perfectly and absolutely melted in my mouth with a tasty reduction over top. My wife had the seared scallops over two colors of noodles and scallions. The scallops were a touch too salty yet cooked perfectly. The dark chocolate cake was simply amazing. A must if you go. The food was quite good and they always seem to have some unique options if you like wild game. Give it a try and see what you think.

    This restaurant has rested in my childhood neighborhood for years. When I was a child I could have…read morealmost walked here if needed. Despite this, I have never actually been here (it was previously a different restaurant). It's funny how that works. Even now it's not that far away from me. My fiancé wanted to check it out for their restaurant week. It's obvious this place has its loyal followers. We sat in the bar area and it was packed with people who clearly have been going for years. My review obviously will never taint that, but I have to be honest with what I experienced and ate. One thing I noticed was how rushed our waiter was. He was running around like crazy and we all realized he was the second bartender and also the waiter for everyone in the bar area. I do feel bad about that, I know that's how things work sometimes, but that definitely showed in his disposition. He felt rushed needing to equally attended to everyone eating and also everyone at bar. I don't fault him for that he did a good job under the circumstances, but it's a shame he was put into that position. As far as the food goes, I will admit I found myself disappointed. For my appetizer, I ordered the mushroom toast. I kid you not what came out was just the bread, they served for free at the table, lightly grilled with some messily chopped mushrooms on top. I'll be honest and say I would be embarrassed to serve that to any customer. For my main course, I had the lamb dish. It was decent but the amount of lamb compared to the massive mound of photos and greens was not enough. Plus, the dish promised a demi-glaze that was almost not present at all making whole dish eat dry. With more lamb and sauce the dish would have been pretty good. For desert, I ordered the crème brûlée. It was ok, but was somewhat flavorless. The drink I ordered was good and came in a very unique martini glass that kept the drink cold. Overall, I will say I was disappointed in the food here. I wasn't expecting 5 stars, I was expecting a decent hometown restaurant meal. What I got was somewhat below that. I can't say I will never be back, but it definitely won't be anywhere near the top of my radar.
