The Iron Room

Bar$-$$

Says critic Craig LaBan: “This is obviously a drinker's paradise, with its wall of spirits, high-quality wines, and excellent collection of craft beers. But chef Kevin Cronin's creative gastropub-plus menu has also found its groove, with indulgence overdrive in such specialties as pierogies stuffed with foie gras mashed potatoes, udon noodle mac-’n-truffled cheese, a gamy house-made duck scrapple, and what is surely one of A.C.'s very best burgers, a Snake River kobe patty that you can top with your pick of some serious cheeses, such as Truffle Tremor or Point Reyes blue."
