“ Iron Gate is a rare gem located in a quiet part of Belmont. The interior reminds me of club dining in a previous era. It has soft lighting, palatial decor, and servers dressed in tux. The continental fare is traditional with touch of class, and no hype nor hip. The food flavors are intense and rich, the ingredients fresh and premium select. I had the escargots bourguignon, before it becomes extinct from the menu. They tasted fantastic, not too chewy nor mushy. Why nobody likes them any more? The onion soup was just classic, even the over seasoning (!) Entree such as rack of lamb (in wine & mushroom sauce) and scallops (sauteed in white wine, cream & mushrooms) tasted outstanding and very nostalgic. For Gen Xers who want to experience “back to the future” and good old continental food, this could be the place (before it disappears like Betamax). Analogous to vertical wine tasting, the cuisine at Iron Gate offers the best of vintage 1960's dining to compare with 2000's. (4 stars) ”
