    Everything was good but some large parties arrived shortly after us and it became very noisy and hard to converse.

    My family and I celebrated Christmas Eve at Ironwood. We had a beautiful evening! Our meal was delicious. The surf and turf prawns were huge! The focaccia bread was a hit. The on the wagon mocktail was a special treat! The oysters fresh and tasty. Also, we enjoyed the halibut, salmon, and wedge salad. They accommodated gluten free. Our server was awesome. I'm sorry I didn't catch her name . It was a lovely night for us!

    I went to Mayfield while visiting my parents for the holidays and celebrating a promotion at work. Expectations were high given that I looked at the menu online and thought I would happily eat everything on jt...and they were met and exceeded! One great indicator: 3 days later, my father, who is usually not impressed by restaurants, is still regularly raving to relatives and friends about the Moroccan carrots and grilled broccolini. The baba ganoush and date labneh were amazing to start with (along with the house-baked foccacia), and the beef tagine croquettes and mussels with n'duja also impressed. Dessert was a smooth, silky chocolate crémeux with orange/vanilla-infused olive oil to drizzle on top...just the chefs kiss. Service was friendly and helpful and enthusiastic, and the vibe was cool and relaxed. I look forward to returning on future visits!
