    We really enjoy going out to Iron Hill Brewery in Newark. The staff is always friendly & helpful. We like that the atmosphere is low-key (especially when the college students are on break!) and we can watch sports while eating! Tonight our server was prompt, attentive, & nice. Everyone enjoyed their food - and we had a wide variety between our party of four: traditional cheese pizza, black bean burger, country schnitzel, and scallop special. We went out to celebrate my dad’s birthday so he chose the apple pie with ice cream for dessert… it was sooo good! Overall, we look forward to our next visit!

    Server was attentive, but not overly. Seafoods, salads, and sides were perfectly cooked. Even though the place was crowded, we never felt rushed and the place remained quiet. What more could you ask for?

    Loved bringing my out of town family to this destination for dining. Always a treat. Service is excellent. Each time I'm greeted with "welcome back" and I'm, sure they don't recognize me...bartender is top notch, a real professional. and the food. I'm trying to work my way through the menu, but the asparagus fries get me each time. Try not to order the Bolognaise, I dare you. It is really that good.

    We really enjoyed our dining experience the evening of December 23, 2024. The noise level was perfect, the music playing was enjoyable, and not overly loud. We could enjoy conversation without shouting at one another. Our server was attentive, without being overly bothersome. She made excellent recommendations, was friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food came out quickly, was prepared properly, and tasted excellent. We all truly enjoyed our experience, and advised the manager who came by our table of our compliments.
