Iron Rose

“After visiting the Gibbs Museum, We wanted a place very close by to have lunch. We were so happy to find the Iron Rose restaurant at the Mills House Hotel. Although the main restaurant was occupied by a large conference group, we were quickly seated at a nice table in the bar area in front of windows overlooking the patio. We ordered a shrimp poorboy, swordfish sandwich(without bread)and club sandwich. Everyone enjoyed their meal! Melanie waited on us and was very attentive to any needs we had. The prices were very reasonable and we had a lovely lunch before returning home to Summerville. We will be back!”

“Absolutely loved our visit here! The cocktails and mocktails were both great — I had a mocktail with pear puree that was incredible. I really enjoyed the catch of the day dish, the corn, bacon, fish combination was so good! The clue crab appetizer was probably my favorite part of our meal though, so fresh! We also enjoyed the swordfish sandwich with the comeback sauce. We attempted to visit again before we left, but there was a private event, so we hope that we are able to visit in our next visit to Charleston. ☺️”

“Great nice dinner out! Our server, Abigail, was wonderful! Love the potatoes! Drinks were great! Love the atmosphere. Catch of the day was perfect and fresh! The chicken could have used a bit more flavor but was so tender! Banana pudding dessert was fabulous!!”

“We were two couples celebrating a birthday. We had a reservation and they seated us early. The dining room was loud so we requested the patio, but there was no availability. My husband’s old fashioned arrive with a cute rose ice cube. My Amaretto Sour with a Cabernet Float came in a Coupe glass and was as tasty as it was pretty. All of the food we ordered was delicious! Bites: Tuna Crudo, Pickled White Shrimp. Entrees: Charred Octopus, Seared Scallops, Cider Braised Pork Shank, Market Fish (Halibut). Veggies: Flash Fried Brussels Sprouts. Dessert: Chocolate Crunch Cake. Our server, Lillian, was really helpful with dietary restrictions and menu recommendations. Thank you for a memorable meal. If the dining room wasn’t as loud, this would have been a 5 star review.”

“This place is aesthetic and well maintained. Patio seating has a fountain in the background. However, our experience here was rather underwhelming for what we paid. We decided to not order our entree and go elsewhere for. Water had a paper in it which we pointed out. Our server tried to remove a paper in the water using my dinner knife on the table, stopped midway, took the glass indoors and did the same. The Brussels sprouts came without any seasoning unlike what's on the menu. Absolutely no honey, chili or lime on ours. The busy bee mocktail and the blue crab cake fritters were delicious and a saving grace for our half meal. The pickled shrimp dish was just average.”
