| - I have come to the Iron Chef several times before, but I had to write a review this time.
My boyfriend's birthday was last Friday, and I decided to throw him a surprise party at the Iron Chef, mainly because it is near his house, has amazing food, and is always a fun experience. I called about three weeks in advance and the man I spoke with was extremely helpful. I believe his name was Simon, as we were on the phone for a few minutes as I explained that this would be a surprise party, and he gave my his advice as to what time I should tell people to come and what time the guest should arrive at. Come last Tuesday, I called again to confirm my reservations, and everything was set to go. On Thursday, I got a call once more to confirm their will be 18 people, and if any more or less would be coming. I appreciated that because sometimes people will decide to bring a guest or not come, and the Iron Chef helped make me feel more organized.
Come Friday night, everybody was there by 8:00, and my reservations were for 8:30. Instead of making all the guests wait, they were seated early and had enough time to get settled in, which is great since I didn't want to walk in with my boyfriend while everyone was at the front entrance. Once we got there, I texted my cousin who was helping me organize along the way, and I asked her to ask the host/hostess to say reservations under my name for 2 instead of 18, as not to spoil the surprise (you never know if someone can easily slip up). When we got in, I told the host my name, and right away he said "yes, reservations for 2, right?" We walked in to have everyone seated, and my boyfriend was happily surprised! The food, if possible, was even better than the other times, and it is reasonably priced considering it is being cooked right in front of you as a show. Every single guest had an amazing time, finished all their dishes, and there was not one single mix up or error on the staff's part. After we finished our meal, the staff brought out a cake that I had made and everyone sang happy birthday. Although they did not cut the cake, I preferred that as I wanted to cut it myself, and they immediately brought plates and cutlery so no one was waiting. They brought everyone individual their own bill with absolutely no confusion, and even told us that they had already added a 15% gratuity tip, which is common in parties of 8 or more at most restaurants, but I liked how they did that as some people don't notice and end up tipping an extra 15%. I did not feel rushed, and they let us sit for a good half hour even after we had finished eating the cake and were just chitchatting. All in all, an excellent experience, and I cannot wait to go back! Iron Chef, you made planning and throwing a surprise birthday a complete success, and I want to thank you for your excellent food and service!
