Cast Iron Chef Chop House & Oyster Bar

The servers were all very friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and cozy. When you walk in, you’ll notice there are plenty of seats and a surprisingly spacious interior. The food was pretty good. I highly recommend the bone-in ribeye — we ordered it medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly with great seasoning. My friend had the New York strip, and that was delicious as well. The shrimp was very fresh, though a bit too salty for our taste. The lobster tail was small, but nicely seasoned, tender, and juicy. Someone at the next table was celebrating a birthday, and the staff brought out a cake with candles. When we were leaving, I noticed the plate said “Happy Birthday,” which was a really sweet touch.

I had an amazing experience here for my birthday dinner. I originally reserved a table for 6 but I had two more guest wanting to join so I called ahead and notified them and they were very nice enough to help me get a table for 8. When I got there I was greeted and sat immediately with my party. The servers were quick and efficient. When we ordered our food it came out all the same time and it was absolutely delicious! I’m so glad I got to spend my birthday here! I’ll definitely recommend this place!

I took my husband to his birthday after hearing so many great things and reading positive reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we expected. To start, our waiter was wonderful—attentive, friendly, and patient. However, the food itself was just okay. I ordered the salmon, and the plating was very sloppy. It looked like it had been rushed and thrown on the plate without care, but honestly that wasn’t even the main issue of the night. While my husband was enjoying his drink, the entire bottom of his glass suddenly broke off, spilling everywhere. It was extremely strange, and both our waiter and another customer witnessed it. Instead of handling the situation with concern or professionalism, the manager came over very aggressive and accusatory. She immediately questioned m

It's Sunday and every once in a while... more often than not, we brunch! Lol. We heard about the bottomless mimosa brunch here at Cast Iron Chef Chop House & Oyster Bar so we pulled up to check it out! Here's how it went... Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the busy State Street is this gem. There's no private parking, but plenty of comfortable, spacious street parking right out front. Once inside you're immersed in a very fine-dining, elegant, laid-back atmosphere. Lots of woods, intimate-low lighting and upbeat music. I loved the vibes in here. The first room is your bar room where the rail is off to the left, but with plenty of seating to the right. If you continue through the room you enter the main dining room where it's all booths and other tables. Service: Stacey was our server.

Drove down to New Haven after a friend dined here for the first time and recommended it for dinner. We had a great time, seated all the way at the back in the Red Room, which was quiet and cozy (the front dining rooms were much louder and when we were seated away from them, we were relieved). Brett was our server and he was attentive and warm. The menu is expansive enough that you can visit several times and try something different each time. We had the lamb lollipops, the mussels (which my husband said was an incredible amount for the price and the sauce was to die for), the short rib, the NY strip, the mushrooms, and the bread pudding with ice cream and caramel sauce. If you’re full just reading it, we were happily full eating it all. 😋. The cocktails were also quite good (I’m a bourbo
