My husband found this place and we went to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. We loved the intimate, quiet and cozy feel of the place. Everything was delicious and our servers were very attentive and answered all questions with ease. Def a pricy treat but we will be back when we can!

The ambience of the restaurant is gentle enough to feel like your enjoying a private dinner filled with soft lighting. The location is a bit isolated from many popular spots in Columbia but the taste of the dishes are fine enough to make the trip.

We went to Iron Bridge after our courthouse wedding and the staff there knocked the ball out of the park! Our party of 16 was treated like royalty!

The servers were all incredibly attentive and seemed genuinely excited to be a part of our celebration. They started our dinner off with a Cava toast, were able to handle scaling up the appetizer orders for our table without us having to think about it, and the food was hot, amazing, and served at the same time.

They brought out a gluten free dessert for a guest with Celiac's disease while the rest of us were cutting the wedding cake (we didn't even have to ask, they just didn't want the guest left out). They were able to accommodate her dietary restrictions with no problems throughout the whole meal and understood that cross-contamination would have been a problem.

I've been on dates at Iron Bridge before and always enjoyed myself, but the restaurant will forever more hold such a special place in my heart for how wonderful they made our wedding dinner!

VERY GOOD. If it wasn't so difficult to get a table this would be my favorite restaurant. Great service, excellent inventive food, great wine list.

FANTASTIC! This restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere; it is cozy but also classy. There is an abundant selection of wine which one would expect from a wine bar; the house white wine was delicious. The baba ganoosh on the meze plate was perfection! We both enjoyed the 2 dishes for $15 deal; my tomato and pepper bisque soup du jour and grilled portabella sandwich were both DELICIOUS. My lady enjoyed her quiche du jour and side salad. We will both be back; HIGHLY recommended.

A long term relationship with the owner of Iron Bridge brought us through the door when it first opened. The food, atmosphere and service keep us coming back! The menu changes often enough to keep it interesting. Offering meat, poultry, seafood and a veggie entree keep us satisfied. The wine flights are a great way to sample some wondrous wines. The staff is incredibly helpful with suggestions if you aren't sure what will go with your meal. Ask about the chocolate/caramel dessert wine!

Exceptional. I have dined at the Iron Bridge several times. Every time the service has been stellar, the food is excellent, and the wine selection amazing. Recently we were in for brunch and dined at the high community table. They were very busy,. The service was spectacular....they didn't miss a beat. The menu ( a special sheet on Sunday's) was very good. My daughter had the steak with tomato and fennel, my son had the steak and eggs, the others in our party all had quiche. Everyone was impressed with the timing and the quality of the food. We also shared a chocolate truffle cake with peanut butter mouse for dessert. It could not have been better.

Lived up to the hype. I had drove by this place many times. I was even at a happy hour at a bar and two Iron Bridge workers struck up a conversation. So the name has been floated by a number of times. Even some co-workers mentioned it.

Finally I made a reservation with my wife. We were first seated at a table where two ladies were so load and obnoxious we asked to be seated elsewhere. To their defense, clearly they had too much wine to realize how loud they were. I really wasn't interested in her kid's private school which was most of her conversation. Also to their defense this place is tiny. And you are totally crammed up on others. You can literally touch the next table without extending your arm. :)

Anyway, we were moved to a sofa with a table in front of us. Our waiter was hispanic/latin his name slips my mind I want to say it began with an "E". Awesome waiter, very polite, professional, as was all of the staff.

The wine selection was excellent, though I'm not a big wine drinker, give me the hardcore stuff. The food was excellent yet portions left something to be desired.

I believe I was here for our anniversary, or maybe it was for my birthday? My anniversary and birthday are very close so I can' t remember (typical guy) but I can attest to the fact that we were dressed up, the restaurant was dimly lit making for romantic ambiance, and the food and service lived up to the hype.

One small note. Once we were seated on the sofa, there was another table full of obnoxious drunks. Only this couple had 2 -3 kids with them. The parents clearly had no control over the kids, at one point the kids even ran around our table chasing each other before the mom stood right in front of our table and "negotiated" to have them return to their seats and behave. I'll be damned if I'm negotiating with a child, then while standing in front of our table she loudly asks "MMmmm that looks good, what are you drinking". My wife had no idea because she described the type of wine she wanted and the waiter picked one for her. Once we told her that, she grabs the waiter by the arm and asks him. He tells her. She says "MMmmmm looks good" again and is seated. Meanwhile her drunk loud husband stumbles off to the restroom.

Normally none of this would be a big deal (except the kids running laps around our table), but the atmosphere of the restaurant was not conducive to children, and ill-mannered, loud people. Take that shit to the pub. Next time someone has something negative to say about how a select group of African-Americans act in public, I urge you to take a look at your own race.

Not perfect, but best by comparison.... Always mobbed, the Iron Bridge Wine Company on 108 in Columbia consistently turns out fresh, imaginative small plates from its tiny kitchen. The service is friendly, well intentioned, and generally good (as good as you'll get in the U.S. if you're under $30/entree) and the wine selection is broad, if not deep (you'll find a just a few Rhone wines, for example, but they are good ones.) Seating is crowded but the atmosphere is jovial...all of my experiences with my elbow-to-elbow dining companions have been positive and have added to the pleasure of the evening. Where the IBWC really shines is in comparison with its main competitors in the area, Bistro Blanc (boring food, surly, unprofessional service, and an unreliable cellar--on last visit they could not find any of THREE wines ordered off the card!) and Victoria Gastro Pub (the most disorganized restaurant I've ever visited...if you leave the bar, you are in bedlam.) All told, when I'm in the mood for continental cuisine and good wine, and I don't want to make the schlepp into D.C. or Baltimore, the Iron Bridge is my top choice.

Posh.0. I am not a huge fan of wine or pricey restaurants, but I enjoyed Iron Bridge. Even though all they have is wine and expensive food.
The seating is ridiculous. You'll be so close to the table next to you that you all may as well be crammed on to a picnic table.

It's actually really good for a date.
and it's a good vibe throughout the place.

Our server was knowledgeable and helped my mother choose gluten free options (there were many of them thanks to the chef).

One of the most inventive and original establishments in the county (and now expanded to Virginia), Iron Bridge melds wine shop, bar, gourmet small plates and coffee lounge into one. It's a great place to relax and spen

*UPDATE* I am updating my review from 3 to 5 stars. I went back with a friend, and even though the night started off slow with a 30 minute wait for our table, it got better once we sat down. Our waiter was very pleasant, he went above and beyond to make sure we were content, even thought some items were missing on the menu due to problems in the kitchen, he was able to make recommendations and changes that were helpful. The manager working that night was also good. The scallops sides were different this time. I'm guessing the scallops sides (or entree sides) are seasonal hit or miss. Either way, I enjoyed the food and the services I recieved on my second visit. I had no complaints. I had the scallops entree and I have to say, I was not impressed. The scallops came with underwhelming mixed vegetables (peas, corns, squash) and couscous as the sides. While I was eating the scallops with mixed veggies, I was thinking I really didn't have to go to a restaurant during a pandemic to have mixed veggies. I could have bought some mixed veggies from Costco and called it a day. I think they need better side dishes to go with some seafood entrees. The mixed veggies with scallops was very bland, that being said, the service and ambiance was nice.

We found this place from another restaurant they own- Cured (also amazing, you can read my review there). Outstanding service. Amazing food. Nicki, Luke and Andre were super helpful And gave so many good recommendations!! The burger was honestly the most juicy, most flavorful burger we’ve ever had. The braised short rib was so tender and just fell apart. And the wine... fantastic. Just go, trust me- oh and get the Brussels sprouts.

In wanting to celebrate my sister's birthday, I found this restaurant via a Google search. I'm so glad that I/we decided to dine here. The food at The Iron Bridge Wine Co. is AMAZING! The brussel sprouts are the best that I have EVER had (and I've had a lot of them in my past)! My sister raved about her duck confit! I loved the short rib because it was super tender and moist! Needless to say, my sister couldn't have been happier with her experience and b-day celebratory dinner! My mission was accomplished ... and we will be back! 😊

I rarely give five stars 🌟 but this experience was worth writing about. Every entrée or appetizer they brought out was irresistible. The kind of finish which urges you to lick the plate. I dare you to try any other salad after tasting their Asparagus salad. Your taste buds will reach the highest benchmark til the end of time. I'm purposely boasting because overall the server, the CV19 structure, food, organization, and atmosphere was unimaginably marvelous.

My husband brought me here to celebrate my birthday. Had the calamari and 16oz ribeye. Everything was amazing. The caramel brittle and Oreo ice cream cake was so delicious
