Ironwood, under the direction of Chef Ken Baker, is the PGA Resort and Spa’s contribution to fine dining. Located just beyond, and opening onto, the Lobby, Ironwood is the epitome of elegance and sophistication. The décor is quietly done, the service friendly and attentive, and the menus are innovative. Ironwood is an American grille that takes a wonderfully fresh, unexpected approach to some of the world's most classic recipes.

Certified-Angus beef dishes comprise a major portion of the menu, with a variety of seafood, pork and duck filling in the gaps. Menus are designed around organic ingredients from local purveyors. I can personally recommend the She Crab Soup; the Sea Bass, when available, is a house specialty and not to be missed; Pork Delmonico is another house specialty I can recommend; and I am always a sucker for bread pudding – Ironwood’s is among the best I’ve tasted.

Ironwood’s cellar boats of more than 350 wines, the majority of them America's very best. Oenophiles can retire to the private wine room, which is ideal for tastings and small, intimate events.
