Hillsborough Bailliage’s next event is an Induction Dinner at one of the Peninsula’s Legendary and long-time Restaurants.

Our team has been sampling the food at this historic and beautiful venue and we are coordinating with the restaurant’s Food and Beverage Director and their long-time Chef and his staff, to present a special menu of food paired with wines.

The Venue and the Culinary Staff:

The Iron Gate was established in the 1960s and has maintained its reputation for quality and charm ever since. It is one of the few remaining “old school” fine dining spots where guests can feel transported to a more glamorous era of dining. The restaurant has undergone recent upgrades while preserving its vintage ambiance, including a comfortable bar area and attentive and professional service staff.

Mark your calendars.

The Invitation and RSVP will be sent to you by email, in early December.  There is ample free parking adjacent to  the restaurant and in the nearby streets. 

Vive La Chaîne!

Michael Kalkstein, Bailli
