They were expecting us when we arrived, and took us right to our table. We ordered drinks and appetizers (and more drinks) for all to enjoy. We tasted some interesting drink and food, though I don't think any of us were overly wowed by any of it. I can't say I'd rush back to do it again, but it was certainly a worthwhile experience and a pretty cool place and town to visit.

It was nearly 2am when we finally left, and everyone was tired by this point (particularly Teagan, who had a 12 hour shift at work at 8am Saturday). We had a raucous drive home until we stopped for a restroom break in Auburn Hills, after which everyone pretty much crashed for the remainder of the trip home.

Although I wouldn't rush back to experience this particular event over again, I would absolutely spend another evening with Tara and our kids again! If only Samantha and Payton were able to join us, then the evening would have been perfect!

The Iron Gate - Wyandotte

A look inside of The Iron Gate...

...including some Star Wars decorations...

...which even extended to the bathroom!

An Employee of the Month sign in the woman's restroom (thank you Tara for the photo!).

A closer look at the drink that both Tyler and Hana got first tonight.

Time for couples photos...

Tyler & Rose.

Teagan & Drew.

Rodney & Tara.

...and one from another angle.

Tyler looking on as Rose "smokes" a cinnamon stick that came in one of the drinks. The stick was burning on one end and looked like something else that might be smoked (and smell decidedly worse!).

Another of Tyler watching Rose...

...and one of both Tyler & Rose with the cinnamon stick.

Hana & Jay with the cinnamon sticks.

Teagan & Drew with the cinnamon sticks.

A shot of Tyler & Rose with different drink accoutrements.

Rodney looking on as Tara has both of the cinnamon sticks (everyone at the table knows Rod wouldn't smoke it!).

A look at a couple more of the drinks we ordered tonight.

A look at one of the appetizers - this was the Pew! Pew! Shrimp, I believe (Korean fried, gochujang aioli, kimchi slaw, pickled peppers, and cilantro).

Tara, Hana, Jayden, Tyler, Rose...

...Teagan, and Drew...

...all doing a shot for Tara's birthday!

Jayden wasn't a big fan...

...of the shot that she drank.
