Welcome To
Iron Gate
by chef anthony chittum
Iron Gate, located near Dupont Circle, stands as one of the district’s oldest continuously operating restaurants and is split between a sumptuous dining room, a wisteria covered patio and a handsomely enclosed carriageway that houses the bar.
Chef Anthony Chittum, a native of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, and his team have revitalized the space with a menu that takes inspiration for the cuisines of Greece, Sicily, Sardinian and Southern Italy, interpreting those traditions and techniques using the finest products and seasonal ingredients of the Mid-Atlantic.
Iron Gate also serves as an idyllic oasis for fine private events both large and small, so please consider us when planning your next fête, we'd love to have you as our guests.

Chef de Cuisine
James Collura
As Iron Gate’s newly minted Chef de Cuisine, James Collura brings a wealth of experience to the table. A graduate of L'Academie de Cuisine, considered one of the top cooking schools in America, James has worked his way up steadily through the ranks beginning with an early stint with the Robert Wiedmaier Restaurant Group in 2013. From there he has gone on to cook in a number of DC’s notable kitchens including Mintwood Place, BlackSalt, Brine and Succotash before landing a plumb position as Chef de Cuisine at Gravitas in 2019, one the city’s few Michelin starred restaurants.
In his role as Chef de Cuisine at Iron Gate, James oversees all aspects of the day-to-day kitchen operations, manages recipe and menu development and oversees the hiring and personal development of his staff. A passionate regional and ingredient-focused cook, James brings to bear a philosophy and ethic that both complements and builds on those of Chef Anthony Chittum. “My goal with this position” says James “is to enhance the foundation of this incredible restaurant, and to expand on its ideals through fine food prepared thoughtfully and meticulously, yet unpretentiously – all in the name of bringing joy to our guests”.
