Artist Adam Dennis , based out of the Twin Cities, created the pyrographic designs burned into wood on the Ironwood cocktail boards. Another detail at Ironwood is the iconic digital drink printer, fitted with the ability to print any image on an Espresso Martini , explains Thoma. The gratification of being a chef and working with The Steel District establishments and their teams instills integrity and respect; as the team works together, they grow together, adds Ernst. “We work as a team. Everybody has an investment,” said Ernst. “Everybody has a part to play in our successes and our failures, and we learn from both of them.” Ernst attributes the Big Sioux River to Sioux Falls' growth as a city, and says seeing historic parts of the city be preserved and developed has inspired him. “We’re bringing together family, community, and the best kind of gracious sense of hospitality,” shared Ernst. In addition to hospitality, Ernst says the transforming raw product to culinary excellence is important not only to Ironwood, but all three of the new Steel District restaurants by the group. Ultimately, they aim to add to the elevated food culture in Sioux Falls with family and community in mind. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT IRONWOODSF.COM+
