Iris Reviews
Our server, Mary, was great. Good knowledge of foods and helpful with wine pairing. Friendly and enthusiastic.
Coffee, crab cakes and fries very good, lots of real crab not filler. Service so so, had to ask for cream and spoon for coffee. A very busy place but nice. Recommend.
One of the best dining experiences in Raleigh! Chef Matt is amazing, and you can really tell how much thought and creativity goes into every dish. The food is incredibly fresh, and I love that the menu rotates — it gives you a reason to keep coming back and try something new every time. Everything we've had has been absolutely delicious, and the NCMA setting makes the experience even better. Highly recommend checking out the café! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
