IRIS Reviews
Was a good place but arrogant waiter ~ with odd policies .. place closed down the next day .
The place is conveniently located in Midtown. The staff, lighting, restrooms, and atmosphere were exceptional. I just wished the food quality was to match. The Broiled Shrimp was priced at $36. When it came out it was small in portion and just tossed on top of sautéed onions. It lacked presentation and something else worthy of the high price. The Iris Pastitsio was equally disappointing. I felt overall conned and insulted having this recommended by Chase Sapphire. Please do better...read full review
The Dolmas were excellent - the whipped feta and pita were to die for - the tuna tartare, bigeye tuna, and branzino were all top notch.
I plan on returning next time I’m in town for a show.

Customers often praise the warm and welcoming service, which is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. The cocktails are innovative and delicious, appealing to a variety of tastes.
The restaurant features a fresh, elevated twist on Mediterranean influences that makes the entire meal feel both comforting and refined. Desserts like the Pistachio Baklava Sundae and Cherry Baba are standouts, offering a playful and decadent experience. The ambiance strikes a great balance between elegant and inviting, with comfortable and spacious booths.
IRIS is a recommended spot in midtown for those seeking a pleasant dinner with quality seafood, such as the Maine Lobster and Branzino, and great hospitality. The pre-theatre menu is a must, offering an appetizer, an entree, and dessert. The service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is welcoming.
