“ This restaurant is a perfect spot! Delicious and inventive dishes, fantastic vegan options, and a wonderful crew. Thank you ! ”
“ Came here for a date night with my girlfriend and we loved it. The ambiance was exactly what we were looking for. It was a nice cozy feel and lucky for us we got a booth which helped give us some privacy to be able to chat and have our time together over a nice dinner. I had a dirty vodka martini with my dinner and it was just how I like it, very dirty but well strained so bits of olive from the brine weren’t floating around in my drink. We started with the truffle fries and a cup of the potato cheddar ale soup. We loved both. My GF is a truffle fry fanatic and thought these were the best ones she’s ever had. Soup is a massive staple of her diet and she thought the soup was silky and flavorful, which I agree with. I had the chef’s bistro steak medium and added red wine Demi glace and sauteed mushrooms. The whole meal was very flavorful and good sized portion. I thought the steak would be a little thicker but am not complaining at all. The steak was cooked medium as I requested and the red wine sauce was so good. I’m a chef who prides himself on cooking steaks so I know a great steak dinner when I have one. The presentation was nice and straight forward. My GF had the fettuccine Alfredo with veg. She liked it a lot. For dessert we shared a Java-tini and the Chocolate covered Cherry martini with a warmed chocolate bourbon brownie souffle. All were delicious but I liked the Java-tini better. I can appreciate the presentation of the chocolate Cherry one but I’d have rather the chocolate syrup had been put into the drink and mixed up into it than along the interior of the glass. The souffle was delicious and plated beautifully. Thank you Irises staff for a great night out with my GF. We will definitely be back and will recommend you to others. ”
“ A constant go to for a great meal! The chicken sandwich is always a great choice! My favourite is the Parmesan Truffle Fries! ”
“ Wonderful dinning experience!! 100% recommend the buffalo cauliflower and baked artichoke starters! And the staff was super nice and friendly ”
“ Excellent food, could not have been prepared better even by myself. I had spinach/artichoke dip entree, enough for an old lady's dinner! Wonderful. First taste was the lovely garlic and wonderful blend of cheeses. Yummy. ”
“ Wonderful experience here! The food and service were great. We came on New Years Eve and they had a special fix price menu, which you could also order items from “a la carte.” The special butternut squash bisque and risotto were outstanding, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. ”
