    Celebrated my wife’s 60th Birthday. We sat by the jazz piano bar and had a great time. Food and service was great. Our waiter, along with everyone, sang happy birthday.

    Brandon was amazing!! He’s always so happy and fun! Food was outstanding as always!! Wine, food, friends and Irene’s family oriented staff is why we continue to return time and time again. Highly recommend! Look for the hidden Sugarbear on the painted ceiling in the back room. 😉

    I expected it to be good from reviews but OMG! Our server Kelli was an amazing experienced server that had perfected alertness without hovering. As we were not planning to order anything with Irene’s famous red sauce, she suggested that we try the meatball appetizer Best red sauce ever - not kidding. As to the entrees we ordered, the duck was perfectly prepared and the portion could have easily fed two (and, yes, I consumed it all myself - HA!). My wife had the fish and was fully satisfied. We cant wait to go back.

    Our waiter, Sugar Bear, was very sweet and attentive. He made good recommendations and really made our dinner experience memorable. The mussels were delicious along with my osso buco and the cheesecake. And the lasagna is always great!

    Irene’s was lovely. We sat outside where the ambience was wonderful. It was quiet so you could actually carry on a conversation without shouting. Our server was Hunter and he was perfect. Highly recommend.
