    I was really looking forward to my birthday dinner part of a birthday weekend. The duck was disgusting. It tasted like it had barbecue sauce on it and then some kind of raspberry sauce. The Caesar salad was OK. Nothing remarkable my son ordered a steak that was the special it had to be sent back? It was disgusting. The waitress was nice. The service was OK. The table was extremely uncomfortable and crowded. The place was creepy very disappointing and then very expensive. New Orleans has wonderful restaurants. This is definitely not one of them.

    Every detail about our dining experience was exceptional. The diversity of the menu in addition to the high quality of preparation and presentation. Kelli was attentive, well paced, and offered superb recommendations. It was also nice to see the broad variety of wines, which allowed a perfect meal pairing. We are very much looking forward to going back on our next trip to New Orleans.

    Irene’s is always a fav of ours. The service was great. The watermelon salad was great. The filet would have been better without all the trimmings on and around. The fried eggplant was a good side for the filet.

    The food was absolutely incredible, and the service was top notch—truly exceptional! All I can say is wow. We had such an amazing experience that I’m contemplating going back before leaving town. Highly recommend! Michael and Hunter - two of the best at their craft. Attentive, polished, humorous!

    Everything was exceptional from the salads to the meuniere almondine (drum) to the lamb chops. Tiramisu was a light and beautifully done dessert and the lattes were wonderful. Highly recommend this Italian trattoria.
