   We had a wonderful experience at Irene's! I made reservations a few weeks ahead of time after reading reviews. Our waiter Michael was friendly and answered all our questions about the menu. I loved the escargot and ended up getting the special of the night, a buttery steak worth every penny. Everything was top notch and there was an elegant yet lighthearted atmosphere in the restaurant. We will definitely be returning while visiting New Orleans!

   We sat on the back patio, which was charming and quiet. Our server, Demetry, was super attentive and helpful. Drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desert, all outstanding. Our first night in the Quarter, and it was perfect.

    Amazing experience! Service was impeccable. The food was beyond compare. Escargot, perfect layering of flavors. Craft cocktails made with attention to detail. Entree’s came out hot & fresh. My steak was over cooked & before I could even say anything the waiter said “oh, let me fix that for you”. New remade dishes came out for my wife & I. This time it was absolutely perfect! Flavors were on point, melt in your mouth. Ambiance was like an oasis in the chaos of the streets around. Deserts were melt in your mouth heavenly! Do not miss this dining experience.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    This was hands down the best restaurant I ate at in New Orleans and best lamb chops I’ve had in my life. Everything was so amazing I came back the very next night. Stacie was the best server and had so many historical fact about the owner and where the restaurant was located in the French Quarter. Definitely will be coming back every time I’m passing through NOLA.

    I've been going to Irene's for over a decade and it just gets better everytime. We ask for our server everytime,David, who is beyond professional and so personable. Then there's the food... amazing. Everything comes out hot and done to perfection. I swear you don't need a knife to cut the steak! Now as the steak is melting in your mouth , you take a sip of the amazing wine that David has recommended. The wine list is extensive so you can find exactly what you want. Irene's just does it right. A must if you're in New Orleans

    We were in town for our anniversary and made reservations to eat at Irene’s. We’ve always had a great experience there and the food is delicious. This was the first time we sat outside and we loved it. It’s nice and quiet out there, the area is beautiful and the weather was great. My husband and I both had the duck, it’s our favorite dish on the menu. We also tried the lump crab gratin and the bruschetta is always good. Our server was very knowledgeable and super attentive. We will be back!

    Best restaurant in New Orleans! We had the antipasto delicious! We had watermelon salad and bib salad both equally delicious. We had the filet it was so good. We did not have room for dessert. Our server Paul was excellent. If we ever travel back to New Orleans this will be our go to restaurant.

    Our dinner and our whole experience was outstanding. The food, wine, and our waiter Dave was wonderful. The servers and waitstaff were friendly and offered suggestions that were right-on. We had the best time celebrating. When it started pouring rain when we were ready to leave, Michael called us a taxi- repeatedly (didn’t ever come🙄) and then helped us learn to use Uber which worked perfectly.

    Everything was good food excellent waitress was well informed and hospitable only one issue was my wife needed to use the ladies room the one near us was occupied for a bit and she asked to use the one in back and she was told she couldn't use it because she was seated up front the host was a bit rude about it she ended up just walking past him and using it but it shouldn't have been a problem in the first place other than that it was good

    Irene’s our top choice for dining when in New Orleans. Had a couple of surgeries there recently and made reservations at Irene’s the night before each because I knew we wouldn’t be getting out much after. All I could remember from five years ago was how delicious the Rosemary Chicken was, tender and moist, baked with roasted potatoes and garlic. A true comfort food. Both times I ended up getting a special they were having that day instead of the Rosemary Chicken. I loved the specials, one was a fish (not the whole Red fish) and the next time was a chicken dish with spinach. Both were wonderful but I was still craving that Rosemary Chicken. So the night before we are to travel back home, I made reservations and got ready to have my cravings satisfied. Let me say, I had four drains with tubes to cover and wasn’t but 6 days post op so I was really making an effort. First they sat us in the front in the far corner. That really didn’t bother me but the speaker for the entire room was directly over my head. We were practically yelling at each other to have any conversations. After complaining, the waiter tried to turn it down and it helped. The food: the tomato toast was great, the bread we had failed to get the past two times, melted in your mouth. I had the watermelon salad special and it was great but don’t think it was anymore than 3 cubes of watermelon and some spices, olive oil, and balsamic. Then it’s time for my fall apart, melt in you mouth chicken. To my absolute shock I couldn’t find one piece that was remotely penetratable with my fork. Most pieces were so dry, I couldn’t even chew them and spit several mouthfuls out or I will still be chewing. I tried running the most moist pieces around in the juice, still just as dry. I probably ate 3-4 bites and shared some steak with my husband. I hate to complain so I told the waiter to box it up. We gave it to a homeless person. But I really hate to say but our Irene days are over.
