Irie was great! Went with my family for dinner around 5 PM. Place wasn’t too crowded, we had beautiful natural light, fun but not too loud music. Food was delicious and our server was super chill and able to answer my family’s questions about the menu. Would be down to go back when they have live music for a fun happy hour!
