About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Good for business meals

Iris is named for the celebrated Mediterranean flower, and as a gentle nod to the “Evil Eye”, a regional legend known to ward off evil and bring great luck. Located in an iconic building of Midtown Manhattan, Iris is a restaurant that aims to showcase the best preparations of the Eastern Mediterranean region. The ambition behind this culinary initiative is to focus on the style of eating rather than the provenance of each dish. Approachable, wholesome and minimally manipulated, the cuisine will show another facet of the ingredient-forward cuisine that has built John Fraser’s reputation.

We look forward to welcoming you at IRIS.

Good and service were exceptional. I did have a problem with cocktail pricing. There was a charge for martinis and margaritas in addition to the gin and tequila. Can't get either without! $23 for a modest size martini. Petty and a turnoff.

Food was tasty and interesting. Our waitress was inattentive, for example she brought our check before offering dessert or coffee. Strange but not up to their reputation for service

food and service were excellent. The ambience, however, felt a little sterile, but it was quiet.

The service at Iris is spectacular, from the moment you walk in the door, until you leave. We enjoyed delicious cocktails, excellent lamb flatbread, the best whipped feta, and eggplant dip. The pastitsio was served with a presentation and fabulous. The roasted pig was outstanding. Iris is a great choice for dining.

Food and service were excellent. We had some allergy issues that the server was extremely helpful responsive to. And the cosmopolitans were outstanding.
