About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Good for business meals
Neighborhood gem

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.

It’s so wonderful to find a quality venue NEAR Times Square but not IN Times Square. Flavorful food, top service, beautiful decor, and a thoughtful ambiance. Highly recommend.

Iris, has been one of the best restaurants I have tried. This was my second time eating there and this time I brought my family to enjoy the food and ambience for Easter Sunday. The drinks are also great.

Delightful, as always, in one of the most attractive dining rooms in midtown Manhattan, Iris buzzes with an infectious energy. So many happy people conversing and eating such delicious food, and what a beverage list, and all of it served by such a polished and convivial staff of professionals. Brava and bravo to everyone involved with the ongoing blossoming of Iris.

Fantastic pre theatre experience before we had to head to a show at Carnegie. They did a great job with timing and the pre-theatre prix fixe had great options

The food at Iris is absolutely outstanding! The appetizer platter with homemade sourdough pita, dips and stuffed grape leaves is delicious and we could have just had that as our meal. But we had to make room for the delicious branzino, swordfish and moussaka we ordered and everything was just so good. Our server was warm and friendly and devoted to making our experience a good one. Iris never disappoints and we will return whenever we're in town.
