Creole restaurant
I loved the classy and calm atmosphere of this place.It's so inviting and calming.The green beans were surprisingly delicious, with the right amount of garlic flavor. Will definitely be back for more.It's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy some me-time, maybe with a glass of wine.Highly recommend!
My experience at Restaurant Iris was definitely one to remember! The food was amazing! So flavorful and well prepared! The service was impeccable with multiple people checking on us and food/drinks coming out in a timely manner! I was also in awe of the design of this restaurant! The colors, table settings, and furniture seemed to be well thought out and added to the fine dining experience! There is a skylight in the dining area that creates this beautiful natural lighting, not letting you miss a moment of the sunset! I will definitely be back again for the food and ambiance! My only critique would be for the braised collard greens.They came with pickled peaches, and I could taste the peaches.They made the greens sweet too and I don't personally care for sweet greens.Even with that it was a great experience, and I recommend it!

Ms.Trenika, thank you so much for dining with us at Iris! We can't wait to serve you again.
Excellent dining experience. I recently revisited Iris for a friend’s birthday lunch after a recommendation to give it another go.Chef Kelly English was present and the culinary Renaissance was literally palpable. We ordered the fried green tomatoes and the crawfish sauce was rich and wonderful.The East Texas Tender Salad was a real surprise and truly unforgettable as I have since thought about this just-hot-enough delightful salad multiple times since.And the short-rib beef stroganoff was a deliciously elevated take. The cocktails were delectable and well executed.I had the Cat In The Rain; It was beautiful, sweet, and exactly what I wanted.My friend had the O-Ren Ishii, a sake cocktail, which she enjoyed as well. If it has been a while or if you haven’t been since the first reopening I’d say for sure go again.I certainly will.
