About

Set against the backdrop of the North Carolina Museum of Art, Iris offers a delightful blend of American and Irish cuisines in an inviting, upmarket setting. With a cozy yet trendy atmosphere, it's perfect for a romantic dinner or a leisurely brunch. Guests rave about the exceptional food and attentive service, although past events have seen mixed reviews in staffing consistency. Be sure to try the caramel-topped bourbon custard for dessert before exploring the museum's stunning galleries. Reservations are recommended!

Review by Eve Gerhold

September 10, 2024

Iris offers a delightful dining experience nestled in the North Carolina Museum of Art! The cosy and swanky atmosphere sets the perfect backdrop for a lovely meal.

I highly recommend the caramel-topped bourbon custard for dessert - it’s a divine treat! 🥄 The service was personable, and reserving a table was a smooth process.

After your meal, take a leisurely stroll through the museum grounds. It’s a fantastic way to wrap up your visit! Overall, a great spot for a special occasion or a casual lunch. 🌟
