    Very nice restaurant and the food was excellent, the service on the other hand was very poor. Our server Michael spent way too much time pandering to a table that was 2 down from ours, in the hour we spent at Irene’s he spent about half of it talking to this 4 top and another 10 mins talking to the table next to us. We were greeted quickly and seated immediately, it took Michael 10 mins to acknowledge our presence and only after we had been served water by a completely different server. When he finally came over we ordered drinks but were not told about any of the specials. Fearing that we would be waiting again we ordered our food when he returned with our drinks, my wife was offered a salad but I was not. We never saw Michael again until we asked him for check.

    Fabulous dining experience. The food was terrific, the service was top notch. Actually, the service was the best we have received in a number of years. Everything was perfect. It was so good, we went again the following night.
