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.

    The staff was lovely and helpful. The food was overpriced and not that tasty. They serve their hummus with rye “crisps” which are just rye flour and water rolled out thin and baked. Hard and tasteless. The carrot tartare was interesting but too much chili oil. Greek salad was great.

    Everything about our meal was terrific including the host who was kind enough to find us two seats at the bar while we waited for a booth and then advised us when our table was ready and carried our drinks over for us. Our server (Erik) was wonderful, made us feel right at home. The food was excellent, specially the whipped feta and pita appetizer.

    We had been to another restaurant of Chef John Fraser named La Marchand and the food and atmosphere were worthy. Today we decided to try Iris as a post theater dinner. It did not disappoint! Our waitress Alicia B was possibly one of the best, knowledgeable of food & wine, attentive, and so personable. She made our experience above bar! I highly recommend! Excellent Aegean Cuisine. 🧿

    A favorite of ours on the West Side. Food is consistently very good, and wines are excellent without being overpriced. Bar drinks are on the pricey side ($20+), so consider alternatives (right down W. 55th) for a pre-dinner libation.

    Dined here after a noon matinee. Food was delicious but pricey for portion size. Tuna tartare was served without any bread or crackers. Service was excellent.
