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.

Iris delights with its "amazing food" and "impeccable service," offering a perfect pre-theater dining experience. The Mediterranean menu is "creative," with standout dishes like lamb chops and octopus. The "charming staff" ensures a warm atmosphere, and the cocktails are "to die for." Ideal for both casual and special occasions.

Outstanding! A gem in the noisy bustle of Manhattan this now becomes our go to pre-theatre dinner when in New York. We loved every morsel. The Turkish flavors were so interesting and the meat and seafood exquisitely tender. We’ll be back!

Great server, who was not only detail-oriented but also very friendly with some casual chats. The food was solid. Loved the whipped feta with pillowy pita and the lamb pita that was served with hummus, labneh, salad and amazingly crispy fries (highlight!).

My friends and I went to Iris after a show. There were (6) of us ladies. It is a lovely place with excellent service and food. We started with the hummus, olives, tzatziki sauce, stuffed grape leaves, pita bread appetizer. We ordered extra bread but the accouterments were more than enough to share It was amazing, the bread was so light and delicious, couldn't get enough. Then we had the winter salad. Crisp, fresh, lightly dressed (hate when they over dress a salad) and enough that we all shared it. I had the branzino for dinner, and once again, no disappointment there. It was one of the best cooked fish I have had. No one had a negative thing to say about their meal-everyone loved their food. This is definitely a place I will be going back to!

Great food as always, fabulous ambience and cannot miss octopus. If you’re having a dry January; don’t fret. The warm sorrel drink and phony Negroni will make you want to continue to have a dry February!

The food is fantastic as are the drinks. While the decor is minimal, the space is luxurious and tables and booths are well spaced . The music on a recent visit was not as good as it has been in the past.
