Iris

We ate at Iris over the weekend and had an amazing experience! The food was fabulous and our server was amazing! He was very welcoming and helpful with the menu. He also did a great job of being aware of my nut allergy and made a point to make sure the kitchen staff members were aware. I was very impressed with his attentiveness! As a party of 8, our appetizers and meals came out in a timely manner and everything was cooked to perfection. I had the “In a Pickle” cocktail and loved it! For dinner, I ordered the filet and it was super flavorful and perfectly cooked. The restaurant has such an amazing vibe! We were in a private room, and the chef even came by to welcome us and introduce himself. Loved our experience! I highly recommend Iris, and look forward to dining here again soon!

This is my new favorite Memphis restaurant! The cocktail I had, On the Boulevardier, was complex and not too sweet. The soup of the day, pureed apple and carrot with gouda, was the best soup I've ever had. The scallops were perfectly cooked and paired with a subtle leek fondue. And the coffee creme brulee had just enough coffee flavor while still letting the custard shine through. Service was consistently prompt and polite despite a busy evening, the ambiance was great, and it was quiet enough to easily carry a conversation. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough!

Restaurant Iris was overpriced for the quality of food served. The dishes were bland and underwhelming, and the online menu did not match the in-house menu. Several items shown online were unavailable; our waitress stated they were lunch-only items, which was not indicated beforehand. The vanilla chicken entrée was particularly disappointing. I made reservations for a birthday dinner, but the experience was overshadowed by the restaurant being packed with extremely loud Ole Miss fans due to a game. This should have been disclosed at the time the reservation was made.

The appetizers were fine, nothing extraordinary, however the main courses were excellent. The cocktails were also excellent, service was impecable. Highly recommend restaurant.

We visited for our wedding anniversary and were thoroughly impressed by both the ambiance and the food. The cocktails were expertly crafted, though I feel the presentation could be enhanced considering they are priced at $16-$18. The chocolate pie was outstanding; it had the perfect balance of sweetness and was the best I've ever had. My husband was delighted with his steak, praising its excellent cooking and seasoning. My fish dish was equally well-prepared and seasoned. We appreciated the thoughtful gesture of receiving a complimentary brownie dessert and flowers for our anniversary. My husband chose this place because my name is "Iris," and I'm really glad he did. It was a truly memorable experience for us.
