    Hunter, our waiter was fantastic! The oyster bisque (special) was spectacular! Kudos to our Uber driver Manuel for the recommendation.

    Another fantastic evening at Irene’s! This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. Both of us chose options from the nightly specials. We started with soft shell crab, lightly battered and fried. It’s was very light and flavorful. Next I had a roasted beet and goat cheese salad with Mandarin oranges. It was heavenly. Hubby enjoyed a Winter Capresse. The tomatoes were roasted, then chilled. Fresh pesto and pine nuts topped the mozzarella and tomatoes. For main, the Redfish was flavorful and moist. We sat in the piano bar and the music made the evening very special. The meal was kind of pricey but worth every cent.

    Our best restaurant experience in French Quarter for this 3-night visit. Waiter Paul was superb explaining off menu options, several that we tried. All were excellent. The Piano player was able to find, play, and sing our favorite song, Second Time Around by Frank Sinatra. Thanks so much!

    Fantastic experience! We were very well taken care of by our waiter AJ. The food was absolutely delicious! Highlights were the crabmeat gratin, oysters Rockefeller soup, and bananas foster bread pudding. The house Sangiovese was exceptional. Very cozy atmosphere. The only negative was the loud piano music (which was very good, just too loud). Definitely recommend!

    Out waiter Giovanni was great ! Suggesting his favorites which became ours. So personable and kind. I don’t know why we don’t go more often Just a little taken aback about how many people dressed inappropriately. Not my problem.
