    Easily a New Orleans favorite! (Tied for our favorite in the city.) And that includes all the James Beard winners. Top tier food and experience.

    Outstanding, as always! From the moment you walk in, to the food and service, by Demetrius. Irene's is one of our two go to spots in the Quarter.

    Food was very good from the bruschetta starter, to my Caprese salad, different that I’d get up North but nicely prepared. I had the Cioppino which was outstanding. Sauce was very tasty and spicey. My wife had a well dressed Caesar salad maybe a bit too much but tasty. Her main course of crawfish and shrimp over fettuccine in a cream sauce was also delicious. They had several specials but we wanted the seafood dishes from the menu. Only gripe was that it was busy for a Tuesday night and we needed to eat later than we wanted at 8:45 or other option was 5:15.

    Our server Michael really made this experience what it was. This is a “institution” type restaurant, one with an excellent reputation and acts as an ambassador for the city. The tab will quickly add up but it was worth it to enjoy a great meal, in a lovely old school restaurant.
