    Make Irene’s your “go to” place… Irene’s is a “have to” every time we’re in New Orleans. The wines are inspired, the local flair is ever present in the menu… and the fresh fish is out of this world… and the team takes care to make your experience memorable.

    We had an excellent waiter Sean who made the experience very enjoyable. The ambiance of this deceptively large restaurant is delightful. The food was very good. We had the soups of the day as well as fish and chicken. The red velvet cake was the perfect finish - light yet rewarding. Booze prices were relatively reasonable. Would go again.

    Magic vibe at Irene’s. Hard to not have a delightful time. The soft shell crab and Italian wedding soup were excellent. Can’t go wrong on the desserts. Even loved the music. Perfect date spot. Love Irene’s!
