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.

    My wife and I went to Iris to celebrate Valentine's day and we couldn't have been happier about the experience. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. We will be back to try the short rib, as it was sold out. We had the short rib agnolotti instead which was to die for. We also had the assorted dips appetizer - best tzatziki and babaganoush we have ever had!

    I haven’t had a 10/10 meal in a while. Every single thing was so delicious. Cute ambiance too.

    The food was average, and the location was nothing special. Overall, it wasn't worth the price.

    The wait staff was very kind and helpful. The food was delicious. the only negative was trying to read the menu because of the lighting. Maybe the print on the menu should be bolder. But the hummus was the best I have ever had!

    Ideally located near NY City Center and Carnegie Hall. Great for a pre theater dinner. We triedthe Restaurant week menu (with supplements). Waitstaff planned well so we would be finished with dinner in a timely manner.
