About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Good for business meals

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.

Delightful, as always, in one of the most attractive dining rooms in midtown Manhattan, Iris buzzes with an infectious energy. So many happy people conversing and eating such delicious food, and what a beverage list, and all of it served by such a polished and convivial staff of professionals. Brava and bravo to everyone involved with the ongoing blossoming of Iris.

Fantastic pre theatre experience before we had to head to a show at Carnegie. They did a great job with timing and the pre-theatre prix fixe had great options

The food at Iris is absolutely outstanding! The appetizer platter with homemade sourdough pita, dips and stuffed grape leaves is delicious and we could have just had that as our meal. But we had to make room for the delicious branzino, swordfish and moussaka we ordered and everything was just so good. Our server was warm and friendly and devoted to making our experience a good one. Iris never disappoints and we will return whenever we're in town.

This was probably the worst start to finish lunch experience in the city I’ve had. They don’t answer their reservation email and our server was terrible and rude. It took an hour to get a tiny salad. Slow and poorly managed
