    We had 6p reservations for our 50th anniversary dinner and arrived early.. we decided to get a drink at the bar ( which was full and busy) took along time to be noticed by the busy bartenders and finally just before our dinner time got noticed and ordered our drinks. We were lead by our hostess June to a cosy booth and the table was decorated for our celebration dinner. We then were greeted by our server Sonya who was fun, efficient and attentive.. she and the “biscuit man”made our dinner even more enjoyable! Our first bite was the delicious tempura fins wing… this was followed by our entrees the Scalibut a GW Fins original .. this was superb!! And for my husband the American Red Fish, he wanted to lick his plate and my tasting bite made me envious even though my dish was so good! We finished our meal with the Salty Malty ice cream dessert.. we did lick the plate !! Best ever dessert!! And chef sent out two chocolate treats on a decorated plate!! All our choices were guided expertly by Sonja our knowledgeable and entertaining server! All in all it was a delightful celebration at an exceptional restaurant!!💕

    One of our favorite places to eat! Stone crabs were in season and that was also a treat! The steaks came out a bit early but they assisted us with warming them to perfection without overcooking them! The atmosphere was festive for the holidays and although we ate at a high top in the bar, it wasn’t a disappointment at all! The pianist played while we were there and overall made for a great evening!

    What can I say that hasn't been said. Irene's doesn't disappoint. Yes it's in the middle of the Quarter and I loved the old location, but the Bienville location is vibrant and old school while still having the charm of St. Phillip's St. The food was outstanding and the service was comfortable and professional and you feel like family. Kelli, our server, was fabulous and the whole staff seemed to be in great spirits as well. The ambiance was inviting and comforting and spectacular.

    Had a wonderful meal - took the fish recommendation from the server for the win - and the pork chop was great. Atmosphere was the most holiday cheer we have seen yet. Worth going to for dinner or even just a taste at the bar. Great stop!

    Domenica was recommended by friends of ours and it did not disappoint! Food was outstanding - black truffle pecorino romano, spaghetti carbonara (CRAZY good), a rabbit/pasta dish (can’t remember the name), topped off by a banana dessert. Every table was taken the entire time we were there on 12.18. Highly recommend you book a reservation. LOVED our server, Heather. A fun evening.
