    The overall vibe with the piano bar was great! We ordered escargot and it’s a large dish with a delicious sauce. Italian is a reach, it’s more creole.

    We saved this for our last night in the city and are glad we did. The service and ambience were unmatched, and we will definitely come back the next time we are here. David was exceptional, though he oversold us on dessert because we certainly did not need two of them. I'm not sure which of the two was better tho so no hard feelings.

    A true culinary experience. The food, service and mood is unmatched. This is one of the best Italian restaurants in the country right here in the French Quarter New Orleans.

    We were seated in a small room with a party of 6. And a party of two. Loud and boisterous. The men apologized to us all as they left. We were going to stay and have dessert. However, a new table was set for 8 people. Not what I expected at Irene's. We won't be back!

    This place was wonderful. We ordered a few appetizers from the menu, including the Oysters Irene, which were great. We definitely recommend checking out the daily specials, which today included lamb with risotto and a filet mignon with mushrooms and a side of potatos au gratin that was absolutely amazing.

    Of all the restaurants in New Orleans, the only standing reservation we have is at Irene's for at least once a month. One of the best New Orleans dining experiences available. The space is beautiful, the food is exceptional, and the service is spot on every time. You cannot go wrong enjoying Irene's!
