    Fabulous dining experience. The food was terrific, the service was top notch. Actually, the service was the best we have received in a number of years. Everything was perfect. It was so good, we went again the following night.

    Oh Irene’s…after 7 years since our last visit you did not disappoint. Still the best meatballs in the whole wide world. If only I could ship a crate of them to my house! Shrimp and Crawfish fettuccine is fabulous as is the lasagna and lamp chop dish. We had a reservation for the night of our arrival and loved everything so much we came back the next night. Wonderful service too, thank you David and team. Looking forward to planning our next trip back to Irene’s. If you have not been here before, you must go.

    Menu was slightly limited, but everything was outstanding from the service, cocktails, ambience, and of course the food. I can’t recommend highly enough.

    This is our second time at Irene’s and it doesn’t disappoint! Excellent service every time. This time we were taken care of by the amazing Brandon. You can tell he enjoys his craft and dealing with people. His description of the culinary options was nothing short of artistic. He made great recommendations and gave us excellent service and a fun time!!! The food was excellent as always. I had one of the specials, a whole fried moon fish that was flaky and very tasty, without having to add anything, not even lemon. The ambience in this place is incredible with old fashioned tunes like Sinatra playing in the background at all times, at just the right volume! Enjoy!!!
