    The food was amazing including soft shell crab and great Italian specialties. Meatballs in red gravy is a fantastic appetizer. There’s live piano music in the bar. This place never disappoints. As a local, it’s one of my favorites in New Orleans.

    An hour before this meal, we made friends at the pool hotel who told us about this place. We could not be more grateful-Irene’s was AMAZING! Food and drinks were delicious. David, our server, was so nice, attentive and easy to talk to. Any other worker we went past was polite and welcoming. Would totally go again. The building is also gorgeous and got to see in the room with all the windows-wonderful room. Highly recommend.
