    Loved this place. Cute entrance in an alley way. Great ambiance and service. Reasonably priced for a city joint. Food was good. Almost homey/comfort level. Would definitely recommend

    The food nor service lived up to the hype. It is obvious that it is a beloved institution, just wish the food was up to New Orleans standards. It wasn't terrible just forgettable. The wine selection was very nice.

    We really enjoyed the hospitality and wonderful service. The food was excellent from the antipasti to the desert.  The dining experience made our evening very special. Will definitely be coming back on our next visit to New Orleans.

    I’ve only been to Irene’s a few times, but it exceeds my expectations every time! Our waiter, I think his name was Sean, was fantastic. He gave the most amazing wine and dinner recommendations. In fact, the entire staff was the best!
