My experience at Restaurant Iris was definitely one to remember! The food was amazing! So flavorful and well prepared! The service was impeccable with multiple people checking on us and food/drinks coming out in a timely manner! I was also in awe of the design of this restaurant! The colors, table settings, and furniture seemed to be well thought out and added to the fine dining experience! There is a skylight in the dining area that creates this beautiful natural lighting, not letting you miss a moment of the sunset! I will definitely be back again for the food and ambiance! My only critique would be for the braised collard greens. They came with pickled peaches, and I could taste the peaches. They made the greens sweet too and I don’t personally care for sweet greens. Even with that it was a great experience, and I recommend it!

We celebrated our wedding anniversary and the food and service were great. They did not have the raw bar available during our visit but the Crab Au Gratin was amazing. Both the Steak Iris and Grilled Beef Tenderloin were cooked perfectly. This is definitely on our list of places to go and definitely recommend.

Loved the classy vibe in here! Everything we ordered was delicious. We started with the scallops which did not disappoint. I ordered the duck leg and he ordered the pork tenderloin. We had brussel sprouts on the side. Everything was cooked perfectly. My duck leg paired perfectly with the tart peaches and greens. The brussel sprouts were delicious, but I wouldn’t recommend getting them along side what I had since they have a balsamic based dressing on them (too much acid). We wanted dessert but didn’t have the room for it. Hope to come back some day!

One of the top dining spots in Memphis! Let’s start by saying call and request Constance with your reservation, she’s the literal best in town hands down. We started with a rum punch bowl, a great centerpiece! All of the food was top notch. We had a table of 6 so ordered a spread of salads, sides and desserts. The salads were divine, the sides spot on and the chocolate dessert was our favorite. The 20 year port was one of the best I’ve had. All of the meals received rave reviews – the pork cheeks were the surprise favorite. All in all just a killer experience. Highly recommend!

Giving it 5 stars because that’s what it deserves! My friends and I came for dinner a couple of weeks ago and I can honestly say we didn’t have any complaints, no suggestions, no “they should do this”…nothing! (And this is a group of food bloggers so that should tell you something lol)

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and it was absolutely perfect. Everything was delicious, wonderful service, and a nice atmosphere. The newly designed space features excellent noise dampening so you can actually hear conversation at your own dinner table – I wish more restaurants were like that! I had the flounder and it was out of this world. Perfect texture, melt in your mouth, absolutely stunning. Drinks were amazing too. For a special occasion I can’t recommend this place enough!

It was our first time at Restaurant Iris, and we will be back. Morgan did an excellent job. Never rushed us but was always available if we needed anything. She was very helpful on the recommendations. My wife is GF and was pleasantly surprised by how many options she had to choose from.

Lighting perfect- darker at Bar, brighter at tables. I sat at the bar and for the first time ever- it was comfortable and spacious(nice granite). I ordered 2 appetizers, salad, tenderloin with mash, and 2 desserts. There were no disappointments. The Laurelwood salad- should be for two, the crab au gratin- perfectly cook (not too dry or wet). Boudin Balls (3) with a great creamy sauce- great. Wine selection phenomenal. Desserts perfect size and heavenly. SINCE they want to play with the big boys I will say- med rare was closer to rare for me- it was a warm center but couple degrees on the sous vide would of been perfect. Service was best in Memphis I’ve experienced. Worth every penny.

The new location is beautiful and arranged so that while it’s a lot of space, each area still feels cozy and comfortable. We’ve been eating at the bar a bit lately and it’s been great each time. The food is excellent (omg shrimp toast & bronzed tuna), but what makes it really special is the team. Excellent service, great suggestions, pros who know their stuff. Every encounter with the folks working the bar just makes our evening next level. Kudos!
