Me and my wife celebrated our anniversary here. It was our fist time dinning there, and I was not impressed. I chose this location instead of Ruth Chris after viewing them online. I ordered the beet salad, and the ten ounce beef tenderloin withasparagus instead of potatoes. My wife ordered red fish and roasted cauliflower. The beet salad dressing was extremely sourer,the cauliflower was extremely sweet and I was only served four very small asparagus. The steak was delicious and cooked toperfection. Need to consider a better salad dressing for the beet salad and address the portion size of the asparagus. Also,the sugar content needs to be removed from the cauliflower dish. Due to the delicious and well prepared beef tenderloin I wouldrecommend and return.
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. TheLaurelwood salad- should be for two, the crab au gratin- perfectly cook (not too dry or wet). Boudin Balls (3) with a greatcreamy sauce- great. Wine selection phenomenal. Desserts perfect size and heavenly. SINCE they want to play with the big boys Iwill 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.
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 owndinner table I wish more restaurants were like that! I had the flounder and it was out of this world. Perfect texture, melt inyour mouth, absolutely stunning. Drinks were amazing too. For a special occasion I can?t recommend this place enough!
Everything was perfect, from the service to the food. The interior of the restaurant is stunning as well. I will definitely be back again. The salmon was absolutely delicious!

Best dinner I had in Memphis. They overcooked my pork chop, but even that was still really delicious. I was totally astonished by some serious cooking there.
Perhaps the best meal we had in Memphis. Iris is a small place set in a residential house. The food was fantastic, the cocktails were quite good, and the service was friendly.
Great atmosphere and personal. my venison was delicious. also beef tenderloin was very good. I cannot recommend the desserts. they were nothing special and the price tag was not worth it at all. the actual eating? amazing.
The restaurant has an intimate atmosphere, offering delicious food and attentive service. Definitely worth the price!
Intimate! Amazing! The list could go on forever. I loved everything about this place. Wine was recommended by the waitress, who was also superb and it paired perfectly with our dinner.
