Amazing experience and delicious food! Everything looked delicious on the menu, but I settled for the filet mignon. I was not disappointed. We had the bottomless mimosas. The wait staff was very attentive and the jazz band played a personal selection at our table. Highly recommended!

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!!!
