Iris Restaurant

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Mediterranean Table on Broadway

Iris Restaurant sits at 1740 Broadway in Midtown Manhattan, bringing Mediterranean cuisine to one of New York City's most storied corridors. The address alone places it at the intersection of ambition and accessibility — steps from the energy of Columbus Circle and the cultural pulse of the Upper West Side.

Recognized for Its Wine Program

Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly. Earning that distinction in 2024 signals a wine list of genuine depth and curation — one that goes beyond the expected to offer bottles that genuinely complement a Mediterranean table. For guests who take wine seriously, this recognition is a reliable signal that the cellar at Iris has been built with care and intention.

Mediterranean in the Heart of New York

Mediterranean cuisine, at its best, is about restraint and quality — letting honest ingredients speak clearly. At Iris, that tradition finds a home in Midtown, where lunch and dinner service give the restaurant a rhythm suited to both the business crowd and the leisure diner. Whether you're stopping in midday or settling in for an evening meal, the kitchen's Mediterranean focus provides a coherent and satisfying through-line.
