A sophisticated atmosphere for exceptional food and service. Try the caramel-topped bourbon custard for dessert and visit the galleries and gift shop afterwards. A stroll through the museum grounds is fantastic on a nice day.
Great service, personable waitress. Recommend reservations, which went smoothly and professionally.
Very nice, swankey atmosphere.
Food is excellent. Pricey. Indoors only.
Great exhibit, very comfortable surroundings it was a great day trip. Souvenir Shop a bit pricey, but still a great time.
Very nice museum, dont come near closing time though or the guards will be on your butt from 20 minutes before closing till you leave.
I was not in Iris but I walked by while I was visiting the museum. It looked amazing. The piece of art on the wall is very impressive.
If you are looking for somewhere classy and innovative then look no further! Iris, dear restaurant attached to the North Carolina museum of art, is a beautiful atmosphere with swirling a sculpture on the walls and beautiful natural light. It does not feel overcrowded although there is enough space for a party of 16. All of the servers are very professional and helpful by guiding you on the menu. They have lots of options for people who are on special diet's, like folks who do not eat gluten or R vegan. It's nice to have an option after walking around the grounds or the museum itself to feed yourself or your family. The food is absolutely delicious and obviously crafted by someone with culinary Expertise. There are so many of flavors that go into each dish and they are plated beautiful I like the plates are pieces of art themselves. It is a great place to go for brunch on Saturday and Sunday, but I highly suggest you call and make a reservation or hold a table because it can get very busy. I give this place 5 stars and highly suggest it to anyone who is intrested and a lovely dining experience. The high ceilings really give the place an air of luxury and contribute to the culture that you might find in the Room. The options for drinks are wonderful and your server well pair them with your dish with ease. I enjoy that they have fresh juices and coffee options as well. Everything is so nice looking and a semi formal it is a great place to go on a date as well!
Portions are a bit larger than my family was able to handle but service, atmosphere, and taste were great!
The menu was not extensive, but each item on it was made with an unusual ingredient or two. We ordered the scallops and the open-face turkey sandwich and we split a butterscotch blondie for dessert. All three choices were absolutely delicious. In fact, we only ordered the dessert because the entrees were so good - we almost never order dessert but we just felt sure they must make great desserts too! And it was as good as anticipated.
Great food, ambiance, and service!
Delicious food! I felt very fancy dining at the museum! Not a huge menu but unique offerings. A little pricey so we don't eat there often. Definitely make reservations if you go - they are always busy.
