Very charming West Village restaurant with superior food and ambiance. Highly recommended. It was nice to have a choice of breakfast or lunch at a 12noon reservation. Will be back for sure!

Chelsea
About the restaurant
Marsanne is a sophisticated Mediterranean oasis.
The executive Chef Zivko Radojicic wanted to bring the warmth and hospitality of the Adriatic Mediterranean coast to the vibrant Chelsea neighborhood.
Our semi-private dining space “Le Mascaret Room” has its own dedicated drinks counter, as well a custom-made undulating wooden sculpture mounted on a wall (it's meant to replicate twisting vines and flowing waves, natch) and a glass-encased wine cellar holding over 700 bottles. It can accommodate up to 50 guests seated.

Our delicious octopus appetizer was prepared perfectly. We both ordered the sole stuffed with crab meat & veggies, and mushroom risotto, which was the dinner special. It was seasoned & cooked well. The prosecco was good. We enjoyed our meal & the music in a gorgeous expansive space. Our server was attentive & kind. Highly recommend.

Midtown West
About the restaurant
Iris is named for the celebrated Mediterranean flower, and as a gentle nod to the “Evil Eye”, a regional legend known to ward off evil and bring great luck. Located in an iconic building of Midtown Manhattan, Iris is a restaurant that aims to showcase the best preparations of the Eastern Mediterranean region. The ambition behind this culinary initiative is to focus on the style of eating rather than the provenance of each dish. Approachable, wholesome and minimally manipulated, the cuisine will show another facet of the ingredient-forward cuisine that has built John Fraser’s reputation.

We look forward to welcoming you at IRIS.

My husband and I live near Iris, and it is our favorite place in our neighborhood. The food is excellent, the service is outstanding, the ambience is ideal. The dining room is sleek, but not loud. Iris is a hidden gem near the theater district with its very non-touristy atmosphere. We especially like the bronzino and the Greek salad. The pita is delicious—puffy and warm, right out of the oven. And the flat bread is delicious—the clam flat bread is our favorite. The servers are very professional, yet warm and welcoming. We highly recommend Iris!
