Why go

IRIS is a $$$ Mediterranean restaurant with a 4.4 Google rating across 299 reviews. Reviewers describe the ambience as classy, pleasant, minimalist, and tasteful, with service ranging from top notch to uneven depending on the visit. Reviewers call out the whipped feta, pita, fries, half roasted chicken, and cucumber limeade.

Blackbird data adds a popularity signal: 1,872 on-chain check-ins all-time, with activity strongest on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
