Lonely Planet review for Restaurant Iris
Chef Kelly English richly deserved his Food & Wine Magazine 2009 Best New Chef award. Since opening Iris in 2008, his avant-garde Creole menu has been sending foodies into paroxysms of delight with playful entries like a 'ham and cheese' of fried Camembert and tête de cochon (roast pig head). The setting, in a green cottage on a residential Midtown block, is so low-profile it feels like a speakeasy.
