Iris

The sleek interiors of this Midtown oasis transport you to the breezy Mediterranean, as does chef John Fraser's inventive Aegean-inspired dishes. At Iris, you'll find upscale Greek and Turkish cuisine, minimalist banquettes, and blond wood galore. It's ideal for an actually chic pre-theater dinner, power lunch, or date night, and you'll have no complaints simply sitting at the bar for Happy Hour with a Greek Negroni or Tsipouro Sour.
