Iris

The sleek interiors of this Midtown newcomer 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. And in the likely chance you'll have to wait for a table? You'll have no complaints sitting at the bar with a Greek Negroni or Tsipouro Sour.
