Their passion for culinary innovation is very obvious. Highly recommend this experience. Both the tequila and rum flights are so worth it. Since we have been twice we have tried a few things and everything has been excellent. Bartender and staff know their stuff and give great suggestions. We have tried the platters and a torta and the meats on both where outstanding. The spoon bread and the sweet potato sides are a MUST, and the brownie dessert is definitely the best way to end the meal.

Went to Irene's late at night on a weekend with two friends. It was pretty packed for the time, but…read morewe still found a table quickly. The service was good and simple. You order at the counter, take a number to your table, and the rest is basically self service besides them bringing your food out. I ordered the grilled chicken thigh platter and was honestly really underwhelmed. The chicken barely had any flavor at all. The sauces they gave helped save the meal a little, but even then I still wasn't very happy with it. Now let me talk about the BBQ pulled pork nachos because those were amazing. You get the spice from the jalapeños, the crunch from the chips, the sweetness from the BBQ sauce, the creaminess from the nacho cheese, and the savory flavor from the pulled pork. Everything together was honestly a party in your mouth.

The Rice Noodled (japchae) had a robust flavor that my pallet could not place. I did not like them, but they had full flavor which I can appreciate. The complimentary Korean Pancakes were delish... do not be detoured by the rabbit food on the plate. The service was great once we figured it out. It is not an order at the counter establishment, although that was our feel when we walked in the door and the hostess/waitress/busboy/bartender was standing at the register talking to another guest who was seated at the bar having lunch. Overall this is a gem that could easily be overlooked in a series of brick faced strip malls in COMO.

The Menu is packed full of salivating descriptions. We will be back to try other items, despite my disappointment in the burger. My daughter loves the pulled pork sandwich on the gluten-free bun, and my wife enjoyed her chicken bacon club sandwich. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with onion rings. I find if a restaurant can get a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings right they're worth a second go. I read in the description of this restaurant that they have generous portions, I order onion rings at five onion rings, that's not generous in my book. The onion rings were greasy and clearly fried in the same oil that fish is fried in. My wife and I had completely opposite experiences with the bun, she said hers was light and fresh. Mine was cold and stale. The burger tasted as if it was a hard pressed frozen patty that have been microwaved. I'm sure it wasn't microwaved. It just had that dense bland flavor in texture. The environment was definitely family friendly, and our server "Emma" was very sweet. She was not overbearing, nor was she absent. Like I said, we will be back, but I won't order the burger and onion rings ever again.

I shared my food with her daughter, I felt ILL the next day- throwing up, nonstop diarrhea (Thank God I work from home), sweating and dizzy and her daughter had the some issues (just mild compare to mine since she didn't eat much as she felt the ribs were dry). I reached out to the owner, Gerald Nathan, and first he blamed covid (no I don't have covid, I even got tested as I assumed the same as first and also I am fully vaccinated), then he accuses my friend of POISONING me. I simply reached out to make him aware of the issue, and I understand I order when they were finally starting to shut down (I ordered round 7;30, they close at 8), and honestly things happen, and this was his response. this isn't a proper way to treat customers.
