    This is a hidden gem. The food was delicious and came out hot also, no long wait which is a plus. The ambiance was great. My only feedback is I'm a water drinker and the little bottle of water was not enough I had to ask for a second bottle. I would definitely recommend this place.

    I’ve been coming to Irie since last year & it’s always been a great vibe! The Ugly Sweater party was so much fun & a good time was had as usual!

    I had an amazing experience! The service was top-notch, attentive, and friendly. The food and drinks were delicious, with a great selection to choose from. But what really stood out was the atmosphere - good vibes all around! And a special shoutout to the jerk wings... they were SUPERB! Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. I'd highly recommend them! Overall, I'd definitely be back for more. Great job, team!

    It was terrible. It was never told to me that if one person doesn’t want bottomless noodles one can get it. They make you pay a $25 reservation fee per person. We had a party of 3. Two people in my party didn’t want bottomless so they told me that I couldn’t have it. We ordered our meals. They didn’t come up to the $75 deposit. We were told that you can’t get refunded the difference. We had to buy 2 drinks cause of the 18% that automatically gets added to the bill. Our initial bill came to $63. I was forced to spend $15 over the $75 . I was forced to $90 dollars. The server spilled water on my girlfriend while dropping and breaking a glass right next to her feet. I’ll never go back

    This place advertises for hookah that they don’t have. I came for happy hour and was told there was not hookah anymore even though it’s advertised as so. I booked for a special occasion but was unable to do karaoke due to the the karaoke lady declining every single song I picked. She said the songs had to be family friendly. The song I picked were all sza songs, the weekend, snooze and happy days. She said those songs were inappropriate for a family setting although I didn’t see any kids in sight and was served alcohol. Me and my table then watch several people perform songs with profanity as our songs continued to get denied. I at that point spoke with the manager about the issue but he ignored me and walked away during the conversation. This was my second time here and completely different from the first time ! I would not come back here but I would for sure order out because the food was the best thing !!

    From the moment we walk in our server seemed very agitated. There was a piece of red hair in our macaroni and cheese . The hair was looped through noodles cooked in ! My guest brought it to the host attention and he immediately picked the hair up , saw the noodle attached , and threw it inside of the Mac cast iron and took it away . Came back and asked if we wanted another one . Of course the answer was absolutely not . He them ask us if he can take our plates away . Plates that still had food on them as if now they were ready for us to leave . We explained we are still dining .The manager never came over to address the hair or even extend an apology for it . We are consumer and a little consideration or even the attempt to act like you cared that we were served Mac with hair would’ve went a long way. The manager stated “the waiter asked if you wanted another one . What else do you want “ . We were not looking for anything other than excellent customer service as the other items we purchased were delicious! BUT do the very unpleasant customer service and lack of accountability from management. This will indeed be my first and last time dining at this restaurant.
