Has anybody been to this new spot...the old Iris location on Jeanette St. It is the guys that have the Purple Que Crawl Truck. It was out of this world GOOD!!! The menu is considerably more ambitious than the truck, and they encourage you to bring in wine with no corkage. I can't recommend this place enough.......GO RIGHT NOW

So what did you have?

I'll be in the neighborhood tomorrow, so I just might give it a try!

This might sound strange, but I have to meet with clients after lunch, so I'd like to know if there is a heavy food smell in the air.

Are they open for lunch does anyone know? Thanks.

Sorry for not getting back sooner. I've had a funeral in my family. We both started with a curried squash soup with candied pecans that was outstanding. Then I went with a rather strange preparation of mussels. They were prepared with collard greens in the broth. I know how strange it sounds, but it was really good, good enough to request more bread to get up all the liquid, so hey! And the fries were pretty much perfect. slender and double cooked with a little sprinkle of parmesan. My friend had the braised pork belly, small portion, but incredibly flavourful.
The menu was really interesting. Unfortunatly, they were out of both duck offerings. I am really looking forward to having the duck confit poboy next time I'm there. The smoked brisket and the pulled pork are things I've seen on the truck, as were the boudin balls.
Half the menu is made up of small plates (yea) with the other half being traditional entres.....with 3 poboys thrown in for good measure.
They said they welcome bringing your own wine with no corcage...and believe me, this food deserves a good bottle (or 2). So as I said before, get in the door and get your face known early...........

Group: I had an early lunch at this spot today. Short answer: Go There. Now.

It was just me so only three dishes to discuss.

First. Blackened Shrimp with Grit cakes and bacon jus. The waitress also suggested using some of the house made pepper vinegar which sits on each table. She was right. The vinegar gave it the "tangyness" it needed. The bit of bacon in the jus was a little smokey. The grit cakes were browned well. The shrimp wasn't overcooked. This dish looked really good on rdpeyton's blog. It was as good as he suggested.

Next I ordered the duck confit po-boy with pickled carrots and candied pecans. It was great. The carrots were cut in long thin strips lengthwise and the duck was shredded nicely. The pecans didn't seem to effect the dish much one way or the other. The duck was moist, tender and had good flavor.

They sold me, at their suggestion, a half order of the house cut garlic parmesan (sp??) fries with my sandwich. They were good and had lots of fresh shredded parm on them.

All of this: 23.00 with an iced tea, which they kept filled regularly, before tip.

I'll be going back, more than once.

What are their hours? Somewhere I got the impression they were open for breakfast and lunch but when I passed by this morning around 9a.m. on the way back from the farmer's market, it looked like it was closed.

Thanks EC for the hours. I tried going twice to find them closed.
Would have tried again today! Oh well.
