Had dinner at Irene's last night. Had planned on having the soft shell crab but was not available. The waiter recommended their lasagna so as usual I will go with what a waiter recommends. The Lasagna was one of the best I have ever had. All was fresh including the noodles. They used cajun sausage that was not too over powering with fried egg plant slices on top. The egg plant slices were hot as was the lasagna. You could tell the egg plant slices were placed on top right from the fryer!

If you have never tried Irene's I highly recommend. It's like a neighborhood restaurant where you can tell they all enjoy working together and have for many years. The restaurant is a little worn with great food!

Glad you enjoyed it. I've only been there once, about 5-6 years ago, and I remember it was great.

When the wife and I get back home, we go go to many different restaurants. But the one we ALWAYS go to for that "special" evening is Irene's. Maybe it is just nostalgic for us, but the food is great, prices reasonable, waiters/staff knowledgeable and they treat you special. When we dine at finer establishments we don't like to be rushed so they can turn the table. Irene's has no problem with this and will ask you, if prompted, when you want your app,entree, desert order placed. That being said we will go thru two bottles of wine and spend 2 hours over dinner and tip very well for the understanding of how we enjoy our "special" diners.
