Sara Stosic is the Marketing & PR Manager of Iris Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. Read on her interview as she shares the concept behind the well-known restaurant plus the things that you will expect from Iris.
What is the inspiration or story behind Iris Yas Island concept?
From the creators of Iris Beirut, Iris Yas Island is a glovally influenced bar and restaurant featuring an extensive menu of sharing plates and specialty cocktails. Open all year round and just a thirty-minute drive from the UAE capital, Iris Yas Island encompasses an outdoor terrace with stunning views of the Yas Marina.
The restaurant scene in Abu Dhabi and Dubai is very competitive. What makes Iris stand out from the rest?
Everything about it. It’s way ahead of every other venue on all fronts.
What can foodies and restaurant patrons expect from Iris Yas Island when they come in for some bites, drinks, lunch, dinner, picnic and music?
Whatever they come for, they will get the very best, whether it’s a quick bite, dinner or drinks and music. Our food menu is the freshest and the best around and of course Iris picnic lunches are legendary.
Music is an important part of the Iris experience and live bands are regulars. In that regard, we know what our clients and friends like and make sure we provide it.
What are the restaurant’s strongest points in a highly competitive market?
Probably our strong point is that we never drop the ball; we are constantly tuned in to our clients’ likes and preferences and act accordingly. We listen to clients and friends and act on what we hear.
What are the unique attractions that Iris can offer its patrons when they visit?
The atmosphere, the unbeatable view of the marina, the welcome, those are just for starters and then the menu, drinks and music. We are simply the best on so many levels.
What can restaurant goers expect from Iris during their first visit?
An eye-opener, for sure. It’s an all-enveloping experience of excellent food, drinks, music and stunning views.
What kind of crowd can usually be found at Iris?
We welcome a mixed clientele of all ages but the thing they have in common is that they appreciate Iris’ chic and laid back ambience, know how to enjoy themselves and know where to come to do it.
What can people expect from Iris in the following months to come?
The month of March will emphasize on our Iris Picnic Brunch. Namely, on Saturday, March 19th we will be having a Mother’s Day edition of the Picnic brunch as an ode to motherhood and all moms out there!
On Saturday, March 26th, we will celebrate Easter with a customized edition of the Picnic Brunch. Expect lots of eggs, candy, an egg hunt.
