The dining room of Restaurant Iris, one of the city’s premier restaurants, is temporarily closed, as is its sister restaurant, The Second Line, though plans for it could change to include a takeout option. Chef/owner Kelly English also owns Fino’s, which will remain open for takeout only during lunch. All three restaurants will offer delivery services.
