About Dauphine’s

Dauphine's offers an exceptional dining experience with a satisfying food and wine selection. The restaurant provides a lively but comfortable atmosphere, both indoors and outdoors, featuring two beautiful patios and heaters for chilly evenings. The menu showcases fresh, flavorful, and beautiful dishes, including chicken and fish, with standout options like chicken and waffles, crab cake, gombo with potato salad, and pork chop. Diners can also enjoy a delicious bread selection and sweet cream butter. The ambiance is vibrant yet inviting, creating a cool and immaculate environment. Live music adds to the atmosphere, although some guests found the jazz band took many breaks, which was disappointing. The staff is exceptional and patient, ensuring great service even when busy, with some reviews highlighting the friendly and attentive service. Guests praise the excellent drinks, such as Pimm's cup and martini, and the small plates like oysters dauphine and crispy artichokes, which they highly enjoyed. Food is generally great, with favorites including catfish spread, sliders, and croquettes. Some dishes, like beignets, were slightly undercooked, and it was unfortunate that they were still charged. Desserts like the chocolate Chickory, baked Alaska, and a peanut butter dessert resembling a PB&J are delightful treats. The restaurant offers a good selection of craft cocktails and a fun environment for good company. The menu also features an upscale take on Creole-inspired food, along with a raw bar and a large drinks and wine menu, including options for non-alcoholic beverages. All-day happy hour on Sunday is a bonus. Parking can be a challenge, but the Park app is available to help. Overall, Dauphine's remains a great spot for a memorable meal, lively atmosphere, and friendly service.
