“Great place to meet with friends, have cocktails made by and amazing bartender, and delicious food with a menu to satisfy all! 🍷🥃🍸🍾“

“Found this gem of a restaurant on our vacation in New Orleans. Food, drinks, and service were all excellent. The staff was very attentive to the timing of food delivery to allow for a good conversions and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“We had the most amazing dining experience we've had in awhile. Our server Antonio was knowledgeable about the dishes on the menu and attentive without hovering. We ordered bread for an appetizer along with the T-bone pork chops and Scallops with grits as the main course. Dessert was the Almond cake with honey ice cream. Everything came out with absolute perfection. Our drinks were never empty. We left full and blown away by the whole experience at Plates. Highly recommend!“

“Customer Service leaves a lot to be desired. Our waitress barely stopped by to check on us. The food was fantastic. The charbroiled oysters were plump and meaty. The gumbo and coleslaw were both very flavorful. And the fried fish dinner was also fantastic. Is the service was anywhere near the quality of the food I would recommend 100%.“

“Stellar food, service, and atmosphere!“

“Great food and service. This was our first eating experience in New Orleans. Gallier’s set the bar high. We enjoyed the red snapper and seafood platter for lunch.“

“By Far the best food we have eaten here in New Orleans so far!! Highly recommend! There were 6 of us and every one of us loved our plates. They have a variety to choose from and the portion sizes are huge! Not to mention the great service! The waiters and waitress are the best!!! If you’re here in New Orleans don’t miss out!!“

“The staff at Lula were wonderful! Went to look at the accommodations for a rehearsal dinner. The staff showed us the Barrel Room and explained the setup for the amount of guest expected. They are very accommodating for your needs. Lunch was delicious! Shrimp and grits and Fried pickled mirlitons with a poblano dipping sauce were a hit. Our server, Jalen was the best! Definitely a place to visit in NOLA.“

“0n a recommendation from our small haunted hotel we hit MRB for lunch. The catfish po boy was outstanding. Their drink specials were just right and reasonably priced. Two days later, we went back to try the alligator sandwich and some charbroiled oysters also spot Definitely would not call this a tourist trap. It’s like most of Nola, funky, functional and fun. Don’t confuse with Mr bs“

“I highly recommend the food. The staff on the other hand was very hostile and awkward. The bartender kept making comments about customers and when she took Togo orders would audible verbalize being upset about not getting tips. The entire encounter was awkward and uncomfortable. The female bartender with red hair kept making remarks about customers complaining on her. We had a prepaid visa gift card we wanted to use to pay and realized that hen we went to pay that we did not have cash. We were going to go get cash and bring it back to her. UNTIL she looked at the receipt and stated “wow thanks guys” rolled her eyes and gave me a dirty look. She was not attentive and I kept having to ask other staff for help but we still wanted to tip her something until she was so rude to us.“

“Enjoyed our food, will be back“

“The seasoned red potatoes & butter in lieu of chips were a delicious surprise. I had the stuffed trout which was excellent. Service with a smile must be their motto, because that is what I got. Next trip I definitely want to check out the small pies for dessert.“

“Great food, very pleasant & prompt service“

“The Best place to eat in New Orleans!!!“

“My husband and I went on Friday night for dinner. Could not wait to try the new menu and it was simply awesome. To start with, our sever team was Isaac and Cheyanne and they were great. We never waited for anything. The Hot Crab Claws and Foie Gras Torte for appetizers were divine. I ordered the Duck Cassoulet and my husband had the visiting fish, Sea Bass over Yakamein. While the fish was excellent, the Duck ruled the table. Thanks to the Servers and Kitchen for a wonderful meal. We'll be back.“

“We had a party of 13. Our waiter, Ty, was amazing! Ordered the Crawfish Papusas for appetizers. Delish. Main dishes: Gumbo and Coconut Snapper and Waffles. Gumbo was bland per husband, who is a connoisseur and from Lousiana. The Coconut Snapper is served on tartar sauce which overwhelmed the taste of the fish for me. Still, it was tasty. The cornbread waffles with the crayfish sauce that came with the Snapper were amazing!!! I had the bottomless pineapple Mimosa cuz we went at Brunch...also very good. Staff was pleasant. Restaurant has a good vibe. Also mentioned that everything is fresh to order...no microwave in the kitchen. That's a plus cuz I can use a microwave at home. Missed taking pics cuz I was in the moment.“

“The Friday special was Trout alondine that had no almonds. The waiter brought out some raw almond slices to make it right. He tried. The fish was fresh, however. They also have a housefly problem.“

“Excellent food and great service“

“My wife and I have just had our tea at Nola Poboys I had a 12 inch poboy (Big Easy), hot roast beef, ham with all the trimmings & my wife had Debris fries without cheese. (She doesn’t like cheese) crazy I know. It was off the chain. Highly recommend Nola Poboys. Just do it! 😀“

“Each visit makes me fall in love with Zydeco’s more! The service is admirable and the food is delicious. My favorite is the Snow Crabs!“

“Parkway will ALWAYS be a favorite for me and my family. We absolutely love their poboy’s. This place is #1 in our opinion ❤️“

“Food is amazing but the service is even better!!!! Can’t say enough great things about Mr. Ed’s!“

“I have passed Fives multiple times, been meaning to stop in and finally did on last night w| a friend who was visiting.

We stopped by on a Tuesday, that is of course a pretty slow day in the city so it was pretty dead. We sat on the cocktail bar side and we were greeted by a super nice bartender— I can’t remember her name, but she had loads of energy!! We ordered a few oysters and they were hands downs some of the best oysters I’ve tasted. My favorites were the Mon Louis, such a great, clean taste. My drinks were extremely good. I could have sat there all night stuffing my face a drinking.

I wasn’t aware that Fives is owned by the same people who own The Columns, makes sense because food and drinks are always perfection there as well.

Fives is located in Jackson Square, prime location for tourists as it is centrally located in the Quarter. The space is limited, If you are expecting a full blown out restaurant, this isn’t the location. Fives is truly a cocktail/oyster bar. I believe I saw a total of four tables in each corner w| four chairs to each table.

This will certainly become a new spot for me to hang.“

“Very laid back environment with really great food and service. Also probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! We ordered the whole fish and the croquettes too, so good. The fish had bones so it was definitely some work but it was simply cooked and had a lot of flavor. Centrally located so easy to get to and worth the visit“

“Great service great food will definitely be back“

“Excellent food, great service. Will return if I’m back in New Orleans.“

“It was great until... and lady behind the counter was completely rude when I asked for a to-go box. SHAME on you! Your nastiness ruined a fantastic mood and experience.“

“Pescado y las pastas el ambiente“

“The most kind and attentive staff! We called ahead to see if it was hard to get a table of six and they told us it was not and to come on in. We showed up an hour later and they saved us a table. The food was authentic, fresh, hot and delicious. Our table had the lasagne, spaghetti and meatballs, Mr Ed’s special poboy and the stuffed seafood bell pepper. This was the most amazing food we’ve ever had. The hospitality was unmatched. Absolutely perfect! Come here for a good time, great food and exceptional service. Catherine was the most precious person and we wanted to take her to the Taylor Swift with us!“

“Can you give me Brandon LeFort‘s email address?“

“Antoine was a fantastic server ...polite, courteous, attentive, and extremely handsome. oh and the food was good too. I ordered the soup of the day which was the crab chowder - really decadent but not too rich. Dinner was a coffee rubbed filet cooked to perfection. I was dining alone but seated close to two different couples who did not know each other but struck up a conversation due to their proximity and I enjoyed their conversation as one couple was Swedish and the other was from AL but had Swedish roots. it was a really cool place to eat since I would call it fine dining but a comfortable feel. 10/10. Ask for Antoine.“

“The food and the service!“

“Excellent experience. Super friendly staff . Great food! Dog friendly. Nice outside dinning“

“Seafood nachos are Devine! Shrimp,crayfish, cheese and jalapeños combination. Get sauce on the side and eat it like a dip.Crackers,veggies, chips,even shoe leather would be good dipped in this elixer.Highly recommend.“

“Get atmosphere. Enjoyed the patio outdoor seating. Highly recommend the specialty chargrilled oysters. Demetrius provided great service and was very attentive and provided great suggestions. The Sticky Praline Cinnamon Roll was great ending to wonderful Friday afternoon lunch.“

“JACQ, JOSH, and MISS DENISE treated me very well. Super friendly and food was tasty. Thank you all!“

“Visited from out of town. It was close to my AirBnB. I tried the fried rice combo which came with ham, shrimp, & chicken fried rice with a protein side. I chose fried pork chops. The chops were just mildly seasoned & not fried crispy enough but was a good quality pork chop. The rice was decent. I will return to try more options. An extra starFriendly service.“
