What a lovely experience for brunch! The service, food, ambiance, and atmosphere were phenomenal. Surprisingly reasonably priced as well. My friend and I enjoyed it so very much. We will definitely be back!
Service was excellent with Nathan our waiter. The food was good overall but that's because I'd rate one entree as excellent (fisherman redfish) and one as ok (gnocchi). We split a salad and gumbo for appetizers and they were very good. All the Desserts were excellent (cheesecake, chocolate mousse, apple tart dish). Ambiance was very nice for the most part but then a louder, younger group came in at the end and interfered with that. However, overall it was a great experience. We will definitely be going back.
Our first trip tonight. The ambiance was exceptional, the staff the best I have seen in a very long time. Our server was Destin, and if you meet her you'll be glad you did! The food was perfectly prepared and creatively presented. We can vouch for the martinis, filet, red fish, gloriette salad, burrata salad and house made ice cream for dessert. Worth every penny!

Food was superb! We had the pork cheek and Brussel sprouts for appetizers. Our entrees were the coffee rubbed venison and the salmon. The venison was so tender and paired perfectly with the squash purée. Nathan our server was wonderful. Super helpful and funny. We can't wait to go back!

I attended French Friday at The Gloriette which featured French inspired food and drinks. The setting was lovely however, my choices were limited as I do not eat meat on Fridays during Lent. I would suggest more seafood or vegetarian options during this season. I truly enjoyed the theme and hope inspired events continue.

Our server, Ken, allowed us the time to "catch up" & didn't rush us. Relaxed & enjoyed our Pretty in Pink cocktails. Both entrees were delicious - Moules Frites & Blue Crab Tagliatelle! In fact those fries were the best I've ever tasted!! The atmosphere is just beautiful. Can't wait to return.

Instead of ordering an appetizer or salad and an entree for dinner, we opted for a meal of appetizers. Five in total, each one delicious, with several big enough to be an entree. Great decision. Wine by the glass, after our cocktails. Service excellent. Just an enjoyable experience.

The service and ambiance are good, I ate there for dinner and not worth the money. I also ate there for breakfast, which was very good. If you are staying at the hotel, (The Southern Hotel), I recommend other restaurants within walking distance for dinner.

The Gloriette has become one of our favorite restaurants in Southeast Louisiana. It fares well in comparison with restaurants in New Orleans with a sophisticated emu, excellent cocktails, a very comfortable atmosphere, and superb service. Impeccable!

Been here twice, the first time i ordered the pork chop, it was very good. i returned yesterday with my boyfriend, we both got the filet with anna potatoes. The filet was good but the potatoes were so raw they were actually snapping. We could have sent them back but we just wanted to leave at this point.
Our service, food and ambiance was nothing short of outstanding! The fried Brussels sprout and the fried oyster appetizers were delicious! The filets were perfect! This was our first of many future visits! Most of the nicer restaurants we were familiar with were closed as it was Mardi Gras so we took a chance and couldn't have been happier! They have now nudged out others from the first and second choices! You will not be disappointed and they have a fabulous happy hour at the beautiful bar until 6:00 daily! Great wine and cocktails 50 off during happy hour. Wonderful piano music, great vibe, excellent wines. It is a must try for Covington!

We walked to the Materdie station, and he said nothing looked at me, grab the menus and walked to the table. Threw the menus on the table. Slid silverware across the table. And then came back and asked us do we know what we want yet? For these kind of prices this was McDonald's service.
The server was abysmal, lacked attentiveness, treated us as an annoyance. He preferred to disgustingly flirt with a table of teenagers. Three of the items on the menu were sold out. Appetizers came at the same time as entrees. The food was tasty. I've been here before and enjoyed the experience. The waiter today made the difference between an enjoyable experience and one that is forgettable.

Very nice staff. Absolutely the worst gumbo ever. The gumbo had a layer of thick grease that could kill a baby duck. It had absolutely zero flavor. For a high end restaurant I expect more. Also they have no explanation for why they name things. When I asked why they call it a “cream biscuit” the response was “we just call it that. It’s a regular biscuit”. Thats a fine name for a race horse, but definitely not for the dry hockey puck that landed in my plate. The service was amazing but the kitchen needs to step it up.

Delicious dining. Outstanding Service! Comfortable hospitality. The staff sets the tone - welcoming, attentive, and pleasant. Cuisine - well priced, varied menu, and lovely presentation.
