“Wandered in because it was so pretty inside through the window, and sure enough, it was on the inside too! I didn't have much appetite but felt social and curious, so I sat up at the barter chatting with other guests and browsing menus. I eventually went with a couple drinks made by bartenders Will and Nick, who will steer you in the right direction if you ever find yourself clueless yet captivated at their bar.“

“Everything about this restaurant is outstanding. I will definitely return.“

“Step back in time to the classic crooners era. Exceptional customer service. 1pm on Thursday, driving down St. Charles passing the time until I needed to be some place, passed this little gem and decided to pop in. I was immediately greeted and sat by Mr. Otis. Promptly bringing water. Mr. Georgio informed me of the availability of fresh softshells, and took my order. Sitting by the window watching the beautiful streetcars going up and down St. Charles. There was a few people in the restaurant but it was a whole vibe. Meal was fantastic. I watch a sweet older couple ask Mr. Georgio about the street car, he walked the couple across the street and give instructions on what to do. Absolutely suggest taking the time to visit. Two guests, appetizer, 2 lunch specials, water and tea bill was in the mid $60s without tip.“

“Melanie our server went above and beyond to make our dining experience wonderful!“

“I normally get half a muffaletta cut in quarters and save it for the flight back home the next day. They are incredible and I will keep doing this as long as I keep coming to New Orleans.
The place is small and it can get pretty loud, if you have someone with sense hearing (like me), remind them to bring earplugs.

Parking: Parking can be a bit tight on busy nights.“

“Food & service outstanding. Shout out to our server Nigel.“

“We were over the top with the entire meal. We started with the sampler appetizer and it was amazing. I had spaghetti and meatballs with the Italian house salad and my fiance had the meatball poboy. Everything was amazing and so delicious and the service was excellent. I have looked for an Italian restuarant to please my palate and have been disappointed but NO MORE, Gendusa's has met my expectations above and beyond!“

“We just ate Vincent’s in Metaire. It was amazing from start to finish. My wife and I along with my ten month old walked in on a busy Saturday nite. They were so happy to see us and I could tell they were super busy. We did not have a reservation and they found a way to seat us. Nate was at the table quickly. I was thankful because no doubt he was double sat and he was really happy to help us. We ordered five courses and the chef was at our table before the second course to make sure we were happy. The oysters Rockefeller and artichoke Vincent were perfectly flavored . Of course we had the signature crab and corn bisc in a bread bowl as well as the crawfish bisc . Both were fantastic. That bread bowl and bisc should be considered a must. If you haven’t experienced it I’m not sure I can consider your local. It’s amazing!The Italian salad is a perfect mix of olive heaven for any Italian looking for something that reminds him or her of Sunday dinner at your Nona’s house. The Osso Bucco is rich and a labor of love for the chef because it’s the best I’ve ever had. Demi gloss is almost as good as the veal but I’m splitting Angel hair even trying to pick what was better. Dessert menu was packed with classics and the tiramisu must have been made in heaven because the lady fingers and butter cream had me needing a bigger belt when I left. Nate our waiter sped up our courses so our infant wouldn’t get restless and took time to talk with us even though his section was obviously full. He laughed with us and found a way to let us know about the menu in every way with out ever interrupting our conversation. 5 stars for chef 5 stars for Vincent’s and 5 stars for Nate. Thanks for making us feel welcome even with our baby which was the cherry on top for me and my wife.“

“We so enjoyed our dinner here! Found it by chance, but we will definitely be back!“

“Friendly employees. I had my driver come in at the recommendation of a friend, placed an order of the roast beef po-boy to go. Service was quick. Food was hot and good.“

“Tonight was our third trip to Fausto’s and our third great experience. All three of us had veal dishes and split a Caesar salad. Everything was great. We highly recommend Fausto’s.“

“Shout out to the entire team at Two Tony’s. My son and fiancés rehearsal dinner was outstanding. Mr. Tony and his team are the best. Great food and excellent service. We had a party of 30 and everything was PERFECT! I highly recommend them for your party. Very reasonable prices as well.“

“THIS PLACE IS LEGIT!!!! Living most of my life in the Philly/South Jersey area I say from experience this place would absolutely stand up to Northeast pizza. What was even better than the food were the people who owned/ran it. We didn’t realize they closed at 2 for lunch but they never made us feel uncomfortable at all. They were absolutely fantastic from the second we walked in to the moment we left. I felt like I was back home for lunch today. This is by far the best pizza we have found in the south. Also go birds 🦅!“

“My second time at this place. I love the atmosphere. You are greeted when you enter the place and when you are leaving out. The waitresses and management is so nice and polite. The food is amazingly so good. It's hard to get good service but this place is so great at it. Love this place if I could give it 6 stars I would.“

“Best onion rings around! Friendly welcoming staff. Overall great experience!“

“We had a lovely experience here! Everything was delicious. The cannolis are a must!“

“10/10 the homemade Alfredo sauce was amazing!“

“Food was average to good. Considering it's a chain restaurant, my expectation is never high. The service was great. However, the ladies room for dinner service was atrocious. Trash on the floor and water everywhere. The restroom didn't get checked at all that day. Good thing I went on my way out. It was extremely displeasing and made me wonder what the kitchen may look like. I won't be back anytime soon, but my granddaughter likes their Chicken Alfredo, and that's the only reason I dine there.“

“the best BBQ shrimp not like bbq that i knew“

“We recently had two huge tables reserved. The food was amazing and the service was even better. I highly recommend dining at the Brick Oven. Booking, communication, food, drinks, and service were all top notch!“

“Amazing food and family owned. They work hard to make sure you are happy!“

“We were greeted pleasantly and seated quickly. Our waitress’s name was MaKayla and she was phenomenal! She was very knowledgeable and helpful with wine selections and tasting. We loved that it was Vino Thursday so we ordered a bottle (half price). We started off with the roasted Brussels sprouts appetizer and it was delicious. I’m not usually a Brussels sprout person but these were so good! I’d definitely order them again. My husband got the Marsala. He was very pleased as this is a favorite dish of his. I tend to be very, very picky about Alfredo but this was one of the best I’ve tasted. It was rich and creamy with just the right taste! The panéed chicken was tender, almost melt in your mouth, and very flavorful. The wine MaKayla suggested paired beautifully with both our entrees. To end the evening we ordered the tiramisu. It was heaven! I love tiramisu and was not disappointed. The restaurant is clean and had a very comfortable feel to it. I loved the light blue colors. It felt relaxing and inviting. Overall 5 stars!!!“

“This is top tier dining in a more relaxed setting. It’s the perfect mix of formal and casual dinning. The food was nothing short of amazing, very authentic and fresh. The service was great. This is easily one my favorite restaurant in the New Orleans are.“

“Been doing business with them for 20+ years. Great food, always getting better, perfect, reliable consistency. All staff care about their customers. Specials! Recommend: Cuban Panini Mushroom with Italian Sausage Soup Over filled po-boys So many great entrees! Get to know them soon!“

“The food was delicious and the service was superb!“

“Fury's Restaurant earns every inch of its 5-star rating, especially when it comes to their fried seafood. Each crispy, golden bite is a testament to perfection. From the flaky, succulent fish to the plump, juicy shrimp, every piece is flawlessly fried to golden perfection. The seafood is fresh, the batter is light yet flavorful, and each dish is a savory symphony that celebrates New Orleans' coastal flavors. Paired with their welcoming ambiance and top-notch service, Fury's fried seafood is a culinary journey you won't soon forget. A definite must-visit for seafood enthusiasts!“

“Very good food and fast and friendly service!“

“What a joy. Thanks to Peter for the great service from the bar and knowledge of the history of Blake’s. Paris in the kitchen dished my spectacular shrimp bacon burger and my date’s scallops in a white wine sauce which she described as “perfect.” Carried home the wowzer bread pudding. We’ll be back to try the weekend brunch. Great people make delicious food even better.“

“Fantastic Italian food, made old world style.“

“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!!“

“Had lunch here as part of a bespoke tour with Accidental Cajun Experiences. We not only enjoyed incredible food, but had the opportunity to chat with the owner and staff. Beautiful people creating food they love. DO NOT SNOOZE ON VAUCRESSON's!“

“Amazing wraps and cheese fries! 5 out of 5“

“Lets start with the appetizer. We chose the fried calamari, it was a perfect contrast between the crunchy exterior and the slightly chewy, briny interior. it was not greasy at all.

In short: crispy, tender, savory, and a little addictive

I ordered the 8oz filet mignon cooked medium well, and it exceeded my expectations. It came out with a beautifully seared crust and a warm, slightly pink center—exactly how I like it

If you like your steak cooked medium well but still want that melt-in-your-mouth texture, this is the way to go.“

“The best place 🍔🥩🥓🍕🍕🍕🍗🥗🥗♥️“
