“Amazing food and service. Everything is fresh and authentic!! I love this place and it’s my go to!!! Yall have to give it a try!!“

“Zea Rotisserie & Cafe on Hickory Avenue in Harahan (just a stone’s throw from Elmwood) offers a solid dining experience that’s hard not to appreciate—even if it doesn’t quite knock your socks off. The rotisserie chicken is reliably juicy, the Thai ribs have a nice kick, and the roasted corn grits are a comforting side that rarely disappoints. I recently had the Honey Island chicken sandwich and it was delicious. Absolutely recommend the hummus.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a casual lunch or low-key dinner. Service is generally attentive without being overbearing. While some menu items might not dazzle every time, the overall consistency and friendly vibe make it a dependable go-to when you're in the area.

It’s not revolutionary—but it doesn’t need to be. Zea delivers exactly what it promises: good food, good service, and in a welcoming environment. Sometimes, that’s more than enough.“

“Went with friends. The green onion pancakes taste exceptionally good. You can't taste the green onion and though the sauce is a type of soy mixed with something is sweet and light. The Salmon bento comes with 2 spring rolls, 2 thin, well done Salmon slices over lettuce, rice, edemame and sweet and sour sauce. Pretty good, the edemame was a little hard but other than that, it was pretty good. The vegetarian Ramen was extremely good even better with the side of curry sauce. Highly recommend. The curry Ramen comes with a chicken soup base and grilled chicken. Delicious and rich with a light creamy texture and the curry added a plus. The fried chicken Ramen had a lot of flavor but even more with Sriracha sauce. The seafood soup does not comes with noodles. It is a very tasty and fresh choice and great for those that have gluten issues. The environment is very quiet besides the guests. They play soft music in the back ground. Great atmosphere and there is a bar. There is a weekly lunch menu but not on the weekends.“

“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!“

“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%.“

“We had dinner here last night. The atmosphere is lovely and the food is wonderful. We ordered the 4 course dinner and each plate that came out was fabulous. The cocktails were great too and the service can't be beat. 5 stars!“

“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.“

“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“

“Stellar food, service, and atmosphere!“

“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.“

“The food was delicious & the Sazerac was scrumptious. We had a wonderful experience & highly recommend!!“

“Enjoyed our food, will be back“

“What an incredible restaurant to visit! The staff, the vibe, and everything else in between was absolutely phenomenal. I ran into a situation where I forgot to grab my receipt, which was needed for expenses for a business trip, and the concierge was able to send me a copy of my receiptvia text message which was a huge lifesaver and a giant avoidance of a headache. If I’m ever in town, this is the first spot I will be visiting. The food was absolutely phenomenal.“

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

“Absolutely amazing! We hadn’t had this type of food before and it did not disappoint.“

“Kayla was an amazing server!!! A must go!!“

“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.“

“the food was great at the Iberville location. we had a great time, my party and I. my server Kristina was amazing and helpful. would highly recommend Deanies and Kristina!“

“Beautiful & amazing place! Our crew enjoyed the food and drinks the service was 10/10 !“

“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.“

“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! 😀“

“Excellent experience. Highly recommend. We tried almost half the menu, drinks and desserts included. Great all around.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“local crawfish and shrimp, great service“

“The food and the service!“

“This place really left a lasting impression. From the hostess, our server, the bathrooms, food, price point, time we spent. Everything was on point. We had oysters, gumbo, bisque, redfish, and house salad. Everything was divine!!! Keep up the good work! Also loved that it was so very clean.“

“Held our resident building mixer last night. GREAT venue, food, service, all top notch. I like to float between Rusty Nail and Sidecar depending on my mood.“

“My wife and I chose Seawitch for our first anniversary dinner. We made a reservation for 6 PM and arrived on-time and were promptly seated. Out server was a very nice gentleman and answered all of our questions regarding food and drink. My wife went with the Prosecco and oysters to start. I chose a gumbo and Woodford Reserve. The oysters were perfectly chilled and plump. My gumbo had a perfect dark roux color and was perfectly flavored. My wife then ordered the Redfish entree while I went with the scallops. The Redfish was so delicious. My wife and I loved it. The scallops were perfectly cooked with a lovely sear outside and a perfect cook inside. They were massive scallops so we shared. Too full for desert but happily replete, we wrapped up the evening and now have a lovely memory of our first anniversary and will always come back to Seawitch.

The restaurant is located right on St. Charles so you can get there easily by Uber, car, or trolly. The building is very well kept and we had a great seat on the upstairs balcony overlooking the avenue. We really couldn't have asked for more. The service is top notch and my wife and I will always sing the establishment's praises.

Weird addendum....

The musical list was very smooth and great for the overall experience. My compliments to the DJ that put together the set list“

“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.“

“Broussard’s is such a timeless New Orleans gem! The courtyard is absolutely magical for weddings, and the team there is always incredibly professional and welcoming. We love performing in this elegant and historic setting — the energy is always joyful and romantic. It’s the perfect spot for an unforgettable celebration!“

“Chargrilled Oysters & the Bleu Cheese Wedge Salad.“

“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.“

“First visit we were warmly greeted and made to feel like old friends. The hostesses and wait staff are fantastic and the food is second to none. We told them we'd be back and we returned twice more over four days in the area.“

“I just love this place. Been many times on multiple trips. Bartenders are always so engaging and very much about keeping you company and telling you about their drinks and oysters. On this trip, a bartender with pig tails and a cap made my time so special by telling me the back story on the gin and the oysters. Fun, smiley, knowledgeable, and just welcoming. This will always be a stop for me on my New Orleans trips. And happy hour on Mon-Thu 3-6pm has great prices and fun stuff.“

“First Time.. traveling through town & was super impressed and very delicious 😋“
