“Elysian was amazing to work with for our wedding. They were communicative and friendly throughout the planning process and allowed us to do a tasting with my parents, where we got to try all the amazing food. We got so many compliments about the food at our wedding, and all the catering staff working our wedding were incredibly nice and professional. Would definitely recommend Elysian for catering!!“
“Attended a Family Wedding at this Venue. It was an Outdoor Affair, Black Tie! Along with an Indoor Reception. Everything was absolutely exquisite! The Outdoor Setup was just as it was portrayed in their Online Description. The Open Air Colonnade certainly lent an air of opulence to both the setting and the ambiance. This definitely is quite the upscale Venue for your Special Occasion! (The location we used was in Harahan, Louisiana, right outside of New Orleans.) I give it Five Stars!“
“Saffron is one our favorite places in New Orleans. We usually make the reservations a month ahead to make sure we get in. The cocktails are top of the line at Saffron! The charbroiled oysters served with naan bread are the best I've ever tasted. Friends that came with us could not stop talking about them. For the table we ordered Pork Vindaloo, a few orders of chicken Biryani, one of the specials, a kebob dish, and a few gumbos. Every dish was better than the last. The food here is amazing! Saffron's staff are very attentive and the restaurant is so warm and inviting with ambient lighting. The bar is great, too.“
“I recently got married at the Royal Palm in November. We were so glad we chose this place. The customer service with Chip and Travis is top tier and unmatched. I had a problem with my decorator delivering what was promised and Royal Palm came through in a pinch. My guest were blown away with the elegance of this place. It was so easy to coordinate EVERYTHING. The food was good, the selections to choose from is amazing. I can go on and on because it was just that great.“
“We ordered a muffuletta and a chop salad. The salad was fresh, delicious, and great quality. The muffuletta-YUMMYYY!!! They make a really nice muffuletta, I mean you have to try it!! I split the sandwich and the salad with my boyfriend and we were happy and full at the end. Service was nice. We placed a call in order so we could just run in and grab it so I'm not sure about the ambience inside. We took ours to-go and ate it in City Park- a lovely little lunch.“
“Another favorite when we are in the area!!! Husband always gets the all you can eat seafood boil, we have also tried the po boys, frog legs, and I always get a side of sausage from the boil. It is so juicy and flavorful! Service is great and the tako toddy is delicious also!“
“Traveling from sunny Florida for a family wedding and sight seeing in NOLA for a week.We went to City Park for the day and happened upon Blue Oak BBQ restaurant.I had the pulled pork sandwich with baked beans and my son had a hamburger with fries. The baked beans were TO DIE FOR...BEST I EVER HAD!!!!The burger was cooked to perfection and the pulled pork sandwich was mouth watering. Thank you for good ole fashion southern BBQ!“
“We had messina’s catering for our destination wedding in New Orleans. The staff was very attentive and kind. I had planned this event mostly with Kaya, who was wonderful. The staff had food for us at the sweetheart table ready to go, and made SURE we both ate (which is hard to do at a wedding reception). They also did a marvelous job at customizing most of our dishes to be GF, and you literally could not tell at all ( if you know, you know). Everything was divine. And the staff was so, so sweet. 10/10 highly recommend. Thanks so much for everything. It was delicious. -Sarah ( October 28th 2023 bride)“
“Ordered takeout a while back from here.When I went to go pick it up the employees were really sweet! They have a huge menu with lots of comfort food.We got the seafood eggrolls, seafood bread and something else that I can't remember lol. Wasnt extremely expensive and everything was good but nothing was great. We all split it and none of us really felt like it was anything to rave about. However they had just started doing take out and the food looks amazing so we will definitely be back.“

“NOLA Crawfish King combines two of my favorite food groups with their offerings in BOTH seafood & BBQ. They also offer a notable burger which is quite a hefty example of the burger genre. NOLA Crawfish King is noted for having quickly being one of the top New Orleans BBQ restaurants and also offers an interesting selection of nice burgers and other sandwiches on top of their great seafood options. So far I have sampled the BBQ brisket, a brisket bomb, their burger, their Rueben and of course the crawfish. NOLA Crawfish King has some of the spiciest and best crawfish I've had in a long while and since Big Fisherman closed on Magazine Street the current champ of having the best seasoned crawfish in New Orleans is the NOLA Crawfish King as measured by my taste buds. Overall NOLA Crawfish King rally offers a lot of delicious food options that really deserves more recognition.My video review of NOLA Crawfish King Seafood & BBQ is here:https://youtu.be/sz45ZHjkLjs“
“I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered their Crawfish Strudel. They arrived frozen and a dozen to a bag. A few months later and I am still eating them. So good - makes an excellent breakfast. Happy that I ordered a few dozen. The strudel is flaky and good and the filling decadent with the crawfish and cheese. You just bake them and enjoy and you can cook just one or several.“
“Catered food for 18 and it was AMAZINGGG ! She was running a few minutes late and made sure she called and communicated that. She was professional, timely, and the food was top tier !!! Everyone loved it ! I’d recommend trying it out for sure !The veggie salad was the bestttt but truly every item was delicious.“
“We drove across the Causeway for the opportunity to enjoy Chef Natasha’s food. We will definitely be returning. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food. The best comment was from my son, “This takes me back to good days” referring to buying supper plates and plates from the church. Thank you Chef for the follow up call.“
“Ohhhhhh chilllleeeee... Excellent food and service. Chef Shonda is amazing. Her food is to LIVE for!!!! I recently happened upon her cuisine by way of a friend and I am so thankful for the share. Chef Shonda offers fine dining food to go, and when I say it's fine, it truly is. I would expect some of the dishes that she provides to be on a menu at an upscale restaurant. I love the fact that she is accommodating to patrons regarding their food needs. I have a few food constraints, hunnnnniiiieeeeeee, me and dairy are not friends... She makes certain to advise of the food ingredients in the event that you have a food allergy or something of that nature. On this particular day, I had jerk salmon, yellow rice & sautéed veggies; and it was simply amazing. I love salmon and the jerk sauce that she put on top was phenomenal. I didn't think that I could love salmon anymore than I already do. But that jerk sauce that she puts on it takes salmon to a whole 'nother level. And the yellow rice was accompanied with the mixed vegetables, simply divine. When eating the yellow rice I noticed each individual grain was separate and not sticking to the fork or another grain. It was light, fluffy and full of flavor. The vegetables were perfectly sautéed. There were no burnt marks on them. None were over or under cooked. Oh, and don't even get me started on the peach cobbler cheesecake. Oh well, see, you got me started so here we go... I ate mine and had to call back and ask if there was more. So happy she was able to accommodate me because I had two servings of the peach cobbler cheesecake, oh chile, it was great. Can I tell you the truth and let you know I ate my entrée and my dessert at the same time. Literally one spoon of the entrée... One spoon of dessert. #judgementfreezone The packaging and containers that the food was served in was above board for takeout. I mean it's personally labeled, very neat and orderly. I feel like I should pay extra just because of the nice packaging. She provides plastic and not that UNenvironmentally friendly Styrofoam. Her food is finger licking good from start to finish. As you can tell, look at the lack of contents of my bowl (see picture), there's a before and after, notice the difference? Hats off to Chef Shonda and her team job. Well done. I look forward to more takeout moments with Chef Shonda.“
“What a gem! Great authentic Honduran food. Very good service and fair prices. We tried a cross section of the menu and everything was excellent. I personally like some spice but with flavor, not just heat. This was exactly what I was looking for. Excellent.“
“3-29-2024, stopped in today for lunch. We had the stuffed Millerton w/ broccoli and rice and cornbread dressing. Excellent as usual. Also, the pot roast with souffle spinach and grilled brussel sprouts. Excellent. I only complained about this place is so “
“Holy Moly! As a born and bred South Georgia girl ( not really a girl anymore, lol) I know chicken. Or I thought I did. So when I say that this is without a doubt the best dang chicken sandwich on the planet, you can take that info to the BANK! My daughter Anna insisted we go there first thing as we attended the New Orleans Fried Chicken Festival and although we had some great dishes, this was just spectacular! Now have I ever called a chicken sandwich spectacular? Not once and I have had some really good ones in my lifetime.I just know when I win the lottery ( and I am lucky!) these will be the first folks I invest in. So if you want your tastebuds to be dancing all day, just go. I'm not normally this excited about something, but they have it going on!“
“So, I got a CupCake that was inspired by music and late night in the bakery. I dont know what they called that caramel goodness but it was emotional. Tasted like the caramel cake my Grandma made on Saturday day to sit for Sunday after church. Literally, made me cry. Thank you for this.Kid-friendliness: Issa CupCake store.Wheelchair accessibility: Sidewalks are wide and doors wide enough to accommodate.“
“Food was really good and the beer from Faubourg where it's located is delicious. Staff are overall super friendly and pleasant. Our order was incomplete and had to return to counter for missing drink. Different staff member at the counter seemed quite annoyed that I came back to get the drink.“
“This place is always great ,food is always good I can say this company is family owned and that goes along way staff very friendly, helpful ,and always willing to give you options on your order love the food ,events are like a dream come true with pigeon plan your next event and you will see ...“

“I went to the Ridgeway tonight with my family and we had the best experience ! The staff is ON POINT and so polite and lovely and work so so hard !! The food was plentiful and readily available and I never have to actually say “No- I am full!” The food just kept coming and coming and it was so good and hot and I can’t speak more highly of the staff and their attentiveness . Great little place in Old Metairie for any event — big or small !“
“Capdeboscq is THE best decision we made when planning our wedding. The entire staff goes above and beyond to make your day absolutely perfect. From the moment we first met with Gene to the end of our reception, this company exceeded our already high expectations. WOW! Truly an amazing caterer and fabulous staff. Capdeboscq is the only caterer worth spending your hard earned money on. The food is phenomenal, and there is tons of it. You guests will be raving about every single item Capdeboscq serves. You and your spouse will have plenty of leftovers the next day (maybe even week). I am unbelievably happy with the service and food Capdeboscq provided for our big day. THANK YOU!!!“
