“I really like the food at La Petite but I find the temperature of the food not ideal. The LPG Cheeseburger was lukewarm. The french fries were perfect. The soup I had was delicious but some of it was really hot and other areas were good temperature as if it was put in a microwave but not stirred before serving it.“

“From the moment you step into Chemin à la Mer, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of refined elegance. The restaurant's stunning riverfront location provides breathtaking views of the Mississippi River, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. But the true star of Chemin à la Mer is its exquisite cuisine. The menu features a delightful array of French-inspired dishes, each prepared with meticulous attention to detail and bursting with flavor. My personal favorite was the quiche, which is undoubtedly the best I've ever tasted. The buttery crust, the velvety custard, and the perfectly cooked bacon harmonized in a symphony of textures and flavors that left me speechless. Our server, Mandy, was an absolute delight. Her warm smile, attentive service, and genuine enthusiasm for the restaurant's offerings made us feel welcomed and valued. She expertly guided us through the menu, providing insightful recommendations and ensuring that our every need was met with utmost care. The other breakfast items we sampled were equally impressive. The omelets were fluffy and flavorful, the pancakes were light and airy, and the fresh fruit was impeccably ripe and juicy. Each dish was a testament to the chef's culinary expertise and commitment to using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. To top off our exceptional dining experience, our daughter received the utmost attention from Mandy. With her engaging personality and genuine love for children, Mandy made our daughter feel special and entertained throughout our meal. Her kindness and attentiveness were a true reflection of the restaurant's commitment to providing exceptional service to all its guests. Thank you, Mandy, for making our experience a lovely & memorable one.“

The cornmeal crust on the oysters added a different flavor that was great. The duck was melt in your mouth. The bavette was tender, well seasoned and delicious. Ours came out warm but not hot and while we chose to not send it back for refire the staff went above and beyond to apologize and offer to make it right. This restaurant should be on the top of your list, highly recommend.“

“Lot's of decisions and they are all pretty good! You walk in place your order boil bags from shrimp to pig feet boil. (And everything else) And the other line they have is for fried platters. Both lines stay fairly busy. Which means...., The food must be pretty good or people wouldn't wait in line for that long to get an order. And it is that good. I got the softshell crab platter with fried rice, which was rather delicious. It was more than I could eat. and my husband had the shrimp po' boy sandwich He thought was pretty good. If you looking for cheaper and taste as good as the French Quarter then you should check it out.The ambience is so so it's really nothing to brag about because you just go pick up your food. Sit and eat it if you like and if you don't you keep it moving.“

“After a lifetime of Grits avoidance, it was Apolline that finally turned me - actually changed my mind. I was a "Grits Convert" they said, as if it were a common experience from their point of view.Maybe it was just the first time I'd experienced Grits as anything better than bland and uninspired gruel. Or maybe the preparation here was exceptional. Whatever the case, the Shrimp and Grits was irresistible. I felt a shade guilty, as if anything this good must be illegal, even in a city with few such social limitations.Short version: The food was excellent and the service was genuine. It was an easy place to enjoy, easier to recommend.“

The entree platters were surprisingly big. I did not get to try them but my friends enjoyed. I had the gumbo and Peruvian scallop which were both tasty. Not wow, but good. 8.5/10. They also brought my friend a little dessert for her birthday which was so sweet! A burger was also ordered along with shrimp and grits, a bisque, and halibut I believe. I tried the shrimp and grits and it was GOOD. That stole the show for me. Overall not my favorite place for creole food, but still worth a visit.“

“I really cannot say enough about this place. The ambience and decor are beautiful, they’re playing authentic French music which you would expect, but what was not expected was the incredible truly French food. I knew the chef was not French by birth but you’d never know it. The escargot were perfect, garlicky and not salty, the bread is amazing, so was the pain perdu, I would like some brie on the charcuterie board but the board was amazing, and the substitution of mushrooms into a traditional boeuf bourginon to make it vegetarian y’all is genius. My son thought he was eating meat, it was so hearty. We can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu, although I will have to prep myself because the bartender pours with a heavy hand and makes a great French 75! ❤️“

Mussels, vinaigrette avocado, goat cheese salad, dessert crepes. I had the salmon with bernaise and it was as delicately perfect as I remembered. (The dash across Prytania to the Creole Creamery is just as life-affirming as I remember because if you make it alive, you are ready for some ice cream for sure even if you had that dessert crepe.) Sometimes you can go home again (restaurant-wise).“
