“Awesome everything! Great service, great food, great brunch ambiance. Coming back every year!”
“We had the turtle soup and pork belly appetizers, and cocktails at the bar with Claire! She was amazing. The smoked old fashioned was wonderful. We enjoyed the atmosphere and we can’t wait to go back :) Ben, Katie and Rick from Lafayette”
“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.”
“🌟 Cane & Table: A Hidden Gem in the Heart of New Orleans 🌟
Tucked away in the French Quarter, Cane & Table delivers a dining experience that feels like stumbling upon a secret oasis. From the moment you walk in, the relaxed ambience wraps around you like a warm breeze—dim lighting, rustic charm, and a vibe that whispers “stay awhile.”
🥩 The Food The steak frites were a revelation: perfectly crisp on the outside, tender within, and elevated by a bold chimichurri kick that danced across the palate. Paired with a fragrant side of saffron rice, the flavors were both comforting and adventurous. And just when you think the meal couldn’t get better, the chocolate terrine arrives—rich, velvety, and indulgent without being overpowering. A dessert worth lingering over.
👨🍳 The Service Five stars, hands down. The staff were attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without pretension, and genuinely warm. It’s rare to find a crew that makes you feel like both a guest and a friend.
✨ Final Verdict Cane & Table isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a mood, a moment, a memory in the making. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this unexpected surprise is one worth savoring.”

“Best overall food experience ever! Every course was meticulously prepared and described perfectly so we could know exactly what we were tasting in every bite. the wine pairings were absolute perfection. Superb chefs, and the entire staff was friendly and professional. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We were blown away on our first visit this morning!! Ryan is a talented mixologist in the bar creating beautiful, delicious and truly unique drinks. Our server Louis was incredibly charming and attentive, giving us excellent menu choices —as it was a hard decision. Every dish was a work of art—both in presentation and flavor. The whole experience was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back!”

“Excellent experience. Highly recommend. We tried almost half the menu, drinks and desserts included. Great all around.”
“Great service, awesome atmosphere and the food is excellent. You have to try the red beans and fried chicken. The chicken is perfection.”

“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.”
“Had an amazing experience eating at Dakar NOLA. The menu was fresh, thoughtful and a great marriage of Senegalese and New Orleans flavors. The service was top notch and because it’s a relatively small restaurant, the atmosphere was intimate and relaxed. Was only passing through NOLA for 1 night and there were so many great restaurants to choose from but I’m so happy I went with Dakar. It was one of my favorite meals ever!!!”
“It’s dark, it’s cool, and they’ll play 60’s/70’s rock gems as the house music. The food is pretty good too. This is my favorite spot I’ve found after several years living in The Quarter. The vibe is perfect. Its the darkness and the music that really makes me not want to leave. It’s rock’n’roll without being a dive. Oh yeah, did I say the food is pretty good too?”
“The chef’s got some serious magic in those hands! Every dish is straight-up perfection. I had the Chicken Majestic, Royyala Curry, and Dum Chicken Curry, and man, the textures and flavors were on point. The prawns? Cooked just right, popping with that perfect taste. The chicken was so tender, I couldn’t get enough. Super welcoming vibes too—overall, just an awesome experience!”

“My first time here in New Orleans visiting heard about the famous Muffuletta sandwich and wanted to try it I picked Verti Marte a quaint but small friendly establishment! The sandwich did not disappoint very tasty huge in size I got mine warmed I will definitely go back when I visit to again 😄”
“Bartenders were amazing!!! ‘‘Twas a quiet ish night but the vibe was right and bartender 1 made me feel at home. Later bartender 2 did as well, as did the male patrons for this queer femme. Bartender 1 knew I had work the next day and made sure my water was filled along with my G&T. 10/10”
“First Aunt Tiki’s experience was about 15 years ago. This year my wife let me bring the kids. My 23 year old and I went to see my Cowboys get beat on Christmas Eve. Love this bar. New and fantastic every time I sneak in. Unfortunately after I left, in the rain, slip sliding over to Bourbon St. I eventually slipped my best slip and fractured my fibula, skinned my knees and scabbed up my forehead. I’m paying for it now but it was an epic adventure. Love all of you there but I’m gonna give the old liver a break for a while. 10 out of 10 if you’re cool!”
“We found this bar by chance while seeking shelter from the rain. It has a quirky theme centered around toilets, which adds a fun touch. Keep in mind, they only accept cash. The drinks here are big and pack a punch, starting at around $6 for basic options. Expect to mingle with a local crowd.”
“We always try to go here when we are in New Orleans. Last weekend we took my niece for her first visit and she left her purse that was filled with all of her makeup. She was so upset because we are 5 hours away and she was starting school this week. I called the next morning and they located the bag and overnighted it to us! What a blessing! That is great customer service.”
“step back in time to a 1950s. hamburger joint. it's a time capsule. love ❤️ the atmosphere. staff was friendly. place was extremely busy. football was very good. in a day were everything is generic and modern. it is refreshing for a baby boomer to find something from the past.”
“I’ve heard the bartenders are great here and this is the place. I went Monday night, the bartender was ugly af. He knocked over a whole glass of wine on my friend and was unapologetic. Then charge my friend $6 for a Water. He said he was new lol We are service industry, we tip. The disrespect is not okay.”
“February 19th, 2020. Husband's 50th. Wanted a Mardi Gras birthday. He went to 'Bead & Boobs' on Bourbon whilst my short self wandered in this bar mid afternoon. I found a bar stool, kicked back and let Houla introduce me to a lovely spiced rum which became my companion the rest of the evening. The bar itself was clean, bathrooms were kept up and had a slappin playlist pumping. I watched drunken drama come in and out: a young couple saddled up and in mid drink the boyfriend realized he was surrounded by gays so he bolted, a gentleman asked me to babysit his darling Yorkie while he drained his snake, but the best was watching Houla superhero himself over the bar to rescue a very intoxicated woman from a total creep. That was legend! Enjoyed my 7 hour stay. Everyone needs to be here!!”
“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.”

“Headed to New Orleans in July, and Sweet Vegan Soul Food will be my first stop after leaving the airport. This will be my third visit to this restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious! The facility is clean and the staff is so friendly. When traveling I’m always excited to locate a tasty vegan restaurant and this place is my spot when in New Orleans! I can’t rave about it’s food enough…simply delicious!”

“Recent dinner at the Jazz Bistro. Food was impeccable. service by server Sarah, was inconsistent and inattentive. Struggled to get her attention to place order. She ignored us for table of six. Surly, rude, unhelpful, no personality. spoke with young manager on duty; he listened, but said NOTHING in response to my concerns.(I identified myself as a former food and beverage manager with Hyatt Hotels and considerable restaurant experience.) Don't expect attention here, even if your needs are minimal. Other staff were charming, which made Sarah look even more inept.”

“I have been sending people to Bar Tonique for close to a year from my position as liquor vault manager at the Sazerac House. So many return to tell me what a great experience they had & to thank me for recommending it. I have left the position at Sazerac House & won't be sending any more from there, Good luck to all the craftsmen & women behind this truly wonderful place!”
“The fancy drinks 🍹 are titillating and the appetizers are fantastic. However, the entrees were not impressive. The chicken was served undercooked and the shrimp dish was overcooked and very greasy. Ambiance is what you pay for here and the delicate mix of intoxicating flavors in their cocktails! Staff is very friendly!”

“Wild South is the best place to enjoy a cozy, delicious meal focused on Southern cuisine.
We went on a Wednesday night the week before Christmas, so it was slower than normal, which allowed us to sit at the chef's table and get unfettered attention from the staff and chefs. We ordered the 5 course prefix menu, and everything came perfectly timed, and perfectly portioned, to the point where we left satisfied but not overly full. I paired this with their Sherry flight, which allowed me to experience a wide range of styles they have to offer.
The first course was an escabeche-esque snapper, eaten in a rice cracker. The second course was an ode to New England style chowder. Both items were not listed on the menu at the time.
We were interrupted by an intermezzo of uni and trout roe topped chicken schnitzel bites, followed by the vegetable course of broccolini, carrots and peppers, topped with a pumpkin XO sauce, and goat creme fraiche.
The main course was a brined and one-week dry-aged pork chop, with radicchio and sweet potatoes.
Pre-dessert was a refreshing scoop of strawberry sorbet, and dessert was a nod to chocolate mint ice cream, but with merengue and toasted sesame, along with Creole cream cheese custard with strawberries and poached carrots.
Overall we had an amazing time, enjoying our camaraderie with the chefs and staff, and would highly recommend going back and enjoying a meal with friends. We will definitely be back when we return to New Orleans.”
“The next time you’re in NO, make a reservation at August! You’ll thank us, I promise. 🤤 FIVE STAR REVIEW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The meal started out with a “gift from the chef.” A savory leek custard, topped with pumpkin mousse and a sprinkle of sweet & salty crunch, presented in a perfectly carved eggshell. We were given spoon bread as well, which was the lightest, airiest and creamiest corn muffin ever to cross my lips. The sommelier told us that the secret ingredient was sour cream. I guess the secret is out now! 😉 Our sommelier suggested Pinot Noir. Monty chose Belle Glos Las Alturas. Let’s just say that we started shopping for it online immediately after the first taste. It has a fuller body than a typical Pinot Noir, so smooth and juicy. Such a perfect pairing. 🤌🏼 Monty had the pecan-smoked venison tartare with celery root and mountain rose apple. The flavors and textures were out of this world! We combined a few bites of the tartare with a bit of spoon bread. Omg, I’ll say it again: Out. Of. This. World. 💥 I ordered the gnocchi "black and blue" with black truffles, jumbo lump crab and parmesan. Tender, yet slightly firm, with a delicate, pillowy texture, but the truffle took it to a whole ‘nuther level! They gnocchi’d it out of the park with this one. For dinner we shared duck three ways with Bayou Cora grits, foie gras, confit, chestnut mushrooms and cherry bounce. Y’all, I’ve had foie gras, but never before like this. An intensely flavorful silky texture that literally bursts on your tongue. It was absolutely divine. Dessert was hummingbird cake with creole cheesecake, bruleed banana and pineapple ice cream. I just don’t know what to say except the pastry chef knows exactly what she is doing!! This was definitely meal to remember with the love of my life, my favorite dining companion, and my partner in culinary escapades. I love our journey of flavorful adventures, seasoned with spice and a love that mirrors the diversity of a well-crafted menu. Here’s to more delicious chapters in our love story, baby, where every bite is a beautiful reminder of the incredible life we share! Cheers!! 🥂🥂”
“My son and I had the absolute pleasure of eating supper at the Mosquito supper Club last night. We drove from Pensacola Florida and it was so absolutely divine. I am originally from Mississippi and my entire life I have eaten gulf coast seafood. Best gumbo, ceviche was amazing, crabs claws yum. Tomato and cucumber salad with croutons. I cannot remember the names of everything. Potato salad with so good with a dash of hot sausage and in the gumbo I have never heard of doing it this way. We chose communal seating and enjoyed talking to everyone at our table. The ambiance of the mismatched vintage silver ware. The beautifully aged house with its milk glass lighting and copper ceiling medallions and aged plaster walls. It was such beautiful experience. The buttermilk ice cream with fig sorbet. Yum.”
“Chophouse New Orleans did not disappoint. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and despite a lively dining room, conversations from nearby tables never intruded on our own. The food was absolutely delicious. The Caesar salad was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of dressing, croutons, and cheese. The steak was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and truly melt-in-your-mouth good. The redfish topped with crab and almonds delivered a wonderfully savory combination that delighted every sense. And the cheesecake, brought out for the birthday celebration, was the perfect finale—rich, creamy, and beautifully presented. It was an exceptional dining experience from start to finish.”

“Our first time dining there and they didn’t disappoint! The service was perfect from the moment we walked in. The waiter was at the table to greet us immediately and promptly took our drink order. They started us off with a complimentary meatball served with a basket of garlic bread and they even put a candle in my mother’s as we were celebrating her 87th birthday. We ordered several appetizers including the crab cakes which were the best I’ve ever had. The beef carpaccio was so good we ordered it a second time and the entrees were equally as delicious. After the meal they brought out a red velvet brownie with a candle in it for my mother and the other tables in our seating area joined us in singing happy birthday to her. She was more than thrilled! We ordered a few desserts to share and the tiramisu was fabulous, in fact it was so good we ordered a second! Needless to say this was a spectacular dining experience.”

“I really can't say enough good things about this place. I started going here roughly 6 years ago when I started grad school at the University of New orleans. It's my absolute favorite bakery. Everything they have is delicious. I literally have never had anything bad at this bakery. The gelato is incredible. The sweets are great. The Spumoni is incredible. The people are incredibly friendly. I've come in so many times by now that they know me. Absolutely wonderful place. It's usually so don't be surprised if there is a bit of a line, but it's absolutely worth it. If you know the right times to pop in, however, you can walk right up without any wait. Prices are beyond reasonable. I will get a box of stuff and it will be around $20. Great place to take a date if they don't mind a little bit of a crowd from time to time. Highly recommend brocato's. I will continue to be a patron as long as possible. I'm literally leaving the bakery now with the bag full of goodies.”
“My favorite bar in New Orleans! Amazing staff with great service, always friendly and ready for conversation. Queer/trans-friendly. Quirky weird shit playing on the TVs. Usually late night food trucks from local vendors, including awesome yakamein, a New Orleans classic.”
“Stopped in for brunch before a show at the Saenger. We mainly chose here because of the convenience, but we’re so glad we did! Food was excellent and staff was very friendly. Our children enjoyed everything too! Mofongo was delicious and I appreciated the mocktail the bartender made for my daughter. 10/10 recommend.”
“Amazing pasta dishes that tickle the taste buds. Portion size is perfect, service amazing with knowledgeable, kind servers. Pasta, elevated. ❤️”
“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%.”
“Izzy is such a great bartender. Very knowledgeable about the menu. She is also extremely funny I couldn’t focus on the amazing food in front of me. I would 100% recommend her to anyone planning on going into Walk-Ons. Thank you Izzy!”
“It’s dark, it’s cool, and they’ll play 60’s/70’s rock gems as the house music. The food is pretty good too. This is my favorite spot I’ve found after several years living in The Quarter.

“This place is a gem in the middle of the city. The suites are awesome, food exceptional but more importantly the staff is top-notch!!! Do yourself a favor and book a stay you will not regret it!!!!”
“The place is very small, and there was a huge group before me so, I knew there was gonna be a wait. but honestly, after I tasted my food, I would’ve waited twice as long.”
“One of the best dining experiences my wife and I ever had. It is a true culinary delight that awakens your taste buds. Braiden was an excellent server who takes pride in his work and it shows! Thank you for a wonderful evening.”
“Wow!!! The best food I have had in a long time. Every thing was absolutely delicious. Service was amazing. Highly suggest everyone should experience this place.”
“Wonderful food in a beautiful setting with great service!”
“One of the best meals I’ve had in New Orleans was at Toups! We had a charcuterie board with their house made hogs head cheese, chicken liver mousse and foie gras accompanied by house pickles. Simply incredible!! The hogs head cheese was the best I’ve ever had! I especially loved the chunkiness of it with nice pieces of tender pork! The crispy turkey necks! Oh my goodness… AMAZING! The braised lamb neck entree was exquisite with a generous portion and crispy spaetzle! Even leftover, it was great!! I also had their pork chop and applesauce cocktail which was creative and also delicious!! I highly recommend this restaurant! Great work Chef Isaac and team!”
“So amazing!! Elevated twists on the dishes!! Great atmosphere, and an incredible experience!! Never disappoints!!”
“LOVED ALL OF IT! Great food, atmosphere, wait staff and Jacques himself! Go. Eat. Love it!”
“It was a very nice way, to end a night out at festivities. I went with a mojito& it definitely hit the spot. Had to try out their version of an elote… not bad at all. I didnt have much of an appetite. My company had the sampler & totally helped myself. Easy to chat & convey. Atmosphere, low lit and inviting”
“One of the best places for dinner in the French Quarter. Thank you for the food and the fantastic service!”
“Anything, I love Commander Palace. I have been there so many times.”

“Un des meilleurs sandwich que j'ai mangé dans ma vie. Je recommande La "hot muffelatta". Un vrai délice !”

“My favorite New Orleans restaurant. The food is always fresh, flavorful and delicious. Frank keeps the menu seasonal and world with what's fresh in the market. New Orleans is home to many fine dining restaurants but none dinner than Brigtsen's. it's friendly, distinguished, welcoming to all. I'm not a fancy person and I've never felt out of place here. You won't find a better place to dine.”
“The food was fantastic and the owner was great! Definitely check this place out for some of the best latin food you'll have!”

I paired this with their Sherry flight, which allowed me to experience a wide range of styles they have to offer.
The first course was an escabeche-esque snapper, eaten in a rice cracker. The second course was an ode to New England style chowder. Both items were not listed on the menu at the time.
We were interrupted by an intermezzo of uni and trout roe topped chicken schnitzel bites, followed by the vegetable course of broccolini, carrots and peppers, topped with a pumpkin XO sauce, and goat creme fraiche.
The main course was a brined and one-week dry-aged pork chop, with radicchio and sweet potatoes.
Pre-dessert was a refreshing scoop of strawberry sorbet, and dessert was a nod to chocolate mint ice cream, but with merengue and toasted sesame, along with Creole cream cheese custard with strawberries and poached carrots.
Overall we had an amazing time, enjoying our camaraderie with the chefs and staff, and would highly recommend going back and enjoying a meal with friends. We will definitely be back when we return to New Orleans.”
“Great unique cocktails, relaxed atmosphere and knowledgeable staff.”
“Really chill and intimate atmosphere.
Great service, very personable vibe to it.
The pizza (Bianca, Supremo) and house salad was delicious. Get a side of ranch and honey, sounds weird but check it out.”
“The fancy drinks 🍹 are titillating and the appetizers are fantastic. However, the entrees were not impressive. The chicken was served undercooked and the shrimp dish was overcooked and very greasy. Ambiance is what you pay for here and the delicate mix of intoxicating flavors in their cocktails! Staff is very friendly!”
“Absolutely excellent all around. Everyone at our table loved what they ordered. The duck special was fantastic. For a memorable meal, you can’t go wrong.”
“Fabulous cocktails. Gorgeous decor and delicious food. Polite professional staff and sumptuous seating. Need I say more ❤️ The “soleil” gin cocktail is divine 🙏🏻 Do it!”
“Been a minute since we’ve been here. But wow it was OUTSTANDING! Service, drinks by Ryan, food was absolutely delicious. Def going back into our reg date night rotation ❤️”
“Cozy ambience with a unique, delicious drink menu. They also offer their kitchen to local food businesses, and the Asian fusion one there when I went was phenomenal. Donavin makes a wonderful drink called “Thank You for Being a Friend” with Louisiana run, almond, passionfruit, and smoky amaro – must try! I was in town for the Home + Garden Show, and Barrel Proof was the perfect unwind!”
“I’m a local who has dined at many N.O. restaurants and Cafe Amelie is my favorite. Charming atmosphere and THE BEST food and drinks!”
“Delightful dinner. Inventive and well executed menu. Hot sausage stuffed dates, grilled watermelon and swordfish crudo shined . Cocktails were tasty and Doc provided excellent service. Will return.”
“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.”
“Went to see their Insane Clown P***y show on 10/11/2024 …. INSANE!!!! My birthday was made better because of the experience. My only bit of improvement would be if they had some drink service for the VIPs as it was difficult trying to head to the bar for an order with all the guest in attendance. Overall … everyone NEEDS to go at least once in their life.”
“What an enchanting experience offering for a Sunday brunch. The decor-amazing. The menu-creative and flavorful.”
“Wonderful wonderful place to have a pastry, speciality coffee, and delicious breakfast! (They also have lunch!) We had some of their speciality coffee, the BearCat breakfast, pastry’s, and the breakfast burrito. So. Good. The whole staff works hard together and I loved the overall experience. Great location, too. The vibe today was fun! We can’t wait to go back.”
“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!!”
“Great ambiance and exquisite food. Joshua made our night very special with his great service. Un lugar muy elegante, tranquilo y lejos del bullicio de la ciudad. Highly recommended 🥰”
“This was the second time I did the “Indecisive Snacks” (like a feed me menu), and I was not disappointed! Their food is all unique and flavorful. Some things I wouldn’t normally order or even think I’d like that ended up being so tasty. The set menu is $65 served family style and they really give you a lot of different things with plenty for everyone to leave full!”
“Sebastian is the best!!!!!!! Ask for him…..he went out of his way to make our wedding anniversary so special and fun!!! The whole restaurant is so fun and the best time! We loved everyone there! I have been many times and every time is such a fun experience!!!! #askforsebastion”
“Cafe Sbisa is kind of a little hole in the wall on Decatur but has the absolutely best Sunday jazz brunch. It’s not super fancy and has great mimosa deals, great food and great music.”
“Great service and food! Staff were really personable and went above and beyond!”
“Been eating here since 2017 and it’s always excellent. Never disappoints. The food is awesome and the service is super fast no matter how busy they are. Try the cheese grits and fried potatoes.”
“Can one of my most beautiful experiences? Louisiana delicious food and very friendly people very kind it really was wonderful to celebrate our anniversary in this place.”
“Modern takes on traditional foods while maintaining cultural roots. I'm not Haitian and I have no experience with Haitian foods. Fritai offers an experience of Haitian culture and food with a modern side. Flavors are delicious. People are real and friendly. Some of the best cocktails in the Southeast: Go!”
Latest Reviews
“To give you a sense of the kind of service and care, the waitress informed us that she does not give a check until asked so that people can stay at the table as long as they like and not feel rushed. The owner is a wonderful character. He makes you feel like family and that is part of what makes the atmosphere so pleasant. Of course it's a restaurant. So it's the food that's most important. I had the grilled fish of the day .I can't recall having a better seasoned and cooked fish. Everything was wonderful. A little quirk is that they do not have hard liquor on the menu. It's available, but don't expect any exotic drinks. We will be returning.”
“Food was fabulous! The atmosphere was quaint! Our waiter was very Knowledgeable, Cameron recommended The chicken shawarma plate It was the best I've ever had. And my husband had the falafel plate and we enjoyed both of them. We would recommend your place to anyone visiting New Orleans! The food the service and the atmosphere Was superb, Thank you”
“Silk Road is a bit off the beaten path, but we were very interested in trying the restaurant. The reviews looked great, but they were old. We are so glad that we ate dinner here. We ate outside as it was a beautiful evening and the inside didn't appeal to us. The food was amazing and the prices incredibly (almost unbelievably) reasonable. Apparently the chef has been there for 10 years and continues to wow the staff with his creativity and quality delicious dishes. We can't agree more. Usually we don't repeat a restaurant when we are on vacation because there are so many to try in a short period of time. This food was so delicious, we will partake again before we leave. As a side note, my husband is gluten free and there were a number of options for him. His red curry dish was wonderful, as was my tikki masala.”
“Celtica has fast become our new favorite breakfast place. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and prices are reasonable. The vibe is a pleasant mixture depending on the time of visit but mostly very friendly mixture of gen x and millennials. The only hang up i have is the available seating, this place needs more seating as it is gaining popularity quickly.”
“I'd like to know why y'all not making that delicious bread pudding anymore! I'm thoroughly disgusted. That is the best tasting bread pudding in the city and she refuses to make it again. Please bring that item back. It was the best in the city! Thanks .I'm not giving 5 stars until y'all bring that gread pudding back.”
“IMHO, in my humble opinion, this is the best bakery in new orleans and maybe in the country - no one has ever baked better churros - add tres leches - and they have my own kinsfolk beat with their italian lemon cream - and they give brennan’s a run with their bananas foster cheese cake. and their beignets are easily better than cafe du monde and have the nod over my longstanding go-to cafe beignet. wow - off the charts - and grazie mille!”
“Outstanding! From the moment we entered until we left (party of 6 celebrating a birthday), everything from the food to the drinks to the ambience were topnotch. I'll return again and again. Our server was attentive and we enjoyed her recommendations and service. Kudos to the chef.”
“I'm 50+ years old. Have been to countless restaurants in the US and mexico (Cancun 12 times) and the meal I had tonight was the best I've ever had. The cocktails were great. The service was great. Didn't wait long because somehow we were the only 2 people in the place. It was a Tuesday, and we did have early reservations. (4:30) Not complaining cuz I was able to lie to the wife and tell her I booked the entire restaurant for her. (Yes, she knew I was joking) Now, the food was amazing. I already knew what I was ordering but saw the menu of small plates that wasn't on the menu online and decided to try those after eating a couple of the appetizers. Enjoyed every single thing I tried and after the wife tossed in the towel I still went for the Cantonese fried rice. I thought I was done eating until I was told what was in the dessert. Well worth the stomach cramps I now have as I write this review. Happily people start arriving as we were leaving. I strongly suggest to anyone who spent the time to read all my gibberish and go to this restaurant.........................FYI, this is the first time I've ever felt like I needed to write a review.”

“We always try to go here when we are in New Orleans. Last weekend we took my niece for her first visit and she left her purse that was filled with all of her makeup. She was so upset because we are 5 hours away and she was starting school this week. I called the next morning and they located the bag and overnighted it to us! What a blessing! That is great customer service.”
“We were extraordinarily disappointed, as long time fans of Antoine's, to hear that they no longer have the Oysters Foch. As an item with which Antoine's has long been famous, we are very surprised by that as well? Also, the soufflé potatoes were different, too papery and didn't have the puff tender interior that made them feel like potatoes instead of a rice cracker. What is going on?? We love Antoine's but these items were signature dishes and now...well, we were disappointed. However, the service and ambience all were top notch! Thank you.”
“Brennan's Restaurant is an exceptional venue for weddings! The timeless elegance, iconic atmosphere, and impeccable service create a truly unforgettable experience. We love performing here and being part of such beautiful celebrations—it’s always a pleasure!”
“We greatly enjoyed our time and meal here. The restaurant has a great atmosphere with an outdoor courtyard and water fountain. But most impressive was the service and the food. We decided to eat here twice during our week’s stay in NOLA. Staff were kind and attentive, while the food was fantastic. (Crab cakes were a personal favorite of our group). Definitely recommend if you are visiting New Orleans.”
“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.”
“My bestie and I visited Monday during Essence Fest Weekend and had the best server Centorrey. She was very attentive and honest from the time we sat down til the time we departed. Her customer service was A+++ Centorrey made coming to this restaurant a joy that I had to see her manager personally and verbally tell him what an amazing job she did. Thank you so much Centorrey and Hadji (Manager) for a great experience. The food and drinks were on point as well just removed those little airplane fans because that do nothing for that NOLA heat. I'll see you guys on my next visit”

“The service was top notch! Our waitress was there exactly when we needed anything and was friendly. We had the Fish and Chips with Mushy Peas (it was a nightly special, we were there on a Saturday, not sure if it's weekly or not) and a pint of Guinness. Absolutely amazing meal! I've never actually had Fish and Chips in the UK, but this had to be on par. It was crispy, flaky, and not at all greasy. The mushy peas were very tasty as well. The Guinness was so nicely poured and smooth. Perfect compliment to the meal! The atmosphere was definitely fancier than I thought, just hearing about the place, but I really loved the decor. It wasn't loud or hectic, just nice and cozy.”
“Went here for my birthday dinner and it was exceptional. Romantic and cozy atmosphere with decor that transports you to Venezuela. The owner helped us order the best flank steak and branzino I've ever had. Definitely try the homemade hot sauce. Can't wait to go again!”
“We had such a nice experience here the other night. Walked in off the street with no reservation and they gave us a lovely seat at the bar. The maitre de and bar staff were wonderful, paying a lot of attention to the experience of the patrons. The food was wonderful, the vibe relaxed but refined, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. A very good option if you’re in the area”
“My friends and I stopped at Sweet Saint today and were served by Kenny. He shared about the locally sourced ingredients and how his ice cream is made on-site. We loved our experience with Kenny and we LOVEDD our ice cream. I would recommend Sweet Saint to anyone and everyone!!”
“Another hidden gem in NOLA. This is your neighborhood’s cafe where one can work or have small talks with someone. My friends and I took the bus there from our hotel (5-7 mins walk from the bus stop) we wanted to come for the coffee and show support , we found the cafe on IG. Personally I prefer cafe like this oppose the big chain coffee shops. I would recommend, the cafe is beautiful decorated and the service was fast and friendly.”
“Another fantastic Emerill’s restaurant. We dined in with 5:30 reservation so we would have plenty of time before the concert at 8PM. We were greeted at the door and welcomed in. Our table was booth style on the bar side. The design of the restaurant allowed bar patrons to enjoy cocktail hour without overflow into the main dinning areas. Although both the bar and restaurant were quite full we could talk in normal voice. Our server Jeremy was excellent. He confirmed the time we felt we needed to be finished as being no problem. The menu is Portuguese with both small plates and entree servings. While we studied the menu I had an excellent glass of Portuguese white wine that exceeded my expectations so I had another with dinner. Jeremy carefully explained each dish we asked about as well as giving his recommendations. He also mentioned some portions were small and the Arroz (rice) dishes were large and for sharing. We decided upon the vinegar potato chips and salt cod fritters for appetizers. Both were outstanding. We shared the Prego sandwich for dinner. The filet was so tender it melted in your mouth. Looking forward to going again to try other dishes. You can expect to pay between $50-$75 per person plus any alcoholic beverages. I highly recommend 34 Restaurant and Bar.”
“LOVE IT. this is my 1st time visiting Nola & I’ve gone to many restaurants..
This is 100% the best food I’ve had since being here. Greek is my favorite food & I can be a bit picky, but this place knocked it out of the park. Friendly service, homemade/authentic food, & they got it out quick!
Very happy to have made this choice :)
They even gave us free baklava!
Please go here👍🏼”

“We were blown away on our first visit this morning!! Ryan is a talented mixologist in the bar creating beautiful, delicious and truly unique drinks. Our server Louis was incredibly charming and attentive, giving us excellent menu choices —as it was a hard decision. Every dish was a work of art—both in presentation and flavor. The whole experience was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back!”
