We ordered the turkey club and naked fries. The sandwich was $15 which is quite expensive for a sandwich. The fries were about $5-6. The sandwich was good but not $15 good. It was dry and I wish that they included additional condiments for the customer to add. It boasts having a tarragon mustard but I could barely detect any mustard or mayo on the sandwich.

The layers could’ve also been spread out more and we got a giant chunk of everything in the center of the sandwich and had to move it around. It comes with a small side of pickled onions and thinly sliced bread and butter pickles. We didn’t eat the onion but the pickles really made the meal. It needed more of that as there weren’t enough for the whole sandwich.

The fries were plentiful, fresh and delicious. Overall, the experience was ok but the prices are absurd for what you get.

This spot is such a treat during the workday. The ever-changing menu keeps choices interesting while maintaining the same high standard every visit.
Quite the view and atmosphere too!

We ordered some food to go to enjoy in the park - it was surprisingly good! Cuban and the shrimp bowl were both delicious and with good quality ingredients.

The vegetable panini with goat cheese was sooo good! Same for the ice coffee. Glad they use real glasses and dishes!

We were visiting City Park and found this little gem of a restaurant situated within NOMA. You can either go through the front entrance of the museum to access the restaurant or you can use a side entrance.
The food was delicious, I had the Spicy shrimp poke bowl, grandson had the chicken strips and fries, my son had the Korean beef bowl and my daughter in law had the Cuban sandwich. All of our food was fabulous, the bowls were colorful and well balanced. My only wish for the Shrimp Poke bowl is more sauce and a little more spice. My son enjoyed the beef bowl but it could use a little more beef. Otherwise the food was amazing. The surprise for me was the kids chicken strip meal. I could look at the fries and tell they were going to be delicious and I was right. They were awesome! And the chicken strips were fried to perfection the coating on the chicken was light and crisp. We all enjoyed stealing fries off of my grandsons plate! Lol! The Cuban sandwich was meaty and filling, you can't miss with anything that you order. We didn't get a dessert but the ones we saw looked decadent. When I return to New Orleans I will make a beeline for Cafe NOMA, it was a very pleasant surprise. The atmosphere was relaxing, the setting is light and airy. Service was fast and tables were cleaned quickly after use. The servers were efficient, not the friendliest crew but helpful enough.

Notice: order your food at the cash register first, and then find a table for them to bring your food out to you! My group and I assumed that this was a traditional restaurant, and were very confused initially on how seating is (plus no one really tells you this). Ordered a shrimp poke bowl, some pastries, truffle fries, chicken sandwiches, and some drinks. The food was pretty decent for the price, and the poke bowl was fresh along with being a pretty big portion. Half of the staff were standoffish (unsure if they were racist or just didn’t want to be here), while others were actually pretty nice. There was one specific waitress who was rude to my group (I didn’t catch her name but she wears purple lipstick) and I didn’t really care for her service. The food and drinks were good, however the overall customer service was subpar and I would likely venture elsewhere.

Spicy shrimp poke bowl was delicious. I really enjoyed it. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. I paired it with the cucumber lemonade. That was also very good. Not too sweet or tart.

The food and the service was really wonderful. The servers and chef accommodated my child's allergies and we had a really awesome lunch. This was one of our best dining experiences in all of my visits to New Orleans. I highly recommend the Cafe Noma and the museum in general.

Open space with very high ceilings. Food was surprisingly good. Cocktail was very strong mainly because glass used is very small - recommend using a larger glass. There was an African American waitress there whose loving and respectful manner of speaking made our lunch experience really excellent.

Great place when at New Orleans Museum of Art or visiting City Park. Ordered a cookie with our drinks. The cookie was placed in a paper bag with two open sides. Cookie ended up on the floor. May I suggest for you to serve food on plates including cookies! Especially on a lovely venue like yours this will be more appropriate. Thanks!

I wasn't expecting this quality of food.
The brioche bun was homemade, the fried chicken too (chicken thigh). Even the pickles were homemade!
It's worth every penny.
