We had a wonderful Easter Brunch at Cafe Sbisa and the service was top notch. Our champagne and water glass was never empty. We sat upstairs where the band playing wasn't so loud. It was a very pleasant experience!

Was taken to a table upstairs without asking if stairs are a problem( they are.) Sat us tight by the only other table with diners. When asked id we could move we were told the other tables were reserved. Host was rude and scruffy looking. Shrimp remolaude was terrible. Shrimp were small and chewey and eggplant was bland and undercooked. Veal was okay but too much garlic with watery sauce. Bread pudding was really good. Have gone here for years but wont be back.

Food is always good. Strangely quiet on a Friday night....lots of n apkin folding and milling about by servers. But our server, April was fantastic.
Jill
Good food, server was funny, thought there would be live music on a Friday night but sadly not the case.

We took advantage of their Sunday brunch and had a superb experience. We enjoyed listening to some great dinner music provided by a four-person live band while dining over generous portions of our entrees. The food was top notch with it being representative of what you would expect from an authentic New Orleans restaurant. I highly recommend Sbisa's Cafe.

Great food! Great service! Great restaurant! I highly recommend!
We had a great dinner at Cafe Sbisa. Our group had the trout, chicken breast, and prime ribeye, and all were outstanding. The ribeye was as good as any steakhouse in town. Gumbo was outstanding.

Bill was an amazing waiter. Very personable, energetic and attentive. Loved having him and he made our anniversary night very special!

This was, without a doubt, one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had at a finer restaurant. We were really looking forward to a special evening out during our trip, and while the atmosphere was beautiful, the tables felt a bit too close together. The food was decent, but nothing truly stood out. The shrimp and grits were fine, though the shrimp were overcooked. The turtle soup was enjoyable and a fun dish to try, while the court bouillon was a bit too large for one person and, again, just nothing special. What really took away from the experience, though, was the service. As this was meant to be a memorable date night, we were excited, but unfortunately, our server didn't meet expectations. He seemed disorganized, taking our order twice, and when I ordered wine, he incorrectly told me I was wrong. While we understand it was later in the evening and nearing closing time, there were still other tables being served. To make matters worse, he even asked the table next to us if they wanted to order entrees after they had already finished their meal. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and given the combination of the service and food, we won't be returning.
Everything was great. The ribeye was surprisingly wonderful for a place that is primarily seafood/Louisiana oriented. Gumbo was delicious.

Absolutely delicious! Creole cooking at its best and the service is really wonderful, too. One of the few restaurants that still set with table linens, which is HUGE in my book Thank you! Can't wait to come back..........

I had such a great experience at Cafe Sbisa thanks to our server, April! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and went out of her way to help my friend find a meal that worked with her dairy allergy—which is no small feat. It can be really difficult to find truly dairy-free options, but April took the time to check ingredients and offer thoughtful recommendations. Beyond that, she was just a genuinely wonderful person to interact with—warm, friendly, and great at her job. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your server, you’re in for a great experience!

Great food choices. I had the French toast with beacon. I would pour my own syrup, but I loved it, and they served plenty. Service was great for a brunch on Sunday, with a live band playing music at just the right level. Only issues restrooms are on the second floor. It's not a problem for me, but it could be for others.
