Delicious food, knowledgeable staff and bartender, welcoming front of house staff. The chicken BLT was amazing and portions were great for the price as well.
Our food was great and the Curio staff were excellent! They were very busy, so service was really slow. Overall, we had a great experience and I would recommend this restaurant!
We kicked off 2026 with brunch on New Year's Day. What a great idea! The coffee, french toast, grits, and breakfast meats were delicious. It was the best food we had in the 3 days we spent in New Orleans. Five stars!!
Great place, location & good food. Kitchen was very overwhelmed & backed up. Server was fantastic.
Although the food was good service took forever and it was not crowded. Unsure if it was because they were short staffed. There is not much ambiance as we sat upstairs.
Our reservation was 6:30, Christmas Day. The waitress was attentive, but the kitchen was very slow with the main course coming out just a few minutes after the appetizer arrived. Also, the place was very noisy, even with a few empty tables. The food was ok, not great.
We waited for nearly two hours for just two small dishes (omelet and etoufee), and they were just okay; the omelette was very salty. The server said they had an entirely new kitchen staff, which was the cause of the delay. It was freezing cold under the AC. It was a hangry experience. Maybe it was because it was Christmas Day.
Great service, good food, nice ambiance! We went on Christmas Day and the place was very busy. Our server was very nice and went above and beyond. She regularly checks in on us to find out if we need anything and to let us know the status of our order. She also gave us free mimosas while waiting. The host was also very accommodating and the rest of the staff were very pleasant. We'll definitely come back again when we're in NOLA!
I ordered the Reveillon menu. The food (fish in my case) was excellent. 4 course meal for $55. My server was very attentive. I ate in the ground floor bar area because I can't do stairs. It was pretty loud and not a great look. Plenty of folks went upstairs but I can't tell you what that's like. Try it.
Enjoyed our dining experience. Had the best server, Brent, who was not only friendly and jovial but was helpful in answering questions we had about NOLA. The cocktails were great and the food was good as well. If we return to New Orleans we definitely will be back at the Curio.

The Revellion menu was delicious with very generous portions! Since it was my husband and I we got both options for each of the four courses. All were a hit. Great value for a wonderful meal.
The shrimp and grits were the best I've ever had! Server was fantastic and witty, had a great experience.
We had the Reveillon menu and it was great! We sat upstairs as the wind was blowing in the downstairs bar/dining room. They were out of their crawfish pasta but redfish was delicious and we had to get a go box! I don't know how we've missed this gem but we'll go back!
What a fantastic brunch find. Our meals came out hot and efficiently. Wendy provided us great service, and we had a great time. Highly recommended.
Stopped by for dessert and had the bread pudding. Where it was soft it was tasty but the outside of the slice we were given was pretty hard sort of like something you would microwave too long. The worst part was the cost of a small beer Abita. It was $9. I’ve had 22 oz Abitas for $10. Just not worth going back for me.
