Ate here multiple times during our stay at the attached Royal Sonesta Hotel. Always excellent service and delicious food. The majority of the staff are grown ups who know how to provide above average service. Had breakfast and brunch. The kids they had at the front door check-in were usually sub-par but we still loved the place. Robert was the fav!

I have been visiting this restaurant since 1996 and all I can say is great things get better with time. The staff is very friendly. The food is always on point and the bloody Mary’s oh my God if you’re in New Orleans, I suggest you visit Desire!

I ate breakfast here because it was connected to my hotel and I had a breakfast voucher. The voucher is good for $24 per person I believe. The food was fine, but not really great. The pancakes were dry. The prices are a bit high, especially considering you have to add everything. Nothing really comes as a meal. I added my grits, added cheese to that. Added whip cream for my pancakes. So for an order of French toast, pancakes, cheese grits, whipped cream (side), and 1 drink was like $50. I understand the price because of the location (on bourbon). But I wouldn't come back for the food. The service was good. Maybe lunch is better.

Whenever we are in New Orleans, this is a must for us to visit. The food and service are fantastic. It is not a complete trip unless we’re having lunch or dinner there highly recommend them

Kind of not impressed with this place, especially for the money it costs. I guess the appeal is that you're eating oysters on bourbon street, but outside of that I wasn't very impressed with the food. It was on the expensive side and a bit underwhelming, there's so many food options in this town that I think you could easily do better for less. Staff was nice
