Empire Bar offers a pleasant happy hour experience with a variety of cocktails and professional bartenders. The bar is well-stocked, and they can make a range of drinks, including a Ramos Gin Fizz. The restaurant has vegetarian options such as salads, seafood, and non-meat dishes. While it is not particularly kid-friendly, it is fully accessible to wheelchairs and has some free street parking and nearby paid garages.
The restaurant has a unique menu, and the staff is accommodating and willing to work with dietary restrictions. It is recommended to ask for Lionel for advice on food choices. The pork chop is a must-try. Although the food is generally good, there have been some complaints about the blandness of certain dishes, like the duck leg, and the texture of the potatoes. The cocktails and wine list are generally well-regarded, but the wine recommendations may vary. The staff is friendly and may provide complimentary desserts for special occasions.
Recent reviews highlight excellent service at the bar, especially from Antoinette, who is praised for her knowledge and attentiveness. The food is described as amazing, with some visitors saying it's impossible to finish all of it. The overall dining experience is highly recommended, with one reviewer emphasizing that Broussard's is a top choice for a memorable meal in New Orleans. Live jazz music and gracious hosts like Monique and Lionel contribute to a warm, welcoming atmosphere, making visitors’ first trip to the city truly special.
