Wonderful service, food is top notch and it has a great ambiance. Unapologetically upscale, it is exactly what you think of when you think of a classy restaurant.

Every single thing was great, from the toasted goat cheese on the beet salad to the filet mignon being perfectly cooked (and so easy to slice it was like butter). The servers were friendly and super attentive, and we didn't feel packed in. There was lots of room between tables overall a very great night and a wonderful staff. I also forgot my umbrella. I came back the next evening and they still had it waiting in the front for me!

We have always had an excellent experience here, but not this time. Took 40 minutes for us just to get our drinks. Service was incredibly slow. We were without water several times and had to keep asking for refills. We were told at the host stand that the server was new. The patrons would have been better off if she had not been put on the floor by management during Mardi Gras weekend.

The ambiance was perfect for Valentine's! We were also celebrating my husband's birthday! The staff was amazing & very knowledgeable about the menu options & recommendations as well as the actual establishment itself! The manager was personable and funny! We felt like we were at home! W/ that being said, the food was A-1, 5-star, impeccable! Go taste for yourselves!

We really had a great time. The staff was absolutely fantastic. Quick thanks to Taylor, Chris, 2nd Chris, David, and Sheree. We came earlier than our reservation, and sat at the bar. Drinks were excellent and they were very open and welcoming. We sat down for our reservation and Sheree was our server, and went above and beyond to help us out. My wife had the red fish and I had the pork chop (along with brussel sprouts and oysters for appetizers). The food at Broussards was so VERY good and the staff made the experience that much more. We will certainly return, and want to thank everyone who made our night special.

We had a very nice Valentine's Day brunch at Broussards. The cocktails were delicious and the food was very good. The service was exceptionally personal and pleasant, despite the fact that the restaurant was very busy. There was a jazz trio rotating through the restaurant which made things special. The back patio is nice, provided there is good weather.

We were seated in an outdoor tent that hadn't been bussed from a large party. We waited for 49 minutes until a server came. Still no table settings. Asked to move to an indoor table, finally ordered food. Manager very apologetic. Food was good. New waitress very nice and helpful. I would not recommend restaurant if on a busy weekend.

DONT GO TO BROUSSARDS. Ever. One of the worst fine dining restaurant experiences I've had in New Orleans. Arrived at 801 for our 8pm reservation and told a few minutes for a wait. Turned to 10 minute then 20 then 30. Asked the hostess if we could get a round of drinks while waiting as she said they were clearing our table for a third time. Couldn't get served at bar! We sat at 835 without drinks. Waters came at 845 and our drinks arrived at 9:05. I requested that they be comped due to the table wait and slow delivery. We ordered shrimp remoulade and turtle soup. Our server Keith brought out my soup but said the remoulade was still being made. The only thing that required time to prepare was the tiny slice of fried tomato which arrived 4 mins after my soup. We ordered duck and redfish. Both were good however I want to note I've never ordered redfish from a restaurant in Louisiana and received what looked like a rectangular cut of mahi mahi or sea bass. Redfish usually comes out on the skin or a whole filet. Lump crabmeat was slim pickings at best. We declined dessert. The manager came by towards the end of the meal and I noted what a horrible experience it had been. He said “oh” and went to touch other tables. We received the bill and were charged almost $5 (percentage fee) for credit card which is not posted online, in the drink menu, or on the main menu. I asked that this be waived and was told no. We watched a girl in a trashy skirt orange around in the lobby. We saw people drinking canned beer from their backpack coolers and there was obviously no dress code. We also watched half the dining room sit empty from the time we sat down with several tables remaining dirty. Either short staffed or no one cares. While I know it's Mardi Gras and 100 feet from bourbon, enforce the dress code and fine dining standards. Poor management was quite apparent. We watched multiple tables of presentable and well mannered adults seem disheveled from what was a horrible experience.

Had a 7:30 reservation and did not see any food until after 9pm. Appetizers came out cold. It was over two hours until our main course came out. Great food but not worth the wait and extremely slow kitchen, considering other options in the area that do it better.
Elizabeth
Everything was wonderful. They were very accommodating as we decided last minute to sit inside. The meal was great and so was our waiter!
Whatever you do, have brunch and enjoy the amazing hospitality. Food, service, and vibe is a must for any visit. You will not be let down!!!!!

We celebrated our anniversary the last 13 years because of the personal service we get from Javon and Lionel They are by far the best waiters in NOLA Aways professional and polite Plesse ask for them
Casey
This was our first night in NOLA and our first dinner reservation turned out to be a mess. Last minute I booked this and we got the last table for the night. Even with that said, the staff couldn't have been nicer; the food couldn't have been better. It was absolutely a meal of pure perfection from every aspect. Thanks goes out to their awesome staff for making the start of our trip one for the books!!! Highly recommend to all

We had a reservation and arrived promptly, but still were left waiting several minutes for a table in the half empty restaurant. The reception when we arrived was tepid at best. Finally, when we were seated, it was way off in the back in an otherwise deserted rear section instead of with everyone else in the main dining room. Our server came back twice after taking our order to confirm that he had the order correct. We hadn't made any modifications or special requests, so that ended up being a bit of comic relief that he just wouldn't write it down if he couldn't remember. The food was tasty and came out quickly, so that was definitely a plus. The jazz portion of the brunch consisted of three very friendly gentlemen going from table to table playing requests. Since we were exiled to the back room, we got to hear exactly one song, the one they played at our table. It was one of those experiences that was overall okay, but not special enough to make a trip down to the French Quarter and pay to park for it.

Fantastic service and atmosphere. Our server Alisha was fantastic. Norman was so nice and showed us around ♥️
