The service and atmosphere were excellent (couldn't ask for better)! The food was good (breakfast buffet). Additionally, there is an atrium off the dining room, where patrons may sit and eat. The service and atmosphere are what make this a great breakfast buffet location. It's located inside The Ritz-Carlton (3rd floor).

Divers scallops and drinks were delicious. Our server was attentive, and allowed us all enough space to continue our conversation except when it came time to pay, it slowed down more. Overall I would definitely dine here again.

I thought the food was not as good as it has been in my past visits. They mixed up the order concerning the vegetables but did offer to change it. We were hungry so we declined the offer. I made mention of a Birthday on the reservation but nothing happened, to my disappointment.

This was one of the most exquisite fine dining experiences I have ever had. My husband and I dined here for valentine's day and our server, Chanel, was INCREDIBLE! From start to finish, the entire staff and our girl Chanel went above and beyond. The ambience was superb, the live jazz band was excellent and everything we ordered was absolutely amazing. We left buzzing in an incredible mood because the staff was more than accommodating. I can not give enough compliments to Chanel, and we will most definitely be back and will request her as our server. This is a must for anyone looking to get out and enjoy a relaxing night!

The food, ambience, and music was great. Our server, not so much. Didn't check on us often, we ordered a bottle of wine off the reserve list, she poured the male before female and never poured another glass for us. Left our waters empty for extended periods. We had to ask the hostess to get our check at the end. She was so lazy she wouldn't even walk around the table to fill water, I had to keep asking her to walk around the table where I could hear her, even to pay the bill, she stuck her hand out so she didn't have to walk around to get it. Unfortunate for our visit to the Ritz.

Wow what a breakfast. Tried some barbecued shrimp and grits. Amazing. Had a couple of eggs over easy from the omelette chef. Perfect. Don’t know how she did it. Our waitress was exceptional as well. Very elegant place as well. Best buffet I’ve seen in years…..

The service and food quality certainly were up to full expectations for a five star venue. Had an excellent meal and the service professionals were very certainly that. Enjoyed the whole experience. Thanks to the full staff.
Duygu was our server and she was unprofessional, slow, and focused more on flirting with the table of men next to ours than being attentive to others... We stay at the Ritz every year and have for a long time. We have never witnessed such poor service. It is shocking since everything else holds to the high expectations you have when staying there.
There were so many areas where service was severely lacking here. This is a Ritz Carlton and the ambiance and prices matched but I felt like I could have been dining at a Shoneys. First I had requested a booth but we were shown to a table,which was fine,but there was no proper greeting or mention of my request. Next our waiter had absolutely NO knowledge of the menu. Our water glasses went unfilled and one of the waitstaff kept bumping into the back of my chair as he was rushing around. We are local and were going to a show at the Saenger so it was convenient but there are so many fantastic restaurants in New Orleans where you get proper 5 star service. Ritz Carlton needs to do better if we are to return. Maybe next time we'll just eat at Davenport lounge as the food seems to be the same

The ambience and service is excellent. We ate there for dinner and lunch. The dinner selections were good but the food was bland. It was good but it wasn't great. We ate there for lunch and it was excellent. The fish tacos and the bisque was very good And my friend had the hamburger she said was excellent. For dinner I had the stuffed pork chop and it was cooked good but it didn't have much flavor. My friend had the steak and shrimp and the shrimp was good but the steak also had no flavor. The brussels sprouts from the appetizer menu were to die for. Absolutely must order the brussels sprouts.  I will go back and try to eat dinner there again maybe it was just an off night. Overall, this is a nice restaurant.

Neither of us were happy with our meal. The gumbo was mushy and not hot, and the rice in the paella was undercooked. We came back later and ordered beignets in the Davenport lounge and they were fabulous.

Our family came upon M bistro last minute for my mother in law’s bday. The staff welcomed us right away. The lively jazz music in the lounge spilled into the dining room and we loved it. Our little teo year old did too. Our server, Silvia was exceptional. She was so attentive and delivered above and beyond. Silvia recommended the Cassoulet for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. The duck confit was divine along with the canellini beans. For dessert, we had the chocolate cale with the raspberry sorbet- my fave. This was a wonderful experience for us with a little in tow on a holiday weekend. Silvia made it all the better.Kid-friendliness: The arm chairs were perfect for our toddler who detest the confinement if high chairs. The high chairs were available.

Located on the third floor of the Ritz Carlton, this restaurant has a great menu of classic Louisiana fare served in a classy setting. Immediately adjacent to the Davenport Lounge, the space has a large skylight which brightens up the room to supplement the three chandeliers. For breakfast, I had the crawfish creole omelette and it was superb. Staff is super friendly and would highly recommend.
