Mr. Ed's Oyster Bar & Fish House, French Quarter (Bienville)

My wife and I went to Mr. Ed this past weekend and sat outside on a beautiful Monday evening. The food was delicious, though the service was just okay..our server was polite but didn’t seem very familiar with the menu. Would we go back? The answer is yes.

Stopped in for a quick bite on a pretty busy weekend for the city and found immediate seating at the bar. We were instantly greeted by staff and given waters (needed as we were a little tipsy). I believe at some point everyone working that day stopped to chat with us. The staff here was amazing! So accommodating and friendly. The music was like classic 2000's and all the hits were HITTINGGG and the overall energy was fantastic.

The food was great, too. We ordered some sides and appetizers which were all great.

We had a great experience and plan on coming back for a serious meal since we had such a great experience, though we are a little concerned about the wages for the staff.

This place… I swear, I’m on a roll with these reviews. Of the three restaurants my girl and I have tried while here, this is by far and away our favorite.

First off, the food. This was my first time trying alligator, as they have gator bites here. I didn’t know what to expect… and my expectations were SHATTERED. They weren’t just tasty… they were divine. Then we had fried catfish w/fries and redfish w/jambalaya… absolute flavor bombs. Just perfect. We’re 3 for 3 for restaurants we’ve tried in New Orleans so far. The hurricane drink I had was also very good.

Our server, Brittany, was amazing. Super attentive, efficient and a whole vibe. Whatever y’all paying her… double it. Keep being great, you guys.

I was surprisingly disappointed by the food, I ordered the Cajun Sampler and the rice was undercooked and hard the rest of the meal was cold. Also the air vent was broken and was blowing directly on to our table.

We here 2 times, ordered Creole combo & veggies du jour and red fish grilled with veggies + 2 topping (BBQ shrimp and crawfish etouffee) .
- Price not cheap but not to sky. Value for money. Good portion.
- Food would be 6*, very tasty.

Ordered a dozen oysters iced raw. Only 3 of them didn’t have shells. Had to use a knife to take them off the shells. Ordered tour of New Orleans. Shrimp and crawfish decent size. Had trouble finishing it because just not a huge fan of tomato green pepper onion soup. Music was too loud. Had trouble hearing companion talking. Also had a very loud table of four guys seating next to us.

This was recommended to us by our hotel staff. When we arrived for dinner they didn't have enough seating open for our group so graciously opened another part of the restaurant. They were also kind enough to split our check seven ways despite a policy not to - a policy that seems to be common to many restaurants here. Everyone on in our group agreed that the food and service were terrific.

Mr. Ed's was pretty good. Didn't like the jambalaya, it had a weird wet texture. Red fish was good. Not sure about the stuffing. It was a bit mushy. Nachos were number 1. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. My sister had gumbo that she loved.
