Excellent restaurant on canal street and worth a stop for a great dining experience.A classic, warm and inviting set-up with attentive staff and a simple refined menu.Excellent food, which was delicious, along with amazing dessert to top it off.
Great food with impeccable service. Our server Dena enhanced our dining experience giving great recommendations and description of menu. Table side bananas foster with a brief history was amazing

The best food on my vacation! The fried oysters, crab cheesecake, fried fish, and bread pudding were phenomenal. Claude was beyond expectations and an amazing server. A must try!

Included a dinner at Palace Cafe as part of a full evening excursion for a corporate group of 40 people. From start to finish, everything was professional and flawless. Stephanie in Sales was responsive, helpful, and thorough in the planning process. Server Nicole and her team were outstanding! Atmosphere was lovely. Bartenders Stevie and Melissa were friendly on point. Courses were timed well and the guests enjoyed the food. Thank you to the whole Palace Cafe team for a wonderful dinner!

From the crabmeat cheesecake, turtle soup, grilled stuffed red fish to the crème brûlée I made another rez yesterday. All in an iconic NOLA building.A mix of local casual and biz casual diners, tourist in shorts and the dress code is smart biz attire.
My wife loves truly fine dining. This was just a late lunch/snack but everything was impeccable.

Simple Storefront style exterior, classy restaurant interior with spiraling staircase. Excellent service, prompt food, preparation, but small portions. I actually feeling I didn't get a good value for the money. But the service and atmosphere was more what I was paying for. I hope you enjoy it, I did. I might come back.
Many years ago, I had the flash fried oysters here. I've been trying to recapture that flavor for a long time. They no longer have flash fried oysters, but the oyster breading is amazing. Second to none is also the gumbo yaya...ahhhmazing.Host was a little snarky, but management came thru and made experience extraordinary. Overall... super yummy. Kathleen is a sweetheart and made it memorable.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Recommend as a must try if you're in the area.
We called a few hours in advance, easily made a reservation for a party of 5 later in the evening.We were notified via text, the table was ready, right before we parked our car. Parking was easy! $5 valet at Marriott across the side street, you can’t beat the ease.Once you’re in, they’re bring you to the prepared table. We were very nervous with the menu, because it seemed unnecessarily complicated. After trying to simplifying for the table, we all made our final choices and none of us regretted it! Our fish choices were the best. The gumbo was also great. The seafood pasta kept my busy all night. No complaints, just compliments in the food.Out server was extremely knowable about the food, and carried himself as a true professional in his field. We watched him cook fresh crème Brulee in front of another table, while trying to meet the needs of his other tables.The ambiance of the restaurant just can’t be beat nearby. It’s definitely a jewel in the city!
Very elegant setting for a fabulous brunch. Friendly and efficient staff with excellent food.
