San Lorenzo Restaurant and Paradise Lounge

Great atmosphere, food, and service.

Great hotel, really good customer service

I took my wife here and have nothing but good things to say.
The dining room was perfect for an intimate dinner even though it was quite busy with Tulane graduates.
I loved my steak, cooked to perfection.
A special thanks to Jennifer for taking such good care of us.
We will be back when it's not graduation weekend.

What a wonderful time. First off St Vincent is just gorgeous, this haunted vampire hotel vibe. Our server Chase was so attentive and lovely. We had the burrata, risotto, chicken parm, and tiramisu. The risotto had the perfect amount of lemon, and the chicken parm was one of the best I've had. In terms of price, I felt like the bill was in line with my expectation and experience. I'm a local and treating myself to a very nice meal that lived up was such a highlight of my week.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE

Let's be honest, how hard is it to get 100% quality service top to bottom. These people get it. The energy is incredible. Once you walk through the door you know you don't have to worry. Every asset of this location is worth staying for.
Had one of the best meals I've ever had in the city. Before we were sat, we had drinks at the bar, and the staff was so kind and legit. When we made way to our table there wasn't a moment our table wasn't touched.
There's also nothing bad to have here, honestly. For a table of three, we were served enough for a horse and nothing went to waste.
If you're the type of person that looks at the kitchen, this place is open for your eyes to see. The chef clearly is on point because everything is spotless, organized, and the team functions like a team.
Our service was also incredible. No one missed a beat, from our server, to our busboy, and special shout-out to the manager who clearly saw all the on-goings, made sure our dinner was special, and was super humble about it.
Keep it juicy, crew.
Can't wait to come back ✨

Food was solid. Cool venue and very nice service. A little bit disappointed with the lasagna (which was my main course) but everything else - zucchini things, Caesar salad, burrata were all dynamite.

Brought friends for Friday Jazz Lunch on their first trip to New Orleans, and it couldn’t have landed better. Chase and the team truly delivered as the service was seamless, the food was on point, and the atmosphere struck exactly the right note.

After lunch, we lingered on the courtyard porch, soaking in the music and stretching the afternoon in the best way. It’s the kind of experience that reminds you why New Orleans does hospitality differently.

Safe to say, we’ll be back to San Lorenzo and next time, we’ll be staying at the St. Vincent.

We had a wonderful meal (the garden salad and pastas truly HIT) and excellent service from Dominika. The entire staff from Maddie who welcomed us in to the manager Jen provided my friend and I with a lovely night.

This is a very cute spot with a beautiful hotel setting. The bar attached to the hotel is especially nice, and they offer a small food menu if you arrive before the restaurant opens for dinner at 5 PM. We were there around 4:15pm so we sat at the bar and ordered some arnold palmers (great flavor and very attentive staff!)

Overall, the food was good, though I’d describe it as more Italian-inspired rather than traditional Italian. The squid ink bolognese (black pasta) had an unexpected level of spice, which caught us off guard. We also ordered a Pork Tonnato that ended up being more like a cold pork salad with sauce... it wasn’t bad, just a bit unusual in presentation and concept. The Linguine Vongole (the ones with clams) had a great sauce, but it made the clams taste slightly too salty for what we expected from a wine-based dish. Either way, great flavor!

The Olive Oil Poached Octopus was a standout... definitely recommend that one!!☺️

For dessert, we tried the cannoli and tiramisu. The cannoli was excellent and reasonably priced at $6. The tiramisu ($14) was just okay; some bites tasted off and some tasted extremely sour, so we didn’t finish it. It may have been an off batch, or maybe another inspired - tiramisu not exactly tiramisu taste. I am pregnant so I didn't really wanna risk getting sick from eating a dessert. A little sad bc it was my road trip snack back home!

Service was attentive throughout, our server was great and cared about our overall satisfaction of the food being delivered❤️

The overall ambiance really makes the place worth a visit. I'd come back for the bar scene even if I can't drink (right when you enter the bar smells like fresh coffee) hopefully we go back and get to order some food from the bar (they have burgers and a different kind of menu).

One of the best hotel restaurants in the Lower Garden District/Garden District area. The appetizers were excellent and so were the main courses. We also enjoyed the cocktails as well. And, on top of the food, the drinks were exceptional.
