This is a great date night spot to hang out and grab a drink because of the romantic atmosphere. However the food portions are tiny, bland, and over priced. The staff was slow and it seemed like we were always waiting for something. We were there for over 2 hours even with a reservation. Save your time and money and go somewhere else

The place is beautiful, the food was great but the service is actually so terrible. Brought my aunt here for her bday, we could barely get another drink and did not make it to the entrees and we were there for 2 hours

Worst service in NOLA Started horribly and progressively became worse.
Hostess seated us on the bug infested patio where we sat for 30 minutes prior to being acknowledged by staff. Once acknowledged the server begrudgingly asked who sat us there. We told her the hostess did, at which time she left to confront the hostess and returned 10 minutes later.
My husband then went to the restroom. They have 2 individual single rooms which are shared for the entire bar. Since there are only 2 stalls patrons generally line up along the side wall to wait for an opening. As my husband got in with the other patrons he was confronted by the hostess who said “people can not stand around in the bar area”. However, despite being in the line with others up he was the only person she confronted.
We experienced the absolute worst service and unprofessional staff of any restaurant in the city of New Orleans. And yes of course, The Elysian never has to be concerned with me or anyone I know interested in NOLA recommendations setting foot in this abysmal, bug infested hellhole again.

Went for a late breakfast and was very disappointed. The service was terrible, I’m pretty sure our server kept forgetting about us. It took almost an hour to even get our coffee or put in our food order. The food was cold when we got it. No one ever came and checked on us. Couldn’t find anyone when we wanted the check. We were there for about 2 hours and not by choice, it was just that slow. Our server even came to our table halfway through to say he was leaving because it wasn’t busy, which was kinda weird to say, especially since as it wasn’t busy maybe he should have been doing better job not forgetting our drinks and coming back to ask our food order again bc he forgot what we asked for… I’ve been there a couple times before and it was never this bad. The other server we had was a bit better, but still didn’t come back to check on us for a long time so we just ate the cold food and got the check to leave as soon as we could . The hostess was also pretty rude. Such a beautiful hotel, but not sure if I will be back any time soon.

Charming and chic restaurant/ bar. Cocktails were lovely. One of the cocktails we ordered was topped with flowers and so pretty. All the food we ordered was great. We went as a group and got a lot of things to share and I’m glad we did. The crudo and Calabrian crab pasta were my personal favorites.
We decided to grab a drink from a place we haven’t been to. We walking in and were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the whole experience. The bartender was great. They have a premium selection of liquor that you will not see at your average bar. Definitely a spot to check out!

We came here for brunch while visiting from LA and we loved it! Everyone, including my Midwestern parents. It’s got it all- it’s beautiful, the food was excellent, but the staff was next level. I’m convinced Mokie (sorry if this is spelled wrong) is an angel sent down from the heavens. She is unbelievably kind and gave us an impromptu tour of their incredible event space. She is generous, she is knowledgeable, she is funny. I just can’t say enough about this place and her. Go visit! We will be back!

Secret, Sean, Dom and Dequincy and Dixie were all FABULOUS. The food was delicious, the cocktails were tasty and so cute, and the vibes were immaculate. Will definitely be back! A truly NOLA experience.

the bartender polly was a dolly! sincerely enjoyed every moment of my time at the bar. i tried the “dearly beloved” drink which was wonderfully balanced and tasty — not too sweet, a slight hint of heat. i will be dreaming about the slice of bread that comes with the pickled veggies plate for the rest of my days.
