Very disappointed with dinner. Beautiful building, great atmosphere, good food. Probably the worst service I've ever experienced at a restaurant. Our server seemed distracted or indifferent. No service at all. It's a shame because the potential for this restraunt undeniable. In a city with so many good choices, good service is restraunt 101.

Went during Taylor Weekend and had an amazing experience! The bartender Erica made a glitter drink that was absolutely delicious. She knew great places to check out around the city. Will visit again!

I recently visited this restaurant, and it was a total letdown from start to finish. Upon arrival, we were awkwardly pointed to our table by the staff member—no greeting or explanation, just a silent point. After that, we waited 30 minutes without anyone coming by to offer water. When we finally tried to order cocktails, we discovered they didn’t have any recognizable alcohol brands. After another lengthy wait, they brought out our drinks, only for us to find a bug floating in one of them. We waited another 20 minutes for our food, and when it finally arrived, it was disappointing. The plates were never cleared, and the staff seemed indifferent; one of the guys was even wearing AirPods while serving. To make matters worse, our entrees arrived before the previous plates were taken away, and my steak was served completely raw. We asked for a replacement drink, but guess what? Another bug appeared in that one too. At that point, we canceled our entrees and just asked for the check, eager to escape this nightmare. I can’t recommend this place to anyone—terrible service and food that left much to be desired. Save your time and money!

I had an incredible dining experience at the Elysian Bar. Despite a completely packed courtyard, my server was a beacon of enthusiasm and positivity not only with our table, but also with nearly every other table in our view. The place was filled with joy. Hanh handled a busy evening with grace, maintaining a warm smile and incredible attentiveness to my allergies. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she described each dish with such fervor, making fantastic, honest recommendations. The food was nothing short of spectacular—creative, delicious, and expertly created with unique flavor combinations and unparalleled techniques that I haven’t experienced anywhere else. It’s clear that chef is dedicated to his craft. This restaurant has truly left an unforgettable impression on me, thanks to the genuine kindness of the entire staff. I can’t wait to return and experience all of this again

Wonderful vibe but the service was slow and not very knowledgeable. The drinks were yummy but the food was pretty flavorless and very small portions.

In a city as amazing as New Orleans this is a total skip. The interior is beautiful but the service is the worst I’ve ever experienced in any city.
Went on a moderately busy night. Took over 30min to order while seated at the bar. Had to ask several people to check out and took close 40min to finally get the check. Drink was good but not great given the price point. You can experience much better cocktails and service at other places just down the road.

Super interesting bar in a historic church rectory. Very cool vibes and hand crafted cocktails. Only negative is location is off the grid but worth the extra drive.

The Elysian at located in the Peter & Paul hotel in New Orleans and it’s a great bar for the area. Cozy bar with good music, relatively new build out for a New Orleans bar and restaurant. The drinks are made really well and the bartenders are good natured and skilled at their craft. Great place to stop in and have a drink or a bite to eat.
The young man who brought our food, named Dray, was the best! Super gentlemanly, sweet, conscientious . Bartender Eric; amazing!!

Gorgeous courtyard, bar, and parlor area. You really can’t go wrong with where you choose to sit or what you choose to eat/drink. Well-crafted cocktail menu with a bunch of different flavor options.
Dequincy was also one of the nicest servers and provided us with a huge list of recommendations to keep us full on the rest of our visit to NOLA.
