I wish I could give The Kingsway a 5 star review. There are so many things they got right. With a few tweaks, I think they could be the next best restaurant in New Orleans. The atmosphere top notch! You can tell so much thought went into this renovation. The crab and Brie soup- to die for! I would recommend going just for this, honestly! The service- every staff member we asked questions to had answers from the server to the buss person, which in my opinion, goes a long way. However, the ABC chicken was very dry and underwhelming. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and beautifully plated, but too small for a main course. The key lime pie was one of the best I have had, but there was a large chunk of lime pulp found in my slice.

Takeaways:
This place is stunning! I would highly recommend trying it out. The flavors and heart and soul of the food is there. Just needs a little fine tuning for the $$$.

Hit and miss. Some amazing dishes and drinks were stellar but some fell flat. My main was tasteless and left uneaten to get and cold. By the time we were checked on my company had finished their dishes and we were already on to dessert. Could be 5 stars with some effort.

The food is good, but pricey. It's $92 for a prix fixe dinner of 4 courses. The pictured soup was outstanding.

We celebrated my boyfriends birthday here tonight and we are so glad that we did. Everything was incredible. I didn't get as many pictures as I normally would because I was soaking it all in. It was so cozy, from the lighting, to the lush green plants, and the delicately placed flowers at each table. It was such a treat to enjoy all the flavorful dishes.
We started with Groth Cabernet Oakville which was juicy and fresh, and the old fashioned has to be one of the best we've ever had. The crab, brie, and champagne soup was rich, warm, and the chili sauce made it pop. Like a hug from grandma.
So much flavor in the refrigerator noodles. Refreshing, and the black garlic was out of this world. ABC chicken had so many layers of flavors and could have been its own meal entirely. If you like fried shrimp you cannot go wrong with the salt baked shrimp, on a bed of veggies and so delicious. It definitely got better with the Duck Breast à L'Orange & the Izakaya Steak. The flavors, the presentation was all on point. Even the desert were beautifully placed and so tasty. Thank you all for an incredible evening. I can't wait to try Saffron next.

The menu, food, drinks, and service were outstanding here, but we thought the music could have been softer and more mellow, and the prices were high. We paid, including the tip, almost $750 for a table of four, having one cocktail each, the prix fixe dinner menu, and a bottle of one of the cheaper wines on the wine list.

The evocation of Chef Ashwin Vilkhu’s childhood memories shines through perfectly on each and every plate, ensuring a truly memorable experience. Each plate is beautifully presented, with appropriate portions served at perfect temperatures. Each savory dish has wonderful umami, and the desserts are delicious and balanced. The service is attentive and unobtrusive, and the courses were timed perfectly. The table settings are welcoming, and the restaurant space makes one feel as if they are in an uptown NOLA home.

I highly recommend The Kingsway for a truly incredible dining experience!

This was my second time dining at Kingsway, and once again, it blew me away. The tasting menu is brilliantly done — not limiting at all. Each visit felt like an entirely new experience: the first time I chose mostly seafood, the second time I chose the incredible duck and lamb. Both meals were fabulous, creative, and beautifully plated.

The decor and atmosphere strike that perfect balance: stylish and elevated, yet still warm and approachable — you feel special without feeling stuffy. The service is just as thoughtful and spot-on.

Kingsway is truly a gem and such a great addition to the New Orleans restaurant scene. Can’t wait to go back for round three!
