“The food, service and atmosphere was incredible!
I am gluten free and I had the Blackened Red Fish.
Our group was seated incredibly fast and they have enough room for big groups too if you don't mind be separated! We had 12 and were seated quickly!

10/10 🥰😁
Gluten Allergies Peeps-
I highly recommend if you are sensitive to gluten like me ~to just order anything grilled and nothing blackened or order maybe the sausage and red beans & rice!

We had 12 in our group and the food was awesome and they loved their choices for dinner and everyone's food looked delish and they said it was delicious!
**Now, even though I got sick from something, I am still going to say it was absolutely delicious, if you are gluten free just order grilled not blackened just be safe!**

They served huge proportions too!
Also, a thought ....
I may not have been sick from the blackened seasoning... we had been doing alot of eating out ~ it could have been other places and not the fish.. so I say with precaution- just be aware!

The food was amazing!
The waitress who served us was amazing, sweet and patient!
We gave her a great tip because she deserved it!
The hostess may have been a grandma because she was the cutest petite woman & she was absolutely delightful too!“

“Tonight was our third trip to Fausto’s and our third great experience. All three of us had veal dishes and split a Caesar salad. Everything was great. We highly recommend Fausto’s.“

“We did not make reservations and they were booked. We sat at the bar for an amazing meal. Our meal was not rushed, the service was amazing, and it was a special celebration! Thank you for making it special!!“

“Step back in time to the classic crooners era. Exceptional customer service. 1pm on Thursday, driving down St. Charles passing the time until I needed to be some place, passed this little gem and decided to pop in. I was immediately greeted and sat by Mr. Otis. Promptly bringing water. Mr. Georgio informed me of the availability of fresh softshells, and took my order. Sitting by the window watching the beautiful streetcars going up and down St. Charles. There was a few people in the restaurant but it was a whole vibe. Meal was fantastic. I watch a sweet older couple ask Mr. Georgio about the street car, he walked the couple across the street and give instructions on what to do. Absolutely suggest taking the time to visit. Two guests, appetizer, 2 lunch specials, water and tea bill was in the mid $60s without tip.“

“Obviously my favorite restaurant!“

“Perfection= from the cozy and fun vibe, to the warm bread/butter, to the wine selection, artichoke appetizer, classic fettuccine alfredo, top notch bartenders/wait staff and Tony, taking time to welcome each customer. I visited two nights in a row and will return every NOLA trip! Thank you Vincent's team!“

“What a cozy place for a great meal! We had the house salad and the house pizza and both were fantastic, but what really made our experience great was Ace. Ace is one of the best servers i’ve ever had, he was friendly and helpful and never let our drink go unfilled and did it all with a huge smile. I will be returning here specifically just to sit with ace and enjoy some excellent food.“

“By Far the best food we have eaten here in New Orleans so far!! Highly recommend! There were 6 of us and every one of us loved our plates. They have a variety to choose from and the portion sizes are huge! Not to mention the great service! The waiters and waitress are the best!!! If you’re here in New Orleans don’t miss out!!“

“THIS PLACE IS LEGIT!!!! Living most of my life in the Philly/South Jersey area I say from experience this place would absolutely stand up to Northeast pizza. What was even better than the food were the people who owned/ran it. We didn’t realize they closed at 2 for lunch but they never made us feel uncomfortable at all. They were absolutely fantastic from the second we walked in to the moment we left. I felt like I was back home for lunch today. This is by far the best pizza we have found in the south. Also go birds 🦅!“

“Shout out to the entire team at Two Tony’s. My son and fiancés rehearsal dinner was outstanding. Mr. Tony and his team are the best. Great food and excellent service. We had a party of 30 and everything was PERFECT! I highly recommend them for your party. Very reasonable prices as well.“

“We eat at Olive Garden restaurants frequently. The food was superb and even though it was a Friday evening the wait was minimal. Parking however was a trial. You can park in a large open lot across the driveway, so that’s a good option.

Our waitress was superb and kept our glasses, salad and breadstick baskets full. We left full and happy. Highly recommend.“

“Friendly employees. I had my driver come in at the recommendation of a friend, placed an order of the roast beef po-boy to go. Service was quick. Food was hot and good.“

“We so enjoyed our dinner here! Found it by chance, but we will definitely be back!“

“An awesome time was had today at Vaucresson on St. Bernard in New Orleans after The Breast cancer walk (Sista Strut). The food is amazing. The staff is outstanding, warm, friendly and took very good care of us. The owner was also very sweet, friendly, and share a little history on the restaurant and her family business. If you are looking for some amazing soul food this is the place. Come out and support.“

“This Italian themed restaurant simply does not disappoint on any level. The ambiance, staff, knowledge of menu and the food are all simply outstanding!! I really love the interior design, the warm atmosphere, the soft music playing in the background at the perfect level. Please visit but do not miss out on their house salad with an exceptional dressing (which is also bottled for purchase) and the lasagna! The pecan crusted catfish is also a guaranteed hit.“

“We were over the top with the entire meal. We started with the sampler appetizer and it was amazing. I had spaghetti and meatballs with the Italian house salad and my fiance had the meatball poboy. Everything was amazing and so delicious and the service was excellent. I have looked for an Italian restuarant to please my palate and have been disappointed but NO MORE, Gendusa's has met my expectations above and beyond!“

“Fury's Restaurant earns every inch of its 5-star rating, especially when it comes to their fried seafood. Each crispy, golden bite is a testament to perfection. From the flaky, succulent fish to the plump, juicy shrimp, every piece is flawlessly fried to golden perfection. The seafood is fresh, the batter is light yet flavorful, and each dish is a savory symphony that celebrates New Orleans' coastal flavors. Paired with their welcoming ambiance and top-notch service, Fury's fried seafood is a culinary journey you won't soon forget. A definite must-visit for seafood enthusiasts!“

“Best onion rings around! Friendly welcoming staff. Overall great experience!“

“5 different meals between 6 of us and all of the food was fantastic. The service is top notch. I’d definitely recommend going. I’m going back 100%“

“We recently had two huge tables reserved. The food was amazing and the service was even better. I highly recommend dining at the Brick Oven. Booking, communication, food, drinks, and service were all top notch!“

“I stopped in to try a few drinks at the bar. They were TO DIE FOR!!! But nothing was as good as the service!! I ended up sitting at the bar for a couple hours and trying a few appetizers, my favorite was the meatballs!! I will definitely be back, I still haven’t stopped talking about this place!“

“My second time at this place. I love the atmosphere. You are greeted when you enter the place and when you are leaving out. The waitresses and management is so nice and polite. The food is amazingly so good. It's hard to get good service but this place is so great at it. Love this place if I could give it 6 stars I would.“

“they have great food, the best roast beef po boy I've ever had. I also really like the chicken parmesan and the veal parmesan. the plates come with salad vegetable and bread very large portions. it is definitely worth the drive if you do not live in the neighborhood. they also have a nice selection of beers in the cooler“

“We have been to Sophie’s for dinner and lunch. We have always enjoyed our experiences. Great food and atmosphere!“

“We are forever customers! Not only is the food amazing and the staff top notch, East of Italy goes out of their way to accommodate guest. We wanted to book a party and they went above and beyond to make it happen. Our son’s celebration was everything and more. We haven’t had a meal we didn’t like. The food is always fresh and ANY type of bread from here is heaven sent! I“

“I can’t lie this place shocked TS outta me in terms of location it wasn’t bad it’s just from the outside in the area I thought it wouldn’t amount to anything fr someone had actually referred me here. The people were extremely helpful and kind. I tried a few different things from their set menu 2 days in a row! Overall the chicken and spinach Alfredo pizza was a 10/10 and when I come back I’m going to be returning 😘😘😘💛😍🤏🏽🤏🏽“

“Honestly some of the best food I have tried. Their bagels are so good! The homemade tomato sauce and meatballs are to die for. The subs I can't wait to try them all. My favorite so far is the chicken toscani and the broadway. The portions and subs are huge and the prices are great. I can't wait to try more.“

“Love visiting A Tavola! Food is always amazing and their wine selection is very large. Savannah is so pleasant and offers great recommendations.“

“The food was spectacular and the chef and staff made my Mom’s Birthday extra special. I highly recommend……delicious!“

“This is top tier dining in a more relaxed setting. It’s the perfect mix of formal and casual dinning. The food was nothing short of amazing, very authentic and fresh. The service was great. This is easily one my favorite restaurant in the New Orleans are.“

“Excellent service. Food was amazing. Hot and fresh. New favorite in Harrahan. Old favorite when in Metairie.“

“After getting into town late and checking into my hotel(Hampton Inn directly behind the restaurant), I realized how hungry I was. It was relatively late for dinner but I checked out Ditali's menu, saw that they were still open and decided to order the Calzone. I ordered online without any issues. Maaann....was I in for surprise. One of the legit best meals I've had in a long time! The portions are huge and the marinara was excellent! The staff were very friendly and were very helpful when I picked up! I will most certainly be recommending and dining with Ditali's again!“

“On our first visit in Marrero, Jasmine was our waitress. My husband has to have limitations with his food choices. No problem, Jasmine helped with suggestions and the cook prepared it perfectly. Now on my 2nd visit, Jasmine not only remembered me but asked where was my husband. She not only remembered us but what we ate. As I dined alone, she went out of her way to make me feel comfortable! And then as I placed a take-out order for my husband, she had suggestions due to his salt restrictions in his diet. What a memory! In my life, I have NEVER met anyone with such a remarkable memory - and she is so kind and helpful. We will be regulars now. Jasmine - here we come. Thank you for helping us so much!!! And thank you Olive Branch for brightening up the Westbank ❤️“

“I just had the best lunch at this Cafe. Outstanding service and food is excellent. Will go back every time I'm in the area. Thank for your service. RJ Escoe“
