We had reservations on a Saturday night, but could have walked right in. The menu looked so good! We ordered a Cajun Caesar, jambalaya, shrimp etoufee and a crab cake sandwich. The salad was excellent. The jambalaya was flavorful - a bit more spicy than I prefer. The etoufee was unique, with a very light roux and quite a bit of corn that overpowered the flavor. The crab cake sandwich was tasty. Service was slow, she forgot one of our drinks, and it took forever to get the check.

Just OK. Two of us ordered jambalaya, and each one had some shrimp shell bits. Another had gumbo and also thought it was just OK. Would have liked my sazerac to have been colder.

Great night out for a group of gals getting together after a long absence. Our waiter was perfect - attentive enough to anticipate our needs, but not so much to interrupt our catching up. We mostly had glasses of wine, although our one cocktail drinker loved her French 75. We shared the Brussels sprout appetizer which was generously sized. Two opted for the shrimp and grits, which was perfectly sized. The jambalaya and shrimp etouffe were oversized and nicely packed up for the journey home. Everyone loved the food. We'll be back!

We ordered the fried catfish and red beans and rice, then pecan pie for dessert. Everything was delicious. Server was friendly and helpful. Great location for ballet as it's right next door to the theater. We would go back!

This place simply does not disappoint! The food, service, atmosphere and most importantly - the way that the staff worked together as a team, was exceptional. Please keep up the great work!

I have to say, this was one of my sons and I 's favorite dinner experiences. What a great menu, New Orleans vibe and amazing location. Great food, great service, great time!

This place is lovely. My mom had a wedge salad with blackened catfish. I had a burger. The burger was great but definitely would get the catfish next time. It was perfectly cooked. That m word people hate but it was “oist”. The pistachio martini was one of the best I've ever had and now I think has replaced the expresso in my book. The beignets were a great ending. Definitely would go back!

My wife and I just tried The French Quarter for the first time. It was casual but charming. I had a glass of their Cote du Rhone and it was quite good. Both our entrees were tasty. We agreed that it was a find and will definitely go back.

Sarah

Not enough waitstaff on the schedule & the food was less than impressive. It was rather bland & not too much to choose from. I would not go back.

Bethany

Excellent all around!! Food was fabulous, service was great, and cocktails were delicious!

Lisa

Very convenient to the Opera House. Food was decent. Three out of four of us were relatively happy with the meal - nothing exceptional, but good. Some of the portions seemed small for the price. Service was excellent. Ambiance was average. Room was full but not very noisy.

Ellen

The food was outstanding!! It was our 2nd time back and have sent many people there. Keep up the good work!

Tom

Awesome restaurant. Delicious food that is not your everyday selections. Cocktails were great. We were late and therefore in a rush and they accomodated us really well. Very friednly and helpful.

This was our first dining experience at the French Quarter yet not our last. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu, both food & cocktails. His recommendation on the Crab toast appetizer was spot on! My husband's jambalaya was a tasty & filling choice. The sarzac & manhattan cocktails were well-crafted.
