I visited Ethel's Creole Cuisine, and the staff was so kind and accommodating. The ambiance was great. The food--oh, the food is soooo good! I'm a big foodie and love Creole food; everything on the menu was excellent.

they really should take the creole out of their name this place's customer service is terrible for the price of their food and their food is truly dry ! they truly lack accountability and they care less to make up for their bad habits and rudeness it gives its their house and not a restaurant vibes

I am new to creole food and the food was very good. Loved the spices! We sat downstairs, they have an upstairs dining room that must open when they're busier. We got the last table before having to wait to be seated. Food was great, service fast and the drinks were well-made. I would come back! I should point out the sodas are not complimentary refills. Somehow my friend had $14 in sodas. Kinda weird and when we asked, they pour Cocola from a can. I prefer fountain when dining out. But still, $14. +tax+gratuity. I didn't take off a star for this. It's a solid 4 star (not fine dining) experience.

I recently had a disappointing experience with a food establishment in the Mount Washington area. I called to place an order for creole food but was met with extremely rude and disrespectful behavior from a member of the staff. I attempted to order two servings of jambalaya, but every time I tried to place an order, the person I spoke to was condescending and dismissive.When I attempted to order baby back ribs, instead of being polite and informing me that it was a dinner item, the gentleman was incredibly impolite, stating that I couldn't have it without any explanation. After some consideration, I called back to express my dissatisfaction and left a message. However, the response I received was unprofessional and unapologetic. About 30 minutes later, I received a call from the same rude individual, and when I voiced my concerns, he abruptly hung up on me.The level of disrespect and rudeness displayed by the staff at this establishment is unacceptable. It's clear that this is not the place to go if you expect to be treated with basic courtesy and respect. I sincerely hope that the staff of this establishment improve their mannerisms and customer service in the future.

This is one of my favorite neighborhood spots. Strong drinks and great food. Collard greens, crab cake, cracked pineapple, all great choices. Space is a little small. Tables are tight and don't give much space , but even with that , I keep going back!!! Great music, positive environment, i Love this place!
Day 1 Dessert only! Strawberry Mango bread pudding. Delicious I will be back for

This was our first time at Ethel's. It's quite small, so the noise level is a bit high. But, that didn't matter. The service was excellent and the food was exceptional. Pricing is about what you might expect, not cheap but not over the top. I would definitely recommend Ethel's. And, we'll certainly be going back again.

I was part of a party of 5 and we were there for the dinner service. We sat upstairs and we were the only ones and we didn't mind! The restaurant is an older place but was charming with the lights outside and the colorful decor inside. Everyone enjoyed their food immensely. Most drinks were good, we had 1 that was a miss but they later ordered a sangria after that and all was well. Our waitress was very pleasant. The highlight of the evening was the strawberry mango bread pudding!!! DELICIOUS (bonus, it is served warm AND with a scoop of vanilla ice cream)

Chef Ed Bloom came and greeted us!! We said we'd make his place famous!! Anyhow, his food is amazing!!! Started with cucumber salad and cornbread! The honey garlic chive butter that goes with the cornbread is amazeballs!! Salad was standard fare. Also got a side of greens - delicious and well seasoned with no stems!! Along with their home made scotch bonnet hot sauce!! So yummy!! Husband ordered the creole seafood bost and I ordered the rockfish . We had already eaten too much but ate it all. The seafood was perfectly cooked and delicious in a tomatoes sauce base and the fish has crispy well seasoned skin! I wish there was better win selection and my husband wished for better beer selection but it was fine for what we're eating! We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place if you something southern in your mouth!!!

This was my first time visiting the establishment. The atmosphere was great, and the service was wonderful. Hats off to the chef. The food was awesome. You have to try the cornbread with the honey and chive butter. I had the cream of crab with chunks of crabmeat. I also had the shrimp jambalaya. Overall, the food was really good. Will visit again.
