“Bob Boudreau and I were in NOLA for 9 nights. Three of the nights we had reservations at other places with family. Our 1st night we looked up and found Jewel of the South.

Great food. Great atmosphere. Great drinks. Great staff. GREAT ALL AROUND! FIVE STARS for Jewel of the South.”

“I forgot to finish my review and post it. My husband and I were in NOLA for the first time, we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, in August 2023. I have a gluten allergy and it was difficult to find authentic NOLA food that was gluten free. I am so glad I found Atchafalaya Restaurant!! The food was absolutely fantastic and they had several gluten free options! Our waitress was amazing. The restaurant was very cute inside and had a lot more seating than it looked like from the outside.”

“Incredible! Flawless service, creative & delicious cocktails, and the food was outstanding. We loved everything we ordered! David was delightful to chat with in addition to being knowledgeable about the food. He provided recs for the city as well which were much appreciated! The atmosphere is buzzy and fun.”
“Truly one of the best and most unique dining experiences I’ve ever had in my life. A wonderful tribute to Senegalese and Creole food. The staff was absolutely incredible — so friendly and knowledgeable. Explained Senegalese transitions and even started the meal with a table side hand wash. They weren’t stuffy either, which can be common at restaurants at this caliber. They really made our experience top notch, and the food was absolutely delicious. All locally sourced and in season ingredients. Will absolutely tell anyone visiting to go to Dakar.”
“I do not have the words to do this place justice. The interior is lovely and very fitting for the French Quarter but the patio is the best! The food is so delicious that I would be happy to eat every meal there. The attentiveness of the staff was incredible - they know their menu (bar and kitchen) and make great suggestions based on what you like not what they are trying to "move".”

“Booked BABs on a whim as part of a quick getaway to NOLA. Was not disappointed! Creative mocktail and cocktail menu. Wonderful beer and wine list. Appetizers were heavenly and exquisite. Entrees were fresh and delicious, while being new takes on American cuisine. Staff was eager to please while not being snide or fake. Opinions were honest and questions were thoroughly answered. We're very guarded of our New Orleans meals when we visit. I won't hesitate to book Bywater American Bistro on our next trip!”
“Bacchanal was recommended by our Lyft driver. We went the last night of Jazz Fest. Our driver was right it was fabulous. The place doesn't look like much when you pull up to the front, but what a surprise when you walk in. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is the perfect New Orleans style place with an amazing vibe. We ate upstairs after picking out a bottle of wine. We had the Gambas(Shrimp), the Patatas Fritas and the Pork Chop. All were wonderful, especially the Pork Chop. It was cooked/grilled to perfection. Maybe the best Pork Chop we have ever had at a restaurant. We were able to hear the band that was playing in the courtyard but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't carry on a conversation. And the prices are very reasonable. We will be back next time we are in New Orleans.”
“Had the most divine time and the staff was amazing. I got to know the owner's children who are amazing young men. They were very welcoming and informative about the history of the restaurant. Had the red snapper with rice and the veggie tray with injera bread. Gonna use my leftover injera for twist-on crepes in the morning.”
“Starters: gem salad and gumboSmall plates: fried oysters, spaghetti (carbonara like, delicious), and baked cheeseMain: duck confit, night special: triple tail with grilled corn and roasted potato, wagyu bavetteService: attentive staffAtmosphere: go early for a quieter experience, as it gets busy after 6:30 pmDessert: banana brown butter tart, flourless chocolate cake, fried apple pie with vanilla ice cream”
“By far my personal favorite restaurant in all of Nola. It’s consistently great every visit! A+”

“Omg!!!! Amazing vibe ! Came for a girls trip today and Shane make our experience AMAZING, he played all the right music, and made us feel RIGTH at home. Been out here a few times and never been. Saw it on TikTok we checked it out, and it definitely exceeded our expectation!Lost one star due to the lavender lemonade machine being broken ? Shane recommended it over ice and that was a GREAT choice! THANKS AGAIN! ???”
“We found this bar by chance while seeking shelter from the rain. It has a quirky theme centered around toilets, which adds a fun touch. Keep in mind, they only accept cash. The drinks here are big and pack a punch, starting at around $6 for basic options. Expect to mingle with a local crowd.”
“I’ve heard the bartenders are great here and this is the place. I went Monday night, the bartender was ugly af. He knocked over a whole glass of wine on my friend and was unapologetic. Then charge my friend $6 for a Water. He said he was new lol We are service industry, we tip. The disrespect is not okay.”
“We made this place a stop on our celebration of my youngest's 21st birthday pub crawl, and enjoyed our visit and drinks! We went upstairs where we could toss some beads from the balcony and had a great drink and chat with the bartender, who gave us some good ideas on other places to visit. Everyone was friendly, the place felt clean, and the atmosphere was great. Thank you for being part of our evening!”
“First Aunt Tiki’s experience was about 15 years ago. This year my wife let me bring the kids. My 23 year old and I went to see my Cowboys get beat on Christmas Eve. Love this bar. New and fantastic every time I sneak in. Unfortunately after I left, in the rain, slip sliding over to Bourbon St. I eventually slipped my best slip and fractured my fibula, skinned my knees and scabbed up my forehead. I’m paying for it now but it was an epic adventure. Love all of you there but I’m gonna give the old liver a break for a while. 10 out of 10 if you’re cool!”
“Great experience at Shaya! Aside from it being terrific, the service was so friendly! What a great place!”

“Headed to New Orleans in July, and Sweet Vegan Soul Food will be my first stop after leaving the airport. This will be my third visit to this restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious! The facility is clean and the staff is so friendly. When traveling I’m always excited to locate a tasty vegan restaurant and this place is my spot when in New Orleans! I can’t rave about it’s food enough…simply delicious!”
“I love Lil Dizzy’s food! The gumbo is like no other. The crawfish bisque is absolutely amazing. The fried chicken is just like my grandma’s. OMG I can go on and on, the Mac and sweet potatoes, potato salad, and so much more! You have to experience this place for yourself.”
“Outstanding authentic Italian food! We were a party of five and everyone loved their entrees while we shared several appetizers. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. One of the entrées had lobster cooked to perfection! There are some great cocktails and excellent choices for wine by the glass. Deserts were too delicious. Service was outstanding and the decor was enjoyable. With so many choices in Nola, this one is very highly recommended!”
“It’s been a while since we visited Plume, but we have always had SUCH a great experience! The food is delicious - my favs include the fried chicken and the naan. If you can’t eat in, the food travels/delivers very well to your house and is still very yummy!”

“We were here in NOLA over the St. Paddy’s Day weekend. We dined at Stanley twice while we were here. We loved the food and drinks we had and Tonya was so very nice and pleasant and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. We will definitely make it a point to dine at Stanley again on our next trip. Don & Perry, Dallas. 3/18/24”
“I just had their home made BOUDIN w/ crackers, Crystal and creole mustard! as good as I have ever had! I met the girl that made it at the meat counter on April 18…she was proud and should be!”
“As someone who has never tried the food from here, I was excited. I ordered my food and it was ready almost immediately. I was extremely pleased with the food they provided. Every employee I spoke to or asked something of while I was there was polite, prompt and accommodating. I will definitely be going back and would recommend any other first time takers to definitely check it out. It's the worth the trip!”
“Made a visit to Smoothie King on St Charles nice location well kept store employees are polite but my order was wrong and all of the PB swizzle in return I'm not sure what I got I noticed Swizzle include strawberries I received none in the smoothie that was at the bottom was very liquidy as if it was over processed I had some type of reddish type of dried fruit I believe or something that I did not expect to be on the swizzle was disappointed cuz my mouth was ready for what I ordered nevertheless I continued home I was on a Time crunch.”
“This Smoothie King is KILLING IT!!!! I ran to grab a smoothie while working on campus at the Tulane Graduation. I ordered, was reminded to use my Friday coupon (Large for $5!!!), paid and received my super delicious (on-sale) smoothie - Caribbean Way is my fav! - within 3 minutes!!!! I was totally blown away by how streamlined they were, and how awesome the staff was at this location!5*! Way to go, SK! ?”
“Raising Cane’s is my favourite chicken restaurant. The chicken fingers are cooked fresh and never frozen. The lemonade is really fresh and tasty and made in the unit from real fresh lemons. The staff is friendly and amazing. Food is prepared fresh when you order it and comes out fast. The special secret sauce pairs well with the fingers and fries. Cane’s specialises in chicken fingers and they do it right. Their tag line “One Love” is perfect and is present throughout your Cane’s experience. With many locations, you’re never far from a unit!!!! Stop in and git ya sum!!!! And bring ya mamma and dem!!!! I love me my Cane’s!!!”
“Had the butter chicken, garlic butter naan and a mango lassi. Everything was wonderful, great flavor and perfectly crisp and airy naan. Lassi was perfect consistency and very refreshing.”

“Best overall food experience ever! Every course was meticulously prepared and described perfectly so we could know exactly what we were tasting in every bite. the wine pairings were absolute perfection. Superb chefs, and the entire staff was friendly and professional. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“From the moment you step into Chemin à la Mer, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of refined elegance. The restaurant's stunning riverfront location provides breathtaking views of the Mississippi River, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. But the true star of Chemin à la Mer is its exquisite cuisine. The menu features a delightful array of French-inspired dishes, each prepared with meticulous attention to detail and bursting with flavor. My personal favorite was the quiche, which is undoubtedly the best I've ever tasted. The buttery crust, the velvety custard, and the perfectly cooked bacon harmonized in a symphony of textures and flavors that left me speechless. Our server, Mandy, was an absolute delight. Her warm smile, attentive service, and genuine enthusiasm for the restaurant's offerings made us feel welcomed and valued. She expertly guided us through the menu, providing insightful recommendations and ensuring that our every need was met with utmost care. The other breakfast items we sampled were equally impressive. The omelets were fluffy and flavorful, the pancakes were light and airy, and the fresh fruit was impeccably ripe and juicy. Each dish was a testament to the chef's culinary expertise and commitment to using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. To top off our exceptional dining experience, our daughter received the utmost attention from Mandy. With her engaging personality and genuine love for children, Mandy made our daughter feel special and entertained throughout our meal. Her kindness and attentiveness were a true reflection of the restaurant's commitment to providing exceptional service to all its guests. Thank you, Mandy, for making our experience a lovely & memorable one.”
“This was a complete surreal experience. It took me nearly 5 days to sort out how to write this review. We dressed smart and to impress with unique style in a linen suit and gothic dress. From the very start I had an original and unique experience. Without selecting the table originally we were sat ring side at a table facing a full wall of glass overlooking the kitchen. Oddly only two were available and a solo diner sat at the other. I am still curious how we were luck to watch the chefs work. We then were invited back for a tour of the kitchen and a presentation of fresh selections of what would be prepared. I saw no one else get the same tour. Why we were the only ones to get that I dont know. We both chose different tasting menus. The classic and contemporary or local. Being given several more tastings ahead of the substantial dinner. Everything was beyond comparison and though the wine pairs were unique and may not be preffered on their own alone they were expertly and deliciously paired for each course. What took me 5 days to write this was to sort out what happened. Dish #5 was a pan seared rainbow trout with almonds. Tbe second I took a bite I was consumed with emotions of nostalgia. The last time I ever had anything like it was on tbe Brule River of wisconsin as a child being taught flyfishing and enjoying what we caught that day on the hidden cedar built lunchgrounds. I have never cried while eating a dish of any sort but I did over this one. I complimented tbe chef seen on the other side of the glass and he showed gratitude in return. They served us many plates before and after what was on the selected menu and the entire staff was attentive to every need and wish. I was complimented that I stood as a gentleman every time may date left or returned to the table. I was i.pressed they also took care of subtle drops or spills on the table cloth. Defitely opt for the cheese course at the end. It was a wonderful quiet evening where I could enjoy my company where as the next evening at another fancy retaurant we were seated agsinst an obnoxious loud table where I couldnt hear my friend sitting at my shoulder. I will certainly choose Emerils over any other restaurant in NO in the future.Dietary restrictions: Accomodated cilantro allergy.”
“I love great design. The aesthetic appeal of this hotel is JUST SO enjoyable. And the functional design of the chamber room is the best I’ve ever experienced. Add to that the hospitality of the staff… I can’t wait to enjoy another Virgin Hotels property. This hotel is a winning combination”
“We held a graduation celebration for our daughter and her friends at Emeril's Brasserie. We had a table of 9 and to our surprise had the restaurant mostly to ourselves. The staff at the restaurant were incredibly attentive and our server, Micah, was great. We had two seafood towers, a tarte flambé, and some baked Brie for appetizers. Every bite of the appetizers was amazing. We aren't typically huge fans of the seafood tower at other restaurants but this was amazing. Great flavors across the board. Unfortunately, we filled up on appetizers, so several people shared entrees. A few folks had the salmon and I had the steak frites. Again, amazing food. We went light on desserts with just one apple tart and a bread pudding to share. The apple tart was amazing. The bread pudding was the only element of the night that was just ok. Overall a fantastic experience.”
“The staff is always accommodating and friendly but last night they were exceptional. When I made the reservation, I noted a Birthday occasion, and upon our arrival, they decorated the table with little sequins, were extremely friendly and fun and they brought out the most delicious dessert for after. We always enjoy dinner here but last night was probably my favorite visit yet. Thank you, staff, so much!”
“This place is a gem for enjoying a meal! The service was exceptional, especially with our hostess Misty who made sure we were well taken care of.I ordered the Pork Rib Ramen, and it was absolutely phenomenal - worthy of a Michelin star! The explosion of flavors was delightful, and it paired perfectly with the rice balls recommended by Misty.We even had a taste of New Orleans with a wedding procession passing right in front of the restaurant, adding to the overall experience. This place is a definite must-visit if you're in town!”

“I have been sending people to Bar Tonique for close to a year from my position as liquor vault manager at the Sazerac House. So many return to tell me what a great experience they had & to thank me for recommending it. I have left the position at Sazerac House & won't be sending any more from there, Good luck to all the craftsmen & women behind this truly wonderful place!”
“such a cute lil spot. only got one dish and it was very good (crudités) and wish i could go regularly to try more stuff because what i had was so promising! but the star of what i tried was the soft serve (chocolate with chili crisp), it was smooth and creamy and a nice level of chocolate. good vibes and folks. if i lived in new orleans would hit this spot up often!”
“Excellent vietnamese food! Stopped here on our vacation to New Orleans and did not regret it! I got the grilled pork with vermicelli noodles. It was incredible! The pork had a really unique flavor, it almost tasted smoked. That mixed with the vermicelli, salad, and sauce was soooo good! My family members got the beef pho and the grilled chicken, which were also great. I tried my sister's milk tea and it wasn't too sweet and had a great flavor. Definitely check this place out if you're near by!Dietary restrictions: Gluten and dairy free options. Tofu for vegetarians.”
“I do not have the words to do this place justice. The interior is lovely and very fitting for the French Quarter but the patio is the best! The food is so delicious that I would be happy to eat every meal there. The attentiveness of the staff was incredible - they know their menu (bar and kitchen) and make great suggestions based on what you like not what they are trying to "move".”
“I celebrated a birthday at Ralph’s and it was a great experience. The food was excellent, and the service was great. I had the Chicken Cobb salad and a surprise nectar float as part of my birthday celebration! What a treat. The decor from the old New Orleans style building, to the painted murals and white tablecloths was superb. Free street parking out front and a free parking lot in the back is a big plus. A wall of windows gives a superb view of New Orleans city park as well. Reasonably priced and definitely a treat!Parking: Plenty of free, convenient street and lot parking plus valet if you choose.”
“My husband and I came in for our anniversary while visiting New Orleans. The whole experience was wonderful. Our server Nikki was amazing and very sweet!”
“What a.stunning wine list! Both eclectic and a great value! Food is also outstanding….”
“LOVED ALL OF IT! Great food, atmosphere, wait staff and Jacques himself! Go. Eat. Love it!”
“We had the most amazing dining experience we've had in awhile. Our server was attentive without hovering. We ordered the gulf fish (Drum) for my son and we did the Chef's choice. Everything came out with perfection. Our drinks were never empty and no courses overlapped. Needless to say we left full and blown away by the whole team at Plates.”
“I recently dined here for the first time and was surprised I had not heard of this place sooner. The food, atmosphere, and service were all great. The hi-lights of the meal include the gnocchi and the halibut special, although everything we had was delicious.”
“Delicious vegan breakfast, even a few gluten free options. I had a tofu omelet, "cheese" grits and a latte. The coffee was tasty, and the food excellent. I'll be back.”
“Its a cool trendy spot, a good choice for date night. The food is freaking delicious and the Sangria is sweet and a little strong too. The service is quick, and the servers helpful and attentive. Its a jeans and nice shirt type of place, I'll be coming here often ??”
“Great tasting food, excellent customer service and the owner is a sweetheart!”
“This is my first time here and I was pretty impressed The food was so fresh and the meat was so tender. My only complaint is they don't do shrimp tacos but that's fine The queso dip makes up for it. There's no dining inside but the outside was the vibe. Simple menu not much to overthink. Oh and we order the margarita picture and split it between three people It was enough for seconds.”
“Above all, you MUST order the seared scallops and artichoke appetizer. Fan-freaking-tactic! The Black Manhattan is excellent — except is was stirred long enough so it was nearly lukewarm when brought to the table. Great flavor, but disappointed at how warm it was. (An extra point for Luxardo cherries. Seriously. How can a restaurant claim they serve cocktails if they don’t use Luxardo cherries????)”
“We went yesterday and the wait was 2 hours. Got there a little earlier today and we got in. I’ve eaten at the Uptown location and was so happy they opened up another one that’s closer. It was my daughter’s first time and she said the food is so good and understands why there is a wait.”
“Didn't get to try much food but the flavored butters are insane. Its small cocktail list but man they do it well and they do their own spin on them as well I would love to come back here”
“Everything was amazing!! The ambience, staff and food…oysters bed, curried gumbo, pork vindaloo, and crème brûlée were all spot on. Next time I visit my family will definitely come back to enjoy again.”

“So amazing!! Elevated twists on the dishes!! Great atmosphere, and an incredible experience!! Never disappoints!!”
“Food portions were good for the price. Got the trio cheese dip and guac were good, the salsa was ok but had kind of an odd taste. The beef burrito ingredients weren't mixed that well. First 1/3 was too much meat and dry tasting. Middle was good, them the last bit was 90% beans. Service was ok. Kind of slow to come back to my table and rarely checked in. But once I ordered the food came out quickly.”
“The live music was a huge bonus. We got the filet which were cooked perfectly and full of flavor, the fried lobster tail was to die for, and the key lime pie was simply amazing! The entire experience from the service to the food was incredible! Highly recommend!!!”
“Loved eating in the courtyard last night. Service was awesome!”
“Outstanding authentic Italian food! We were a party of five and everyone loved their entrees while we shared several appetizers. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente.

“We think College Inn has the best shrimp poboy in the city of New Orleans. Their fried seafood is the best. They have very flavorful seafood gumbo that actually has a lot of seafood in it.”
“This was one of the best breakfast places I ate at while I stayed in New Orleans. i cant say enoigh positive things about this restaurant. The food was out of this world and the staff and service was 100/100 stars. Thank you so much for an fantastic food experience ❤️ ---- Lisa and Abby from Ontario, Canada”

“The Toups’ Burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Our waiter was very knowledgeable in the dishes and kept our drinks full. I highly recommend this place. Next time I go I want to try the smoked duck!”
“One of the best dining experiences my wife and I ever had. It is a true culinary delight that awakens your taste buds. Braiden was an excellent server who takes pride in his work and it shows! Thank you for a wonderful evening.”
“Outstanding restaurant. 10 years ago it was a blast and it still is.Everything from appetizers to deserts was amazing!The service is top notch.A bit too loud for me, but the building is charming inside.”
“We had a great time at the Commander’s Palace. The food and service were excellent.”
“Great distillery tour and tasting. A must stop while in the quarter. Rene was great and very knowledgeable. my favorite was the Irish Whiskey, Bourbon and Gin”
“Great food and service. This was our first eating experience in New Orleans. Gallier’s set the bar high. We enjoyed the red snapper and seafood platter for lunch.”
“Fancy. Fresh oysters from as far as Washington to nearby. Pacific NW are generally the saltiest and my favorite. Priced at a pretty penny though. Great wines by the glass and friendly staff. No reservation, no snobbery. They'll get you in when they can.”
“Cute restaurant with amazing food, we had a few small plates: steak skewers, ceviche, salad, and tostones. Would recommend all of them but the best was the ceviche! The cocktails were delicious too.”
“Whenever we visit New Orleans we head. To Katie’s for breakfast. Food is delicious, the staff is fabulous and the atmosphere is fun. It’s a vibe! Definitely check them out !”
“Live Jazz, chill mood and amazing cocktails. The bartender made me a French 75 with cognac and I was impressed with his skill. I watched him make two technically difficult cocktails at the same time and he really knew what he was doing. Will recommend again.”
“Let's start with the first class service they give you from the minute you arrive you are treated like a VIP. The food is absolutely delicious and the Binets are out of this world!”
“The food was excellent. The tasting menu could have used one additional course. I didn’t expect to leave dinner hungry after spending $95 — not in New Orleans. The sales pressure to purchase the wine pairing was a little over the top.”
“Amazing food! Incredible flavor profile! Great ambiance! I will definitely eat here again!!”
“We walked in last minute and ate in the Richelieu Bar. The service was excellent. The menu at the bar had a great selection of Arnaud's classics. The cocktails were very good as well.”
“My family and I went to eat here for Good Friday. We had the seafood platter and Jerk Chicken Nachos! Omg I highly recommend it to anyone considering these items. I also had the soursop and ginger lemonade. It was the best. Please go and pay them a visit. The staff were very warm and made sure we enjoy our stay!”
“I love this place! Everything from the ambience to the delicious food. The staff is so nice and the food is fast. We had Molly serve us. The quality is top tier and the food is fresh and steaming hot. We can not wait to comeback. I love how you get an almond cookie and fortune cookie at the end lol.”
“Grabbed a drink here on a Saturday night when everything else seemed so busy, just a short wait to get into the bar which was great on its own. Beautiful ambiance, the cocktails were delicious and not outrageously expensive, basically just normal prices for a lot of the drinks. Lovely staff, great night.”
“Stopped in after church and was pleasantly surprised. Ate at the bar and was waited on immediately. Food was excellent. My husband said that I was judging him because he didn’t have a crumb left!??”

The menu features a delightful array of French-inspired dishes, each prepared with meticulous attention to detail and bursting with flavor. My personal favorite was the quiche, which is undoubtedly the best I've ever tasted. The buttery crust, the velvety custard, and the perfectly cooked bacon harmonized in a symphony of textures and flavors that left me speechless. Our server, Mandy, was an absolute delight. Her warm smile, attentive service, and genuine enthusiasm for the restaurant's offerings made us feel welcomed and valued. She expertly guided us through the menu, providing insightful recommendations and ensuring that our every need was met with utmost care. The other breakfast items we sampled were equally impressive. The omelets were fluffy and flavorful, the pancakes were light and airy, and the fresh fruit was impeccably ripe and juicy. Each dish was a testament to the chef's culinary expertise and commitment to using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. To top off our exceptional dining experience, our daughter received the utmost attention from Mandy. With her engaging personality and genuine love for children, Mandy made our daughter feel special and entertained throughout our meal. Her kindness and attentiveness were a true reflection of the restaurant's commitment to providing exceptional service to all its guests. Thank you, Mandy, for making our experience a lovely & memorable one.”
“I found Brigtsen's About 15 years ago. I have since been there 10 times over the years on vacation. I go to all the fine dining restaurants In NOLA. No matter where I go. Brigtsen's is consistently the best meal of my trip. I just had the pork chop last week in was so delicious. This is truly one of the best restaurants in America. One of my favorite visits is when Frank is there so that I get to say hello. There are not many restaurants were a famous chef is actually there . I try to save room for the pecan pie but I'm not always successful. The menu is so good with choices I get too full. The service is also excellent. So in ending, I could go on for days, I'll just say. When your in New Orleans check out Brigtsen's. It's ok to thank me with every bite.”
“The best tacos in New Orleans and it's not even close. Theres not a bad bite in the place. If I drive past and there's no line, I always want to stop and grab a taco or the beef bowl. Above and beyond.”
“I'm kicking myself for forgetting to take photos of the food at Margot's. It's probably because everything looked so good that we just couldn't wait to dig in. We went on a Friday evening and were seated with water immediately. The waiter was so kind and fun, we talked about how friendly he was the rest of the weekend. We ordered the burrata and shishito peppers for the appetizers and wow were they beyond incredible! The burrata was so cold and creamy, spreading it on the sourdough was so delicious. Next, we ordered the Don Quixote, Bianca, and Fungus Among Us pizzas. Everything was beyond our expectations (and after the appetizers, our expectations were pretty high.) The pizzas came out hot, quickly, and loaded with toppings. The crust was thin and crunchy and getting a variety of pizzas to share was a great decision that I'd recommend you make too. We look forward to the next time we're visiting friends so we can come back to this very cool, insanely chill, and very welcoming spot!”
“The food was amazing. The portions were great. Myself along with my daughter and fiancé dinned in and my Watriess was amazing..”

“great food and service the stuffed crab lunch was delicious as always”
“Cozy ambience with a unique, delicious drink menu. They also offer their kitchen to local food businesses, and the Asian fusion one there when I went was phenomenal. Donavin makes a wonderful drink called “Thank You for Being a Friend” with Louisiana run, almond, passionfruit, and smoky amaro – must try! I was in town for the Home + Garden Show, and Barrel Proof was the perfect unwind!”
“I’m a local who has dined at many N.O. restaurants and Cafe Amelie is my favorite. Charming atmosphere and THE BEST food and drinks!”
“Delish Indian Tikka Masala, Korean BBQ Wings and Calamari Salad. So Good!”

“Four of us ate there Friday night, a combination of tapas and a seafood paella to share. The owner also waits the tables, so be prepared to relax. The paella was exquisite, one of the best I've ever had. We shared a bottle of the house white, an albarino. The food was all delicious! The owner is so gracious and aims to please. Excellent value for the money.”

The facility is clean and the staff is so friendly. When traveling I’m always excited to locate a tasty vegan restaurant and this place is my spot when in New Orleans! I can’t rave about it’s food enough…simply delicious!”

“My friend and I indulged in Brennan's famous Bananas Foster. Despite a 45-minute wait for the bar, not due to a crowd but to earlier delays, the staff swiftly accommodated us, understanding our time constraints for catching a flight. The bartender's expertise in crafting the Bananas Foster was matched by their engaging explanation of its history. For a culinary experience that's both delicious and educational, make sure to try Brennan's Bananas Foster when you have the chance.”
“Great place ... the wait staff was excellent I must say ... very professional, warm and efficient. The host at the front door seemed a little enamored with him self and was not as welcoming as one would have thought. I had a reservation but, stopped by about 45 minutes early to ask if I could be seated early. The answer was I had to come back at the reservation time even though ... clearly there were open tables avaliable. But, if you exclude the host experience ... it was a five star occasion”
“Above all else, Tom who took care of us was excellent and made our experience unique.You should definitely try the truffle potatoes. I ate a hamburger, although I cannot say it was the best hamburger I have ever eaten, I can say it is 8 out of 10. Other choices were better, everyone at the table left satisfied.”
“Antoine was a fantastic server ...polite, courteous, attentive, and extremely handsome. oh and the food was good too. I ordered the soup of the day which was the crab chowder - really decadent but not too rich. Dinner was a coffee rubbed filet cooked to perfection. I was dining alone but seated close to two different couples who did not know each other but struck up a conversation due to their proximity and I enjoyed their conversation as one couple was Swedish and the other was from AL but had Swedish roots. it was a really cool place to eat since I would call it fine dining but a comfortable feel. 10/10. Ask for Antoine.”
“Meril, Meril how I love you This is one of our favorite spots to go for date night or just meeting some friends for dinner and delicious cocktails. Service is always top-notch. We usually have a main waiter and then someone assisting with the table. But don't take that as a stuffy, uppity place to be, it's very casual and nice to have servers taking care of the table all throughout the meals. Apps: we decided to make a meal out of appetizers, and we kind of went overboard. Definitely small plates but big enough to share with leftovers if you do it right. We decided to order appetizers and make that our meal. We chose the Bacon Braised Collard Greens from the daily specials. We also chose Smoked Fish Dip, Crispy Cod Sliders, Deviled Eggs, Korean Fried Chicken Wings and Pad Thai Cauliflower For cocktails we started with English Turn(grapefruit but not sour), Tchoup(cucumber deliciousness) and Albariño(smooth white wine). All so good! It was also our 11 year anniversary and they surprised us with some cotton candy and a sparkler! Perfection!”

“The newest and coolest Country themed bar in the FQ. Plenty of planning & expense went into this brand new bar. Authentic! Staff is very welcoming, drinks are generously poured, spotlessly clean and the huge balcony overlooking Bienville St. offers a FQ/N.O. skyline view unlike any other you'll find. If you dig country bar vibes, this is the place.”
“Secret oasis on Frenchmen! We felt like we were climbing a staircase to an old speak easy...nicely done interior ...you enter through the bar. We sat out on the balcony as it wasn't too hot. Nice to watch the Frenchman craziness from above. Wine was delicious and reasonably priced... choices for every palate. The tapas and smalls were elegant in presentation and taste. Enjoyed listening to the jazz music below in a less touristy atmosphere.”
“I, along with six of my friends, dined at Headquarters for my birthday. The energy was amazing. Frankie Beverly and Maze were in concert up the street, so it was a great touch to have the band's music playing for those of who weren't attending the concert. Although we had reservations, we had to wait a few minutes to be seated. I received a text message letting me know that my table was ready. I appreciated that. Our server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was packed so she did the best she could and never made us feel ignored. I ordered crawfish etouffee. The portion size was perfect. I loved the use of fried and regular crawfish in the dish. That was a nice surprise to this traditional dish. My guests ordered soup, oxtails, pasta, and red fish. Everyone cleaned their plates except my brother. His order of oxtails was severely undercooked. After sending the dish back, he waited at least another 30 minutes only to be told they were out. That was the only disappointment. The live band was fun. I even danced on stage to their rendition of Casanova. Until next time!”
“I forgot to finish my review and post it. My husband and I were in NOLA for the first time, we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, in August 2023. I have a gluten allergy and it was difficult to find authentic NOLA food that was gluten free. I am so glad I found Atchafalaya Restaurant!! The food was absolutely fantastic and they had several gluten free options! Our waitress was amazing. The restaurant was very cute inside and had a lot more seating than it looked like from the outside.”
