The hostess was the best. The server was good as well but when the bill arrived, he had a charged for 2 gumbo when I had only one. When we checked the bill again, he charged us for another item separately that was part of the prefix meal. The food Gumbo could have been great if the roux was good and need enough juice. The rice was sticky and gummy. Husband had the red beans and rice with fried chicken. NO FLAVOR WHATSOEVER. Bread pudding was super delicious! Beignets. How do you mess up this light pastries. HARD AS A ROCK.

Everything was excellent. I love spicy so if you don't just let them know. Just watch the deserts also have some spice on them which we weren't expecting. I would definitely go back and I very much enjoyed my meal.

The restaurant is beautiful and cozy. The drinks were fantastic and the food was divine. We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary, as we got married in New Orleans, so having gumbo, and red beans and rice made us so happy and nostalgic. I didn't get the hostesses name but she was wonderful and kind.

Wonderful place, great gumbo and the 3 course meal option was perfect and more than enough!
Barry
Thanksgiving dinner was amazing. A wonderful experience. Excellent cocktails, very good wine pairing, and Chef John certainly delivered the goods! We couldn't fault anything we had. Can't wait to return.

O. M. G. Y'all owe me nothing but another visit. NO complaints at all! From the appetizer to my dessert. You did not disappoint. I went home feeling almost miserable I was so stuffed.

We always have a delicious meal here. The portions are huge so we usually come home with a second meal! Everyone is nice and very hardworking. This is genuine Cajun food at its finest. Very reasonably priced too!

Shrimp and grits, gumbo and bread pudding were all really good. The live jazz band during brunch was a nice treat.
Ken
We love the drum fish and the sausage and chicken gumbo, very cool place. And had some Louisiana beers.
Sue
As always the food was fantastic!!!!! The atmosphere, music, upbeat staff and lighting were spot on. We truly love this place and enjoy bringing friends to introduce them to the restaurant, in hopes to convert new File' followers. This time the service was a bit shaky. And one note, even if the customer orders a second bottle of the same wine, do not bring it to the table already opened. A bit disappointing We will return and hope this was just a one off.
This was our fourth time at Filé. The staff and food were incredible. Not a bad time when we visit.

Gumbo was excellent. It was very close to New Orleans style. Saturday jazz band was very good. The ambiance was more authentic than the usual. No unhappy millennial. Just ordinary people enjoying the food and music.

I took my son there for his birthday we wanted good food, and a place we didn't have to wait forever. We haven't seen each other for a while so we wanted to get reacquainted, and this "was" the perfect place to do it. We had an excellent creole meal and a great time I would do it again. Our food was excellent

Last time we visited File' was for a nice Sunday brunch. We were so impressed by the food, service and atmosphere, we returned on a Thursday night to entertain friends visiting from California. Well, File' was even more amazing for dinner. The service was top notch, the food was off-the-charts delicious and we all felt we were treated like guests in someone's home. The char broiled oysters were something to dream about and the gumbos and etoufee' were on a par or better than the best restaurants we visit in New Orleans. There was a nice crowd there too, on a weekday evening, so I'm glad others love File' as much as we do now. We'll be back again soon!
