“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.“

“Love this new place in Mid-City! The cocktails are wonderful and the food is great. I really enjoyed the fried pickles and pimento cheese spread. My husband got the loaded potato gnocchi. It was delicous but a little rich. It was perfect to split all three. I will definitely be back!“

“This place is absolutely amazing. I’m very picky and am blown away. Highly recommend.“

“This is a quaint/small place with a nice bar and good service. We stopped in for Dinner on Feb 25, 2024. We ordered the Korean BBQ Bowl, Charcuterie Creation and Creole Meatball Appetizer. Everything was delicious. The highlight was the charcuterie which contained many meat, cheeses, crackers and fruits for a reasonable price.“

“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.“

“Don’t sleep on this place. Live music, weekly shrimp and crawfish boils, fresh oysters, great wine and brews, excellent charcuterie, and a great al fresco dining space. A true gem!“

“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.“

“Oak seemed to me as more a wine and cocktail bar that serves food than a restaurant. The food is good it just doesn’t seem to be the main focus, primarily small plates. Service was friendly and prompt. The live entertainment was was very good without being overwhelming. Overall a nice place to spend some time.Vegetarian options: Some non-meat dishesKid-friendliness: An adult environmentParking: On street parking in the area and a paid lot about a block awayWheelchair accessibility: Somewhat accessibleDietary restrictions: Staff will work with restrictions you make them aware of“
