“All of the staff were awesome, except for 1 woman who worked (I believe) Thursday, March 24th during the day. No smile on her face, and didn't acknowledge my pleases and thank yous. Just a sour-faced female with no people skills. Likely a racist, as I visited with my White boyfriend (I'm a Black woman). We were visiting from out of town, so at least be cordial, whether you know a customer's back story or not.“
“What a great bar. Nice and clean on the inside with a big open space for dancing and 2 pool tables. While the only thing they serve for food is pizza all the time a few nights a week they have popups on the large covered patio ranging from boiled crawfish, steak night and even lasagna. Everyone is very friendly and the beautiful bartenders are quick to remember the little details like a lime in my highlife and my Jack served neat. Since this is my after work stop I dont know what the night life is like but I hear they thow down till the early morning.“
“What a phenomenal experience at LUFU! The food was amazing with rich flavors and the service was exceptional. We enjoyed all of the recommendations our waiter gave and enjoyed his conversation. We will definitely add this to our “must haves” when visiting New Orleans.“
“Super place for breakfast. We loved everything we ordered. We had bread pudding pancakes and they were very special and not overly sweet. Poached eggs with pork and shrimps were amazing, as well as shrimp and grits. The service was fast and servers friendly and helpful“
“We found out about this place via Somebody feed Phil and we had saved it in our to go to sandwich places. The sandwiches were really good, I think the bread was the highlight, so soft and buttery. I had a Fried Bologna and my husband and Collard Green, which was definitely a win with its minty/yoghurty flavour and incredible cheese. The service was averageVegetarian options: Tasty options for vegetarians - no compromise on flavour If you don’t eat meat (I had the meaty one and I wish had tried the veggie one)“
“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. We loved it so much. we asked our nephew, his medical school advisor and his wife to join us. All three lived in NOLA and had never been here. All 5 of us would definitely go back in a heart beat. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great drinks. Great staff. GREAT ALL AROUND! FIVE STARS for Jewel of the South.“
“absolutely amazing, I am a Traveling Chefthe oysters were melting your mouth. The beef tartar was perfectly seasoned. The drinks were amazing.I’ve been traveling to the city here now for the past three months and pass this place a few times because it was so busy. I was luckily to come in here, on a Thursday night, and not that many people are sitting at the bar I was invited with professionalism.creativity in the cocktails I will be coming back. Looking forward to seeing you guys next week. Thank you.Cheers“

“We toured their little distillery today, however do not be fooled by the size of this place. It has a rich history and some incredible infused rum. Our tour hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable. A place to visit and experience, I recommend the Bananas Foster rum!“
“Celebrated my cousin’s birthday here with dinner and drinks on the rooftop this past weekend. We had an amazing time! Our reservation was for 530 but we arrived about a half hour earlier and were allowed to wait in the seating area/lounge which was connected to the hotel’s bar (located in the Pontchatrain Hotel). I absolutely loved the decor because it was a concept that was welcoming, nostalgic, and upscale. Whoever designed the space is a genius. There are plenty of Instagram worthy areas to take pictures and the menu was outstanding. My cousins and I each ordered a different dish where we took turns sampling plates. There were 6 of us and we ordered the pork cheeks, fish in a bag (flounder), crawfish risotto, broccolini, braised pork ribs, and cauliflower soup. I also ordered the “hibis-kiss” drink and a lemon drop martini. We lounged around a bit before the waitress told us about the rooftop bar “Hot Tin Roof.” All on the same hotel with a beautiful view of the NOLA skyline. The hotel is located on the RTA line and we took streetcar 12 from Canal street to Josephine and St. Charles. This was a perfect way to see more of the city and embrace the culture.“
“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!“
“First note... Make an appointment or be prepared to wait. So we showed up without a appointment at the peach of bruch so we waited about 45 minutes maybe close to an hour. It was worth it . We had French toast bites, shrimp and grits, mimosas flights, bloody Mary with bacon. Everything tasted amazing. The service was quick and the host nice.“
“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".“
“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.“
“Trendy spot recommended by a friend (cocktail connoisseur). The place wasn't busy when I got there so I picked a seat on the back patio. Cocktail menu is awesome... ordered a Banana Manhattan based on a rec from the staff (wanted something unique). Loved it! Not too sweet, just a hint of banana. The food was OK. I've had better Cubans and better fries, but still good. Giving it 4 stars overall... 5 based on cocktails, but 3/3.5 based on food.“
“We were in New Orleans celebrating a friend's milestone birthday and decided to try an Indian restaurant for dinner. We picked Saffron based on yelp reviews. The entire dinner was an amazing experience - right from the cocktails to the appetitzers and then the entrees and dessert, each dish was bursting with flavor and authenticity. We had ordered the fish which came with a dollop of curd rice and pickle! We loved it so much that we asked if they could send us seconds of the curd rice. I would like to throw and big shout out to our amazing waiter Landon who always had a smile on his face and was spot on with his recommendations. The highlight of the day was the chef who graciously came out and checked in on each table. You can see his passion reflected in each of the dishes served today. It has been an amazing experience. If you are in NOLA or visiting, do check out this gem of a restaurant.“
“Hunter, our server, made the entire experience delightful! I'd like to shout out the bartender too, as these were by far the best alcoholic beverages we had the entire weekend! I can't wait to come back and look into staying at Maison with my hubby! We hope Hunter is still around, as his personality sold the experience ??.“
“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 almost did not eat here because of the dress code, but do yourself a favor, put a nice shirt and pair of paints on and eat here, it is some of the best food and bye far the best service you will ever have. It is a well polished machine and worth dressing up for. Also I have alpha gal which means I can not eat anything from a mammal, and they accommodate me just fine“
“My husband and I LOVE this place. We live a couple of blocks away and eat here as often as we can without making it seem like we’re stalkers. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming…and the food! Lord. It’s delicious.The boudinThe P&P saladThe corn babiesTexas Crispy QuailFried BrusselsGulf FishIt is all amazing! Definitely one of the very best restaurants in The Quarter.“
“This place is amazing. I found it by chance since it was right next to my air bnb and wow. This is probably the best pizza I have ever had. We ordered the burrata, the Caesar salad and we ordered the Bianca pizza with some modifications.The burrata was delicious as was the Caesar salad. Even the pizza was amazing. The pizza was so good I had to take it to the airport the next day and people were asking me where it was from, it was that good. I’ve never had truffle ricotta before and it was a dream. Definitely recommend this place if you’re local or planning on visiting Frenchmen street“
“We had a great experience with Emily. She was very knowledgeable in making our drinks and in explaining the whole process of making spirits in the distillery. The drinks were delightful . We had a lot of fun with her and we would highly recommend this distillery.“
“We stopped in this tiny bar to take a break from walking. When I say tiny, I mean it! There were 2 high top tables and seating at the bar, but that was it! However, the cocktails were delicious, the bartender (I can't remember her name but she had short red hair) was super sweet and helpful and recommended an absolutely delicious drink- Going Pear Shaped. It had gin, pear rosemary honey, lemon, and ginger beer. It was bright and refreshing! My husband also enjoyed his drink. We heard a pretty nice jazz trio while we were in there. Definitely check them out if you prefer smaller, quieter settings!“
“My husband and I came down from Boston for a long weekend in New Orleans and this is definitely worth a stop! We had a tour of the distillery with Alyson and she was very knowledgeable, funny and witty. We tore a lot of distilleries and wineries and breweries, and they had an excellent and very high-quality selection of bourbon available. They also offered some unique vodkas. You can't really go wrong here at all. After our tour, we ordered some drinks at the bar while we were purchasing some bottles to take home, and the bartender made some excellent recommendations of signature cocktails on their menu. Very good experience and highly recommend“
“Gorgeous quiet (on a week day) little indoor/outdoor courtyard. I loved ordering at my table via an app and paying as I do. Food delivered easily. We did have to go to the bar to get our drinks though. Not a problem.We each had tacos - excellent! Spicy beef strips. Two small ones plus a side salad (also delicious) and it was plenty for me for dinner.When traveling I actually like it when plates are normal sized instead of huge and wasted.“
“If I could give this food & to go package a 10 star review I would. This food was amazing-i can’t wait to dine in for the entire experience.Seriously impressed with both the bagel & bialy on the light & fluffy but not chewy texture.“
“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“
“I don’t take my 11 month old out to eat often but they made it soo easy for us. They were quick in getting his food to us and even though I offered, they wouldn’t let us clean up after him. The buser even came over to interact with our kiddo. It was a really nice experience and made taking him out very enjoyable.“
“Apps and Cocktails ??•The Rum House never disappoints. From appetizers to cocktails to main courses; always delish. I will say expect some delays in getting refills and mains, but you will understand why once you are served. The decor is very Caribbean coastal and really sets the mood for what is to come.•If you are a guacamole fan, give this a try. They top it with a mango medley and it adds a nice sweet twist.•If you like a Caribbean cocktail, this is a great spot to catch some. We did Sangria, Piña Colada & Skinny Margarita. Dare I say they were all perfect recipes for what you want to expect ?“

“An exceptional bar in a city full of bars. The Paris Safari decor theme makes for a cozy vibe. The varied cocktail list has many New Orleans classics that are made expertly. We loved the Brandy Crusta, Arnaud’s Special and the Bobby Oakes. We also enjoyed the tasty gougeres and the deviled eggs from the bar bites menu. Service was excellent.“
“Very good!!! I had the Shrimp Remoulade Stuffed Avocado and it was so delicious!! My husband had a Shrimp PO Boy and wished he had gotten the same as I. We had dessert also, Chocolate Doberge cake and Bread Pudding which was SO delicious. Our waiter was a gem!“
“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!“
“My friend and I experienced the Chloe for lunch last week 10/12/23 and it was absolutely the best lunch from start to end I have ever had. The goat cheese, pepper and garlic starter is so full of flavor I can’t even describe how happy it made my taste buds. Every bite of food I had was simply perfection. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful in their recommendations. I honestly am planning another weekend trip simply to dine here again. This is a MUST eat while in town. Thank you all for this memorable experience.“
“Decent hotel bar with a really nice view of the river. They have some interesting cocktails on the menu, and it was a good spot for an afternoon drink. We tried the Sassy Au Pere and Boheme Bongo cocktails; both were well made and reasonably priced at $16 each.The entrance is inside the mall and up an elevator. Because it's connected to the mall, there is also a parkade with lots of parking available.“
“Outstanding jazz band/lounge singer on the night I visited plus well-made traditional New Orleans cocktails. Hard working bartenders curved out a ton of complicated drinks quickly. I loved the whole experience. This was the traditional upscale jazz club I was looking for on my trip to the jazz capital of the world.“
“This was a fun adult bar setting with a sailor's theme. The food was amazing and the service even more amazing. They served drinks done right and if you go I highly recommend the Bread Service as a starter. You will not be disappointed!!!Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian optionsParking: There is a lot right across the street that cost roughly 4.00 for 2 hours. We found a place to park just around the corner for free.“
“vaughan's is always a great place to grab drink after work. this was an after work stop for bday drinks for a friend/co-worker. it's was an excellent night. lot's of great discussions about oddball topics?so yeah, we had a blast. bday drinks after work was an excellent plan, and vaughans was the perfect place for that to happen.“
“Service was friendly professional and prompt. while food was exceptional, the presentationFor the chicken and waffles was subpar at best. It looked like my 16 year old prepared it. The waffleWas crispy and light though. The ambience was very crowded with minimal spaceFrom the neighboring tables. Would return for the gumbo“
“After a long trip and waiting to settle into the hotel we found this spot not more than a block away and kept going back over the course of the week even though we were just visiting and not for the convenience but the service was fantastic the food was amazing and overall just an incredible spot to check “
“Popped in here for a drink prior to our dinner next door at Zasu. We loved it! The ambiance and decor is lovely. The drinks are incredibly well crafted. The owner is lovely as well! This is truly a family owned and run business. We loved chatting with them. I tend to judge places by how well kept the restrooms are - they didn't let me down here. Super clean and well maintained. We didn't grab food, but the people sitting next to us at the bar had the most amazing looking burger. We were only in town for work, but if I was local this would be my regular spot! Highly recommend!“
“We tried two nights in a row to get in for a seat, it was worth the effort. Service was great, drinks came out fast. The music is absolutely excellent, caught the opener and had a blast, and the house band followed and woke the whole place up. What a fantastic time.“
“Fantastic evening at an institution. Food was top tier from the French 75s through to the baked Alaska dessert. Crab cake / Shrimp Arnaud starters were solid whilst the mains (veal medallions in a mushrooom sauce / quail in a strawberry gaatrique) were exceptional. Service was top tier with a special shoutout to Travis who made our evening.“
“Hits and missesGood: loaded Korean fries, brussel sprouts, Sad Boy cocktailDo not get the mushroom pho if you have any expectations of it tasting like pho. Deeply needed salt, the mushrooms and noodles were all wrong, and not a bok choy to be found.“
“I was so surprised when I walked in here. The vibes are so good, the DJ is super hot the bartenders and everyone else who worked here are so nice! The little details, like the bar ware, in the establishment are noticed and appreciated. I legit forgot I was on the westbank. 10/10 would recommend and come back!“
“Rosedale is a restaurant we have been looking forward to trying ever since Mondo closed, but we hadn't gotten around to it until tonight. The food, atmosphere, and service are all something really special. The service was a little on the slow side, despite the restaurant not being terribly busy on a Thursday, but everything was worth the wait, and our server was wonderfully attentive. We also lucked out with perfect weather to enjoy the patio, but I know the restaurant doesn't order that up! If they did, I'd like to place an order for the rest of April to be just as gorgeous.Kid-friendliness: Two of our guests at the dinner table were kids, and they thoroughly enjoyed their options, demolishing everything set in front of them. It's good to see a restaurant that welcomes kids without being built around them, striking a good balance there.“
“A decent stop for anyone in the garden district! We had the fancy beignet flight (raspberry, smores, and cannoli). They are pretty good! I think if you aren’t familiar with southern food already, it would be worth a stop. If you are, and you’re looking for something more “knock your socks off,” this might not be the spot.“
“This is a MUST DO if you head to NOLA. it an rainy fun place with great cocktails and the best Gelato concoctions you'll ever have.Parking: It's Siren town NOLA. your best bet is walkingKid-friendliness: Clean Music. Day time great for kids after all it's Gelato!Admittedly, as an adult in NOLA it's nice to be kid free after 7pm . SooooWheelchair accessibility: Easy entry“
“Was here a few years ago to meet up with a friend, didn't save it so couldn't for the life of me remember where it was. Happily found it again this Mardi gras/Fat Tuesday night and was more than pleasantly surprised. Eric(k)? Was the perfect bartender - super into the mixology of what would work and I trusted him with 3; cocktails if his own design, each one better than the last. The ambiance was a perfect respite from the madness, great place to reminisce with friends and catch a night cap! And do yourself a favor and ask for the "bartender's choice"“
“A nice little family restaurant where you can eat very good sandwiches and burgers.The quantities are reasonable and the prices too.Games are available on the shaded terrace (hence the perfect family restaurant).Service with a smile and quite fast.The toilets are very clean!“
“Ok ok ok… my second time here within 3 days! And I am now eating something different, the menu is worth exploring! I don’t feel like I am in belle chasse when I’m eating here. The interior design was done with class and fun! This place is great!Kid-friendliness: I’d definitely bring my daughter. They also have seating accommodations for babies!“
