This place is such a gem! The food is amazing and the staff should be serving royalty! They are so kind and attentive! They made great suggestions and anticipated all of our needs!

We really enjoyed our dinner last night. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pan oysters are absolutely amazing. I would have liked a second order. My companion was jealous. Although he had the salmon moose, and that was very good. The drum special was delicious. I have to admit, I'm still craving the oyster starter.

Best restaurant experience we've had in a while. Very affordable. Excellent service.

If I could rate more than 5 stars I would. I came here with my mom in September for her birthday dinner and we could not have been happier with the experience. Of the 10+ restaurants we visited during our time here, this was easily the most unique and memorable. The ambience was lovely, a carefully crafted balance of elegant southern hospitality and refined contemporary touches transporting you into an intimate dining experience. The service was impeccable, each member of the staff was welcoming and enthusiastic. They all made us feel like we were locals returning for the umpteenth time and went out of their way to make the dinner exceptional. Each course was beautifully plated and full of flavor. The fish was perfect and fresher than any we had elsewhere on our stay, and the desert was outstanding. No matter whether you’re a local or a guest of the city, do yourself a favor and dine here.

We loved Bistro Daisy! Had our wedding anniversary dinner there and it was perfect. It's a very intimate place. The food was phenomenal, and the service was top notch. Carly was our server and was amazing. We will definitely go back.

Everything from start to finish was delicious. We had the crab appetizer and the escargot special, the shrimp and pepper soup special, the bouillabaisse, and duck confit-all excellent. Carly, our server, was very attentive and provided great service.

Our first visit to Bistro Daisy exceeded all our exceptions...the food was delicious, the service friendly and quick, and the historic house was charming. We will definitely return next trip to New Orleans!
Fantastic food and service. Im definitely going back! I loved the inside and felt so comfortable and at home. It's intimate and small but not not cramped. Everyone that worked there were so friendly and warm. The food- wow! We had mushroom soup,warm spinach salad, steak and trout ( there are 2 of us). We both put Bistro Daisy as our top favorite resturant & we're both locals that love NOLA and eating out. Honestly, it would shock me to hear there was anyone that didn't rave about Bistro Daisy. I almost forgot to add- the desert we had was baked Alaska done to perfection the dis a pink lemon martini & a wonderful bottle of wine. The menu may change each night ( I'm not sure?) but I am definitely going again! Masses (?) was our server - friendly & professional and great at coming by to check on us.

This is one of our go to restaurants when in NOLA. Lovely mix of clever sophisticated twists on French bistro meets local NOLA standards. Very welcoming, like at neighborhood gem or old friend's but with excellent professional staff. Prices are reasonable especially for quality and location. Wine selection runs heavy to California and not a lot of choice between many decent selections and a few top ends. Minor issue.

This family owned Bistro is perhaps the best restaurant of its type in this "food centric" city. The chef/owner and maitre'd/owner are always in house and it shows! Manning the bar Diane keeps the place quietly humming, with a team of attentive and knowledgeable waiters. Every detail is tended to ie fresh cut roses on the mantels, immaculately furnished restrooms, and elegant table settings. Her bar service is second to none and her wine cellar, while limited to 20-30 whites and 20-30 reds, has only best in class selections for the price point and specific varietal. These restauranteurs know their craft! The kitchen is simply a miracle. How does this chef keep turning out perfection, year after year, every night!? Started with lobster gnocchi. Little house made clouds combined with lobster in a buttery sauce, yum! Next we had Parsnip soup. Full of delicious parsnip flavor made even more flavorful with the addition of Parmesan and thick salty pieces of crisp bacon. Shared a warm spinach salad. This was dressed perfectly and completed with walnuts and more salty bacon-yum! The filet was seared and perfectly cooked, resulting in melt in your mouth perfection. The au jus was superb and perfect for the puréed potatoes. We also had the "Porcini dusted" chicken with risotto. Is there any better chicken dish in North America? I doubt it. The broiled chicken's crispy salted skin made even more delicious by its mushroom dusting. This skin was covering a deboned piece of juicy chicken breast with bone-in leg attached providing added flavor during cooking. The au jus here is made of the bird's renderings and marries perfectly to the risotto. I could eat this every night for the rest of my life, and l almost never have chicken. Crazy good!! We choose the Caymus Cabernet to drink with our meal. Delicious. Not going to mention the price for fear the proprietor will increase it!!! We skipped dessert, and if you suffered through reading all the above you can understand why.
This restaurant had been on my list of places I wanted to try for a few years now so I picked it for my birthday. The staff was very warm and positive. The food was more old school, both in presentation and preparation. Signature cocktails were nothing special, just average. Decor was very dark and dated; not what you'd expect in a place called “Daisy.” Not an unpleasant experience, but I would not recommend it for a specific occasion. Interestingly, several tables throughout the restaurant seemed to be celebrating a birthday.
Their Valentine's Day menu was so good! It was a fixed price per person but with 3 courses each. They had a limited selection of options. I didn't care- everything was divine! I had the black drum and my husband had the lamb. Well seasoned- also some of the most creative spins on regular dishes. Service was top notch my glass was always full. We will definitely return for their nightly menu to try what else they have to offer! If you have someone in your life you care deeply for bring them here. The atmosphere is candle lit, cozy, and intimate. 10/10

We visited Daisy's Bistro to celebrate my Aunts 80th birthday and husband's 68th. We were seated in a semi secluded area, which was great because there were 8 of us. Setting is very intimate! The service and food were outstanding!!
