I went really far out of my way to come here. I walked up to the front, it wasn’t too busy. I saw many seats open. I waited at the front for about 9-10 min while several staff members walked right by me. Long story short I never got seated. And left and went somewhere else. That said, while the food looks good, I did not have the luxury of trying it. My review is solely based on service I didn’t experience because I was not greeted and walked by by several people.

The $1 lunch martini is a ridiculous deal. But everything was really good as well. Amazing bread pudding and we don't usually eat dessert.

All of my senses were OVERWHELMED with pleasure at Criollo's Jazz Brunch! The service and food was superb Michelin level quality. The live jazz band kept me entertained as I was coursed out. The chef elevated the fried green tomatoes and chicken biscuit to an award winning level. The chicken biscuit was smothered in jalapeño's, scallions and the best rue I have ever tasted so I sent my compliments to the chef. Every delectable bite forced my eyes shut so I could deeply enjoy the freshness, flavor and texture. While I was enjoying coffee the chef sent complimentary Rosemary & Lemon Custard Madeline's. It was an innovative way to approach this classic pastry. My only critique is the custard on top was so good I wanted more. Very light, fresh, and balanced melody of flavors. The consistency was reminiscent of a fusion between a scone and puff pastry. You can tell the French invited fries by how well the fries here complimented every dish. It was such a phenomenal experience, I found myself making reservations for the next day halfway through brunch and I am happy to say the food, service and entertainment are consistently great here. The fancy French atmosphere at Hotel Monteleone was fit for a Queen and the bathroom attendant cleaned the stall prior to each guests use. This is a must try spot in The French Quarter.

This place is very accommodating, friendly and warm. Alexander was our helper and he was the best- so is Roy. We had a family post graduation dinner here and it is unforgettable. The manager even came to check on us. Alexander took time talking to us about the menu and even directed where to go for a walk after. The ambiance is very classy. I would recommend this place especially to people who want to learn about the local foods and how they prepare them.

Great 3-course prix fixe menu with $1 martinis tucked away inside Hotel Montelone offered Monday-Friday. I was pleasantly surprised by the food choices and fair pricing for a hotel restaurant. I am looking forward to returning for the Le Petit Chef experience. Looking forward to trying the BLFGT and Eggs Calcasieu.Wheelchair accessibility: Entry from garage side ramp and direct access to lobby and ground floor restaurant.

The food and service were so exceptional we went twice. Our server we had the first day was Jorge, he was amazing and remembered us on our second visit and greeted us by name. Our second visit we had Erica and she was also great. It is very apparent the staff here have had top notch training. Overall amazing service and food, true southern hospitality. A must while in New Orleans.

Loved my experience and will return. The only thing was I wished the omelet was cooked with a little flavor or seasoning. It tasted quite bland, and I had to add salt and pepper to it. Once added, it was delicious. The Jazz playing in the background was an amazing touch.

Lovely restaurant. Food was delicious. Service was good but no explanation of specials or menu items. It was freezing inside but it's in a hotel so they probably have no control over that.
