Okay y'all, when I tell you I had my doubts.... They were absolutely unfounded.This place was AMAZING. Everything, the food, service, ambiance, bathroom, and cocktails.I brought my brunch bunch in this last Saturday for the bottomless deal. We had a 12 top and never wanted for a thing!I was actually SURPRISED at how effective the mimos were, despite the fact that they mixed them for you (not my favorite thing and I had called ahead and was told they specifically DID NOT DO THIS, but it all turned out to be just fine).Everything everyone ate was DEVINE. Not a single complaint to be had by my party of 12. That's quite a feat. I was having so much fun I didn't even get pictures of the food!I had the boudin has, delicious but the star of the show (besides of course our AMAZING, SWEET, PATIENT, BUTT KICKING server, Tara ?I think)) was the crawfish pie. It was more like a pot pie, with poached eggs. Absolutely DELICIOUS. And sooooo my charbroiled oysters to choose from!At some point there was gumbo and beignets too... Mmmm!This place is right around the corner from my job and I will definitely be back! Thanks Trenasse!2024 update- I have been back multiple times for both brunch and dinner and honestly everything is just as amazing every time. The service, the food, the ambiance... It just all hits even the price points! Don't sleep on the oyster log!!!Parking: This place is inside a hotel on St. Charles in the CBD - do with that information what you will!

First place we ate when we got to New Orleans and we seriously discussed eating there every night. Everything was so good! I never knew how good scallops are supposed to be. These were buttery and melted in your mouth. The Louisiana crawfish Pie was amazing! The crust had such a good flavor. The show stopper, however, was the beignets. Seriously better than Cafe Du Monde's......Gasp!!! Yes, I said what I said.

We arrived late at Intercontinental Hotel and wanted to have a drink and a snack. As per the hotel website we went to the hotel bar, Trenasse. Much to our surprise we were not able to charge the bill to our room. They told us the system was down and has been down for quite a while. There was no mention of this fact on the menu or signage at the bar. The manager apologized by saying “sorry” at least a dozen times. She did not offer to comp us even one drink because of this inconvenience. We feel sorry for the staff who are disadvantaged by such a poor level of providing truthful information to customers by upper management. Our experience reflexes poorly on the hospitality visitors to NOLA expect.

Food was not great, but the drinks were pretty good. Service is extremely slow. They were very kind, but severely understaffed. A nice spot to grab a drink at the bar in the area.

We initially chose this place because it was close to our hotel and the other restaurant we had intended to go to had a 45min wait. Honestly - it was a good thing we ended up here as Trenasse provided the best dining experience we had on our four day trip - so much so we ended up eating here for dinner twice! The service is incredible, helpful, and very friendly - they were very accommodating to our large group which included a toddler. The food itself is incredible - we especially loved the oyster platter. If you happen to be in the CBD area - this place is a must!

A peer and I were working in New Orleans and wanted some food Cajun food. I’m from the south so I’m super critical on restaurants that claim they serve good Cajun food. After eating dinner at Trenasse, I would recommend them to anyone.I had the trio with Crawfish pie, shrimp and grits plus trout. Two of those three were AMAZING! The trout was good but didn’t quite hold the line like the other two. The service could have been a bit better but it wasn’t terrible. I will for sure be going there again.
Fast and friendly service. They offer bottomless mimosas.

Went for our first meal in NOLA just in time for their fabulous $7 Happy Hour menu with a nice offering of food and drinks. So happy we shared so we got a broader introduction to Creole cuisine (or maybe Cajun or maybe both? Even after looking it up I still don't know how to distinguish between the 2 ! ) Ratings: * for good, ** for great FOOD Happy Hour menu: *Uncle Duke's BBQ shrimp-3 shrimp served with a delicious rich sauce *boudin bites-2 pieces traditional pork and rice sausage crawfish hush puppies- not a hit with our group **Raw oysters (half a dozen $7)- super sweet and fresh and half price! My cousin ate 2 dozen these by himself! Regular menu: **Louisiana crawfish pie- delicious creamy pot pie with a nice crust on top *fried green tomatoes *blue crab bisque - my friend ordered this but it wasn't what she expected, maybe because of the sherry? So I graciously volunteered to help her eat it! DRINKS Gator bait cocktail- pineapple juice with jalapeño infused tequila, a little bit of a bite to be expected! White peach sangria- very easy to drink! Nice blend of flavors Get here between 3-6:00 pm so you don't miss it!

Needed a private room for a large group on short notice. Trenasse was able to accommodate us. We were blown away with the service and the quality of the food. Will plan on coming back here again.
