- LLettyNew Orleans / Louisiana •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe food at M Bistro was all exceptionally delicious. The service was superb, and the ambiance is fantastic- a truly beautiful venue, as is the entire Ritz Carlton. Our only 2 minor complaints are that the restaurant is difficult to find in the hotel. It's on the third floor behind the bar. We wandered around a while trying to figure out where it is, as directions are not displayed anywhere. The second is the coffee is similar to New York coffee- more watery than we're used to in New Orleans. But all in all, I heartily recommend M Bistro, and we'll be happy to return. As for the food, I had the redfish, which was really outstanding. The oysters Rockefeller were a unique recipe, but excellent.More infoM bistroPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• French Quarter•4.1
- JJanVIPIndiana •68 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe came for Valentine’s Day and had a lovely time, as usual. We did not order the prix fixe dinner but instead ordered off the regular menu. My husband had gumbo, and the red fish, and a side of fried Brussels sprouts. I had the starter raviolo as my main with a side of charred green beans. Delicious! Thank you, Atchafalaya, for another wonderful evening.More infoAtchafalaya RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Creole / Cajun / Southern• Garden District•4.9
- RRyanNew Orleans / Louisiana •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWonderful experience. Staff was awesome, including the secondary waitstaff who assisted with drink refills/other items. Upside down cornbread wasn’t awesome, BBQ shrimp sauce was a little overpowering, but flatbread, fries, and dumplings were fantastic. Cotton candy was a cute and fun addition - made the kids feel special. Will absolutely return to try different items - about to choose from.More infoMerilPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Warehouse District•4.5
- VVeronica MVIPWisconsin •338 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoMs. Chalaine was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food was delicious. We recommend the Eggs Benedict, Eggs Sardou, and, of course, the Bananas Foster. The Brennan's Bloody Mary is one of the best, if not the best. Dining at Brennan's is an enjoyable and relaxing experience.More infoBrennan'sPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.7
- DDuckyNew York City •1 review4.0Dined on Feb 7, 2025I have eaten here before and loved it but was disappointed this time. The oysters were gritty. I was anxious to have the buttersquash salad but it was a different preparation than listed on on line dinner menu and was a heavier salad with spinach. I didn’t catch the difference before ordering. The crab eggrolls were very good. Not terrible but just not what I have learned to expect from past visitsMore infoApollinePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Uptown•4.5
