- SSandraOrlando / Central Florida East •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoA delicious brunch and so nice to see the musicians. They went table to table and took requests. The place is beautiful. It was a leisurely brunch (took 2 hours) with service on the slow side. Make sure you aren’t in a rush. The food was fantastic! Everyone in our party gobbled up their entrees and we all split the king cake for dessert. It is New Orleans after all.More infoBroussard's RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.3

- 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
- BBlakeNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoCouldn’t say better things about our experience at the Palace Cafe. We enjoyed a spectacular Valentine’s Dinner here. We sat upstairs amidst a wonderful love-themed playlist. Many places were doing prefix menus which isn’t ideal for those with too many dietary restrictions and thankfully they were also extremely accommodating for all of their dishes so we could get exactly what we wanted. Ligelle (not sure if I spelled his name right) was a phenomenal server. An absolute class act with perfect suggestions and willingness to go the extra mile for us. We started by splitting the Beet and Marscarpone Salad - absolute incredible. My wife ordered Steak Frites (normally a lunch item, but they were willing to make it) and I ordered the Andouille Crusted Fish and both dishes were divine. We both ordered the Bananas Foster which Ligelle made right at our table and we were incredible impressed with its simple yet elegant flavor and presentation. Highly recommend the Palace Cafe!More infoPalace CaféPrice: Moderate• French American• French Quarter•4.4
- 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
