Best Casual Restaurants in Central Business District

First time at Luke before a proposal! New brunch spot for us. Wait staff, management, and food were all above par. Murder point oysters were great and you could tell they cleaned the shells which you don’t see often. Pork belly app melted with each bite in the best way. Shrimp and grits/green tomato Benedict were unreal. Big thank you to all the Luke staff for being an unforgettable part of our very special day.

I like Red Fish Grill. My first meal on my first trip to Nawlins was there and I've been a fan ever since. Good food, great service and ambiance that fancies up Bourbon Street a lil bit. Loved the Boufin balls and whatever sauce that is that they came in. Only thing I want a fan of was their fried okra, which tasted pickled or horse radishy but everything else was excellent. Who puts Rosemary in a boozy lemonade? Red Fish does, and it was gooood. I'll be back my next trip to New Orleans.

As usual, we had a very good experience. We had one of our two preferred servers (Rivers and Sarah) take care of us. Rivers was accommodating and attentive; Sarah stopped by to say hello. The Sardinian red was a very good match for the new funghi pizza. We asked Rivers about the availability of fresh thyme for the pizza and he brought some out. It turned a very good pie into an excellent one. The molten chocolate tort was outstanding.

Food was all delicious!!! We had the wedge salad which was amazing! The blue cheese dressing was outstanding. We also got the bone in prime rib and it was absolutely delicious! The quality of meat was great and the seasoning and flavor was great. We got mash potatoes which were creamy and perfect. Finished dinner with the butter cake!!!!! It was HUGE but totally worth it even if it was just the two of us!

Not only was the food outstanding, but the wait staff were an absolute joy. Quick, funny and attentive, we had the best time. My husband is an extremely picky eater and they adapted the shrimp cocktail starter for him and basically invented an entirely new dish, which he devoured and loved. The only thing I would say is the amount of food for bites and starter meant that by the time my goat curry came I was very full already!
