    This is my favorite restaurant in New Orleans. I have eaten here many, many times and I have never been disappointed. Highly recommend the brussels sprouts, the French 75, or anything that strikes your fancy.

    I had an outstanding dining experience at Morrow Steak House, and I can’t praise the staff enough for making it so memorable. From the moment I walked in, I felt incredibly well taken care of. Santiago, our server, was attentive, personable, and ensured every detail was perfect throughout the evening. His recommendations were spot on, and he had a great sense of timing when it came to checking in on us without ever being intrusive. The kitchen staff, led by Chef Corey, truly impressed me. The steak was incredibly tender, cooked to absolute perfection, and seasoned just right—no need for anything extra. You can tell they take great pride in their craft. The entire meal was beautifully prepared and presented, showcasing the skill and passion of the kitchen team. I also want to acknowledge the fantastic support from the servers' assistants, Orely and Chaz. They were both professional and efficient, ensuring our glasses were never empty and that everything ran smoothly. Their seamless teamwork made the evening feel effortless. Finally, a big shout-out to the management team, especially Rico, for orchestrating everything flawlessly. The service, food, and atmosphere were all top-tier, and it’s clear that the staff’s dedication to excellence makes Morrow Steak House a standout destination. I’ll definitely be back for another fantastic meal soon!

    Tragic start to NYD considering the Bourbon St attack. Brennan’s opened late, we called to confirm our reservation too. Cindy & Sheldon were great. We went w/ Sheldon’s recommendations - Eggs Carpaccio (our fav), Oysters, Eggs St. Charles + Owen’s Scotch Egg. Definitely, we did the Banana Foster. The Musicians were a great addition. We had a better experience here vs Mr. B’s Bistro last night.

    This was our first experience at Nobu New Orleans, but we’ve eaten at other Nobu restaurants before. The New Orleans restaurant lives up to the reputation established in other cities. Food was delicious and service was impeccable. Two negatives: a little too much noise from the casino and parking. We had to pay $40 to park in the garage after spending over $300 for dinner. Parking should be comped if you dine at the restaurant.
