Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Uptown

Wonderful experience from the front door throughout! The ambiance was 5 Stars. We made reservations for Thanksgiving dinner (night) and were greeted and seated quickly. The waiter (Devon) and his partner were great in explaining options and key items, including taking note of allergies at the table. The food options were great and plentiful. We started with crab fingers and Pork Belly over cheese grits. Followed by the Turducken with cranberry sauce, sweet potato souffle, and oyster dressing. The second plate of Turducken came with spinach, crab mac, and cheese, which were all very tasty. We were full and had to take our desserts to go. The wait staff was pleasant, attentive, swift, and responsive. I really appreciated the level of service and quality. I highly recommend it and will return when I am back in town!

When booking with OpenTable, we weren't able to get a reservation until 815. We are from Eastern standard time so we're quite hungry. We stopped in at 5:30 to see if we could change our reservation and they were able to change it to 630. So polite and accommodating from the first moment. The service was exquisite, so friendly and happy. I wish I had gotten the waitress's name. And everyone was happily accommodating when my daughter wanted her steak cooked a little bit more. My lobster was fantastic. Perfectly cooked. Just wish it had been bigger. Overall worthy expense and fun to go to old historic restaurant. 

We had been waiting for so long to go to Shaya! It was a beautiful restaurant with attention to details and amazing service! The fried chicken hummus was incredible and by far our favorite…nothing like it we have ever tried! Comparable to a hummus from a Michelin restaurant in DC…definitely a must try on Shaya’s menu! Can’t wait to return here next time we are in New Orleans!

Lovely experience! Our waitress was terrific- patient with our large diverse group and helpful with menu choices. The food was delicious- especially the char-grilled oysters which certainly lived up to their reputation as Best in Town! Profiteroles topped it all off beautifully. Will definitely return!

This is our old faithful. When we all lived in town we were frequent guest of Apolline! From the candied bacon, the biscuits, bottomless mimosas! Nothing ever disappoints!
