Best Lunch Restaurants in Uptown

We greatly enjoyed our Thanksgiving Day experience. We sat outside and with the wind, it was a little chilly but not unbearable. If the overhead heater near us worked, that would have been good. We really enjoyed the food served family-style and our waitress served us at our requested pace. Two things for improvement: (1) the Brussels sprouts were nearly raw (they replaced them with deep-fried, not roasted; appreciate the effort though not the same) and (2) the Cremant we started with was properly chilled but the Pinot Noir was warm and not at cellar temperature, which it should be at a Brennan’s restaurant.

I am local and have not eaten here in a couple of years but was pleasantly surprised to find the food and service was as good as ever. It is in the Brennan owned family restaurants which are the epitome of New Orleans cuisine.

Lovely place, recommended by a local. Ruby was our server and was magnificent!

Lovely & tasty, as always. We had a super helpful young lady waiter. She was delightful. Food is always excellent. We went on the early side — 11:30 — so at first it was wonderfully quiet and even as things picked up & families came in with children, it was not too loud ever, just festive.

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!
