- JJenniferVIPNew Orleans / Louisiana •57 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe visited this restaurant for our anniversary. The food and drinks were delicious. Our meals consisted of the red fish special, pork chop special, the pasta and a filet. Along with the tuna appetizer, chicken and andouille gumbo and creme brulee dessert and the chocolate dessert. The restaurant was packed and it was very loud, but our server was great. Food came out promptly. We only had to wait for drinks, but considering how busy they were, it was understandable. Next time we are in the Hammond area, we plan to dine again! Definitely worth the money!More infoOne Thirteen RestaurantPrice: Moderate• American• Hammond•4.5

When it comes to celebrating a birthday, graduation, or just feeling alive in the Big Easy, the stage is set with buckets of seafood, cocktails in James Beard Award-winning bars, and grand dining rooms that have hosted generations of milestone events.

Among the standouts, there’s a brand-new izakaya helmed by a meticulous executive chef who spent time in Japan and a Mid-City tapas bar that churns out a one-of-its-kind, afterhours brunch for the midnight munchies. Book one, book all, and be warmly welcomed at these four new restaurants, representing the best of New Orleans right now.
