- MmikeNew Orleans / Louisiana •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoA remarkable resturant. Terrence served our table professionally, and kindly. he was wonderful to us. The food came out promptly, and was marvelously prepared. Very flavorful, and delicious. We will go back many times. the resturant was full, perhaps 500 diners. The kitchen, and staff handled it superbly, and professionally. A top 5 dining experience.More infoMr. B's BistroPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.7
- CCaroleNew York State •10 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis has been the best restaurant in New Orleans we have experienced. The service was attentive, especially since we had a child in the group. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was excellent, even tho the room seemed noisy, we had a corner round table for six of us and could talk in normal tones and everyone was heard. A perfect evening. So glad it was recommended to us!More infoMuriel's Jackson SquarePrice: Very Expensive• Creole / Cajun / Southern• French Quarter•4.7
- BBonnieNew York City •4 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoMy husband and I came to the restaurant to pay homage to the great Chess Master, Paul Morphy, and the restaurant was a way to visit the place. The house belonged to the prominent Morphy family and they have a small room dedicated to him with a chess board and a photo of the great Chess Master. Brennan's is THE place to have brunch! They are justly famous for the quality of the food. AMAZING: Blueberry Cornmeal Cake, Seafood Gumbo, Eggs Sardou, Eggs Hussarde, all the sides and try the New Orleans Style Coffee.More infoBrennan'sPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.7
- JJeffNew Orleans / Louisiana •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoAs always Antoine's was excellent. Antoine's is the #1 fine dining experience available anywhere in New Orleans, and it has never disappointed. My wife and I have been coming here for 27 years and have enjoyed each visit. The staff was professional, courteous, and easy to summon if we had a request for something. They have a pride in their establishment that comes across in their dealings with customers. Very few restaurants, even in New Orleans, can say that any longer. Russell and Roland were both consummate professionals and took exceptionally good care of us. And it was great to see Charles Carter again. Charles waited on us on our first visit 27 years ago and many times since, and has always made sure we're taken care of. The Reveillon menu dishes were prepared perfectly and were delicious as always. I was pleasantly surprised to see a NY Strip as a choice for the main course and both my wife and I received our steaks cooked perfectly. We even had a special request for dessert and it was handled with no problems. If you're coming to New Orleans, Antoine's is a must. How many restaurants can say they have been in business with the same family since 1840? I hope to still be around to enjoy a visit in their 200th anniversary year in 2040.More infoAntoine'sPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.6
- JJanineNew Orleans / Louisiana •5 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoFood and service were exceptional. We had the ceviche’ and lobster ravioli appetizers then ordered Hallibut with scallops and shrimp risotto — the signature dish — and the Parmesan-crusted sheepshead with lemon butter and browned capers served either asparagus as our main courses. Everything was perfectly prepared! We ordered 3 desserts to top it all off: the salty malty ice cream pie, the white chocolate bread pudding and the chocolate mouse in a dark chocolate dome with raspberry gelee’. Perfect evening. Except for learning at the end of the night that our parking would not be validated. We were not told to bring the parking ticket to the front desk at the beginning of the night. If you go to GW Finn’s and expect to get parking validated, do not pay the garage when you park (despite the fact that all of the signs in the garage and the boots on cars are somewhat threatening in there). Instead, take your unpaid parking garage ticket directly to the front desk at the restaurant for validation with a picture of your license plate. This was the only sour note of our evening. Otherwise, it was perfect!More infoGW FinsPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• French Quarter•4.9
