Best Hot Spot Restaurants in New Orleans

This was a spectacular dining experience during which we celebrated our friends' anniversary. The food was amazing, and the service outstanding. We had a reservation and although the restaurant was packed, we were seated promptly upon our arrival.

Whenever we visit New Orleans we try to have at least one dinner at the Chophouse. Our food was excellent last night except for the Carpaccio which was served differently than we were expecting; it was almost frozen. Our server Joseph C was not engaged at all; he had no personality and he was not the least bit attentive. I reflected our dissatisfaction with him by the tip that I left. We told the hostess on the way out that we were not pleased with our server. The busy boys were far more pleasant than our server.

A favorite dining experience in New Orleans. The service and ambience are elegant but not stuffy. Every dish we’ve tried has been excellent. Favorites are Poached Pear Salad, Shrimp & Grits, BBQ Shrimp.

Can not say enough good things about our dinner at Vessel. My wife and I went while on vacation for Thanksgiving Dinner. They had a three course fixed menu. Every course was Delicious. The pork was Phenomenal. Cooked to Perfection and was so tender. The drinks were strong and flavorful. Our server Ben was Fantastic. He was working Thanksgiving, yet was cheerful, prompt, and a pleasure to talk to. For being busy it was not overly loud and had a Great selection of background music playing. Last but not least, the restaurant was stunning! The Old Church was so Beautiful and the Bar was so neatly designed. Will absolutely be back when in town

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!
