Curio

quality food, drinks and ambience. cleanest bathrooms on royal street that i’ve been in so far. i appreciate their investment in art and a clean establishment. this is one of the best food / drink menu restaurant that is owned by the creole cuisine franchise, and it’s obvious that they prioritize this place over the others; the employees actually look like their enjoying working for them. handicap accessible. good luck with parking.

The food we ordered for delivery was top notch and super flavorful. My favorite was the crawfish etouffee which we got in the Taste of New Orleans selection three. It had an unbeatable balance of spices and creaminess that went so well with the provided bread. The jambalaya was also a stand out for how punch the flavors were. Then we ended with the perfect sweet treat. The donuts were a pillowy texture that went perfect with the powdered sugar and syrup glaze.

Shoutout to Raiko, such a lovely genuine server. He went above and beyond with us and our pups. Please ask for him, so nice to be helped like this!! Everything was so different and tasty. For appetizers we got the crawfish nachos, OMG sooo good. Who would’ve thought cheese and fish would go so well!!! My sister and I shared the pasta and the shareable app that has all 4 main dishes of NoLa. My favorite was the Gumbo, so good and different from the other places i tried it. My mom had the cheeseburger but it was so juicy so good, perfect temperature and the crispiest fries 🤤🤤🤤 Cocktails were so good and prices for HH AMAZING!!👌🏼👌🏼 We were sat on the balcony, we were able to enjoy the corner, the view and even tho it was hot it was soo fresh. I’ll be back :)

🌇 Curio has a beautiful balcony/veranda for guests to enjoy dinner at. I went at sunset and really enjoyed the views of the city. I would 100% recommend this as the experience was such a memorable one for me. 🌅 My waiter was very nice and served me quickly and efficiently. She explained the menu to me and was very fluent in all the dishes and their ingredients which was important to me as I avoid dairy. I was dining alone and she didn’t look down on me for this or ask if I’m waiting for anyone which was very thoughtful and tactful of her. I really appreciate your service! 🙏🏼 For mains I chose the taster platter of crab ettoufle, jambalaya, red beans and rice & gumbo. It was a great way to explore local New Orlean flavours in a single meal. I would recommend this dish if you’re looking for a variety of food and want to explore the local cuisine! 🫘🍚🍛 For drinks I had a hurricane, a traditional New Orlean cocktail made with rum. It was strong and refreshing and I would definitely come back here again! 🍹 Overall I had a beautiful experience, Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had the Taste of New Orleans and everything was delicious. Great sample of dishes. The bread pudding was amazing! Reminded me of my childhood favourite! Our server Maferina was so friendly and cheerful. We recommend trying this place!

Local gem and a go-to breakfast place. Has something for everyone in the family. If you’re visiting town and want to taste local cuisine, this is it. We went two days in a row because we enjoyed it so much. What we had: fried green tomatoes, donuts, chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, and fried alligator. Delicious blood Mary’s as well.

Stopped in for dessert and we were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the s’mores brownie was! The bartender attempted to dissuade us from ordering it but we’re glad we did!

Came in on a Friday night after making reservations. We were seated upstairs in an empty room. It was a bit odd but I assume this was to separate us from people walking off the street wanting a drink. I thought the drinks were okay but the food was delicious. The staff was very friendly.

Had breakfast and dinner here. Highly recommend Service: staff were all friendly and attentive Food: breakfast and dinner were both delicious. Had the omelets, gumbo, creole red beans and rice. Recommend it all

We did the COOLinary 3 course meal and everything was really good! I love the balcony dining here. The shrimp & grits were my favorite part of the meal. Great place to grab dinner and then walk over to the carousel bar!

The female hostess was amazing. She was able to get us in and seated quickly. The waitress was new but she was phenomenal. We came for the drinks but got meals that were cooked just right and were so delicious!

Got love it! Came across this really cool place while visiting from DC. The handcrafted cocktails were my favorite! All the staff were really nice and great at what they did ! The crawfish pasta was to die for ! So flavorful and I enjoyed every bite! I would definitely recommend them if you’re in the area!!

We were on a field trip and absolutely loved this place! All our apps were delicious. The catfish tacos were amazing! I don't drink but the bartender made me the best little mocktail and it was super reasonably priced. Definitely worth going back again!

Brent was great! I had the red beans and rice with blackened chicken. The chicken was bursting with flavor. I'd definitely recommend.

I took a larg group, about 20, and we had the upstairs dining area to ourselves. Brent was our server, he did a very good job. Prices were fair and the food was good.

Loved the energy of this place. Had no idea I spent hours here. Food and drinks were absolutely delicious. So glad I stumbled across this place. Ask for the off menu cocktail Voodoo Queen. It was so refreshing!! I ordered another.

One of the best meals I've ever had. Absolutely embodied everything I wanted in a dinner in the French Quarter. Cannot recommend enough.

Typical restaurant in the quarter. Nice atmosphere, music, and service. We went for the Thanksgiving meal. It was great for the affordable price of 25$; seeing as how most others where in the 60s and 70s. Everything was moist and delicious, including the crawfish dressing. There was no pie but there was a nice pecan crumble. I would definitely come again.

We were given a list of places to check out by a friend that had been to N.O. Many times, and sadly Curio wasn’t on it. It is now. We jumped in for dinner on a Saturday night because it wasn’t super packed and we had been eating oysters all day. We got the duck gumbo and it was the best thing we had the entire trip. We enjoyed everything we got so much Saturday night we came back for dinner Sunday night too. Do yourself a favor and get here. Everything was great. Driving 600+ miles home today and kicking myself for not taking a duck and blackeye pea gumbo to go.

My mom and I came here for drinks and they did not disappoint! Their Candied Sazerac is amazing, and I enjoyed my blackberry margarita. At our request (and since it was slow at like 4pm), the bartender made a custom drink for me and WOW. Exactly what I wanted. This is the perfect place for a high-quality drink in a great atmosphere.

We were walking down the street looking for a place for lunch, and we stopped in here. The food was delicious. We especially enjoyed the jalapeno grits with shrimp. We also got bottomless mimosas, and our lovely server kept them full the whole time. Highly recommend stopping by and getting yourself some delicious food!

Cozy restaurant with very good food! Price quality is very good. I took the crispy chicken BLT and for 21$ you definitely get enough, where you get too little in other places. Our waiter was also super pleasant. Nice friendly man! Definitely try the bloody marry if you’re in to it. The tastiest we have had so far in the USA (and believe me there are many we have tried) if you like desserts I also recommend the smore's brownie!

The food was delicious! We sat outside on the upstairs balcony which was a nice experience.

Popped in for a nightcap and was reminded why Curio is one of the few bars I trust in the Quarter. If you know, you know— too many spots serve watered-down, sugary messes. Not here. Drinks are solid, and the food? Surprisingly good. In a neighborhood where you have to tread carefully with dining and drink choices, Curio stands out. It’s located on Royal Street, one of my absolute favorites in the Quarter, and the service has never let me down. Highly recommend.

Stumbled into this awesome spot by mistake. My wife got hangry quickly and the food, service, and cocktails really hit the spot. I had breakfast and my wife had a grilled shrimp salad, both top notch. Zander made our experience with great service and knowledge of the quarter. His partner behind the bar also ensured we had a good experience. Highly rate Curio and will be back.

We had a splendid drink at Curio. We popped in on a Tuesday to sit up on the patio and have a drink. My wife really enjoyed her cocktail, just wished it was served in a real glass but might be something with being on the upstairs deck. My beer was good. The service was perfect. Wish I could remember her name but she was around enough if we needed anything but not rushed at all. Definitely will be back next time in Nola.

Nothing like a stroll through the French Quarter at the end of a long music-history tour that started in Nashville, TN. My better half an I were looking for some good jambalaya and we found it here at Curio. The shrimp, the Andouille, the mojo. And even though I'm far from 24 (when I first visited New Orleans some 30-plus years ago), I ordered a hurricane. Service was beyond friendly, bathrooms clean. Couldn't have been a better night cap.

We weren't able to make reservations for another restaurant, so we decided to take a chance here. Our table was ready ten minutes early, so we were able to sit. Overall, our party of 6 enjoyed this place. My wife and I shared the "Fried Combo Platter." The shrimp was good, and so were the fries. The fish was even better. I liked the hush puppies, too. The onion rings were ok, but I can see where some people might not. Don't get me wrong, they are good but not what I expected from this place. One of our friends got the "Shrimp & Grits" and she liked it. Another one had the "Pan Roasted Salmon & Gulf Shrimp," which the salmon looked a little small, but it tasted good. The others had the "Fried Green Tomatoes," which was delicious! I ordered a special "Taylor Swift" cocktail "Cardigan and Coffee" which I didn't like. I think they forgot the simple syrup because it was very bitter like straight-up black coffee. I had to add like 5 sugar packets to tame it.

Wow! Excellent! Thank you for the bottomless Bloody Mary and the amazing food holy goodness. I'm buzzin!

A must-stop brunch spot every time I’m in New Orleans. My favorite place for bottomless mimosas and the perfect way to start a day in the French Quarter!

This place is so good!! It’s a hidden gem. Food is delicious. Drinks are delicious. They’re made very well. The customer service is amazing. They have a great happy hour and are open all day!! A must stop!!

Incredible. The staff was exceptional. The management was Incredible. We had such a wonderful experience we had dinner one night and brunch the next morning.

Really fun experience! We ordered the Reveillon meal. Each course was still full sized and the dessert was so large we took some home. Wait staff was attentive and kind. Only snapped a pic of the starter because the food was so good we dug right in!

My partner and I ducked in here on a Saturday evening to get respite from the crowded streets. We planned to just get one drink each and enjoy the AC and seating before moving on, but it was such a vibe we stayed for three drinks each, and an appetizer. The blackberry margarita was pure perfection, and the fried alligator bites with mayhaw pepper jelly and cilantro lime mayo were PHENOMENAL. The bartender who served us was excellent at making drinks, but not friendly or engaging, which is fine. Being quick and skilled is important but I’m sure she’d be rolling in tips if she made a bit of small talk, haha. We will absolutely be back next time we’re in town, the aesthetics and flavors were all super satisfying. Update: we returned for our anniversary dinner on Sept 6th and it was phenomenal. We ate on the balcony which was SUCH a treat and felt so culturally significant to the city. Our waiter was great and the bartender was friendly and skilled. We got the fried alligator bites again (can’t get enough of that mayhaw pepper jelly!) and my partner got the roasted turkey Cuban and subbed fries for hush puppies because he had been craving them. We loved the experience yet again!

Nice place. We went on a Saturday night at 9 pm for a cocktails. We ordered martinis, tequila, and different cocktails. The place is nice, the bar is good, the place is not so big. I recommend here

The dinner here was awesome. You can get some amazing New Orleans fare as well as elevated dishes for a reasonable price for the location. The spinach artichoke dip was served in a crock and had feta on top. It was great! We had the crab cakes Royal Street, and they were succulent, well-sessoned, and did not skimp on the crab. We also had the creole choice dish and got some local favorites. Our server, Jackson, was extremely attentive, kind, and made us feel at home! His hospitality and service really made this an elevated experience.

The location is perfect. The food is bar-none. I never knew gumbo could be so delicious. For reference, we left Hotel Monteleone and found this gem. It is three blocks from Bourbon St. but oh-so-fun. The service was was a little slow because they were very busy but man, their food is great!

The Taste of New Orleans is like a flight of the most delicious staples and utterly amazing. But then we had the warm bourbon caramel donuts for desert and I could barely get up from the table because they were the best donuts ever. And I had an old fashioned with eagle rare for $16. Five stars - if you are in NO you have to try this place!!!! The service was amazing from Brent!!!!!

Fantastic food, especially the fried chicken tenders on the Chicken & Waffle. Best-tasting, tender, well-seasoned and fried chicken I’ve ever had in 62 years. Service was a bit hit or miss, but our server was tending to multiple tables simultaneously. Definitely do not miss Curio Bistro!

We stopped here for brunch/lunch before taking the train home and could not have been more satisfied. We got a bowl of gumbo to sample as an appetizer and it was just about perfect. I usually don’t like blackened peas in gumbo but damn this was good. We then got three different entrees and all three were great. We sat at the bar and I’m embarrassed I didn’t get the servers name but she was super attentive and friendly. For atmosphere, it’s cozy while being open air. Recommended.

Went here in the early afternoon, service was kind, not slow and not pushy. Staff energy seemed a little low and overworked, but they were nice nonetheless. I only ordered the Shrimp and Grits and it was divine! Loads of flavor, rich, creamy, salty, and a sufficient portion size! I added the sausage for some extra deliciousness. Plateware is beautiful too. Highly recommend! Fulfilled my shrimp and grits craving completely. We sat on the balcony and it was lovely weather for it.

Excelente lugar para comer el sándwich de pollo súper fresco y los cócteles son muy buenos

Mucha clientela a la hora que fuimos, pero personal atento y te avisan del tiempo a servirte la comida..

First and foremost…Amazing food! Everything was top notch. Red beans and rice were out of this world incredible! The catfish tacos were also equally delicious! Our server was also lovely and attentive! We loved everything so much we splurged for dessert! I have to say that did not disappoint either! A surprise pop in turned out to be a highlight of our trip!

The hostess was new and very sweet. We sat at the bar I ordered the Panini and my buddy ordered the BBQ Burger, they both came with fries. We were not disappointed the food was delicious. Restaurant was very clean and so were the bathrooms. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the guy across the street playing his music( out of tune) I understand the man has to make his money. But it was a bit hard to hold a conversation when the music is in your ear. I'm looking forward to taking my wife, but I think I'm gonna ask to be seated upstairs so I don't have to be annoyed with music.

This was the best food we had in New Orleans! Had the shrimp and grits and it was out of this world! Added a little bit of the alligator sausage and that was amazing as well! What highly recommend this place! The service was also outstanding!

We had the BEST brunch experience today with SLADE!! We had a reservation and we were seated upstairs by NATE! We accommodated our needs and gave us the perfect table. SLADE was our wonderful server and was able to answer all of our questions. I really wanted crispy bacon and he delivered!! Order the French toast! It was so good!! My daughter had the chicken and waffles, again it was amazing! 10/10 I would definitely recommend!!!!!!!! Ask for SLADE for the best service:)

A great place to come to for Sunday brunch. Food is tasty and affordable. The bottomless mimosas is well worth it. Server Slade and the manager Channing both were awesome conservationists and definitely made the visit worthwhile. They both need a raise.

I wish I could give the service 10 stars! Our server, Jami, went above and beyond! We were visiting New Orleans for our honeymoon, and this is one of the very few reservations that we made for our trip. The bottom mimosas were perfect (our main interest!) and the food was amazing as well! Jami made our experience even more perfect! Our mimosa stayed topped off the entire time and it was so kind to give us many congratulations! This restaurant was in the perfect location, and we are so excited to visit here again on our next trip!

My party of 6 went to brunch on Sunday, and we had an amazing experience! Nate walked us up the stairs to our table, and he was very accommodating and helpful. Slade was our server and he was AMAZING. He answered all of our questions and was so attentive to all of our needs! 10/10 I would definitely recommend!!!!!

Was pleasantly surprised by this place! Was planning to go somewhere else for lunch that was more recommended but friend group decided to go here instead. Five of us ordered 6 different things and all were basically a hit. Breakfast options were cooked well, my friend said it was one of the best French toasts he’s had. The chicken and waffles looked AMAZING but sadly I couldn’t try it. 😂 I had the gumbo which was good but I can see how some would think it was a little salty. Highly recommend the $20 unlimited mimosas/bloody Mary’s! Our server was busy and so was a little slow but he was ALWAYS refilling our mimosas. The only thing that we didn’t like was that food took a long time to come out. But it was a Saturday lunch and semi-busy. There was a decent sized bar with good cocktail options. Best for groups of 2-4 people I would say.

Slade was an amazing waiter! He took care of our large party without missing a beat. Funny, pleasant and made the visit! Food was great! We had a great variety and enjoyed every bite!

Excelente servicio , la comida excelente lo recomiendo si pudiera ponerle 10 estrellas lo merecen

La comida muy excelente, súper recomendable

El jambalaya es magnífico

Traveled half the earth to NO and. I am happy that I didn’t pick some random fast food but walked into this cute restaurant. Nice cosy feeling and interesting food that I never tried before. For “taste of NO” I picked 3. But portion is not enough for me so I asked for “fried alligator” and a drink. So the alligator is not that different from fired chicken. =P not five star because it is a bit too salty for the two dishes I ordered.

Food was great, best crab cakes! The bottomless mimosas were tasty but keep in mind you can't switch from mimosas to bloody Marys. That would be charged twice.

Visiting from Miami we had dinner here. The location is wonderful with the possibility to eat on the balcony and enjoy the atmosphere of the French Quarter from a privileged position. The food is good, it just came cold so we had it warmed up. The service is nice. Recommended.

Food was incredible!! Service was extremely slow. No one came to get our drink orders for over 5 minutes. We were getting ready to walk out. Glad we stayed though bc the food was absolutely delicious! I got the cheeseburger and asked for a side of the Cajun bbq. I was finished with my hamburger before the server brought it but thankfully it didn’t even need the sauce. Husband got the friend chicken blt and wow the sauce that was on it was so yummy!

While walking around the French Quarter we came across Curio Bistro for lunch. We are outside on the second floor balcony. It was warm, but shaded from the sun. The service and food were good. It was a challenge for the staff, it was busier than normal in my opinion. Everything was served hot and as expected. We enjoyed watching the activity from the balcony.

2nd time here. Really good food. Nice place. Service was pretty good. THE FOOD: Started out with appetizers, Grit Tots, which are grit balls with white cheddar, and a roasted red pepper Coulis (dipping sauce). Kind of a sweet thai chili sauce...REALLY tasty! Fried Green Tomato Chips & blackened Gulf Shrimp was next with a nice remoulade.. great flavor. For my main course, I ordered a Crispy Chicken Blt. WOW! Crispy Buttermilk Chicken Tenders, Applewood Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, Mayhaw Pepper Jelly, Cilantro-Lime Mayo, Sourdough Toast..... I rarely can't finish my meal, but the chicken was a very generous portion, great bacon..... I only ate half. The jelly and mayo added to the flavor. Kind of a honey flavor. Overall, the food and service was terrific. One note, the first floor washroom toilet was leaking and I didn't see the water on the floor until it was almost too late! (Get that cared for).

+2

We sat inside because of the threat of rain, but the balcony was nice for a photo op. For a starter, get the pretzels, pass on the crawfish dip, its much better at Mr Ed's. The shrimp and grits taste good, but the shrimp were a little overcooked. The potato salad was tasty, the rice and beans were good but she asked to leave off the sausage and as you can see it's on the plate. They had donuts for dessert and enjoyed them. If you're a fan of yeast donuts or Krispy Cream, think of an upscale version. The espresso Martini was delicious. The host was very friendly, our server was friendly, we did ask another server about the menu, and he was very helpful

+1

Beautiful location! Royal street is also less busy than bourbon street. So if you are looking for a balcony that is a little less loud than this is the one! The food was mediocre at best. I got the panini and my friend got a salad and fries. Didn’t try their cocktails either but we were happy with the experience!

Thursday night dinner at 7. Must have been a quiet night of the week because it was not busy at all. Requested a table on the balcony overlooking the street and we were one of 3 tables occupied. Food was delicious- Taste of New Orleans, crab cakes and Curio burger (w/gruyere 😋). Service was ok- we had to request silverware and they forgot to give us each napkins. They were also out of the Whispering Angel Rose 😳. But I’m sure on a busier night the atmosphere might be better and more lively. But can’t go wrong with the food!

Buena comida y buen lugar para compartir buenos bocados. Excelentes atenciones

Lindo lugar y muy buena atención

Un error de la camarera nos dejó a medio cenar. No nos cobraron lo traído, salvo la bebida, nos sirvieron dulce y lo que tenían. Buena experiencia

En pleno barrio francés, comida criolla y americana a buen precio y muy rica.

Restaurante de comida local Gran variedad de platos

Stopped in here for late lunch on a Saturday because it was one of the only places without a line, which shouldn’t have been a surprise. The service was excellent, our waitress was attentive and the food came out hot and fast. However the food wasn’t anything special. The eggs pontchatrain was decent, but the breakfast potatoes were pretty bland and stodgy. The portions for the taste of New Orleans were TINY and left much to be desired. We were seated upstairs and it was so ridiculously loud I couldn’t hear my own thoughts, let alone the person I was trying to enjoy a meal with.

I wanted to love this place! The food was just ok. For the fried green tomatoes it almost seems like they thought putting tons of remoulade sauce on it would mask the fact that it was missing other flavors. The chicken and waffles we just as you expect. I think I thought the chicken would have more Nola spice to it. The crab cakes were good, and full of flavor. The service was nice!y only complaint is I feel you don’t get the most of the bottomless mimosas unless you are sitting by the bar since it took so long off then to get us refills. I’d definitely give this place another shot to try other things.

Food was a 3.5/5 but service is less than mediocre. I am currently waiting for food and I have been here for 2 hours. And the bottomless mimosas aren’t that bottomless if the waiter doesn’t come to your table.I I do not recommend this place for bigger groups of more than 6. Update: Gumbo is good! Just wish the service was better

My other party members enjoyed their meal. I had the crab cake Benedict, and it was too salty. Other than that, the service was great, and the view was amazing.

The place was cute, the drinks were REALLY good. I'm fairly certain they were under staffed.. so the service wasn't great. The food was just ok, my turkey panini was super salty. But the pesto sandwich was really good. So maybe it was just an off thing.

+6

Was open Thanksgiving day, which is great! Good food, although everything had an odd aftertaste from the oil used. The Mule in Heat cocktail was amazing! Beer on draft was a much smaller quantity than expected. Not a lot of vegetarian options.

Stopped in for a drink, ended up getting an espresso margarita. It was delicious! We didn't try their food, but it looks amazing. I didn't like how everything felt sticky and their menus were dirty. The service was good though 👍

The food was not what I expected from eating other places here. The fish platter was supposed to feed 2 or more, not so much. The duck gumbo was salty to me. The mimosa was great.

+4

The fried green tomatoes were very appetizing. The crawfish étouffée was disappointing, a few small pieces of meat and very little flavor. This is not what I expected for a restaurant in New Orleans. Mediocre at best. Espresso martini was very good and the blackberry Mojito was very nice. Overall, food was average. Definitely not worth a return. The photo was taken after 3 bites. Best thing was the hamburger that my son had for $20 $200 and not worth it !

El lugar muy bonito. La comida no es muy buena y tampoco el servicio.

Adorable environment and beautiful patio. We enjoyed our food. Service was soooooo slow and disappointing considering it was not that busy. Our drinks came after our food arrived after I reminded them about it.

Normalito ☺️

I normally avoid poor ratings but eating at Curio Bistro was a very poor experience that I would prefer visitors to the City not have. The decor is pretty and the building is nice. The staff are not at all friendly or engaging and the service is non attentive. The food is mediocre, nothing that cannot be had much better almost anywhere else. A good place to avoid.

Came here for happy hour. This is like a slightly upper-scale Applebees. Happy hour menu was great, consisted of food and drinks, pickles and pretzels were good but nothing that I’d have to have again. Service was a huge miss for us, could be a cool place if the staff was a little more professional. Bartenders and staff were messing around the entire time (mostly at the well pickup area) and very unsanitary behaviors were observed. I had stuff floating in my water cup and asked for a different glass of water. Bartender emptied the cup, and then proceeded to put ice water in it. I mentioned I wanted a different cup because it was obviously a dirty cup when given to me. She then poured the water from the dirty cup into a new cup. On top of that, servers kept playing with the garnishes with their dirty hands and putting them into drinks. Barf! We planned on eating more but I just couldn’t stomach staying here any longer.

Super small, really hot and they had the door open. We had to send back the shrimp and grits. Everything was just OK, but it was almost 200 for 2 adults and 2 kids. The guy at our hotel recommended it but it was not the best NOLA had to offer. I'd pass.

Their Bloody Marys taste like straight tomato juice. They also charge extra for any toppings. No lime lemon or olives or green beans.

No clue how the food is. Took forever to have a drink order taken. Probably about 15 mins after we were sat to have a server acknowledge us. Then another 10 or so minutes to get our drinks... water and a coke. We ordered dinner when we got our drinks. Then our server basically disappeared until she told the table next to us.. she was sorry for the wait and would remove missing food from their bill. 30 mins later no server no food... we left money for the coke and left!! I can't say anything about their food but the service is lack luster so I'd go somewhere else.

Stopped by for dessert and had the bread pudding. Where it was soft it was tasty but the outside of the slice we were given was pretty hard sort of like something you would microwave too long. The worst part was the cost of a small beer Abita. It was $9. I’ve had 22 oz Abitas for $10. Just not worth going back for me.

We got the jambalaya and crawfish etouffée, both were lukewarm at best and way too salty. Crawfish was clearly frozen and not fresh at all. Paid ~25 dollars for each and we were extremely disappointed. Worst meal we’ve had on our NOLA trip, definitely do not recommend.

EDIT 1/1/26: So I was given the email address in the manager’s reply, but when I emailed back in October, I never received a response. Just emailed again, and it bounced back to me saying that email address can’t receive emails. Soooo nothing has been rectified. Giving the appearance to other Google viewers that you care when you really don’t. Now my experience is worse. Lost another star. October 2025 - Unfortunately, we had a pretty terrible experience here which is a shame because of all the positive reviews. Not sure if it was because it was a Sunday or what. It took a while to get seated even with a reservation. We’ll let that go. We were seated upstairs where it was freezing. We ordered 2 drinks which came out right away and were pretty good. Ordered 2 soups, a side salad, and fried green tomatoes app. Side salad came out and then we waited an hour and 5 minutes for the soups and app. That’s insane. I’m mad at myself for waiting. The waitress checked with us once while we waited for the rest of the food but just said “sorry the kitchen is slow”. Yet everyone around us seemed to be getting food. Finally when food arrived the French onion soup was tasty, but super thick and the cheese on top was barely even cooked. My husband said the gumbo was good. The app was inedible. Truly. And my husband eats everything and hates to waste. Waitress didn’t check how our food was. Bill comes out and it’s $87 which is outrageous for waiting that long and not even being able to eat the app. I would’ve said something, but it felt like the staff was inaccessible and confused. Really disappointing for a New Orleans food experience.

Looked menu over because wife has shellfish allergy. Started with wife has allergy. Ordered Gator and red beans and rice. Gator was over cooked. 1 spit out 2 pieces you couldn't chew, rest was tough. Red beans I've had better elsewhere. And now we sit in the hospital, trip ruined because they poisoned her. But dont worry we paid before we left for the hospital, she was breaking out at the table.
