    I dined here for lunch. I had their Coolinary menu, which was nice. The service was good and music selection was also great.

    My wife and I were booked at the Hotel de la Poste. 3rd Block Depot is the hotel's restaurant and bar. We only ate at the restaurant a couple of times for breakfast but enjoyed the bar almost each of the 5 nights we stayed at the hotel. The food was REALLY good especially the beignets we ordered twice. First were the Bananas Foster Beignets! Wow! A day later we ordered a plate of traditional Beignets covered with powdered sugar and served with a side of caramel sauce. Can you decadent and delicious? They were some of the best beignets we tried while in New Orleans. The bar was stocked to the brim and had a very friendly staff to welcome guests and prepare the perfect cocktails. Of course I had to try a Sazerac, the signature cocktail of New Orleans. The Sazerac was the first cocktail to be mixed and served in New Orleans and the United State. 3rd Block Depot's take of the cocktail, "3B Sazerac" was very good. I didn't have anything to compare it to since I had never tried one. My wife and I would grab our cocktails and head out to the hotel's beautiful courtyard. Thank you, 3rd Block Depot, for a wonderful time and great service.

    A hidden gem with delicious food & good service despite it looking like they were short staffed. The peach salad was refreshing & delicious! One of the best salads I've ever had. The beignets were also good! The butternut squash gnocchi was good. All around a great meal!

    The food is delicious and flavorful. The ambiance was casual. The service was great. When we first arrived, it took 2-3 minutes to be seated because the only server, who is also the host, was having a conversation with a customer. The server was friendly; he stated it was his first day after transferring to NOLA. I noticed that our server was very attentive to detail - he even asked if we had any allergies that they needed to be aware of! He even asked if we are OK with our food coming out all at once or to start with appetizers. He checked on us a few times throughout our meal and later started a conversation with us as well. The food was very flavorful. We were surprised that the Crawfish Dip was served with tortilla chips when it states crostini on the menu. The Yakamein was very flavorful. The shredded pork was mildly spicy to a Minnesotan taste bud, we don't do spicy well. I also tried my husband's braised short ribs and everything was flavorful and the meat was tender. Overall, excellent cooking. I also didn't know the restaurant was affiliated with W Marriott Hotel.

    Ordered an iced coffee and it was nooo good. I wouldn't recommend ordering one here. The banana foster French toast was yummy though! My sister ordered the egg Benedict and the eggs were hard as a rock which was odd, but here potatoes were awesome. Very cute bottle decor that drew us in. Could just use some small improvements with food and coffee

    crawfish dip, crispy brussel sprouts, crab cakes, abita beer brined chicken breast, butternut squash gnocchi
    Joyce K.

    The interior of 3rd Block caught my eye as I was waking past it, so I made a dinner reservation for two on a Tuesday evening. The walls of the interior consisted of shelves lined with various glowing bottles, which made the restaurant look very modern and elegant. When my friend and I entered the restaurant at the time of our reservation, there were only a couple parties present, but we were seated at a wobbly table. The host himself noted that the table was wobbly, so we were confused as to why we were not just seated at another table, as there were plenty available. We ordered the crawfish dip, crabcakes, chicken breast, gnocchi, and crispy brussel sprouts to share. To our dismay, the food took an entire 50 minutes to come out. While waiting, we even called the host over to confirm whether or not our order had been put in, and he said that he would go and check to make sure. The crawfish dip had colorful tortilla chips with a healthy-sized bowl of the dip and the crabcakes (2) were beautifully presented with a pile of red cabbage slaw in between and an orange sauce drizzled on the plate. The side of brussel sprouts also looked very tasty. In terms of the mains, the abita beer brined chicken breast looked very underwhelming as it was a small piece of chicken in a shallow soup of the cassava root purre and chicken au jus. The gnocchi, however, was a colorful dish with grape tomatoes, butternut squash, and kale. Both my friend and I were huge fans of the crawfish dip and the crispy brussel sprouts. The chicken, as it appeared, was just alright and the bone in the chicken breast was unexpected and made it difficult to eat. The gnocchi was tougher than we expected, so it was probably overcooked and the crab cakes had a slightly weird non-crabby taste to it. Overall, I was a bit disappointed in our experience at 3rd Block. I had high hopes for the restaurant, but many of the dishes did not meet our expectations and the extensive wait for the food to come out despite the lack of a busy restaurant was frustrating. It was nice that all the food came out at the same time especially since we waited for so long.

    if I could give this place six stars for the food, I would definitely done that. It was one of the best gumbos I've had absolutely perfect. I also had their seared peach salad, which was absolutely perfect for what I wanted. My daughter got the bacon burger and fries which she said was very very good and the fries. I tried were quite tasty. Our waitress was very helpful, friendly and accommodating The decor was clear bottles. I'm not quite sure if there was anything in them, but it was quite pretty the way it was set up and the tables were comfortable.

    Shrimp tacos.
    Elle V.

    I had the shrimp tacos. They are small - 4 bites - but with 3 shrimp each it was plenty. The flavor was great and I enjoyed them. The live music was awesome. Not too loud and the steel guitar and vocals were just perfect. The service was so slow it might mitigate the food and music.

    King Cake  Bread Pudding

    The Doctor and I made a reservation here for dinner as we wrapped up our Nawleans trip. Based on the menu, it looks like a good place to check out. I was also curious to see if it had the same feel as Sobou when it was in the space. The space is still cool looking and inviting. Food-wise, the dishes were good. The short ribs were nice and tender and the meat pies had a lovely pastry crust. I wasn't too thrilled with the crab cakes for the price....when you look at the photo, they were definitely on the small side for the price. The Doctor did like the Abita Beer Brined Chicken Breast with charred okra, cassava puree and a kale chip. And the King Cake was a beautiful presentation. The big issue for me was the service. The woman that waited on us was very nice and she was from Wisconsin. It was nice to connect with her. The problem was that I think that the only people working the entire restaurant were her and another gentleman, so it took awhile to get drinks and food. Not sure why the restaurant would have so little staff serving on a busy night, but for me it messed with the overall experience. And I felt bad for the folks working. The woman was the hostess as well as waiting on tables, so she and the gentleman were working hard.

    The Mahi Mahi is delicious.
    Mike S.

    The food here is definitely outstanding, and everything we tried was delicious (crab cakes, meatpies, rib eye, mahi mahi, brussels). Great ambiance and vibe, and an exceptional cocktail menu. The waitstaff were extremely friendly, but our dinner took quite a long time.

For entrées we had Banana Foster Pain Perdu, Side of Duck Bacon, Hashbrown, 100% Seafood Gumbo and Fried Catfish. Everything was seasoned to perfection and hot!!! Last but definitely not least are the Cocktails which were very good. Try the Cold Brew Martini if you like iced coffee type drinks and also try the Strawberry Lemon drop for a sweet treat. Both taste great and have a nice amount of spirits in them. This is a must try in NOLA. Will definitely return!!

You have to wait in line to order/pay so depending on how difficult the group(s)/people(s) orders are ahead of you, will dictate how fast this process will go. The place is much bigger than I initially expected. There are 2 floors with seating. It would be hard to accommodate a large party but there's plenty of seating. I live the old 80's/90's theme and decor. Such a great throwback. We ordered 2 drip coffees (you get them in a to-go cups but you can get free refills), and the Grand Slam McMuffin. Both were great. Wish the sandwiches were bigger for the price you pay. $11.50 for a breakfast sandwich is pretty steep, but it's the price you pay considering everything is homemade. I would also like to point out that there is a discrepancy on the price of adding an egg. The menu says it's $2 more but we were charged $2.50. They should really update their menu or be upfront about it. Overall a great place to have a great breakfast. * Please note that you're not allowed to have someone save a table while another waits in line to order. You must order first before being allowed to take a table.

We checked into our nearby hotel a bit early in the day and was looking to hit the streets for a spot to get a chill/light breakfast, a coffee and maybe a cocktail. We found all the things at Luzianne Cafe. Whether you belly up to the bar or grab a table, both of which are first come first serve, you start at the counter where you order, pay and grab your table number. It appears that during busy times they allow you to sit first and order from the QR at your table, this is an assumption given the code to order at the table, but the sign at the entry directed folks to the counter to order before sitting. For breakfast, we got the breakfast biscuit which came with eggs, bacon and cheese, and sided it with grits. The breakfast sandwich was solid, eggs were a bit soft and grits were more mealy than we are used to, but I think that may be authenticity of the area more than anything. I opted for the three option omelet with onion, sausage and gouda plus a side of sausage links. The omelet, though odd sounding combination turned out to be solid. Maybe it was my options, but it was decently "one note" in flavor. I tossed a little hot sauce on and that helped. However, while the sausage links were not much to look at, they were tasty, with a nice snap to the casing and meaty inside. To go with our breakfast, I got a cold brew with a splash of almond milk while my partner embraced NOLA and started his day with a bourbon sour. Both of us enjoyed our choices! Service was friendly and helpful at the counter/bar. The food runner was nice and then another member, assuming the Manager, that stopped by to check on us mid meal. She was super friendly and nice.
