I really enjoyed my time here. I had just come out of hermit mode and was to catch up with two of my favorite people. I chose Bistro Daisy on a Friday night. It was a bit last minute, but I managed to get reservations near their opening time. Everything was great; the drinks (mixed and wine), the food, the ambiance, the noise level (which I'm usually complaining about), and the service. We stayed nearly from opening to close, and they never made subtle suggestions that we should leave (e.g. ceasing to fill our waters) and allowed us to keep drinking at the table, even though it was a busy Friday. read more

Small intimate dining--reservations a must. Food and service are good. Fun evening for dinner--parking is a bit of a challenge.

I've eaten there numerous times, and have never been let down! Sometimes the deserts can sound scarily exotic, but each time they blow me away! The menu is updated on a regular basis, so you can go back many times and not have to have the same food over and over again. read more

My husband and I absolutely love this place! We have eaten at just about all of New Orleans' finest establishments and Bistro Daisy is undoubtedly among the top. We have tried just about everything on the menu at this point (we keep going back) and are never disappointed. The steak is heavenly with its rich red wine reduction, the chicken is so tender it melts in your mouth. The crawfish special is always a favorite as well. Very warm and inviting restaurant where you feel welcome and comfortable. Highly recommend! read more

This place was so nice! A fancy atmosphere, while still being cozy. Everything was delicious and our server was amazing, and knew everything about the food and drinks. The rest of the staff would just as helpful and hospitable. read more

This is a great place for a date! Cute little New Orleans cottage converted to a quiet restaurant with a casual yet upscale ambiance. The service was perfect from the hostess to the waiter. We had an appetizer special- tuna with pesto and crostini that honestly didn't blow me away. But our entrees were outstanding. I had the gulf shrimp sauté with grits and goat cheese. They easily accommodated my request for no meat on the dish. The wine was delicious-Pinot Noir. I'll definitely be back. read more

After making a reservation on Valentines Day with the chef, my husband and I arrived at 8pm only to be told by the hostess that the chef did not "take our reservation." But I assure you, he certainly gave it. So, in other words, because the chef failed to write down our 8pm reservation our valentine dinner plans veered off course. The hostess, presumable the chef's wife, offered no apologies and no other accommodations. She simply stared at us. Naturally, I told her I would be expressing this incident on the internet, which I am finally doing after a cooling period. NOLA has plenty of outstanding dining establishments, but the community is still relatively small. I've gotten all of my friends and family to ban this restaurant and the word is spreading. Good Luck Daisy Bistro. If you continue the nasty service, you won't survive in this town. read more

I've had a week of great meals in New Orleans and tonight's at Bistro Daisy was the best. Every preparation was perfectly done. The wines were reasonably priced. The service was attentive but now at all intrusive. New Orleans has such fabulous restaurants, but this is one that I'd, unfortunately, missed. read more

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! This is a nice family owned business that feels like such a treat from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. I have to go for my favorites which I really get everytime I go....either shrimp and grits or the filet! I know they are always on point. Everything tastes "clean" and fresh. I know the ice cream is home made...so I indulge on that occasionally (little cheat on the diet is ok sometimes!!! lol) The staff always makes me feel like a queen there...I also like it cause its small, I am not one for a huge place with a catalogue for a menu... So awesome read more

It's okay. The service is average, the dining room is kept like an icebox and LOUD - bad acoustics. And the food on par or even less so that what you will find in other local spots. read more

Went here having heard good things and did not leave disappointed! Service was good even though our waitress seemed pretty flustered. We started out sharing an appetizer (the biggest hunk of fois gras I have ever been served cooked perfectly on a bed of risotto) and it came out warm and delicious. Before I move on with the food I'd like to point out that this place has a great ambiance. It is set up in a small cottage on Magazine and it was warm and cozy. I would be wrong if I didn't mention that it was a bit of a tight fit, but it never felt uncomfortable. So yeah, the atmosphere definitely contributed to the meal. As to the service, aside frum the initial confusion of the waitress she was right on point with all of her wine suggestions and was friendly and on top of things without getting in the way. The main dishes were also quite good, and while the GF got shrimp in grits that were solid but not mind-blowing, my dish (smoked duck with wilted baby spinach, butternut squash, and duck confit) was ridiculously good. Each part worked well with the others and I would say that individual parts came together to make an exceptional winter dish. Finally, we ordered the Baked Alaska and coffee/espresso. I never say this because I am not huge into dessert but our Baked Alaska was possibly the highlight of the meal. It was a miniature version of what most people think of when they think baked alaska and it was perfectly browned on the outside and wonderfully cold and tangy on the inside. Definitely high on my list of recommendations now! P.S. Did I mention they make a killer Sazerac! read more

I choose this place on a whim for my post-graduation celebration meal and, let me tell you, I am so, so glad I picked Bistro Daisy. We received excellent service. Even before our meal, we needed to push back our reservation time, and it was no problem at all. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. We started with the oysters, which were delicious. I got the duck, which was incredibly tender and practically fell off the bone. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and devoured it in no time. We split the basked Alaska, which comes with a layer of pineapple sorbet. It may well be my new favorite dessert. It's a fairly small restaurant, so the atmosphere is very quaint and intimate. It's a great place for a special occasion. read more

Bistro Daisy is a great place to simply enjoy a great meal! Cozy converted home, plenty of space between tables, attentive wait staff, and NO corkerage fee--not that you need to bring anything as the wine list is good and EXTREMELY reasonable. We happened to bring in a couple of special bottles and sent a taste to the chef. All I can say is from appetizers to salads to entrees, everyone was very happy with what they ordered and wouldn't have changed a thing. My lamb shank was unique in flavor and presentation and was definately full and happy. However, the chef would not let us leave without a dessert, since no one oredered for lack of room, and sent out his dessert special of the night--a pear dish which I did not try but was told it matched the excellence of the other dishes. GREAT PLACE! read more

This is one of my favorite places in New Orleans. The food is superb, and the ambiance is perfection....lush bouquets of roses, subdued lighting, comfortable seating arrangements....excellent wait-staff. read more

I went here for a late Valentine's dinner with my boyfriend. The atmosphere was just perfect for it. The restaurant is a converted shotgun so the dining area is a bit small. The way everything was decorated was really nice. The wait staff was very good. We had two waiters taking care of our table (or maybe one waiter and an assistant. One took the orders and brought the food while the other kept an eye on drinks and bread and dirty dishes) For our appetizers we got the sweetbreads and a daisy salad. Both were very good. The dressing on the salad was wonderful. For dinner I had the lamb shank and it was perfect. It was well cooked, tender, and very flavorful. My boyfriend got the fish special. I normally am very picky about fish but this was very good. The risotto it was served with was perfect. For dessert we split a chocolate fondue. It was tasty. I wish it came with more things to dip. We got two meranges, two strawberries and a banana. Not a lot even for just one person. read more

Wow, this place is great. Parking is a little tough in uptown area. This place is an old house, converted to a quaint hot spot. Recommend making reservations on busy weekends. Our party of 3 shared a bottle of Pinot Gris. I had the baked oyster appetizer and the grilled gulf shrimp and grits entree. Both were wonderful. Had to keep my phone nearby to decipher some of the ingredients on the dish... Like "mirlitons". For dessert, cream brûlée. Simply awesome. Dinner and service were great. read more

Bistro Daisy is a wonderful restaurant in what appears to be a tiny house on Magazine Street. I have to admit, part of what took me a while to make a reservation was not wanting to be in a cramped restaurant, but upon entering, it is surprisingly spacious and very warm and inviting. I came here for my birthday dinner and couldn't have asked for a better meal. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The food was amazing and fresh, and the portions were good. I found the price to be appropriate for the quality of the meal and the time that we had. You can tell Bistro Daisy goes the extra mile in making sure its customers enjoy themselves and walk away with a memorable dining experience. I can't wait to go again! read more

Nothing but great things to say about this place. If I could give it 6 out of 5 stars I would. I sat alone at the bar and was waited on by the owner Diane, and two servers Rebecca and Jacob. They were all so friendly to me then kind and willing to help each other, which was refreshing to see compared to how most restaurants are run. The food was superb and the prices were more than fair. I will absolutely be visiting again and would highly recommend you do the same. read more

The food was a 4 star but the service was a weak 2 star. Every server was rude and acted like they were inconvenienced to wait on our table. Close to 30 minutes to take our food order and then 1.5 hours to receive our entree. No steak is that good. Sometimes trendy is a definite no go. read more

This was my favorite place to go until my visit on Saturday night. Food was still amazing. I know it was a Saturday night and the place was packed but the acoustics were so bad, I felt like I was in a metal drum with someone beating the sides. I couldn't enjoy the delicious meal nor could I speak to my dinner partner without yelling. So sad but I won't be back. read more

Discovered this gem of a restaurant and it has made my must visit list of places in New Orleans. Savory and delicious food selections along with a diverse and decent wine list. Service was very good. Our waitress had a particularly high knowledge of the wines on the menu. And we were allowed to enjoy ourselves without constant interruptions. No problem with table conversation even with a full house of diners. read more

I had the pleasure of Dining Out for Life at Bistro Daisy this year. From the minute we entered, I knew that we were in for a treat. The staff was very professional yet extremely friendly. Our large party was cut in half by last minute dropouts, but they never missed a beat in serving the group. The bar made a great old-fashioned for me to start the meal. I had the endive salad with spears of Gala apples, bleu cheese, and white wine vinaigrette to start. It was refreshing and creamy at the same time. This was a very lovely way to wake up my palate before my entrée of handmade ravioli with crawfish and mascarpone. Delicious! Although a rather rich dish, the ravioli were cooked and seasoned perfectly and I enjoyed every bite I could. (I had to take some home.) I was too stuffed to even think about dessert, but the options sounded delightful. Serving amazing food in such a cute renovated shotgun house, I'm sure that Bistro Daisy will be on my list of potential date night locations in the future. read more

What a gem this little place is. It's now a favorite of mine and my wife's as well - more like eating in your own dining room instead of at a restaurant. Owned by a couple and named after their daughter Daisy, the wife is the bartender and the husband is the chef. Their back story is as charming as the food is excellent. We were brought there by a longtime friend they know as "Dr. Bob", and I'm grateful he took us to this favorite spot. My wife had the fish of the day and loved it. I started with some terrific salad and then of all things, fell in love with their roasted chicken. Who knew? I know...I know...I know....roasted chicken sounds so mundane and un-gourmet like. Tell me you think that after trying their roasted chicken. We will be back...and back and back again. If I had one complaint it's that parking in this neighborhood is a challenge. Doesn't matter. I'll take Uber or a bus if I have to. But I'll be back! read more

Friendly. Some of the best food if not the best uptown. Great owners and staff. Fish special of the day is can't miss. Soups are always interesting. Well made cocktails. A regular stop for us. Prices are very good when you consider the quality of the food. read more

An incredible dinner! Bistro Daisy is a charming restaurant and the food is amazing. The service was excellent and the owner even greeted us at the door. For an appetizer we had escargot. For the main course I had the filet and it was truly the best I have ever tasted. Creme brûlée for dessert topped off a perfect meal. Do yourself a favor and stop at Bistro Daisy. You won't regret it. read more

Loved this restaurant, the service was wonderful, they could not have tried harder to make us happy. The crab beet appetizers was light,fresh and delicious. Our entrees were so good, and the entire experience was to be repeated again and again. We would highly recommend this restaurant and come whenever we visit New Orleans. read more

What an amazing gem of a restaurant!! This place is in Uptown not far from Tulane and Loyola Universities. I was surprised at first as the restaurant was not crowded at all at 7 PM but within an hour the place was jumping! The food and the service were spectacular!!! What a surprise to find such a neighborhood gem hidden among all the big name restaurants in New Orleans!! Great dish selections with a southern flair and a hint of all things New Orleans. From the salad to the dessert including the amazing service, it was all 5 star!! Bistro Daisy is worth the short drive off the beaten path!! read more

The best place to eat Uptown, bar none. The food is to die for. Don't agonize over what to choose. Just blindly lay a finger on the menu then look: it's gonna be awesome. Friendliest hostess and staff in town. I'd eat here every evening if I could. read more

Decent atmosphere in a nicely appointed shotgun. Food is outstanding. Wine list short but excellent. Unpretentious, fun, knowledgeable wait staff. read more

We have dined at Bistro Daisy several times. Last night was a disappointment. The tuna starter was very appealing--the tuna was not of a good enough quality to be served raw. No sear at all. Duck entree did not wow either--a little dry and overdone. The onion soup lacked flavor and depth. We have loved this neighborhood gem--just a one block walk from our home. Service was very slow. We did not get our drinks until long after the starters had been served. Couldn't get water glasses filled without asking twice. Hoping next time is better. read more

This place is truly a local gem. It's small and intimate and consistently delicious. The menu is smaller but everything on the menu is perfection. The staff is lovely and they add a personal touch when you are celebrating a special occasion which makes your dining experience that much more memorable. read more

Went there last night and the good and service was amazing. The duck was excellent while the chicken and lamb were good. The drinks were very well made while the crepe desert was out of this world. The setting is nice for friends to gather around or to bring a date. Definitely give this place a shot. read more

I was torn between a 4 star and 5 star rating - great atmosphere, very good service and good food. The steak was excellent and the gulf shrimp was very good. Also excellent wine list! read more

Nice atmosphere and good service. Food was average at best unfortunately as I had high expectations. Food was cooked properly but flavors fell flat. read more

Loved my meal at this small little bistro on magazine uptown. The Duck is a fantastic dish, and the restaurant is converted home that has a very cozy feel. I will be back for sure. read more

Great little place with an amazing atmosphere. Nice little find for an out of towner like me. So many great places for food, but this one really stood out for me. I love the feel of the old house turned into great restaurant. Well worth the money spent, actually thought that for how much we enjoyed our dinner that it was very reasonable read more

Go to this lovely restaurant before it gets famous and you can't get a table. Service is impeccable. The food is outstanding and the wine list is interesting and fairly priced or BYO with no corkage. Altogether a restaurant experience worth having. read more

Bistro Daisy was recommended to me by a friend who lived in New Orleans for 10 years. He said it's his favorite and I can see why. My husband and I went for his early birthday dinner and were not disappointed - the food was delicious and a welcome change from all of the Creole and fried food we'd been eating on the trip. The decor is wonderful - it's in an old shotgun house that is so cosy and lovely, with a terrific big wooden bar in the front room. The staff were friendly and it was the perfect romantic dinner for our last night in town. It's off the beaten path from where tourists usually go, which was also really nice. I think everyone else there was local and a couple of generations older than we are, but that meant it wasn't the loud craziness of the Quarter. I had some lobster ravioli to start, which was delicious, and a trout special with crab on top. Both were great and fresh. My husband had the Daisy salad and the lamb shank, which were both really tasty. We shared the baked Alaska (complete with a birthday candle and confetti!) at the end. It was wonderful and I would totally go back. read more
