    The food was just okay. The service is very slow, they had what looked like a high school student taking orders. She was trying but she needed someone with her. the ambiance was intimate they had a nice band playing. The menu is very limited.. Mostly fried items. I'm not sure if i would return for food but maybe drinks and appetizers if the bad is playing.

    Brunch on Sundays with r&b music. Love the location and chicken & waffles. The pasta and wings are also good. Great parking.

    Really enjoyed the vibe here -- relaxed, fun, and welcoming. The food was actually really good, and the drinks were decent. The owner was our server, and she was super friendly and help with menu selections, which made the whole experience even better. We had a great time and would definitely go back.

    Growing pains are apparent. I wanted to like this place, and to be clear, I'm still rooting for it. I just can't recommend it as of today. I'll work to revisit and update this review in a few months. I reserved a table about a month ago, and we were seated immediately. And I was able to park right out front. The ambiance is beautiful. It's an intimate, casual, and chic setting, with interesting artwork, colors and textures. My only issue was the periodic flickering of the lights above our table. One minute it was bright, and the next it was dark. Service was lackluster. Our server Javonne had no energy, rarely smiled, and occasionally looked disgusted when describing dishes on the menu. It was so odd and uncomfortable. You expect the server to be excited about the menu, enticing you to spend money. There was also something off about the server, but I'll be diplomatic. We were the only table for a good 15 minutes, and we were parked outside for about 20 minutes before that. The restaurant had no customers during that time, so I don't understand what was going on with the server. Food was ok, overall. Blake's breakfast: 8/10; tasty, but stingy. It consisted of one egg, one slice of bacon, a two inch piece of baguette, and a bowl of grits. Ribeye and eggs: 6/10; we asked for medium well and they gave us past well done. While the cuts were well-seasoned, they were thin and tough to chew. Salmon omelette: 6/10; where's the salmon? Pancakes: 8/10; the side consists of two big and fluffy cakes. They were stingy with the syrup, though, and I had to request more. Water: 6/10; I typically don't comment on the water, but this tap water had a distinct, unpleasant smell. Definitely compliments of Sewerage and Water Board. I'm so over this restaurant non-cash trend where you pay a fee for using a credit card. I was charged a $6 fee just because I used a credit card as my payment method. This used to be a cost of doing business, but passing the cost to the customer has gotten out of hand.

    Second time coming here and unfortunately it was after I praised and bragged how good they were and got some of my family to try them. We had a pretty large reservation (12 people) and was told they couldn't accommodate all of us sitting together even though there was more than enough room in the booth area for us all to be able to sit with one another. COOL! We were the last to arrive and were given paper menus that quickly got soaked due to the table being extremely wobbly. At one point I had to tell my cousin to not place anything on the table to not have it shake like it was having a small tantrum. The vibe was nice again, really solid music playing so that wasn't bad. The waiter we initially had took our drink orders and then completely disappeared. We sat and waited for another waiter to bring the drinks and it took sooo long my wife had to get up herself and get the drinks that were sitting for so long it had gotten watered down. So much for that auto gratuity. When explaining the menu, we were told that they were still only serving brunch (it was 3PM) and then they mentioned the catch of the day (didn't even say what the actual catch was) only to tell us it wasn't available on the brunch menu. The new bartender they had there DIMITRIS kept repeating a sad old tired joke when someone wanted water and he would ask for their ID. He did this a couple times and it was observed he did this apparently to get numbers? Idk it was weird. Food took so long that we all forgot what we ordered. Some other people's food came out so quick that by the time they finished we STILL hadn't gotten our food. Prices we paid don't reflect the price on the menu. On the menu a tequila sunrise is $10, we paid $13 which isn't a problem but there was not one mention that it was more. Craziest part at this point was that I ordered an alcoholic drink and NO ONE asked for my ID. Make that make sense. We finally got our food after about 45+ minutes and I'm not sure why it took so long there was only our party and 1 other table. Chicken and waffles was fantastic and someone at my table even said it was the best fried chicken he ever had in his life. Asked for syrup and the waiter gave us 1 for each person (I guess they're rationing condiments). Eggs and the omelet was overcooked and had no salt or flavor which is disappointing. The first time I had got the tequila sunrise, I found a gnat in it and the bartender immediately made me another and it was delicious but things quickly went from meh to "Why in the hell did we come here?". Whoever the servers are, didn't split the check and put everyone on one bill. No biggie right? WRONG!! My cousin paid for his daughter and her husband which left us with the remaining balance which somehow was about $30 more than we ate for. We did the math adding our meals and the gratuity and the taxes and everything and it consistently totaled about $80 but we were presented a bill of $107. Which apparently still wasn't right. No one seemed to understand how we were overcharged $28. When Blake did come to explain she was SO patronizing and I told her we're not paying the extra $30 because it didn't make any sense. Then in this middle of this whole thing which at this point has gotten worse and worse, the super annoying and obnoxious bartender asked us to leave a 5-star review. I think this guy's drinking on the job because it's no way in hell it was 5-stars. To be fair, he was welcoming and interacted well with the kids but it was way, way too much like chill and let us enjoy the food. No one seemed to enjoy it and we 10/10 WILL NOT RETURN. I probably won't recommend this place and that's a shame because the food was decent. Oh well, c'est la vie. ALMOST FORGOT.. at some point the sever came out to tell us they ran out of grits and I just don't understand how you limit the menu to 12 items and still run out. I don't even know when brunch ends but it could be when dinner starts. Just a really bad experience that has lost them 12 customers and based off how empty the place was, they might need all the customers they can get. Not even sure how you fumble this badly with our group being the only people eating.

    10/10 on the new menu! Great staff/service. The atmosphere was nice with a great playlist. Definitely recommend if you are in the area

    Just left Blake's Place and had an amazing time!!! The drinks were amazing and the food was so good! That honey butter sauce is devine!!! And the staff and Chef Blake are awesome!! This is a hidden gem and a spot that you should make a local destination. And the ambiance is second to none!!! Can't wait to go back for brunch!

    SHORT STORY Brunch/Lunch/Dinner *Check website for menus and times -nice spot to eat -street parking (some paid, some not) -reservations (can walk in but depends on availability like most places) -good food -good environment -cards/cash -Black woman owned LONG STORY Met chef Blake at her Tasty Treat food truck and she mentioned her new spot Blake's Places and I been meaning to try it and finally got a chance to. Made a reservation for about 11:30am on a Sunday a little after the place opened for brunch and was able to sit immediately. Waitress and bartender were really nice and attentive. Ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of the dirty potatoes. Food was good to me! I was happy to have actual wings with my waffle again! Them suckas was on point 100% As other people started to trickle in I thought this a really nice spot, nice ambiance, good service, good food, dope music. Door vibe altogether. I'll definitely be going back to check out another vibe outside of brunch. Go check it out!

    Chicken Parmesan

    It was a nice clean lines and cute decor place. I went for lunch with co-workers. It took the server/staff a minute to acknowledge us. We actually sat down on our own. It also took a minute for the server to get us menus. It appeared that they only had one server. It's a small place. I had the chicken parmesan. It was kind of bland. Cute place, but the service and food were subpar.

    Honestly, I've tried Blake's food before when it was Tasty Treat and even then it was flavorless. The new spot is just as worst . I ordered the Blackened Pasta , and even asked if they could make it spicy!! Upon receiving the food , It looked like I served a kids plate for $26 , I kid you NOT! The food is just BLAND. A drink with the pasta was $52 , but it definitely WASN'T WORTH IT. Aside from that , the ambiance is great. The Bartender service was great .

    Grits with over easy eggs.

    Food was incredible. The service was outstanding. This little small gem came across my radar as a result of a social media post. The photos of the food were good but didn't prepare me for the delicious taste. It's a must on your trip to New Orleans.

    This is my second time at Blake's. First came here this summer and when I came back in town Blake's was on our list of places we had to come back to. Peter was behind the bar and extremely friendly and made our experience enjoyable. The food was great and we will definitely be back again.

This past week we visited and we could both tell right away things were different. The inside of the restaurant was filthy and I mean filthy. You could see the floor under the bar and in the kitchen hadn't been cleaned in months. The fryers hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. Everything just looked dirty and like no effort is put into cleaning and maintenance. We decided to eat anyway which was a mistake. We love their burgers that are cooked and steamed old school. We both ordered one. My wife ordered hers with bacon, which they charge over 3 bucks for. We both ordered our burger dressed with all the fixings. When my wife's burger came out it had no bacon and no fixings. I told the waiter and he said he would handled it. He never did as he started doing other orders. My burger had no flavor and it looked like the person that made it didn't care , which goes along with the restaurant cleanness. One thing that really turned us off was the was other guest were treated by staff. The "cook" was completely pissed off and had a horrible attitude. A group came in looking for a table and there wasn't room. He yelled at them that there wasn't room. They stood in the entrance area for a few moments and then he yelled at them that they needed to get out of the restaurant and wait outside. He told them this isn't a restroom so don't wait in line. The attitude and distain in his voice was overwhelming. A few minutes later a couple came in and found 2 seats at the bar. They decided to order food to go and was talking to the waiter. One of the 2 people ordering was standing behind the empty bar seat while they ordered. The cook yelled at this person that they needed to sit down. Both customers were stunned. The waiter told the cook they were making an order to go and the cook could be heard muttering under his breath. This little guy was nothing but attitude and seemed extremely pissed off the there. Maybe instead of being the restaurant traffic cop and total smart ass he should concentrate on getting orders straight since ours was screwed up and never fixed. Whatever charm this place had is gone along with the any effort to keep it up to clean standards.

Unfortunately, the customer service was a completely different experience. When I walked in and said I was there to pick up an order, the man and woman behind the bar looked at me strangely, whispered to each other, and then asked for my name. After confirming it, the gentleman only told me the total. No greeting, no smile, and I wasn't asked if I wanted to order a drink or anything else. When the woman handed me my food, I asked if I could have some ketchup. She responded with an attitude, saying, "There's some in the bag." I thanked her and left. When I got back to my work van, I opened the bag and found there was only one packet of ketchup. The food was excellent, but the service left me feeling very unwelcome. Based on how I was treated, I couldn't help but feel like I was being judged differently because of my ethnicity. I can't say for certain that was the reason, but that's honestly how the interaction made me feel. I hope management takes customer service seriously because everyone deserves to feel welcomed and treated with respect.

The 8oz filet mignon steak special is, dollar for dollar, the best steak I have ever had in a restaurant.

    Turtle Bay -- 4…read more Listen... this is MY spot. One of my favorite places and honestly one of the only places I'll sit down and eat in the French Quarter. I've been coming here for about 6 or 7 years now, and they are easily in my top three. The vibe? Dive bar, laid back, no fuss... but the FOOD? Don't sleep on it. Their menu is solid and I still haven't made it through everything yet. I've had the wings, which we actually got this visit but ate them so fast we didn't even get a picture. That should tell you enough right there. I've had the pizza, and my husband usually goes for a burger. Never any complaints. They've got plenty on tap and the drinks hit too. I love a good Electric Lemonade, but this time I kept it simple with an Angry Orchard. Now let's talk about what keeps me coming back... The steak. We got our old faithful, one of their signature steaks, the 10oz petite ribeye. This is exactly what made me fall in love with Turtle Bay in the first place. Normally it's around $13.95, comes with a twice stuffed potato and a slice of garlic bread. A DEAL. This time it was a little higher, but still under $15, which honestly is still more than fair with how prices are these days. And when I say it be hitting... it be hitting. Only reason this visit didn't get a full 5 stars? My steak was cooked a little over my liking. I usually go for medium, and this one leaned more done than I prefer. Not horrible, just not my usual perfection. But everything else? Still solid. The staff is always nice, always welcoming. I've never had a bad experience with them, and that matters. And I already know I'm coming back because I keep hearing the crawfish is FIRE. Yeah... I need to see that for myself. This is my happy place. Open 24/7, consistent, affordable, and just a real gem in the French Quarter. The Bay is Babe. Period.

I cook a lot of both at home--I'm someone who is dedicated enough to my Louisiana cooking to order Steen's syrup from Louisiana to my Florida doorstep even though Florida makes perfectly good cane syrup in its own right. (Side note: any New Orleans restaurant you venture to serving pain perdu with maple syrup and not Steen's--ask what the hell they're even doing.) Like most worthwhile restaurants, the menu here changes up. The specials as well as their famous sandwiches seem the way to go and I got the fried shrimp with bread and butter pickles. Exceptional--a small amount, it may have even been a starter but regardless was perfect for me. The sandwiches other diners had on their plates were large and looked delicious just glancing around at other tables. Everything comes up fast and the atmosphere is . . . just ideally New Orleans. It feels all the way "working CBD lunch" yet unhurried, a reflection of Cochon's greatness but scaled down and with utterly no pretense. There's simply a real sense of both care and expertise in everything done here no matter how simple or complex. Beyond all else, they're doing what they love here with no scaling back or dressing up to make it anything else. A winner through and through.
