    Made it to Bon Ton Prime Rib in New Orleans, and it was a memorable dining experience.I tried the Creole crab cakes, and they were a great introduction to New Orleans flavors. The staff were welcoming, and the historic atmosphere was a nice touch.

    Went here for our anniversary and it didn't disappoint, even though it started out poorly. Had a 8:45 reservation but had to wait for a half an hour before being seated. Once seated, it became apparent why this place is so packed. Firstly, our server Savannah set a standard that all servers from now will be compared to. Her friendliness and professionalism should be recognized. Miami, please take notice! As for the food, crabmeat cocktail and wedge salad were fresh and very tasty. But you come here for the prime rib and as an expert on the subject, this may rank right up there with Keens and 4 Charles for the best in the country. Savannah even surprised us with a complimentary piece of King Cake that was all fudge. Amazing. We will definitely return!

    Visited on Father's Day Sunday and enjoyed the experience. Located in the Central Business District, so street parking is challenging. We opted to park in the lot next door. The restaurant is really small and tight. Those waiting had to stand in the doorway. Hostess station is really small. We made reservations, which I highly recommend on any day. However, they do take walk-ins. We started at the bar until our table was ready. Great bar service in spite of the crowd. Our server greeted us at the table and was well versed on the menu and made the best recommendations. Everything came out fresh and hot!! We started with the Bon Ton Oysters and BBQ shrimp. The oysters were large, covered in crabmeat. So delicious. The shrimp were a nice size and the sauce was perfect, savory & buttery!!! Best I've had in a long time as a native to the area. We tried the Shellfish Bisque, plated at the table. It was creamy, not too rich, and full of seafood. We then decided on the King Cut Prime Rib and the Bon Ton Cajun Steak with Onion Rings, Charred Brussels Sprouts and Crawfish Mac n Cheese. In preparation for The King Cut Prime, little iron ramikens filled with Au Jus were individually set to warm up for the prime rib. Great table presentation!! The Cajun Steak was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The onion rings were large, cooked golden and crispy. The Brussels sprouts had a nice flavor, but only if you like Charred. It wasn't overbearing though. That Crawfish Mac and cheese was hot, creamy and full of crawfish. All were more than enough for the table to share. Paired with our delicious cocktails and mocktails, this was definitely a treat to the palate. Everyone raved about it. Definitely recommend you give it a try!!

    Celebrated a work milestone with our clients and the team and we sure did pick the right restaurant for a feast!. I've been traveling to Nola for over 5 years and there are so many good spots, it's rare to find a new place to add to the Top 5 list. Reopening of Bon Ton - PHENOMENAL. We had a reservation for 7 at 7 [and even though we didn't get seated until half 7 - this doesn't take away from the overall experience - sometimes the table before you just runs long]. We grabbed a drink at the bar while waiting. Ordered a glass of champagne - but the only bubbly by the glass they offered was non-alcoholic [which I thought was a bit strange]. Martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives - YUM. seems like they stuff their own olives. Seated in a cozy booth for 7 and there was a welcome card for my client since we were celebrating his bday too. Tiffany was our server and she was hospitable, offered great recommendations and was a good sport all night - super funny and really took care of us. I cannot say enough that EVERYTHING on the menu was sublime. - Seafood tower - MUST order - comes up with baked oysters [and normally I like them fresh, but the crust on top was sooo good. Very rich with all the butter, but memorable], - this mini cup of seafood bisque - DELISH with a 'lil surprise at the bottom, - Crab - big chunks of fresh crab meat - Giant shrimp - Crab cakes - giant chunks of crab meat - Cajun bacon - nice meaty bacon - Wedge salad - dressing was not as heavy as a typical wedge which was tasty - King Cut - we ordered 2 for the table and was perfect - Corn casserole - sweet crusty top - Brussel sprouts - Crawfish Mac and cheese Finished with the lemon meringue pie (SOOOOO good) and the very rich and buttery butter cake.. It's the next day, I'm back in La La Land and still dreaming of this dinner. I will be back. Phenomenal dinner - one for the memory books. -

    Everything was cooked perfectly! My favorites were the puffed corn casserole and my new York strip! Service was fast and professional! Love how attentive and knowledgeable of the menu to give me recommendations! The sexy interior and low lighting was perfect for a date night!

    I made a reservation on Christmas Eve for my husbands birthday here. I received several phone calls to confirm and also several texts to confirm. But of course when we arrived we had to stand outside 40 minutes past our reservation time waiting to be seated. They must have overbooked because they had at least 5-6 parties waiting who had reservations which is ridiculous. I also included in my reservation that I was celebrating a birthday but when I ordered dessert they brought no candle and then asked after they cut it if we were celebrating something. Nothing was complimentary which I don't necessarily expect but I feel like they probably do offer something but we just were not. The food was good but the service was hectic and our server wasn't the friendliest. I did throughly enjoy the Cajun steak and the Mac and cheese but I don't think I'd rush back after the waiting so long to be seated and the service being underwhelming

    Oh my! My family and I just ate here tonight and the food was so incredible! We got the french fries, the onion rings, the oysters, barbecue, shrimp, the fillet, ribeye, lemon, meringue, pie, and the broccoli and brussels sprouts. Everything was so heavenly. Service was top-tier! Can't wait to come back!

    Went to Bon Ton for a birthday dinner and Daniel made sure to make the birthday girl feel special, as he was funny, attentive, and informative. The ambiance is high-end and great for special occasions. Our only complaint was the mashed potatoes literally tasted like they came out of a box.

    Bon Ton Prime Rib is a great addition to the New Orleans dining scene. I have fond memories of the original Bon Ton Cafe. I had meal there when my brother got married and my dad was with us. It's one of those experiences you don't forget. I was sad when it closed but excited when I heard about this new concept. It's been open a little while now and I had heard great things. For my last birthday, I finally made the trip. Hell yes is all I can say. It was amazing. The ambiance is modern and fancy. Lots of people watching opportunities including the locally and nationally famous. You'll see everyone from politicians to randos who grew up in Algiers. Ambiance is great but doesn't overcome poor food. Luckily, the food here is even better than the ambiance. It's high end, expensive, and a wonderful experience. The prime rib is excellent as are all of the family style sides. For dessert we had some table side sundae that was decedent and a performance that everyone around watched. I probably wouldn't do it again but when it's your birthday you like to celebrate. Come to Bon Ton Prime Rib. Get some meat. Plan to spend a lot of time and money. It's worth it.

    Went to the Chophouse with some friends and waited FOREVER for our food. I decided to leave and walked across the street to Bon Ton Prime Rib. BEST DECISION EVER!!! I came in and sat at the bar and was immediately greeted by Adam and Amber and given a menu. In 2 minutes I knew what I wanted and ordered the steak (à la cart). Adam recommended the crawfish man-n-cheese (enough for 2), so I tried it. Order placed. No lie, in 30 seconds I had my beer . In 10 minutes I had my food delivered smelling like something outta heaven. I smashed this food it was sooooo good. Hell yeah I'm going back!!!

    Au jus cups for prime rib!

    The phrase "you get what you pay for" really applies to Bob Ton. Went with a group of 8 and knew what to expect before making reservation. Menu on smaller side but literally every single item was incredible. This is the kind of place that checks glasses for water spots. Huge tip - side dishes are huge and feed multiple people. Another tip - ask for the cajun steak sauce (it is soooooo good). Service was exceptional as expected for a high end steak house. One of the best meals in my life hands down.

The highlight of the meal was easily the CALAS appetizer. The snapper pastrami brought a wonderful smoky depth that paired beautifully with the horseradish cream, and it was one of the few dishes that felt balanced, intentional, and memorable. A genuinely excellent start. Things became more disappointing once the entrees and cocktails arrived. The Rohan duck breast itself was cooked very well -- tender, properly rendered, and clearly prepared with care -- but what was never communicated by the staff was just how sweet the overall composition of the dish would be. Pairing that with cocktails that also leaned heavily sweet made the entire meal feel one-note and overwhelming by the midpoint of dinner. The red beans and rice suffered from the same issue. Despite the spice topping, the dish skewed surprisingly sweet and didn't complement the duck at all. What frustrated me most was that this felt entirely avoidable. At a restaurant with a cocktail reputation this strong, I would expect the wait staff to guide guests toward drinks that balance the meal rather than amplify the sweetness already present in multiple courses. Instead, no recommendations or warnings were offered, and the meal suffered because of it. I was especially underwhelmed by the Harlequin cocktail, which seems to receive a massive amount of online hype. In practice, it simply didn't justify the reputation. It wasn't bad, but it lacked the complexity and "wow" factor you would expect from a signature drink that's so heavily talked about. Overall, there are flashes of excellence here, particularly in the appetizer course and technical preparation, but the lack of thoughtful service and pairing guidance made the experience feel far less polished than advertised.

Walking in at 1:30 on a beautifully sunny Wed, we fully expected a wait. Instead, our two empty seats beckoned to us like a pretty girl winking at us across a bar in college.

Very friendly and well aware each time we finished our drink and needed a reload. They're well-trained in the art of concocting the Sazerac we love. Sitting for 2 hours watching the regular turnover of the precious seats at the Carousel is still big fun. And having a friendly chat with the constant turnover of strangers sitting next to us is part of the unique charm of the Carousel Bar.

Our bartender W took a while to come get our drink order and took longer to get, one of us never even got our beer. I pointed at someone's drink and told W I wanted that, the martini special. How is he gonna make me the drink minus the Baileys?!? I pointed to the drink I wanted, simple. My bf ordered a Abita, guess what 45 mins passed and he NEVER got his beer. We asked for the check and W said "oh your beer". Bro just give us the check and take off the beer. Worst service I've ever experienced. How you going to forget about someone's drink who's sitting right in front of you drink-less plus make a drink wrong. The carousel sits about 25 people and there's 2 bartenders?!? This isn't a club where drinks are getting shouted out. The only thing they have going for them is the rotating carousel bar if the SD one didn't close, I'd say pass and go to that one instead. One and done for me. Good luck if you get W as your bartender! And sir, no I'm not coming back after the game for you to make it right, make it right the first time!
