The got the fish special; it sounded amazing. Um no, it was underseasoned. For a place that is supposedly a New Orleans classic, I think they were trying to stay relevant. Sorry, but if you reading this, go elsewhere. I won't get that night back or the money. It was way overpriced too. I truly dislike writing poor reviews, but this just isn't worth your time. I ate there so you don't have too. So what can they improve? Everything. Well the staff was nice and attentive, so there is that.

The more I had the sauce, the more I liked it. If you get that, you have to get some bread along with it because then you can soak up all the sauce and leave no drop behind. My favorite dish was the pan-fried red fish. It blew my mind. The fish was perfectly tender and the sauce was so good. The vegetables paired very well with the sauce too. It felt flavorful without feeling heavy. If I can take one dish home with me and have it over and over again, this one would be it. We also got the blackened tuna and pecan pie. I liked the blackened tuna a lot. It was thick and juicy and tender at the same time, and the flavors burst in my mouth. The pecan pie was very good too! I was very very satisfied with this meal. Great experience.

Our server was attentive and kind. We did not have the chance to respond to the birthday question she gave us, so if you're reading this, my partner's response is "The best thing I've discovered this year is revisiting my old childhood hobbies/interests!" We shared five items in total, which was enough to fill us both. Overall, Acamaya's food was fairly tasty, but I think some flavors were a little too much. Crab Sope: 10/10. Crab was abundant and fresh. Shrimp Costra: 10/10. I wasn't sure how the cheese would pair well with the shrimp, but it was one of our favorites of the night! Perfect flavor and loved the green sauce on top; it was a great spice! Arroz Negro: 9/10 My personal favorite simply for the seafood. I've never had mussels so soft yet not overcooked/gummy. Even eaten alone there was such a nice flavor to them! It was a little bit too sour but I would order again. Sweet Potato: 3/10 This was the only dish we both did not like. Having made and eaten mole several times in the past, we were taken aback by how inaccurate the flavor was. It was very sour, and after removing the seeds on top that held the heavy lime flavor, there was really no distinguishing difference between the potato and the sauce. It smelled authentic, but the flavor did not carry over much at all. Flan: 100/10. Y'all. This dessert erased my disappointment in the potato afterwards. It is perfect. I don't particularly go for flan much, but this is the best I've ever had. Pair it with a Carajillo!!!!!! Drinks: They were all great (and strong). If you like dirty martini's get the Coctel de Tomate! Acamaya overall was a great experience and we plan to return again. They are heavy on the lime in some dishes, but I am definitely planning to try more of their menu options in the future!

Life changing meal. Also the most beautiful interior I've ever seen in a restaurant possibly…read more Ordered the Senor Chilton cocktail and I can't lie it was underwhelming. Super cute presentation, though. $17 (sheesh) Was with friends so we ordered the Crab Sope, Shrimp Costra, Chochoyotes, sweet potato side, and the blackened drum. You can tell this place is intentional with what they're creating and uses the highest quality ingredients. Crab sope was so unique and good. Really large chunks of crab on a sweet tasting tostado. Could be wrong that's what it tasted like. $18 The shrimp costra was the belle of the ball. The star of the show. Light of my life. If you order one thing at Acamaya, let it be this. Fancy version of when you melt cheese on a plate in the microwave with shrimp tied in. Would order again and again and again. $16 Sweet potato side. So delicious. Peanut mole, turmeric and lime. Such an amazing pairing. I am a huge fan of mole so glad I ordered this. $8 Blackened drum "Veracruz style" was probably my least favorite. The cook on the fish was flawless. Sat in a blend of stewed tomatoes which was the only lackluster item I had here. $30 The Chochoyotes were the unexpected standout of the meal. Like chicken and dumpling but so much more creative. Great blend of flavors. Order this for sure. $32 Our server Caelan was exception and only added to a great experience.

So many people who are responsible for the lives of myself and other Black folks (a lot of what they risked their lives for extends to POC who don't even like us but that's a whole 'nutha story) being easier than those who came before us. Thank you, Dooky Chase for your role in the Civil Rights movement! My daughter and I had a 2pm reservation on a gorgeous, sunny (and hot) Friday afternoon. We arrived a few minutes early along with a couple of other parties who also had 2pm reservations. We were invited to wait at the bar. Well, the bar area is also a museum! With dranks. As we spoke to the kind, beautiful, wonderful and informative lady at the bar (a family member of Mrs. Leah Chase), she'd mentioned that Mr. James Baldwin used to sit in a corner of that very bar and write. I'm like, "that corner...right over there?" Yes, that corner. I had to go sit in Mr. Baldwin's corner. Wooosh! There is something about N'awlins. You can just feel the energy! Anywho, not long after, we were called and escorted to our table. The restaurant is so elegantly decorated. There's artwork all around. It's an experience and a half. Our waitress was great. Informative! She asked if we had any allergies and was very knowledgeable about every thing on the menu. My daughter had the fried chicken and I, the stuffed shrimp. The stuffed shrimp comes with perfectly seasoned potatoes. It was delicious and plentiful. Tasted even better the next day when I heated up the leftovers. I'd also had the yams (exceptional), mac n' cheese (a little too salty but still good), and potato salad (perfect)! I didn't have a drink because I'd just finished a frozen Irish coffee with a shot of butterscotch whisky from Molly's at the Market (yum). My daughter and I had gotten into a deep conversation about politricks. At some point, I'd noticed that the restaurant had gone very quiet. It had gone from a full dining room to just us and another table of diners. I see now that the restaurants closes at 3pm on Friday and re-opens at 5:30 for dinner. No one rushed us or told us we'd have to leave. If we didn't get up on our own, they might've let us sit there. I mean, had they told us they had an afternoon, temporary closing, we would've been cool with it. But, nope. They let us enjoy our meals and time in their wonderful, historical establishment. Before our visit, I was wondering if Dooky Chase would be the kind of place where all the hype is in the history and the food would suffer. Nope, in my humble opinion, the history is great and so was the food and the service. No lacking anywhere. Dear everybody at Dooky Chase, thank you! Looking forward to our next visit to NoLa and to Dooky Chase!

The complimentary bread was forgettable, the etouffee was good but not necessarily memorable either. The peach cobbler was the most memorable, very yummy!

They make sure they play every table at least one tune; they were playing all kinds of Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and similar jazz pop music...until they made it to our table and I requested Lee Morgan's beautiful Ceora.

Food and service was top notch, and the characteristic old tile floor brings you back to classic French Quarter vibe before it got really crazy. An elegant room in an elegant venue, perfect New Orleans cuisine selection, excellently presented. Another go-to!

TLDR: Vibe was weird and racist, food was subpar, expect to wait an hour for food…read more This restaurant was so weird. It felt like a time travel into the past where only people of color served wealthy whites. Every server but one was a person of color and every person dining was white. As soon as my group walked in we noticed the outdated feel of the atmosphere. White elites portraits on the walls. Black servers, probably ordered, to pour our water for us after every time we took a sip. It was like they were only there to service us and if you wanted it anyway but how they were told they were uncomfortable. I really hope they are paid a significant wage. One of my party noticed that they were taking customers of color to rooms other than the one we were seated in (for context, our party is all white). Not to mention, the food. The brussel sprout and diced potato appetizers were extremely flavorless, which I imagine the ancient, wealthy, white people enjoy very much. But being in New Orleans I expect a lot more flavor and spice. The gumbo was quite tasty but the portion was the size of an appetizer. It was a very uncomfortable vibe and atmosphere and I would like to never be there again. The food also took ages to come out and we were wary to order any more food even though we were left quite hungry after our small portion sizes. I'm sure the elites love this restaurant, but as a white person, I was extremely uncomfortable by their weird traditions.

The catfish was crispy and well seasoned, sitting on top of this rich, creamy crawfish pasta that was already good enough on its own. Together? Yeah, they did that. But those crab claws?! To. Die. For. Buttery, flavorful, messy in all the right ways, and easily one of those appetizers where you're going back into that sauce until there's nothing left. New Orleans really does not play about food. Morrow's was 5 stars for me, and those crab claws alone would get me back through the door. Oh and the vibes were vibing and the service was very good. Palate don't lie. ‍
