Grilled Redfish, blackened - must order!
Anna C.

A local recommended Delacroix, and it's one of the best meals I've had. I loved it so much that I ate here three days out of my four-day trip. The grilled redfish is perfection. Freshly caught from a local fishing town of their namesake, perfectly cooked, and topped with a crawfish butter that is packed with the authentic local flavor. I ate it three days in a row. Service is charming southern hospitality. And I swear they operate under "Unreasonable Hospitality" principles (if you haven't read the book, highly recommend!). Location is perfectly situated at the end of Riverwalk Outlets, with a view of the Mississippi. Don't miss Delacroix if you're in NoLa!

On my first night in New Orleans, we decided to try De La Croix for dinner, and it was just alright. The server was great, and the space itself has a great ambiance. You can see the Mississippi River from the restaurant since it's right on the waterfront. I started with a Shirley Temple, which was good, and we got a loaf of bread that wasn't my favorite. It was very crumbly and basically fell apart when you touched it. My main complaint is that there aren't many options for vegetarians. I don't eat red meat or shellfish, which left me with only a Caesar salad and fries to choose from. The salad was peppery and flavorful, but I still left dinner pretty hungry. Overall, it's hard for me to fully judge the restaurant since I wasn't able to try one of their entrées, but if you're vegetarian, just be aware that your options are pretty limited.

Classic New Orleans Daube of Beef & Cavatelli - beef was very tender & flavorful

First time here & going to give it 5 stars out of the gate (which is rare for me). 1. Is the overall vibe inside. Tables were not cramped together and there was space to move about. Floor to ceiling windows also help even spots further from the water still have a bit of a view. 2. Cocktail options. Between the 2 of us we had 6 different ones (don't judge) and liked them all. Prices were reasonable for that part of town & the presentation was great. I think 3 had flowers in them. 3. Unique food options that were good. Started with crispy snapper collar. I didn't know what it was but the BF was excited for them. Great presentation and very good. Chef also came by to check on us (and other tables which I appreciated), we also got 1/2 dozen oysters which they let you mix and match with so you're not stuck with only 1 type. Drum Almandine crust and almond topping was amazing. I was also pleasantly surprised by the beef & cavatelli where I swear the pasta was in house made and fresh. 4. Great service. Our waiter was present when needed but not hovering. Super glad we branched out and tried something new even if it's in a bit more of a traditionally touristy area.

Beautiful spot near the river. Lovely interior and plenty of outside seating. Alicia was our server - very sweet. Chef Wiley was visiting every table which was such a nice surprise. She gave us her recommendations and told us a little bit about herself. We loved that. The redfish melted In your mouth. The drum fish was amazing . The shrimp creole was yummy as well. The crab legs were a tad on the sparse side in terms of crabmeat. The Bismarck dessert was very tasty- we all couldn't stop eating it . Probably some of the best food we have had all weekend so far. Trust me you won't be disappointed.

A group of 6 of us went last night. The service was good. The prices were through the roof. The food was just okay. We started with some specialty cocktails which were delicious. We ordered the crispy snapper collars. Be careful with this appetizer. It is full of bones. I was startled by that and did not eat another bite of that appetizer. We ordered boudin balls and chargrilled oysters. Both were delicious. For our entrees, my husband ordered the grilled redfish with creamed corn and spicy crawfish butter. It was very tasty. I wish I had ordered that. I ordered the Turtle Sauce Piquante and Morgan City wild catfish. The fish was freshly fried but the sauce was not hot at all. A friend ordered the seafood salad and she said it was just basic. We ordered 3 desserts to share around the table. Two of the three were really good. The Mississippi Mud Pie and the Pontchatoula Shortcrust were the stars of the evening. The Baked Bismarck was just okay and one note. For the prices they charge and the so so food, we will not be going back.

Oysters

The food, service, and location on the Water was amazing. We had oysters, the bread, the drum and all cooked and prepared perfect and the duck gumbo were amazing. The Almandine drum was fried and perfect breading. We then finished off with some bread pudding. The only thing missing was a cappuccino because they do not have a cappuccino machine or an espresso machine. All recommended for great food.

Great ambiance and wonderful food! The seafood was so fresh and I loved being able to see the water from our table on the patio.

Pontchatoula Shortcrust

Beautiful new restaurant, perfectly situated along the great Mississippi River. Great views. Great atmosphere. The food was delicious. We shared a variety of appetizers, I personally enjoyed the hot boudin balls. The crawfish ettouffee was perfectly seasoned and you could tell these were no frozen crawfish like at many local venues. To top it off, we had the best dessert I've ever had: strawberry shortcrust with fresh local Pontchatoula strawberries. The chef brought out multiple of our dishes herself. She was very kind, informative, and attentive. Will certainly return in the future.

Only came in for one drink but the atmospheres and river views were nice. Sat at the bar, there's TVs for sport's and ample seating. Gonna update this to a full review later after dining in.

Huge  patio.

We stumble up on Delacroix restaurant after a day of shopping, this is a pretty huge restaurant with large windows beautiful decor, and a nice size patio, and the location is just steps from the mighty Mississippi river, the view is just breathtaking. We were seated right away and waited about 20 mins. no one came to our table, I got up and started taking pictures of all of the empty tables, "Yelp about it" I would Imagine someone saw me taking photo's with then mins. a staff was at our table, I started expressing my disappointment to him, he was very nice and he apologize and offered us free drinks, and told us they were doing a photo shoot for their web page, they had only been open a few weeks, our food was very delicious. I will come back here when I get back here next year.

Sat at the bar for a quick bite and some drinks. Bartender was quick and efficient. He mad e a delicious skinny margarita. We ordered a bowl of the Crabby Rice and it was the best. The smoked Duck Gumbo was to die for as well.

I was eagerly following the opening of this spot and managed to snag a reservation during a work trip to NOLA which happened to be during the restaurant's first month of operation. Located at the base of the Four Seasons, Delacroix is part of the rejuvenated Spanish Square at the bottom of Canal Street adjacent to the Hilton and the big outlet mall. The renovation of the building is beautiful, especially as the structure sparkles in the evening light. Delacroix is reportedly the only waterfront dining in the city and the tasteful raised patio seating would offer a nice view (if you are heartier than I am and don't mind the NOLA weather.) The interior decor is gorgeous yet unfussy. A dining room Joanna Gaines might have designed if she was from NOLA. On Saturday night of the Halloween parade, the restaurant seemed only about 2/3 full. As they were turning away people without reservations, I'm wondering if there were a lot of no shows or folks who couldn't make it because of the parade traffic? It's a peaceful place as it is but it felt especially quiet inside. The menu is an interesting combination of comfort foods and fancy dishes. I saw many plates of sandwiches on buns with fries being delivered and a lot of others seemed to know that the same Seafood Salad that I ordered would actually be entree sized. It was a lot of food. I did think that there were too many red and fried onions in the salad, overpowering the delicate crab and shrimp and dressing, but that could just be me. Don't get me wrong, it was still very good. My date reported that the redfish with crab butter and corn was quite good as well but needed a starch so we ordered a $3 loaf of poboy bread (is there a name for this?) which was served piping hot right from the oven. The Seafood Pistolettes were the standout of our meal, ordered as an appetizer. Small bread bites are stuffed with seafood and get flash-fried until crisp, served piping hot with a spicy aioli. Delicious! Though a new spot, the staff did not seem new at all. They must have have hired folks with a lot of experience and then trained them well. There were no opening month jitters to be seen anywhere and they all seemed like pros. A nice, relaxing dinner and a pleasant experience. It was a total shock to step outside afterwards and be greeted by Halloween madness!

Seafood Salad
Megan M.

Two weeks into October, Delacroix hasn't been open for quite a month, but I found myself back for a second visit already. Chef Besh, Chef Wiley, and GM Roger Eyles have given New Orleans the most perfect, elevated, Cajun dining experience. So much about Delacroix feels "down home." And the food will make you wish you could move in. The location is unexpectedly amazing. Now that (hopefully not fake) fall has set in, I cannot wait to go back and dine outside, riverside. However, the wrap around windows allow for a great view from anywhere within. The decor is authentic not kitschy. The warmth of the wood balances the deep blues. It feels comfortable and welcoming, the way any Cajun would want you to feel in their kitchen or dining room. I feel like I've tried nearly everything on the menu now, but I know that isn't true. I'll just provide a list of my favorites: Seafood Plateau (best way to do the raw bar), Crispy Snapper Collars, Crabby Rice, Seafood Salad, Momma's Drum Almandine, and the Grilled Redfish. Honorable mention: Cajun Pistolettes and Shrimp Creole. Curious to try next time: Turtle Sauce Piquante. I haven't tried the buns yet, but I sat next to someone with the softshell crab, and it looked amazing. What about dessert, you say? Well, they're all so good that dessert needed its own paragraph. On our first visit we had the Baked Bismarck, Lemon Tart, and an ice cream sandwich that isn't on the menu now. All three were delicious, but the tart was my winner - and I don't eat lemon desserts. The wild berry compote balanced the tartness of the lemon perfectly. I really thought I would be getting it again, but there is now bread pudding as an option. Bread pudding is my favorite dessert. And my favorite bread pudding already belongs to Besh. So, I had to try this one. It is unlike any BP I've had before. Texturally it is perfection. But the addition of satsuma and butterscotch to the flavors is new and exciting. It doesn't beat my other Besh favorite (it's at Lüke btw), but it absolutely is one I will recommend. I'll probably alternate it with the tart on all future visits. As I try to wrap up what may be my longest review ever, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention their cocktails. The menu has lots of interesting flavors and combinations - my favorite is the Marsh Fire. It's the perfect pre-dinner cocktail. Refreshing, but spirited enough to lift the weight of the day from your shoulders. All of the above said, I think it's pretty clear that I think John Besh has absolutely knocked his return out of the park. There's nothing I don't love about this place... other than how close it is to work and how much I might spend there. I can't wait to go back. And I can't wait to see what Besh does next!

Y'all. Y'ALL…read more Are you in NoLa for some reason? Any reason at all? Are you hungry??? Do you like cocktails, and a well-curated wine list, and an INSANE bourbon list? Do you like a plate of food that speaks classy without punching you in the wallet, and servers who don't hover, but can answer even the most random questions you could have about the stuff on your plate? Look no further, friend. Right off the bat, after arriving on a Friday around 4:45 PM we were seated promptly, given water and the tastiest little sweet yeast rolls ever (the tops actually crackled when you squish them you guys), and made our bevvie choices. Tonic with lime for me (I'm behaving rn) and an Old Fashioned for wifey. Killer. We skipped the appetizer course and ended up ordering off the specials menu for both meals. She got braised brisket with deviled egg potato salad (fantastic!) and I got grilled Amberjack with roasted Brussels, topped with pickled peppers, onion, capers, and a drizzle of olive oil and Crema. Did I mention this place has a rustic atmosphere, and cozy feel, AND a Michelin recco without a dress code required?!? We had Lemon Buttermilk Icebox pie for dessert... MY GODS. This pile of words I just typed doesn't do this place justice. Chef Link has got something special going here, and his butcher shop next door is totally groovy too. I can't rave enough about this place, and I wish it wasn't so dang far from Texas, but hey, it's just another in a list of damn fine reasons to come visit the fine folks of NoLa again.

I tried the fried liver, rabbit dumplings, shishito peppers and fried oysters. I quite enjoyed my entire meal, as did my friend who had the red fish and Mac and cheese. (The Mac was just okay.) A majority of the dishes were perfectly prepared and full of flavor.

My favorite thing we got was definitely the veggie red beans and rice. It was very balanced and cooked well. I was very excited to try their shrimp and grits, but it wasn't that great. The grits were quite grainy and didn't taste cheesy as described. They weren't creamy at all and really tasted like plain barely salted grits that could have been cooked a bit longer. The shrimp was flavorful and the sear on the outside was nice, but they were quite overcooked and tough. There was a much higher ratio of grits to shrimp and gravy than you would want, especially given the grits were not that good. However, my husband absolutely loved the chicken pasta and said it was one of the best he has ever had. They definitely can make good food but I would skip the shrimp and grits. The lemonade I ordered was also incredibly watery. The service was efficient and good overall, but very impersonal and bare minimum. Definitely efficiency prioritized over true dinner service. Not bad but not what I expected.

After our food was dropped off, our waiter never checked back in. I had ordered fries separately once I realized they didn't come with the sandwich, but after waiting about 10 minutes with no update, I finally got up and walked to the bar to cancel them because I was almost done eating at that point. Maybe we came at an off time, but overall it just wasn't the experience we were hoping for and probably not somewhere we'd return.
