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.

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.

My wife and I were headed toward the waterfront, downtown New Orleans, when we happened upon a lady going in the same direction. When we asked about restaurants in the immediate area, she mentioned Delacroix, and that she was headed that way. We followed and ended up in a very upbeat, nicely decorated place with tables inside and out; lots of space to stretch and some outstanding views of the river. Kim is not a big eater, so she ordered an order of boiled shrimp with accompanying cocktail sauce. She ate all but one ( a surprise in itself) which she offered to me. It was large, succulent, and very tasty.

Me, I went for total cajun emersion beginning with a cup of the duck gumbo, followed by an order of boudin. With just a touch of tabasco, the gumbo was supreme. The boudin came as four rounded balls sized between that of a golf ball...

ball and a tennis ball. With the house remoulade sauce as an accompaniment, the boudin was very good. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to experience the taste of New Orleans in a more casual, very upbeat setting. And oh, the lady who we followed into the restaurant stopped by to ask how we liked our meal about halfway through. Turns out, she is the wife of Chef John Besh, one of the owners of the restaurant.

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

Meghan R.

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.

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.

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.

Ellie M.

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.

Kyle C.

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.

Marsh Fire- hibiscus bourbon, ginger, pineapple, oregeat, Polynesian Kiss bitters.

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.

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.

Crabby Rice and smoked Duck Gumbo. Skinn5 margarita and beer

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!

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!

My first time to NOLA!! Food: the grilled redfish comes with creamed corn and spicy crab butter. I wanted to lick my plate!!! Do yourself a favor and make sure you save some bread to wipe your plate clean!! My husband got the Louisiana seafood with a combo of the shrimp and the oysters. He said it was perfect! Service: from the host, to the server (Lawrell) they were so nice. She made some great recommendations! Since we sat close to the kitchen, you could tell all the employees worked as a team! Ambiance: we had a beautiful water view! Again, perfect! read more

We expected a four star experience for the price however drinks did not arrive for at least 15 minutes and our food arrived no less than an HOUR later. The gumbo was good but not exactly gumbo and instead of a deviled egg, as in the description, it came with half a hard boiled egg. The fish collars were great. Sadly the raw oysters arrived After we had eaten (?) which is not when a person wants them, we had wanted to start with oysters and drinks. They offer a selection of oysters and we got the ones from Grand Isle. They were the tiniest oysters we have ever seen, although quite tasty. The service was friendly but to not check on us for an hour while we waited with nothing on the table, just isn't done in a high end restaurant. Not worth it for the price. read more

The best thing about this restaurant is the amazing river views with the Mississippi Bridge as a backdrop. The food is edible but in Nola the food should be incredible. You are definitely buying atmosphere and location. I expected so much more and the service is average. If you are looking for great food skip Delacroix and just have drinks and an appetizer there to enjoy the ambiance. read more

I went maybe the week after they opened and my first thought was how smoothly it was running already. Quickly seated and quick, friendly service. The server had great suggestions, which I love. It is a beautiful space. It had a good amount of people but wasn't super loud. My food was great. Started with the crispy snapper collars. They did not lie about the crispy part! They were fried well and seasoned well but it wasn't my favorite just for personal preference, not because anything was wrong with it (I'm just weird about textures). For my entree, I had the grilled redfish w/ creamed corn & spicy crab butter. It was superb. Fish was seasoned to perfection and still moist. The corn was so flavorful. The crab butter set it all off. I would definitely order this again. My drink, Tangled Up in Blue, was quite tasty. It has gin, violet, elderflower, cava, and bitters. It was well balanced and pretty to boot. I would love to come back and explore more of the menu. read more

First time eating at Delacroix and it was a great experience. The restaurant sits on the Mississippi River with great views up and down the river. The food was excellent. We had the stone crab claws, grilled snapper and soft shell shrimp. All were delicious. The star of the evening was our waitress, Brianna! It's amazing how someone's smile and personality can elevate a dining experience. I would highly recommend Delacroix if you are headed to New Orleans. Ask for Brianna! read more

Finally made it to Delacroix after watching this spot come to life. Previously The Crazy Lobster, this newly opened restaurant and bar sits right on the Riverwalk, offering indoor and outdoor seating w| views of the Mississippi River that make you linger just a little longer. I popped in for drinks and small bites. The gumbo was decent, classic restaurant-style gumbo that you get when you're in New Orleans, a few dashes of hot sauce gave it the kick it needed. My cocktail? Gorgeous and delicious. They surprised me w| bread pudding for my birthday, and I was thrilled to find it raisin-free (a win in my book!!) I'm already planning my return to sit down properly and savor a full meal, the food looks + sounds good, I hope it actually is. I'll most certainly update my review. If you're in the area, I would recommend visiting! read more

We dined at Delacroix last night for a friend's birthday. It was a group of 6 of us, originally 5, but thankfully the restaurant was able to accommodate to our needs so we could all be in attendance. They were gracious when the majority of our party were accidentally dropped off at the wrong place. The hostesses and wait staff were so kind and attentive. They started us with complimentary champagne to toast our birthday girl. As a table, we shared the Caesar salad, crabby rice and boudin balls. Everything was delicious and fresh. Personally, I had the Drum Almondine. It was one of the best- if not the best- I've ever had. The almonds were deliciously toasted and the fish was light, fluffy and buttery. Our waitress answered all of our questions and even came back to further explain and answer some of our questions. One of the best parts of our night was when Chef Wiley came and spoke to our table personally. She explained her background, story and passion. She was attentive and thoughtful. I saw her make her rounds to other tables and bar throughout the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant. We cannot wait to return. Only 3 weeks or so into operation and they have it down so nicely. There's definitely things they are working on and improving, but the food is not one of them (as it's already perfect). The service was great and we truly appreciated everyone's hospitality. PS Dessert was fire! We had baked Bismarck and bread pudding!! read more

Yesterday, my wife and I went and dropped off my sister and her husband at the Port of New Orleans for a cruise. Afterwards we went to Morning Call to get beignets and Café LA. While sitting there, we decided to take the street car down to the foot of Canal Street and walk along the river, which we have not done in quite some time. We walked the whole riverfront when we got finished walking we decided to go eat lunch at Delacroix. We decided to get some Cajun Pistolette. They were OK at best because they were over cook. My wife decided to get a bowl of Louisiana Crawfish Bisque for a meal and I decided to get a cup of Louisiana Crawfish Bisque. The Louisiana Crawfish Bisque was not good at all. It was too watery it looked like someone just dump colored water in our bowl & cup. I also decided to get the Turtle Sauce Piquante & Morgan City Wild Catfish that was delicious very much. I would recommend this item. Our waitress did a great job. The restaurant is full of memorabilia of Louisiana past, and some old cookbooks of people I knew also. To charge an 3% administration fee in a restaurant is absurd. Plus, it's not even for the credit card charges because if I wanted to pay cash, it's still you would have administration fee of 3%. Administration fee should be in the cost of goods meaning the prices of the food not raising up more fees. I expect better quality of food from a John Besh restaurant !!! read more

Very cool restaurant and great ambiance, love being on the river. Fun concept. Was really hoping to love it. But food was underwhelming. Fish was overcooked, under-sauced. Pistolettes overcooked and lacked shrimp & crabmeat. Nothing served that I'd want to order again. Service very friendly but slow, not very present, didn't clear dirty dishes from apps or refill water or drinks, didn't check on us after we received entrees. This was a weeknight, busy but not crowded. Chef went around to other tables around us, but didn't stop at our table. We're locals and expect more, especially when the restaurant is so pricey. read more

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.

The beignets are piled in sugar, they are warm, crunchy and crisp on the outside and soft, warm and delicate inside. I gotta tell you, the texture is just a little different than Cafe Beignet, the Four Seasons, and even the other CDM in the park we tried a few days later. To me, this is the best one. Now, as a coffee person, their black coffee is strong, rich, and a good compliment to the real show - the beignets. But I did not pick up on nearly as much chicory in their chicory coffee as, say, Cafe Beignet's version. Also, I have to let you know the other location in the big park serves a non-chicory version (in addition to NOLA chicory) that is head and shoulders the best coffee we had in New Orleans. But this is the joint. As a bonus, it's colorful, has consistently great street musicians, and has lots of walkable sites as you struggle to waddle around after too many beignets. Gotta go!

Heck, the guy never said a word when he handed him the biscuit. The bartender must have told the young man something and next thing you know, the biscuit guy comes over and sincerely apologizes. The customer felt horrible and you can tell that it never did bother him. This is the kind of people that make a restaurant have the heart and soul that you feel when you enter this place. Back to the food. I started with the lobster bisque which I have ordered plenty times before. Very creamy and loaded with flavor. Next was the fried oysters which was my least favorite, but would probably be the best dish in many restaurants. For my entree, I ordered the red grouper and had crabmeat added to it. Man oh man.... The wood flavor really adds to this dish. Probably an easy top five fish dish for me and I grew up in New Orleans. For dessert, the only thing you should consider here is the salty malty, not that the others are bad because they are not...it's just that the salty malty is in a different league. Top 10 all time dessert dish for me...easily. Old fashioned was your typical well made variety. As always, I left wondering why it had been so long.

If you're only ordering one oyster dish here, this would be my recommendation. Next came the oyster sampler, which unfortunately didn't live up to the ceviche. We were excited to try all the different preparations, but most of them just missed the mark for us. The jerk oysters were our favorite, earning about a 5/10, while the rest fell somewhere below that. The toppings and sauces often overpowered the oysters instead of complementing them, and none of the combinations really made us want to order them again. Service was another downside. It was slower than expected, especially considering there weren't many customers during our visit. We weren't in a rush, but there were several moments where we found ourselves waiting longer than we should have. Overall, SeaWitch has a cool concept and the oyster ceviche was genuinely delicious, but the sampler and the slow service kept this from being a better experience. We'd come back for the ceviche, but we'd definitely pass on the sampler.

The Boudin Balls were cooked perfectly--light and crispy on the outside with a warm, soft, flavorful center. The remoulade paired wonderfully with them. The Crab Au Gratin was absolutely delicious and came in a surprisingly large portion. Packed with crab meat, melted cheese, and served with garlic toast, it could easily be a meal all on its own. One thing that really stood out was that Coterie happily split a po'boy for my wife and me. Many places insist on one sandwich per person, so this level of hospitality was greatly appreciated. For our main course, we ordered the Extra Napkins Po'Boy with a little beef gravy. Why? Well... beef gravy! We had to try it, and we're glad we did. It was incredibly tasty, well-prepared, and once again, the portion size was very generous. A special shoutout goes to Jena, our server. It was incredibly hot outside, and she was fantastic at recommending food and drink pairings to match the weather. My wife and I lingered over our appetizers, and when the rain rolled in, Jena returned with an entirely new set of recommendations to fit the rainy atmosphere. She was kind, attentive, quick, and provided truly predictive service--always seeming to know what we needed before we asked. And as a final touch, the handcrafted cocktails were the cherry on top of an already amazing dining experience. Highly recommend Coterie Restaurant & Oyster Bar, and if you have the chance, ask for Jena!

We were greeted immediately, seated right away, and our server, Katie, introduced herself shortly after. She was friendly, attentive, and provided great service throughout our meal. We started with the 2+2+2 oyster sampler for $24. It was a little pricey for just six oysters, but it was a nice way to sample the different styles. My favorite was definitely the chargrilled oysters. I noticed a dozen chargrilled oysters were around $28, which was actually less expensive than a dozen Bienville oysters or some of the other specialty options on the menu, making them a great value. For our entrées, we ordered the seafood platter and the redfish. The presentation was nice, and overall the food was very good. The only disappointment was the redfish itself--it had a strange chemical-like taste that just didn't seem right. I mentioned it to Katie, and she immediately addressed the issue without hesitation. I really appreciated how quickly and professionally she handled it. They also offer a 25% military discount, which was a nice surprise and definitely a plus. I personally ordered two entrées and finished with the bread pudding for dessert, so I'm not sure if the discount applies only to the military member's meal or to the entire table. Overall, the excellent service, good food, and military discount made this a positive experience. I'd definitely come back, especially for the chargrilled oysters.

As usual, the moment I landed in New Orleans, my stomach apparently took over the itinerary and…read moremarched me straight to Red Fish Grill. At this point, it's less of a dinner choice and more of a legally binding tradition. I love this place because it's laid-back, consistently great, and somehow always knows exactly what my post-flight soul needs: gumbo and an old-fashioned. Unfortunately, after years of coming here, I've realized I may have been so focused on eating that I've never actually remembered to take a picture before attacking the food. A true professional mistake. Started off with the gumbo, obviously, along with some Brussels sprouts that were crispy enough to make me briefly consider becoming a vegetable person. Absolutely delicious. Dangerous, honestly. For the entrée, I went with the red fish -- because when something works, why introduce chaos into your life? Zero disappointment. The food here is consistently excellent, the service is impeccable, and the old-fashioned did exactly what an old-fashioned is supposed to do after a long flight: convince me I suddenly have no responsibilities. If you're traveling for work, exhausted from airports, delayed boarding, and pretending your carry-on fits in the overhead bin, this is the kind of spot that resets your mood immediately. Great food, friendly people, and the kind of meal that makes you forget you answered emails from Gate C17 an hour earlier.

It's a hole in the wall that is definitely popular with locals, and fills up quickly, which is what I wanted. The food is top-notch, and the vibe is casual, with a mix of classic, but casual dining. One recommendation: go hungry. The food is rich, and the servings are generous.

The main dining room is inviting and stylish in an understated way. Our server was super friendly and the food was excellent. We had an appetizer sampler to start - hubs wasn't fond of the thick batter on the calamari but also noted it was tender and tasty. My family is Italian and had Italian friends who owned a shop and made their own homemade Italian sausage... I'm not saying Mandina's makes their own but one bite took me back. I think the texture would have been better served in grilled chunks rather than the slices that tasted fried; the crispy surface area of the cut exposed interior wasn't bad but not my preference. Also included was fried stick of eggplant which was some of the best I've had. I ordered the veal parm for my entrée that was cooked perfectly, the marinara was exquisite and the perfect ratio to the veal and the pasta. Another entrée ordered was the shrimp bordelaise but switch the shrimp out for a veal cutlet which they were happy to do as my daughter doesn't eat tomato sauce but was eager to try the veal. The down side was that their bordelaise wasn't traditional bordelaise of the red wine sauce variety; the dish turned out to be like pasta tossed with garlic and butter and we wish we had known. When I asked the waitress if it would be traditional bordelaise she confirmed that it was, which was why we ordered it. That it turned out not to be was a let down. But all-in-all this was a great dining experience for all the right reasons. If you're like me and hate being stuck in touristy eateries, hop the street car down Canal and tell the conductor to let you off at Mandina's and thank me later.

The place was clean and inviting however very cold. We ordered the crab cakes as a starter which were good and full of flavor served on a bed of greens with a delightfully spiced aioli. Maybe a little too much breading for me but I would go for these again. We ordered the stuffed red fish and a creole platter with shrimp creole, Cajun jambalaya and crawfish etoufee. All tasty but the shrimp creole was VERY salty that I only fished out the shrimp. The red fish plate came with Cajun jambalaya and a side of vegetables. All tasty but again the fish was somewhat salty. The place was recommended to us and we saw a lot of folks coming in right after us. I would come again but opt for some other dishes.

I just wanted my last round of oysters before I left. I liked the charbroiled I decided on 1/2 dozen charbroiled and 1/2 dozen of the rockerfeller oysters. I preferred the charbroiled. Service was pretty quick. It was very quiet and there is a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. There was some music playing in the background.

A Must-Visit Restaurant in New Orleans - Thank You, Damon Sam!…read moreMy husband and I took our very first trip to New Orleans over the July 3rd weekend, and despite a very rough start with our travels, this restaurant completely turned our evening around. Our original JetBlue flight was scheduled to arrive at 3:00 PM, but after multiple delays, a last-minute cancellation, and being rebooked, we didn't arrive until 10:00 PM. We checked into the DoubleTree Hotel exhausted and starving. The hotel concierge recommended Blue Bayou Restaurant, just a short walk away, and we're so glad they did! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was incredible. A talented young gentleman was performing live throughout the restaurant, singing classic hits from the 1990s. He had guests dancing, singing along, and even serenading some of the ladies. It was such fun, welcoming vibe and exactly what we needed after spending nearly an entire day at the airport. The wait was only about 15 minutes for our party of two, and then we had the pleasure of being served by Mr. Damon Sam. Damon greeted us with a warm smile, introduced himself, asked where we were visiting from, and genuinely took the time to get to know us. His hospitality made us feel like valued guests instead of just another table. He recommended an Abita Amber Draft, which was perfect after our long day. Since it was already close to 11:00 PM, we wanted something flavorful but not too heavy. Damon recommended Creole Jambalaya Rice and the Louisiana Crab Cakes. Every bite was absolutely delicious! The flavors were authentic, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Just when we thought the meal couldn't get any better, Damon encouraged us to try the famous New Orleans Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce. Oh...my...goodness! Without a doubt, this was the best bread pudding I have ever tasted. It was incredibly moist, rich, full of flavor, and literally melted in your mouth. It was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. I want to give a huge shout-out to Mr. Damon Sam. Your kindness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality made our first night in New Orleans unforgettable. After such an exhausting travel day, you made us feel welcomed, appreciated, and right at home. The food was outstanding, the service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was unforgettable. If you're visiting New Orleans, Blue Bayou Restaurant is an absolute must-try! Thank you again, Damon! You truly ROCK! Maria & Tony Fort Lauderdale, Florida
