    $20 oyster platter?  Presentation? This is exactly how this plate was received.
    Kevin D.

    We are relatively new to the area but we have dined at this French Market West location on a number of occasions and have always enjoyed the food, service, and the vibe here. So normally. I would rate this restaurant 4 to 4.5. Tonight was not that night in the food category only. We ordered the catfish entree, and a fried oyster entree and fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. When we ordered the oysters, we asked how many typically come with the meal and we were told that it's served by weight and not by how many oysters. I believe it was right at $20 for the oyster platter which is pretty common but you look at the picture and see if the amount and presentation is what you would expect for this price and at this restaurant. I think not. We have ordered the fried catfish multiple times and for good reason. It is normally very delicious and moist and seasoned and fried to golden perfection. Tonight was not that night. Keep in mind the picture is after one of my guests had finished because it was just so tasteless and overcooked she could not consume more. These portions are generous just please correct the preparation and spices. Fried tomatoes were good as always but came without the sauce that usually accompanies this appetizer. This was corrected. Keep it coming French Market West but if a full restaurant (like tonight was) starts to impact your quality, please address it with training or more cooking talent.

    Although it was prom night and very busy my friends and I were able to snag a table outside. Service was great and food very tasty. I had the seafood pie it was spicy and popping hot yummy ! My friend had the stuffed trout she said it was delicious.. I think I'll try that next time because it looked so good.

    This is the favorite of mine the crazy crab roll. It is always made perfectly because they give special attention to all their sushi orders.

    The French market grill is a great place to eat alone or meet with friends or a loved one. The ambience is fantastic always friendly faces and great service the food they have great sushi that they make after 5 PM which is one of my favorites.

    My friend and I decided to come here and try the place because neither of us had been and it looked promising. That's about where it stops. I asked to be seated and the hostess was going to seat me directly between 2 tables full of people twice. No social distancing whatsoever. So I requested to sit outside. Fine. I ordered a glass of wine. Then I proceeded to get the andouille sausage appetizer. When I say disappointed that is an understatement. It had 5 small pieces of sausage and cheese triangles on a Plate... my friend said a 5 year old could do better. She was right. I ordered the honey pecan fried chicken. Presentation was boring. Rice was bland and had no flavor. The chicken was not spicy... oh and I got food poisoning. So nope not ever again.

    Pie that tastes like Reese's

    The service was amazing and worth the visit in itself our waiter (can't remember name) she was servicing us at 5:30pm the day of this review. And honestly a phenomenal job by her she went above and beyond expectations. The food was excellent and prepared exactly how we ordered. Sprite was low on carbonation but that didn't stop her from making it right asap by switching the drink out almost immediately. (Sprite is always hard to keep the right carbonation so not at all a problem with our experience.) We will be coming back!

    Doesn't look like much from the outside but nice ambience on the inside. Was a bit of a wait to get seated but the bartender was great! Had 2 drinks while we waited. You DEFINITELY want to get the gumbo to start! It was delicious and was happy it came without pork. The fresh bread is very good so hard to not put on the extra carbs! Crawfish étouffe honestly wasn't it! Never seen an étouffée look like it had gravy on it BUT when I told my waitress she was very nice about swapping me out for the seafood pasta which was AMAZING! Try the gumbo and seafood pasta and you will not be disappointed!

    This is the perfect place to bring out of town guests...most recent visit solidified that this is still a great way to go! The menu is varied, with there being no "bad" choices. I personally go for the seafood pasta dish, side salad with Pontchartrain dressing...and if your calorie daily count can stand it...I very highly recommend the peanut butter pie. You will find no better Anywhere!...Anywhere!

The ambience has changed, the food quality has changed and serving sizes have definitely decreased while prices have gone up. A favorite go to has been their Crab Chop. We ordered the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer, two orders of Crab Chops and steamed oysters. When the fried green tomatoes arrived they were not the quality we have received every time visit. The breading was a different flavor and texture, the tomatoes were not hot. They seemed to have been prepared earlier that day. The steamed oysters we ordered were delivered to the table raw. We sent them back and when they were delivered again they were prepared correctly but they failed to bring any horseradish or lemons. Our Crab Chops were overcooked, not warm enough and borderline tasteless. Rather than embrace ourselves in front of our guests we let everything slide. Apparently new management has taken over and as a result food quality and ambiance has suffered.

This poor review is deserved because you already knew and didn't care.

    We finally got a chance to go to dinner as a couple. With two kids, sometimes this is impossible…read more So when we finally got the opportunity, we decided to try the Annapolitan. We sat outside and were pleased with the location. The location surely had its charms. Relaxing, calming. Perfect environment for some much needed respite. The restaurant is situated on a quaint quiet street, across from some beautiful Charlestown style homes. We both chose Ribeye steaks and boy was I surprised. They were huge! We BOTH got our steaks grilled perfect! I was extremely impressed. I jokingly told the waitress they mush have a boxer working in the back, tenderizing the meat because the steaks were so tender I rarely used the knife. The steaks was incredible, just the right amount of searing, juicy, seasoned just right, and so flavorful. And get this, we received our steaks at the same time, right off the grill so our dishes were both hot. It had been such a long time since I had enjoyed a meal this much. My reservation of going again has absolutely nothing to do with this restaurant. Cost of living is getting high and the cost of a great dinner like at the Annapolitan will cost you. But if you want something special, it is worth it.

    Went there today 15 March for my birthday and was truly disappointed…read more The wait for the food was entirely too long, especially when there was only 4 other tables occupied. We arrived 10+ minutes before party of 5 and ordered our food before them and our food arrived at the same time as theirs along with the party of 3 that was there when we arrived. Needless to say my French toast was cold, I sent it back, they wanted to give me an order of French toast that clearly belonged to someone else, because it had caramel and apples and I ordered mine with strawberries. I said no thank you, I was good and didn't want any at all. Midway through my meal the guy brings out the French toast with strawberries, but the kicker is it wasn't freshly made but put in the microwave, because it was soggy. The strawberry compote tasted like it came out of a jar, and the French toast had one strawberry sliced in half on it. I gave 2 stars because the grits were decent and the crab cakes were okay, (to much mustard), they didn't have that Maryland style taste of Old Bay seasoning (I grew up in the area and frequent Lexington Market and restaurants, when I visit there, so I know the taste of good crab cakes). Sincerely very disappointed Mia

I ordered the Cali Bowl - Miso Salmon (added blackened shrimp) and fries WITH NO SALT as an APPETIZER! My buddy orders wings and a salad. His salad comes out promptly but no fries. The food comes out shortly after and he says the wings are great. Great for him! My fries finally make an appearance and are overly salty. I reminded the waitress they were requested unsalted so she took them back. By the time she'd returned with the new batch of fries, which was quite prompt, I'd mixed the ingredients of my Cali Bowl only to discover that it was lukewarm at best. The fries tasted refried, soaked with grease. The third time was a charm for the fries. I'd mentioned temperature of the bowl and although she'd offer to have it remade, it was quicker to reheat it, thus my request. It came back slightly warmer but not enough to eat. At this point, I was over it and just packed it up to take home. It wasn't the best visit but it definitely wasn't the worst. The croissants are the reason I'm sure I'll be back.

Every time we come we wonder why don't more people know about it…read more It's a unique place in town that specializes in wine and bites to pair with all the various choices. I love the atmosphere as it's fancy enough for wine and cheese but not stuck up or snobbish as one may expect. The service here is always exceptional and the server is very attentive. For the wine I do enjoy a good white wine here, and I usually get a charcuterie board to go with it. One star off only because it's a little bit expensive and also you have to choose between ordering two cheeses and two meats or three and you can't order just one meat and one cheese.
