    Beignets
    Roxy M.

    The hotel restaurant has great beignets. They were flaky, hot, and fresh. Once you order, the food will be delivered to your table. The location is beautiful and very clean. What a great way to start your day in the Hyatt Centric hotel.

    We had breakfast here as part of globalist program w Hyatt. Breakfast was delicious I loved the light and fluffy pancakes, shrimp and grits and spinach omelette. My son loved the Yakamein but it's a heavy breakfast as it has beef, eggs noodles and shrimp. He also enjoyed the chicken and waffles, pancakes and breakfast sandwich. Green juice was also delicious.

    Came here during a Christmas bar hop with my cousins. I asked the bartender, Felipe, how much a French 75 with Cognac would be. He listed different cognacs and I settled on Hennessy be. Before placing my order, I asked how much would a French 75 with Hennessy. Felipe told me $18. Ok bet, I placed my order and got a festive French 75 with Hennessy. I happily took my pictures for Yelp before receiving a bill for the $18 Hennessy plus a modified cocktail up charge of $4. I asked what the up charge was for and was told because I added cognac to my drink. Initially I asked Felipe for the total price of a French 75 with Hennessy and was told $18. He did not mention any form of an up charge. When I told him it's ok, just take it off. He took the drink from in front of me and went to dump it out. Afterwards I ordered ONLY Hennessy with the manager. This man threw away an entire shot of Hennessy, just so that the manager would have to make me a whole other drink with A SHOT OF HENNESSY. I'm afraid common sense is not common anymore.

    Complementary glass of wine as a Globalist!

    Our bartender, Ken did a great job tonight. We got two complimentary drinks (beer or wine) since we are Globalists. It was really nice of Hyatt Centric to do this. And Ken was so nice to serve us with a smile. The bar is spacious and they have a beautiful curio where they feature gorgeous bottles on display. Really enjoyed looking at all the bottles. We have an awesome breakfast here every morning too!

    I know it's a bar inside a hotel but this place is worth a visit! The drink menu is so creative and the drinks are absolutely delicious! Love their comfy seating.

    Yummy deviled eggs

    This is a beautiful lobby bar/restaurant in the Hyatt Centric around the corner from Bourbon Street. I was seated at a high booth across from the bar where I had a great view of the jazz band that was playing. I ordered a cup of the gumbo to start, but I didn't like it at all. It was watery and had a funny taste. The hostess came over and offered to take it off my bill or get me something else. I ordered the deviled eggs instead. For my entree I ordered the Creole Jambalaya, which was excellent! It was a large portion of the rice and tomatoes loaded with shrimp and andouille sausage, with 3 large blackened shrimp on top. Tasty and like I said, excellent! The deviled eggs came out after I started to get full, but I ate 2 of the 4 halves. They were really good! I then asked for a to go box. The hostess was super sweet to help out while my waitress was busy, and not only did she bring me hot sauce and offer me more ice for my drink, but she brought ny check and when I asked her where the restroom was she walked me to it when she could have easily just pointed it out. My waitress was nice too and followed up to see if I liked the deviled eggs. Did I say they were great? I had a very nice evening, not rushed and with delicious food that I would come back here for.

    Hyatt Centric is a pleasant surprise. Going to a bar in a hotel isn't something I would typically gravitate to but the drinks are top notch, the service is great, and the food is good. The area is a cute vibe too. -The craft cocktails are a must! Elder Daughter - Perfection Strawberries & Cream - Excellent dessert cocktail. Martini Espresso - Very Nice. The flavors blended well. Bourbon Refresher-Exactly that refreshing! -The service was great. The bartender Ryan is attentive and funny. He gave great recommendations for food and drinks. The other bartenders quickly attended to other patrons. -Fried Pork Chop Sandwich is a great bar bite and quite filling. The pork chop is a thin fried pork chop great on a sandwich. I thought the ham would be overkill but everything complemented each other nicely. -Blackened Salmon & Risotto. Great dinner choice. The Salmon didn't have a fishy taste and was seasoned enough...I would have preferred maybe a tad more blackening seasoning but still very good. The risotto went well with the salmon. It was cheesy with just the right amount of creaminess. -Wings. I didn't love them. They are passable. -Cornbread. Definitely worth getting. It's thick and dense without being dry. The condiment that comes with it complements the cornbread well. Would definitely soak up some alcohol. Also the bathroom was ridiculously clean!

    It is a very nice restaurant inside the hotel. Delicious food and very friendly service. We really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere as well.

    I was looking for a space to host a very large group happy hour and called Holmes by accident - it was a blessing in disguise and I can't recommend this place enough. I spoke with Lau on the phone and then coordinated with Santiago who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a group of 50! Both gentleman were professional, kind, accommodating, and it was the best customer service experience I've had in a long time. Thank you both!

    Gingerbread Ninja Old Fashioned

    Stopped by for the Christmas popup and it was incredible! They did a fantastic job decorating and sticking on the theme of drinks that sleigh. I had the Ninja Gingerbread Old Fashioned and Santa's Sleigh and both were incredibly tasty and visually stunning. My partner also had a drink that I can't remover the name of but was serves in an upside down Christmas tree mug which was also tasty. We were there at happy hour and they gave free bar snacks and mulled wine as well. The staff were friendly and made incredible drinks. I had never heard of this bar before probably because it's in a hotel but it's on my radar now and I will be back.

    Nice bar area.

In the restaurant business, we all have a switch: once the doors open, it flips. Until then, you're seeing people exactly as they are. This team is genuine. Hands down. Yes, I know, I'm technically here for a king cake. Standing in line for a king cake from a famous fried chicken company almost feels satirical. But watching the entire team sit down together for a meal an hour before service told me everything I needed to know about the leadership and the values of this company. People matter here. You can see why the sandwiches are as good as they are. You can feel why the king cake is worth the wait. This team operates like a family; kind to one another, intentional, and connected. The food is made with care because the people are cared for. I'm not here to review the food (which is phenomenal) or the king cake. I'm here to review the brand. This is the kind of business we should be proud to support as a community. Keep it up.

I also like that they feature a daily special that isn't on the regular menu--it adds a nice element of variety. Everything is cooked to order, which is definitely a plus. Just keep in mind that most of the menu is fried, so this isn't the place to go if you're looking for a particularly healthy meal.

    We had an absolutely exceptional dinner at Café Amélie tonight! With the recent rain, the usual…read morepotent French Quarter street smells were washed away, leaving the air beautifully fresh and the temperatures perfectly cool. Though pop-up showers were still lingering, my husband and I decided to take a gamble on courtyard dining--and I am so glad we did! Sheltered under the green umbrellas surrounded by historic brick walls, lush greenery, and rain-kissed citrus trees, the atmosphere was incredibly romantic and peaceful. The courtyard's intimate layout even brought a bit of extra magic to our evening. We sat near another wonderful couple (and their adorable daughter) and became fast friends, sharing laughs and conversation throughout the night. What truly anchored the experience, though, was the incredible service. The staff was remarkably personable, helpful, and welcoming. The dinner itself was excellent from start to finish, showcasing immense culinary skill across every dish. We started with the delicious brussels sprouts and a uniquely seasoned spring/summer gumbo that was unlike any version we've had before (oh, what I would give for the recipe). As for the entrées, the shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and the blackened catfish sandwich with a fresh salad was executed flawlessly...and the bread pudding was fantastic, too! It is rare to find an experience where top-tier hospitality, a breathtaking environment, and great food come together so (seemingly) effortlessly. Café Amélie is an absolute must-visit! We will be back.

The host was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our server and helpers were over quickly to drop off waters and greet us. I ended up ordered the salmon. With it being so early and only one or 2 other tables besides my friend and me, the food did take longer to come out than I expected it to. Both of us did thoroughly enjoy what we got. The salmon was crispy on the outside with a nice sauce over it. We thought we'd have time to get dessert so we ordered a couple but that too took a very long time. We finally waved down our server to cancel and get the check since we had to be somewhere and he apologized and said their WiFi was going in and out so it could be that it was registering on the kitchen side. That may have explained why our entrees took too long. If it wasn't for the service and the food being great - I would not be thrilled about timing. We got there around 5:30p and had to leave by 7:15p so an almost 2 hours experience that probably could have been 1 hour.

We were a party of 3 adults and 2 children (one being only 2 years old), and because of that they changed our table type from a 4-top to a 5-top and made us wait an additional 30 minutes. Meanwhile, multiple tables became available that easily could have accommodated us, but the hostess was determined to keep telling us we had to wait. To make matters worse, there was open bench seating in the back where customers ordering to-go could sit. I offered to order food to-go so we could at least sit down and get started while waiting, and she told me if I did that they would remove our name from the waitlist because "you have to pick one or the other." No willingness to problem solve whatsoever. She repeatedly said she was "sorry," but her actions showed the opposite. I was simply trying to work together to find some reasonable solution instead of continuing to watch everyone else get seated while our family, including small children, kept waiting. Absolutely horrible customer service experience.

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.
