    The menu.
    Daniel H.

    Before I blather on let me say head out here and get the $5 shrimp po boy special to try them out. It's not on a bun.. it's a 6(or more) inch loaf that's a little skinny but that made it perfect for eating and driving. The person claiming touristy prices must be from out of town or something. You get what you pay for. We have inflation dood! Lay off the "stuff" brah. You trippin! So, I was headed home to Reefer Ridge in almost Kennah, brah! after an appointment with a client. I was talking to my friend Jeff Hewitt, former Riverside County supervisor that served on the LNC with me. He is the guy who knows who the real life John Galt is but I ain't tellin. I then saw this sign that said $5 Shrimp Sandwich. I told this to Jeff as I was U turning and he agreed that I needed to go back and check that out. It was the new seafood restaurant taking over the old Rally's across from the St Roch Market. My first impression was the place was clean. My next impression was "Oh £¥€k! Where is my wallet!" I then drove to the speaker and they confirmed they could use my Apple wallet. My next impression was it was a pretty extensive menu and it looked good. I ordered the $5 special and decided to get a side of red beans. My next impression was at the window where I noticed they seemed to be Asian. "Eff Yeah!"This got me hopeful because maybe they were Vietnamese and most of my preferred shrimp po boys have been made by people of Vietnamese ethnicity. My Apple Wallet worked! After a very short wait of maybe 3-5 minutes they handed me a bag. I then continued on my way home.. eating my sammich. I had figured it was going to get a bun. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a po boy banh mi style. A little six(or more) inch loaf. I had forgotten to ask for ketchup and hot sauce the way I normally get it but that was ok especially for the first time. My next impression was how perfect the bread was. It was crisp and light and didn't cut my mouth. The shrimp were fresh and good and of a decent size. I could have stood a little more mayo for my taste but once again better for the first impression. I stayed off the interstate as I was eating and talking to Jeff on my headset. I finished the sandwich very pleased. Despite how skinny it was, it took me a while to eat. I moved on to the red beans. First impression here was.. "That's a lotta garlic!" Beans were good. Some meat in them. Not overloaded with rice. Portion size was maybe a little small for $3 So I am sitting here writing this review shocked how few reviews there are already and how poor the ones that are. Don't take our word for it. Go get the 5 dollar special and come make your own. Sorry for the lack of pics. I was driving, eating and talking on a headset. I have the menu in my car so I was grab that and post it. Every time I think about it.. I think I want another one and am considering making the 25 minute trip today, even though it's less that 12 hours later. That's a good sign.

    $6 Special Fish Poboy

    After reading the reviews for this place I decided to give them a try and review it myself. I had pretty low expectations to be honest. Went through the drive through and was in and out in about 5 minutes. I drove home before opening the package thinking I'd need to add more dressing or cheese etc. After the 10-15 minute drive to midcity the sandwich was still acceptably warm, crispy, and delicious.. I didn't add anything and was totally happy with it.. My GF thought it was weird that it didn't have tomato, but it had the right amount of lettuce, pickle and mayo for my personal taste. (saw another positive review that said it was light on mayo, I wonder if they saw that and adjusted, because I like a fairly unhealthy amount of mayo on my sandwich's and this was perfect) The bun had a great texture, about an 8 inch sandwich with plenty of fish (catfish) - I really liked the way the fish was cut up and battered, really nicely balanced bites. I was going to give it 4 stars but I couldn't come up with a single improvement that would make it better so they get 5 on this sandwich.. I'll try another menu item next time and update if necessary! (if I can resist getting this sandwich again!)

    Lemon pepper bread it I didn't want that I thought it was nake it and chicken look like it's on steroids

    I'm pissed. The first time I tried it and it's nasty cajun rice is plain rice no taste, the chicken wings looked make on the picture lemo pepper bread is not good , service good but that not Cajun rice and the need new chicken wings

    FOURTEEN DOLLARS for this

    this place is basically a scam, the amount of food you receive looks nothing like what is pictured. paid fourteen dollars for a "basket" and got seven shrimp. You'd be better off going literally anywhere else.

    Ian and Callie are incredible! We ordered the smokes tuna dip, the fried bread, fried okra, shrimp…read moretoast, crab rice, redfish, potatoes, and cream corn. For dessert peanut butter pie and caramel cake. For drinks we had French 75 with gin, red corvette and Chardonnay. Everything, and I mean every single thing, was delicious. Superb. Excellent service. Beautiful ambiance. Clean. Friendly. Good food. Keep it going.

    The service here is really lovely and attentive overall. Our server was extremely knowledgeable…read moreabout the entire menu, which changes regularly, as well as the wine list. Good for business dinners and dates. Most importantly, Peche has some of the best seafood I've had (up there with the daily catch I used to get when I lived directly on the Caribbean Sea, east of the Yucatán peninsula). The whole fish is to die for. Bring someone to share it with (or come hungry). Their sides are also exquisite--at the time, I had the roasted carrots with some sort of creamy, vegan sauce (not currently on the menu); it was so flavorful, almost decadent. I could've eaten only the vegetables and been very satisfied. Note that they do always have some non-fish small plates and entrees on the menu for those non-fish eaters. P.S. They easily accommodated my serious gluten and dairy allergies.

    Out in New Orleans on vacation, and our hotel recommended Mr. Ed's to us. We are SO glad they did!…read moreWe were seated right away, and the restaurant has such a cute atmosphere with authentic local charm. Our waitress, Donna, was wonderful and helped us pick out some great dishes. My husband started with a half dozen raw oysters, and he said they were phenomenal! We then shared the seafood nachos and the crawfish étouffée, and WOW! The richness, flavor, and seasoning were like nothing we've had before. Every bite was absolutely delicious! Run, don't walk, to Mr. Ed's! This place is AMAZING! Definitely a must-try when you're in New Orleans!

    We came here for a late lunch because I was really craving a po' boy and had seen good reviews…read moreonline, but honestly we left pretty disappointed. I ordered the shrimp po' boy, which was around $22, and was surprised it didn't come with fries. Usually places either include them or at least mention that they're separate when ordering. We also started with the charbroiled oysters, and whatever topping or seasoning was on them had this weird crunchy, crackling texture that literally felt like it was cracking against my teeth when I bit into it. I don't know if it was burnt cheese or what, but I personally could not eat more than one. The service also wasn't great during our visit. 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.

    Charboiled oysters is the way to go!…read more If you're looking for a snack and a drink. Drago's is great to go to, for the charboiled oysters and a heavy NOLA drink. although a tad bit too sweet lol. Service is fine, and the ambiance is of an old buffet feel. But the oysters hit the spot and honestly could have eaten much more. butter and garlic! always a yum.

    Convenient location in Hilton if you are staying inside the Hilton or in the area…read more Highlights: - Brownie with ice cream and whipped cream - really nice dessert and delicious. Huge portion. Enough to share with 4 people by itself. - Cheesecake -it was more like a deconstructed cheesecake - with whipped cheesecake in 2 scoops on top a surface of cookie crumble crust. This was really good too if you like cheesecake. - There was an issue with our hotel room and someone came to fix it and left us vouchers for a free dessert or a drink. That was really nice of them and we were able to redeem our vouchers at the same table. Mid's: - Spinach Artichoke dip - not a fan of this one. We were all really excited for this because we all love it normally but this one seemed off. It had a weird flavor and maybe it wasn't creamy/cheesy enough. - Fries - just fine. - Cornbread - fine. - Service: Our server got one of our orders wrong (a drink) and did fix it but overall, he wasn't super attentive and really wanted us to order the oysters even though we turned him down multiple times. Casual atmosphere in the dining area. The bar looks nice.
