    Really lovely ambiance. Great servers. Glenda was great. I love having a quality restaurant in my hotel.

    Macaroni and cheese
    Benjamin H.

    Went here for Thanksgiving dinner, so I can't say much about their regular menu. However, the dinner tasted like a touch of home. It was prepared with very traditional fixings and flavors. The turkey was moist and flavorful, the potatoes were creamy, and the fresh cranberry sauce was delightful. I also had the Gulf shrimp cocktail, and the shrimp was perfectly prepared. Not overdone at all. My only complaint was their macaroni and cheese. It was made with three cheeses, so I was excited for the complexity of flavors. However, instead of preparing it as a big dish that is gooey and creamy, it was prepared more like a pasta dish, with an al dente pasta mixed in with a cheese sauce, topped with a crunchy bread topping and put in the oven briefly. It was my least favorite dish of the evening. The service was quick and attentive, and the ambiance was warm and energetic. They have plenty of seating for large groups.

    I'm a little annoyed at myself as I write this review because I got a parking ticket while here! :/ Anyways, this place is cute! They have a lovely, sophisticated, modern decor. We ordered the biscuit and gravy, and I added an egg. The biscuit was a bit dense. It's certainly not your grandma's melt-in-your-mouth biscuits. They were buttered or glazed with something on top, and overall, they were decent biscuits. The dish also comes with crispy potatoes. The potatoes were lovely, they are cubed, fried potatoes and were cooked to the perfect crisp level. The gravy was thick and creamy, and it carried a lot of flavor. They chicken sausage is chopped up in tiny pieces, so I suggest adding another protein to the meal. The price is pretty average for a hotel bar/restaurant, and I think it was worth the price. Also, some lady popped up out of nowhere and made small talk with us about our order and how good the biscuit and gravy is. I'm assuming she's the manager or something. She was very friendly, but didn't introduce herself, so we were taken aback at first!

    First time dining at King Brasserie for a Christmas party, and I was instantly obsessed.. A friend of mine knows Chef Sam, so we were already in good hands, but the experience truly exceeded every expectation. I ordered the duck, and listen.. I've been back at least once a week ever since just to have it again. It's that serious. I also love lounging at the bar from time to time. Diamond is an absolute gem and takes great care of me every visit. This stunning restaurant sits inside the Hotel Fontenot right on Tchoupitoulas. A solid 10/10 recommend.

    Great brunch of turkey and accompaniments at King brasserie in the Fonteno hotel in downtown Nola really enjoyed it. We will be back.

    Another Quiche Lorraine and crawfish beignets. Yum'

    4/5 Food 3.5/5 Ambiance I love this place! I ate breakfast here almost every day during my stay. Great food, especially all of the pastries. My favorite was the quiche Lorraine served with a side salad for breakfast. The homemade crust is noticeably flaky and wonderful. The accompanying salad is perfectly dressed. The crawfish beignets are not to be missed. They are light as a feather,crunchy with a delectable soft and cheesy center.

    King is in one of our favorite hotels in New Orleans, so it has become an automatic go-to for us because it is convenient and we have generally gotten breakfast with our room as either part of our room rate or as an IHG Diamond member. If we went on food alone, it would make sense that this was our go-to. If we went on most other things (e.g., timeliness, organization, consistency of service), it would not make sense. Let me explain. I've never had bad food here. Ever. And I've probably tried 75% of the brunch menu at this point. The food is generally solid, and even though there are a few things that are better than others (e.g., burger over the big breakfast, frittata over croque monsieur, crawfish beignets over oysters), you won't go wrong with the food. It's excellent. The biggest issue - and it's a consistent one - is the general management and efficiency of the restaurant. Our last visit took 2.25 hours in total with a moderately "crowded" place. A tale out order placed while we were at our table took more than an hour. There seems to be actual clarity about how things flow and what's going on, and that hasn't gotten much better (or at all) over time. Fix those things - and consistently so - and this would be a solid 4/4.5, maybe 5 stars.

    Grits-$7
    Bindi S.

    More like a 3.5. Was staying at the hotel Kimpton and had breakfast here one morning. Husband got the eggs your way platter and I got the avo toast. We also got a side of grits and fruit. Total was a whopping $61-very pricy. Portions were really small for the prices and service was okish and very slow compared to the rest of the hotel. There were only 3 tables full at breakfast so no reason for the slow service. My avo toast was just a slice of whole wheat bread (seemed store bought) with a very thin layer of smashed avocado and 2 spiral of cucumber. Looked fancy but not worth the $17 price tag. Husband's egg platter was better but still small.

    Strawberry matcha from coffee shop in the same hotel
    LaVonna V.

    This sweet spot is located inside a hotel with another amazing restaurant and a beautiful coffee shop. Each place I interacted with while trying to locate King Brasserie inside was delightfully helpful and informative. The customer service from the barista Moon was phenomenal I had a strawberry macha which was perfect and delectable. I felt special and seen throughout our happy hour experience.Would definitely return. I recommend.

    Happy hour menu

    What a nice spot! Went for dinner before a concert for the first time. The food was pretty good. The ambiance is nice and the service was on point! I had the steak tartare to start and it was pretty good but something in it was off putting to me. The barbecue shrimp were super delicious...the sauce was amazing. My husband had the burger and I had the bouillabaisse. Both were pretty tasty. I'll be back because they had some other items I wanted to try and I want to check out their happy hour. Check em out it's worth it!!!!

    Crawfish beignets
    Ronald W.

    Came straight for the airport for the crawfish beignets. Also ordered the gumbo to make a dinner of it. Crawfish beignets are very tasty but the filling had too much sauce to crawfish for me especially since the sauce was similar if not the same as the dipping sauce. Loved the gumbo though would have been nice in a bigger portion size. Great service and was surprised area street parking was free on a week night according to the payment app I was forced to download when I entered the zone.

    Arugula salad with fried anchovies
    Holly W.

    This was a big surprise for me. Had never heard of it but it was on the Coolinary site. It's a little tricky to find. It's the restaurant affiliated with the Hotel Fontenot. Arrived at 12:30 for the brunch and we were literally the only guests which made me nervous. Not a good sign. However I was dead wrong. It's an attractive space. Started off with crawfish beignets which were served very hot. A cheesy mess inside. Fantastic. Arugula salad with fried anchovies, Parm and breadcrumbs. We all had Oyster BLTs which were dynamite. Very hot freshly fried oysters, bacon, lettuce and tomato and green goddess dressing. Very generous portion of perfectly cooked fries. Yum. Chef complimented us a trio of sorbet--, vanilla, fresh peach and chocolate. Just the perfect amount. It closes after lunch and reopens at 5. We parked in lot across the street.

The atmosphere is relaxed, the drinks are well made, and the service makes you want to stay awhile. Whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet afternoon with someone special, Rusty Nail is one of those places that reminds you how wonderful the simple moments can be. We'll definitely be back for another round of oysters and cocktails. A perfect Sunday in New Orleans.

Upon our arrival on the first evening, we were kindly greeted by Ebony. We proceeded to find seating in the lounge, and I then made my way to the restroom. While washing my hands, I noticed that the soap dispenser was empty. I informed Ebony of this, and she promptly notified her colleagues, and the dispenser was refilled without delay. After washing my hands, I rejoined my party at our table. Ebony entered the lounge to check on all guests, and upon noticing our readiness to order, she approached us and asked if we had any questions. I inquired about a specific cocktail, and although she was unsure of the answer, she offered to consult the bartender on my behalf, which I greatly appreciated. Upon her return, we placed our drink orders, and she continued to check on us throughout the evening as we ordered additional rounds of drinks. During our conversation, I asked if she could recommend any exceptional dining establishments that catered to our preferred cuisine for our visit. She engaged with us and asked about our culinary interests. She went above and beyond by providing a list of several places tailored to our preferences, all of which proved to be delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening, including the service, beverages, and atmosphere. However, it was truly the outstanding service provided by Ebony that made us eager to return. The following evening, we returned with the hope of seeing Ebony, but unfortunately, she was not present. This did not discourage us from staying. We took our seats, and it was quite some time before anyone attended to us. When Audrey finally approached, I asked her if she knew whether Ebony would be working that evening. She informed us that Ebony was no longer with them. Consequently, we understood that Ebony no longer worked at the establishment. We then ordered and received our cocktails. When we were ready to order another round, Audrey was clearing tables, and we asked if we could place another order. She requested a moment. After she finished clearing and cleaning all the tables, she proceeded to retrieve all the lamps from the storage cabinet to place on the tables without putting our drink order in, as we already had an open tab. A table that had been cleared still contained a customer's cigar cutter, lighter, drink, and water. The customer returned from the restroom with a confused expression, as he had not finished his cigar and drinks. Audrey then stated, "Oh, I thought you were done," with an unapologetic demeanor, and escorted him to the humidor to retrieve another cigar. Audrey returned to the lounge, and another couple attempted to clarify to Audrey that the other customer had not yet finished. Audrey, however, responded with a nonchalant attitude, stating "Oh, he was done." As Audrey exited from the lounge, we observed Ebony entering the lounge. We informed her that we were under the impression she no longer worked there. She inquired as to why we held that belief, and we clarified that Audrey had conveyed that information to us. Audrey provided unsatisfactory service and we were ready to close out our tab as we still did not receive or next round of drinks. Following all of that, Audrey eventually asked if we were ready to place our order, and we chose not to order the drinks we had desired earlier in the evening due to her lack of service. Once more, with an unapologetic and nonchalant demeanor, Audrey stated, "That's fine." Ebony came out to close out our tab but we indeed ordered another round due to Ebony's service. Had we encountered Audrey on our first evening, we certainly would not have returned for a second night. Therefore, we extend our gratitude to Ebony for making our initial visit enjoyable and for encouraging our return. Should we have the occasion to return, I would respectfully decline to have Audrey as our service person and would choose not to patronize this establishment unless we could have Ebony as our service person.
