    Came here after a long flight and trek to our hotel. It was a bit challenging to find so we circled around for a bit, before realizing it is in a hotel. Not sure about parking because it was right next to the hotel we were staying at. Loved that it was exactly the vibe we were looking, casual cute with a loud exciting ambiance. It was very crowded but I was happy they were able to seat us right away at the bar. I started off with the French onion soup with was delicious! Then we shared the burger and oh boy did it hit the spot. Only downside was the service was a bit off. People seemed very distracted and irritated to be taking orders. However it was Mardi Gras week and valentines day so hoping that is a one off. Overall 4/5 stars.

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

    Macaroni and cheese

    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

    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.

    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!!!!

    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.

There are three options, but we stuck with their original. Want to sample all three then order their flight of Pimm's. The muffuletta is served warm and can be ordered whole, half, or quarter. This is a classic sandwich stuffed with all your favorite cold cuts, provolone cheese, and of course their homemade Italian olive salad. Do not sleep on their hot pastrami sandwich served with creole mustard. Of course, their gumbo and red beans and rice is to die for.

My wife requested a chicken sandwich and potato salad. I hesitated as I was ordering and the server walked away while I was ordering. When he returned, he was surprised to learn that I wanted to order more food. Then he told another worker that I put my appetizer in late, so all the food came out at once. That was fine with me, but the tables were small, so not a lot of room. The sausage was tasty, but didn't hold itself together well. The red beans and rice were very tasty. I'd get those again. My first mufaleta sandwich was very tasty. Half of a sandwich is a big serving. I really enjoyed it and it makes me want to try more of them. My wife really liked her chicken sammich and potato salad. Overall, very good meal and friendly service. Good stuff!

Another drink we got was great as well, and made with fresh juices. The vibe and venue is great here...
