Food was just okay, nothing special. Our appetizer never came out. Compared to the number of visits the table next to us received, service was poor. The waiter was not attentive at all and then because it was Essence weekend, there was automatic gratuity. So, he was given a $25 tip for poor service. Also, Essence festival was over, so we should not have been subjected to that rule. I will give a shout out to the female manager, she tried to make our visit a little better. read more

First time visiting Monday with friends for brunch to celebrate my Birthday. Great vibes here and seems to be a very well oiled spot. Server came quick, introduced himself and told us about the specials. I ordered the Lamb Chops & Grits with a side of shrimp. The lamb was over cooked a bit but the grits and shrimp were great. One of my friends got the lamb as well and his was cooked perfectly so maybe just the kitchen moving fast. Overall the service was great and I would definitely want to come back to try dinner. read more

Never again. It's all hype. The ambiance ain't even nice. I went last Friday (7/31) but got a To Go order. I ordered 2 things of gumbo, red beans and rice with smoked sausage, a frozen margarita (just to drink while I waited). I sat at the bar and the guy waiter didn't even greet us just said what you drinking? I said I don't know it's my first time here. He just gave a fake smile no welcome none of that. I looked over the menu and said what would you recommend to eat here he said of course the highest thing on the menu. I looked around at other plates and didn't see any of what he was mentioning. I already knew right then there let me just keep this light m. The gumbo was just broth no actually rue with cup of noodles shrimp in it. The red beans and rice was way too salty. All this was almost $100 (well $94.98) It was definitely not worth it. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there. read more

First off - delicious food. There is no denying that. Now everything else... Service started off strong. Waitress came in loud and jovial and seemed ready to get the job done but it tapered off from there. We had a party of 15 guests so of course things can get easily confused. none of the food came out at the same time, which is honestly a pet peeve of mine because when you have a large party like we did, things can get missed easily. It also took a very long time for our cocktails to come out, to the point where i was questioning if they ever got made. But we did eventually get them. I was personally annoyed and somewhat miserable because all things I ate and drank were pretty much " out of stock " that. I asked for soda water and coffee. She claimed she was out of both those things. If you have cocktails, you have soda water. And what type of brunch place has zero coffee available? I even tried to get an espresso martini and they were out of that as well saying they didn't have the cold brew. I was 0 for 3. Luckily, all the food i wanted was in stock, I got the fried red snapper, Brussels sprouts and mashed sweet potato. Everything was hot and fresh by the time it came out. I also tried the seafood pizza and sweet potato beignets. Very delicious! The beignets tasted like sweet potato pie. Now for the very bad, my friend/one of our party members didn't even get her food at all. She ordered probably the simplest meal out of everyone, chicken and waffles. The waitress claimed it was coming but how long does it take to fry a piece of chicken and cook a waffle? The food was simply forgotten about and she ended up cancelling her order and going without, just eating sides. There was also a man on the clock selling weed to guests, simply unprofessional. Now would I go back? probably. But only with a max of 3 other people, not a party. They seemed more equipped for smaller tables versus large parties. read more

I stopped by for dinner on a Saturday evening and sat at the bar. Service was friendly and efficient, and my food came out in a timely manner. I ordered the Chicken Pasta Alfredo, which was creamy and had a nice flavor. I also tried the sweet potato beignets. They were good, but the flavor stood out more from the sauce on top rather than the sweet potato filling itself. Overall, it was a nice experience. I enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and my meal. I'd visit again to try more from the menu. read more

Every time I pass by Monday it's always crowded with people willing to park a few blocks a way and walk over. It was finally time for me to give it a try. Monday is first come first serve, no reservations, and your entire party has to be there for them to seat you. There's also a 2 hour limit from when you sit down. There's a huge outdoor area which is where we were seated. I came for their Happy Hour which is pretty solid. Most of their drinks are at a discounted price and a select few appetizers were also included. I tried the mojito why was super refreshing! And my friend tried a strawberry beverage. We also got a few appetizers to share: the eggrolls, wings, and truffle fries! All if it was good. My favorite was the truffle fries, you can see how much parmesan and flavor is on them in the picture. Service: Our server was super nice and knowledgeable Drinks: So many options, there menu wasn't up to date (no tap beer). But there are plenty of yummy cocktails. Happy Hour: All day Monday and 3-6pm on weekdays Outdoor Seating: Yes, a lovely area which they keep cool with fans Parking: They have a parking lot and lots of street parking in the neighborhood read more

This is a very nice establishment. Our server was extremely attentive and professional. To be honest the only reason they are getting 4-stars is because I hate eating cold food. I'm not sure if it was because it's was 8 of us and they waited for everyone food to be prepared to bring it out or what, beats my Mac and cheese was cold. The cheese on top was very hard. The dirty rice was cold but the fish was hot. The food did not hit like i thought it would. I might go back to try with a smaller group but the experience was okay. The music was on point though. read more

Monday definitely lives up to the hype. Just left there with a belly fully and truly happy I chose to eat brunch here. Our server was Lane and she was very attentive and patient with us. We ordered the catfish + grits along with the lamb chops + grits, which were slap yo mama type good. THE SWEET POTATOES BEIGNETS ARE A MUST. Pro tip: pairs well with their soft serve ice cream (yum). Visiting from MN, and I can surely say I'd be back anytime I'm in LA again. read more

Respectfully, I can't justify waiting nearly two hours with a confirmed reservation for a large party and if it wasn't for my cousins special day I would not have stayed. The ambiance and aesthetic is on point and this indoor out door restaurant is huge and af (people were arriving by the car load non stop). Helpful Tip: ticket times were impressive. Our food arrived within minutes of ordering. The chicken biscuit was underwhelming and there was no flavor profile at All and it was warm in temp for a fried item. The grits were perfect! Would I voluntarily wait two hours again nope but I would consider coming back in the future with hopes of a five star experience read more

Monday gets really busy so I would suggest you make a reservation. Even though we did, we did still have to wait a little bit for our table to be cleared. Very lively restaurant and perfectly suits a nicer brunch vibe. I really enjoyed the frozen margarita flight I got. The flavors were fantastic. Favorite may have been the blueberry. Sweet potato beignets are actually not sweet at all - without the sauce. I think that's what carries most of the dish. I can't say I would get them again, but I wouldn't say don't try them. read more

This place is cute, plenty of outdoor space, but limited indoor seating. Ofc it's an establishment where your entire party must be there to be seated. The food is really good, especially the sweet potato beignets. They are overpriced though. read more

Hadn't been back here in a while and I'm glad we stopped in. The patio is completely covered with plenty of fans and three beautiful trees evenly spaced. Even in the summer heat it was pleasant to be outside. We got all the happy our offerings for food and each dish was impressive. We only wished we could have chosen the temperature of our burger, but we didn't ask. Our server Sunshine was very friendly and attentive. read more

We ordered the chicken cracklins which is just deep fried chicken skin, came with a spicy sweet and sour sauce which was really spicy but nothing special. The star of the show the shrimp and grits! So flavorful and savory licked everything off the plate. The honey biscuit was well seasoned too but the portion was a bit small. For dessert the sweet potato beignets are a must have! Tasted like a bit of thanksgiving heaven. Loved the vibes there and staff were amazing! I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu. read more

It was packed this day I went, on this day they were very efficient and the restaurant is definitely bigger than what I was initially able to see just from outside. The dip was OKAY. The catfish platter didn't necessarily blow me away, but it definitely something that reminds me of a Sunday after church situation. I'd like to come back and explore the menu more. Definitely worth the trip. read more

This was my third time here. The food was hot and the portion sizes are good. However, compared to the last two times (a while back), the gumbo lacked as much flavor. To my surprise, it did come with a large grilled cheese. I realize I didn't specify that I wanted the small gumbo when ordering so I received and was charged for the large one. The Chicken Alfredo pasta was decent. I would have enjoyed an iced tea with it but the bartender never got back with me about the types of sweeteners on hand. read more

am writing to rave about the wonderful dining experience we had at your restaurant. The service was exceptional and the food was truly amazing. Although we had a brief wait to be seated, it was not long at all. Once we were at our table, our initial appetizer and drink orders were placed within minutes. I order the waitress drink special selection it was great. We were incredibly impressed that all of our food arrived cooked to perfection and in less than 20 minutes, and we left feeling completely full and satisfied within the hour. Everything we tried was delicious, including: - Shrimp and grits - Pancakes - Redfish with Cajun rice and a salad - Sweet potato beignets Thank you for providing such a fantastic meal and great service. We look forward to visiting again soon! read more

Ambiance and service (on a Monday) was really nice and the food was delicious overall. The catfish was crispy with a solid portion of grits, the salmon burger was minced, filling, and had a great sauce, and the SP beignets and boudin egg rolls are a must-try -- and I don't even like boudin, also, the chicken and waffles has thick waffles and wings on the side instead which was interesting. Only downside was the menu felt a little underwhelming. read more

After a medium drive from Houston I wanted to unwind and enjoy a happy hour, and it only felt right to try Monday for my first time on a Monday. This was my first food stop for the night so I kept it light so I had room for a beignet later. I ended up going with the boudin egg rolls and pineapple sage julep to sip on while I watched the game at the bar. The egg rolls were nice and crispy and their house made viet sauce really elevated them! I enjoyed the flavor of the pineapple sage cocktail, I should've had two. My bartender was friendly and attentive throughout my time. Monday has a variety of seating to choose from, a charming outdoor patio as well as indoor and bar seating. It's a nice place to catch a vibe, watch a game, hangout with friends or just people watch. I caught an Uber to avoid the headache of finding legal parking. Next time I'm in NOLA I'll have an entree and leave a more wholesome review. Overall 9/10. read more

The number of times I've been here, can't believe this is my first review! The atmosphere is different, and I love it! It gives some type of garden oasis, but it's a really nice outdoor patio concept. The food is amazing, and service is great. I've had a number of items on the menu, but the salmon burger is definitely a top choice. Boudin eggrolls are soooo good, and the drinks are always just right. My favorite is the pineapple sage julep. The only thing I would drop a star for is the amount of flies. It's expected considering dining is outdoors and warm weather but still a little annoyance ... but it doesn't stop me from going back lol read more

Had such a great time and the sister restaurant we decided to visit here as well. We were able to make a reservation in advance so that was nice. Short wait time upon arrival to be seated. There was an option for patio or inside, and we chose inside. Seemed to be a little short staffed as server was covering many tables. Unfortunately, we chose to dine there that evening for the oyster special, but was told they were sold out. We also wee unable to order any frozen cocktails on the menu as well. Ended up getting Gumbo as I rewlly wanted oysters. Out server was MIA was a good 10mins and we couldnt locate her and had to ask another server let her know we neded assistance. The restaurant might have been having an off night as it was highly recommended. read more

Mondays had a very cool vibe, but personally I'd trade some of that atmosphere for better food. The dishes weren't bad, just not on par with the price point.

The drinks and the wings were tasty and the happy hour deals were good but that was about all this place could accomplish. They were understaffed so even though it wasn't packed it took very much too long for drinks to come out. They made us wait for our entire party to arrive to be seated but there were open seats everywhere so it felt super unnecessary to just make 6 people stand until 2 people showed up. It was very clear that the waitstaff was required to fight for their life to work there. She tried to upsell us every chance she got; if we weren't ordering a drink, are we sure we didn't want one, or another one? If we did order a drink, did we want to add another shot to it? If we had a burger, did we want to add extra toppings? Could we have room for dessert? Could we pretty please leave her a good google review? It was a lot. We felt like she was being required to ask these things. The length she wanted us to stay and drink and eat contradicted the menu's notice that we were only allowed to be there for 2 hours. The expensive truffle parmesan fries tasted like cardboard and not like truffle in any way. The shrimp tacos were inedible-- rubbery and overcooked, 2 shrimp in one and 10 in the other, shrimp thickly coated in some kind of chili powder, so few toppings that i couldn't even tell they were there on purpose at first. The burger came with fries and they put so few fries on the plate it might as well not have fries at all. Everything there was super expensive for what it was. read more

Great restaurant and I'll definitely be back to try some of the other things on the menu. Came in on a Monday and sat outside. The set up is nice and super cute with TVs around the tables. Music selection was on point -- I'd come back for this reason alone lol. They have daily drink and appetizer specials too. I came in with about 5 other people. We ordered a few different things on the menu: half roasted chicken, pasta, but most of the group ordered the bienville, which is what I had. Absolute delicious! Comes with one piece of fried catfish that was perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection. The crawfish etoufee that came with it was also delicious and seasoned very well. Initially, I thought the portion size could've been bigger (maybe I was just being greedy because I had heard such great things about the dish lol) but after finishing, I realized it was the perfect amount of food. Not too heavy, and I left feeling satisfied. We also ordered a few sweet potato beignets for the table and yes yes and YES! Sweeter than most of course because of the sweet potato, so I only ate one, but man was it delicious! Tasted like a sweet potato pie and a beignet mixed into one. Will definitely add this to the list of restaurants to visit when I'm in the city. There were so many things on the menu, it was difficult to decide, so I'll need to return to see what else is just as good. read more

Monday Restaurant + Bar - THE BIENVILLE - Cajun/Creole Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Sunday brunch Hot Spot!! Mondays opens at 11am on Sunday and I highly recommend making reservations. The staff was well prepared to seat all the peeps. We sat outside. Girls brunch for 4. I had the caramel apple lemon drop which was gorgeous and I recommend because the sugar caramel rim was lickable. It was a tad pricey for me, and a friend ordered the mimosa flight for a few more $$ --it was a rainbow of colors and seemed like you get more bang for you bucks with 4 drinks. I had the catfish and grits. Fish was fresh and hot, grits were creamy and smooth. Everyone agreed the grits were some of the best we've ever had. And the best part of the morning, in my opinion, the sweet potato beignets for dessert. They tasted somewhat like a funnel cake and seemed to be made with flaky layers of dough. Mmmm. Making my mouth water thinking about them. Our table also indulged in the shrimp & grits - she rated her shrimp okay and grits phenomenal. Also had an order of lamb chops, grits & asparagus. And the final order was chicken wings and waffle. Wings were crispy & plump and all she left was the bones. The waffle was more than enough to share tastings with friends. We had a delicious meal, service was attentive, and the drinks were packed with flavor....and a punch. Mondays is great for a casual or upscale Sunday brunch. read more

Food: 1000/10 - Everything was busssinn! New Orleans has the best food period. All I gotta say is the crab claws and beignets are a must try if you don't get anything else. Ratings are below for each dish: - BBQ Blue Crab Claws (1,000/10) - Shrimp and grits (100/10) - Catfish plater (10/10) - Sweet Potatoes Beignets (milli/10) Service: 8/10 Waitress was very nice and I love when she called me "bayybaee" in her lul Nola accent. Melted me every time! :) She also got us drinks that she made up, which we loved!!! So I don't know the name, all I know was it had tequila in it only thing was the food took a lil bit longer than I'd like, so a couple points lost there. Ambiance: 7.5/10 - Love the vibe of the restaurant. Came during Brunch so it gave exactly that with the loud music and good food. Although it was very packed in here the wait time was not too bad. Also the restrooms weren't that great; I had to stand in line for a long time. Overall: 8.5/10 - As a visitor to Nola, this place was amazing and I would recommend for all travelers. I really enjoy culture and the people. Nobody do it bigger and better than the N.O. bayybaee read more

This was honestly the best restaurant I went to during my state in New Orleans. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and everything was 10 out of 10. I was so full from the appetizers that could not even order an entrée, but I did get to sample the lamb chops & mashed potatoes, which were both good. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection. But the star of the show was the sweet potato beignets. I was super excited for these and they did not disappoint. We booked for a hookah experience, but did not see any hookah. The seating was outdoors and they had fans but it was still very hot! I would definitely like to come later in the evening when it's cooler! Customer service was decent. read more

If it's a Monday, I'm going to Mondays! I have a very bad habit of forgetting to leave my reviews but Mondays is always a good idea. They have all day happy hour on Mondays and the drinks are made to perfection! This week I started off with the boudin egg rolls and the bbq crab claws. I had to hold myself back from finishing them egg rolls so I could be ready for my entree. I'm a sucker for a good red fish and I got asparagus and Mac n cheese on the side. I was disappointed that I only got 3 spears of asparagus but it was good nonetheless. For drinks, I got a hibiscus martini and a glass of Pinot Grigio. I honestly would've stayed longer for the vibes but my phone was dying! read more

Listen, Monday will be on my list every time I visit New Orleans !!!! When I tell you EVERYTHING was amazing, everything was AMAZING !!!!! Reservations are HIGHLY recommended ! This place gets busy really fast and you don't want to sit around for hours waiting on a table. The ambiance was captivating! Definitely brunch, party, and chill vibes. They are accommodating to your vibes honestly. The insides are catered to those that just want to eat in peace. But OUTSIDE is where all the fun is. I went on a Saturday morning and I ordered the margarita flights while my friend got the mimosa flights. I started with a bowl of gumbo as my appetizer along with the seafood pizza. 1000/10 for all of it !!!! Sooo much flavor packed in eat bite ! I ordered lamb chops as my main dish with a side of fried shrimp and they were SOO flavorful !! My friend ordered catfish and grits and love her plate as well ! The team provided top tier service from start to finish ! read more

The food here is delicious! I'm so glad I came with family because it turned into a full-on mukbang we got to try a little bit of everything and left full and happy . I ordered the red beans and rice with a fried catfish on the side, so good! Perfectly seasoned and full of that slow-cooked flavor. My uncle had the sweet chili wings and a mimosa flight to share with the table. The wings had a little kick but weren't anything standout, and the mimosa flight wasn't my favorite you could barely taste the flavor, it was mostly champagne. But the seafood gumbo my sister ordered? EVERYONE at the table agreed it was GOOD. Flavorful, hearty, and done right. The real star of the show was the sweet potato stuffed beignets. They were rich, warm, and filled with that sweet potato goodness that hit just right. The bourbon sauce underneath took it to another level. We absolutely devoured them. My aunt loved them so much she went and bought more before her flight home I still think about those beignets. Can't wait to come back, whoadieee! read more

We had reservations and were seated quickly upon arrival, which was a great start. I really enjoyed the outdoor open-air seating--it added to the relaxed and comfortable vibe of the evening. For appetizers, we ordered the Chicken Cracklin, Street Corn Sweet Chili Wings, and the Seafood Spinach Dip. We enjoyed all of them, but the Chicken Cracklin was the clear favorite--everyone at the table raved about it! For entrees, my friend had the lamb chops and thoroughly enjoyed them. Two of us shared the Bienville, which featured a crispy, flaky (but not dry) fish served over flavorful crawfish étouffée and steamed rice--it was absolutely delicious. I also sampled the red beans and rice, which had great seasoning and depth of flavor. To top things off, I took home the sweet potato beignets--and they were still good the next day! Two in my group had the margarita flight and said it was really good. The food came out quickly, and our server was attentive throughout the meal. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely return. Great food, attentive service, and a well-rounded menu with something for everyone. read more

Went to Monday's on a Monday and fell in love. The ambiance first and foremost was "T". The thing that stood out to me first was the glass encompassed kitchen with a bird eye view to what's happening behind the scenes to make magic! What is meant by magic you asked.. sure I'll spill.. Yes ma'am the gumbo was fire.. this was my fourth restaurant tasting gumbo. It was the only one that did not fail my taste buds. The lamb chops and the loaded potatoes awe-mazing... and the catfish with fries uhm uhm good. The girl behind the bar that took my order to go was kind friendly and made me a drink that sat my ass down..nice pours! I'll give this a 10 out 10, would recommend! read more

Ronald was the server with the mostest he help out group of nine navigate the menu with great recommendations for signature dishes and allergy restrictions. His personality brought more flavor to the food. I had the crab fingers which were scrumptious. My lamb chops and grits were good however I wish the lamb chops were a little bigger. The grits were amazing. The ambience was fun and open. I do recommend this spot for sure. read more

I really do not want to leave a 2 star but it took 3 hours but the food is a 5 star once you get it! We ordered dang near the entire menu. Table for 18 of us and everything once it came out was on point- fresh - hot and good! We did make a reservation so not sure about what was goin on the back of the kitchen. They kept saying they needed to get caught up! Bartender was cool but still ensured each drink was made to perfection. Loved the birthday celebration at the end. By far the best benettes I have ever had in my life, they are made from sweet potatoes and coIme out in a dish that is soft and warm! Due to how amazing they where here, I did not order benettes for the rest of the trip! My main order was the seafood platter - did not disappoint! read more
