The second to last time me and my partner went, the inexperienced bartender said "what do you guys want" as we walked in, 3 ft. away from the bar before we even sat down. My partner wanted to give it another chance tonight....we walk in at 9:45 pm, the bar is empty aside from one patron, and the bartender says "oh no! There's people." We abruptly turn around and go to Mayfair's down the road, where we know we're welcome. It's a shame. Really cool spot if the bartenders were bartenders.

Dive bar vibe is the feels. String lights, old creaky floors, big bay window, lots of outdoor seats, plenty of bar for us all! Total NOLA vibe! Bartenders were cool. I got a bit inebriated twice here and ate here once. Love that I could just walk back to my swanky hotel. Solid choice, C! Check out Hotel Henrietta if you are nearby. I asked the guy behind the what he recommended. Instantly he said "the mussels". You don't have to say another word, bruh. I had the mussels for my meal, obviously. Wow. They were perfect. The sauce was amazing, not sure what the white shit was, don't partake in that mess. The mussels were expertly cooked and seemed really fresh. The hand cut fries were also really good. I loved this meal and this joint! If I were local, I'd be a regular for sure. Get your ass in here if you can. I would advise getting the mussels. 100% '26 - 95

This is known by many as a "cursed location" as so many different businesses have failed here. My recent visit to the new location of Milan Lounge did not give me much confidence that they will survive long. I attempted to order a beer and they ONLY had 5 beers left... All of the 5 remaining beers were light beers and I don't waste my time with those so I had to leave to find my real beer elsewhere. Really sad to to see another long time NOLA institution going down the painful path to becoming another Ain't Dere No More addition... I hope they find a way but most people that know more things than me have little faith it can continue...

Great to see this place back to its original vibe--another solid save by Dickie Brennan…read more The menu is extensive, but the real draw is the oyster station. We went late on the final Sunday of Jazz Fest, so it was a bit quieter than expected, which made for a relaxed experience. The standout of the night was the raw oysters--big, classic Louisiana oysters at a very reasonable $2.33 each. We've come to prefer the flavor of smaller New England oysters, but at $3-$3.50 each, these were a great value. For entrées, we had three fish dishes and a veal piccata--the latter was the only miss. Overall, we had a very enjoyable evening. Total for four, including tip, came to about $310. Definitely worth a visit--this is a true New Orleans institution.

I really wanted to love Pascal's Manale. We had heard so many great things about this New Orleans…read morestaple, but unfortunately our experience fell well short of expectations. We did have a late 9:30 reservation, and while I understand we were dining close to closing, if a restaurant accepts the reservation, I still think the same standards should apply. There were definitely some highlights. The crab cake was phenomenal, my crab stuffed fish was delicious, and our server was incredibly kind and gracious throughout the evening. Unfortunately, there were just too many misses to overlook. The meatballs arrived in a chipped dish with a long hair in them. Several of the cocktails were disappointing, and while my fish was great, the vegetables were lukewarm and lacked flavor. The crab pasta was extremely bland and watery with very little noticeable crab meat. The most uncomfortable moment was the chicken Parmesan. Some of the cheese stuck to the server's napkin while he was placing the plate down. He pulled it off the napkin and put it back onto the entrée. My friend tried to eat some of it, but ultimately didn't feel comfortable and left most of it behind. We actually stopped mentioning issues because we felt terrible continuing to complain, especially since our server was so nice. To their credit, they removed the pasta and cocktails from our bill and brought us complimentary desserts. The bread pudding and ice cream were delightful and we genuinely appreciated the gesture. I love the historic, old school character of the restaurant, but there was also a noticeable sour smell throughout the space that took away from the charm. Perhaps we just caught them on a bad night, but for a restaurant with such a longstanding reputation, there were too many shortcomings to ignore. I appreciate the hospitality and their attempts to make things right. I just wish the overall experience had lived up to everything we had heard. I also want to mention that a manager never touched our table. I'm almost certain I saw him multiple times sitting while on his cell phone. As a hospitality professional, this shocked me. With so many glitches I expected an apology or check in for the lapse in service.
