Food was incredible! The ambiance is great. We didn't want to dress up for dinner because we were just staying in New Orleans for the night. This was the perfect mix of casual but with 5 star food. The crab cake and shrimp Alfredo was the best Alfredo I've ever had. read more

The food and service here was outstanding. I ate their Seafood Tower dish as the main meal and it was delicious and it was large enough to split with my wife. The Crab, Shrimp & Corn Bisque was as good as my wife's which is saying a lot!!! I will definitely return. read more

One of the best meals my wife and have eaten in a long time. The restaurant is very nicely decorated with typical southern charm. Big beautiful chandeliers, comfortable seating and an open kitchen all adds to a great dining experience. Our server was very help providing suggestions for both non-seafood for my wife and seafood for myself as well as appetizers. She explained her reasoning for her suggestions and definitely sold us on our meal selection. The food was all brought out very quickly and piping hot and our drinks never got close to empty which is great service. As for the food, it was all tremendous. We started with the fried green tomatoes with shrimp. The tomatoes were hot and crispy but not over cooked as the tomato itself was still nice and firm. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and had a really nice sauce. My wife had the pasta with chicken. The pasta is cooked table side which is a cool experience, and the chicken came out screaming hot from the kitchen. She absolutely loved the entire dish as the pasta was not overly sauced and was very smooth and the chicken was not overly cooked and seasoned well. I had the seafood tower which has shrimp, fish and a crab cake. There is an eggplant component and a nice bed of crawfish cream sauce which was absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and it was one of the best meals ever. Definitely would recommend. read more

Wow! Our server Slade was so attentive and the food was ah-maz-ing. My daughter is new to new orleans style food, and was really unsure about the Étouffée. Slade walked her through what it was, and even offered to swap out for something different if she didn't like it. The po boy was absolutely awesome. Huge portions. Make a reservation. Thank you OTIS TEAM! read more

I stopped at Otis for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised! It's a newer spot and it was a weekday afternoon so it was not very busy. The service was great from the hostess, to my sever, and the manager. I ordered the Caesar salad with shrimp, the crab cakes and a Bloody Mary without the alcohol. It was a perfect lunch! read more

Omg!! We chose this place because they had good reviews on Yelp. Little did we know that we were in for a culinary experience. I had the chicken and sausage gumbo, and my husband had the crab shrimp and corn bisque. We shared the surf and turf. We are from Louisiana, so we know a good gumbo when we taste it. This was the only place in New Orleans where after tasting the gumbo I said this is delicious. My husband said the same about his bisque. The steak in the surf and turf dish was cooked perfectly, it was so tender! The brussel sprouts were incredible, Sweet and crisp. And, the mashed potatoes were so fluffy and creamy. When we come back to New Orleans, we're definitely going to patron this establishment again. read more

Come here to eat!! Just do it. Super chill vibe, excellent cocktails and really great food. We ended up here by happenstance and I will definitely return any time we're back in NOLA. I had the Bourbon Blackberry cocktail. You could taste the Bourbon and it wasn't that sweet. Great flavor profile We had the Fried Alligator and Calamari. Both were well seasoned and fried to perfection with a tasty dipping sauce. Yumm! The alligator wasn't tough at all and really tasty. I had a bowl of the crab, shrimp and corn bisque which was larger than I could finish. Sweet corn, tender shrimp and great balance of flavor. My husband had the most epic plate of fried catfish. That plate of catfish could have fed a small army. It was so well cooked and delish. Highly recommend!! The owner shared that the restaurant is named after a cook he used to work with who couldn't be found after Hurricane Katrina. Don't miss out on this restaurant. Oh and shout out to Martine for taking care of us! We'll be back! read more

Went there for mid day lunch and it was awesome!! The char-grilled oysters and service all around was amazing so much so we back for an our last meal in New Orleans. The dinner was MUCH dinner. Oysters were okay but service was lacking despite plenty of staff. There was a smaller crowd and lunch but the restaurant was about 1/2 full at dinner. The cheese wheel pasta was awful. It came late to our table and was "cooked" in 2 minutes. Parmesan chunks in pasta water mixed with noodles on top of bread (?). The shrimp was served on the side and burned on the the hot serving plate. Decide for yourself if it's worth checking out. read more

What a fabulous experience! We came here on our recent trip to NOLA and absolutely loved the food, the service, and the overall vibe. We popped in to watch the NBA finals, and we got so much more! Special shoutout to Bryce for making our visit so memorable! read more

First thing to mention is our Server Martine. She was phenomenal and very informative on the menu and helped us pick our drinks. We had the Char grill oysters as our starter. I am not a fan of oysters but these were delicious and packed with flavor! My wife and I chose the table side parmesan wheel with steak and shrimp. The shrimp was fresh and full of great flavor and seasoning! My steak was properly cooked and beyond worth the price for the taste. The restaurant is a corner place but very clean and well decorated. It sets the mood for a great date night or casual night with friends. I recommend it for sure. read more

The chargrilled oysters and oysters Rockefeller are the best I have ever had. We shared the crab cake / shrimp Alfredo, and I wish I had a bigger stomach. Frankie, Byron and Kesha went out of their way to make the dining experience enjoyable. read more

We stopped by for apps and drinks before hitting Bourbon St. the waitress was very friendly and the food very well presented. I wanted to stick around for the whole snapper entree but the group had other plans. The only complaint I have is the very weak pour on my glass of wine. It was also warmer than expected for a Sauvignon Blanc. read more

So I'm walking around killing time waiting for Mom, and I happen to stumble upon this little bar. I had to stop because the reason I'm down here is to get a tattoo and go to a graduation party. Then I find this cute restaurant that's paying homage to a chef pre-Katrina named Otis, and I just had to stop in. Shout out to the bartender Felicia the service was fantastic!! read more

If you're in downtown New Orleans hungry and don't try this place, you're missing out. It has all the normal food choices you would expect to find in the area, but a host of other items as well. We definitely went a little overboard in the ordering, but there was too much good food not to try things. I had the braised short rib which is tight contention with the best I've ever had. It came with Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. Brussels were flavorful and the mashed potatoes rich! Dint eat much of potatoes due to the fact we ordered table side Parmesan pasta. For those not familial that's where the big wheel of cheese comes tableside and they light some alcohol on fire to start the melting of the cheese, then add freshly cooked pasta to finish the sauce making. That could have easily been a meal as it comes with your choice of meat. We got the chicken and might have been the best grilled chicken I've ever had in my life. My wife had pork chops with creamed spinach and mashed potatoes as well. On top of the pork chops was some type of apple sauce that just takes it over the top. Chops were tender and juicy as well. She liked the spinach but it's not my thing so I didn't try it. Now let's talk about the staff. Our waitress Melody was incredibly attentive, very personable, and quick to get answers to anything she didn't already know. Amazing. The owner Freddie was on hand managing the tableside pasta setup. Very friendly and took time out just to chat with us for a minute even after the pasta was done. No doubt a great guy to work for given the interactions we saw between him and the other employees. Again, amazing. Even the bartender buzzed by the table to see how we liked our Giblet drinks! It's no doubt that the culture of this restraint revolves around the customer experience. Do yourself a favor and go. Immediately. read more

Everything was great! Service sitting at the bar. French 75 and dirty martini. Crab cake!! Étouffe and chowder. Would definitely come back!

Excellent new restaurant @ corner of Iberville & Chartres. It is refreshing, all the folks from the front desk to waitstaff, bartenders and management go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The food is superb. The chicken & andouille gumbo is on point, the fried green tomatoes app is a meal in itself. The soft shelled crab is sublime. My new obsession...You will not be disappointed. read more

Service is good. Had the pasta wheel, be prepared for a lot of cheese. Cheesy bread on the bottom and gobs of cheese in pasta. 80% cheese 20% pasta had to fish the pasta out. The bottom of the plate a greasy soup of butter and oil. Shrimp served on the side and well seasoned. read more

Possibly my new favorite restaurant in the city! We went here tonight for the first time. For drinks, my husband got the spicy pineapple margarita and I got the rum punch. Both were great and strong. For appetizers, we got the creole oysters and the BBQ shrimp. Oysters were amazing and so were the shrimp, the grits underneath the shrimp were incredible too. Then... the star of the show, we got the pasta wheel. I'm afraid I'll never shut up about how good that pasta is. Get it, you won't regret it. It was clear how much love and care has gone into this restaurant and I can't wait to go back! If you're a tourist and you're reading this review, take this as a sign. Don't be caught in a tourist trap. Try somewhere that even has a local stunned by how good it is :) read more

Wow. Best restaurant experience I have ever had in NOLA. I am not local btw. Food was so amazing for everyone. The space was high end and on another level from anything else in the French Quarter. Our server , Shelly, was so energetic and welcoming and just plain great. read more

Our wine and beer came out at the same time as the food. I think they were forgotten about, that's ok we are on vacation. Also, the food was ready just that fast. We got the food very fast. We ordered the shrimp and catfish platter and the oyster po boy. I loved the po boy and the hush puppies on the platter were perfect. Otherwise always hard to rate fried platters, but they were good, still had seafood flavor, wasn't over fried, catfish was cooked well. Nice little spot. Cons, it did feel a little pretentious which I think is a wild choice for any restaurant in an area off of " bourbon street " where I can walk out the door with a drink in my hand. Couldn't sit where we asked in a restaurant that wasn't even half full and never got any busier. I think had it been busier I would've understood. I guess it is newer and it ran like a newer restaurant so grace given there. All in all, I would recommend this place to others. Good food, good options/choices for everyone, and good flavors. read more
