    Carmelized radishes
    Estee L.

    Yum! We we're lucky enough to get a few spots at the bar without having a reservation. These spots come with dinner and a show. The show is that the kitchen is right there and you watch them making every delicious thing you're about to eat. I was with two friends and we shared five appetizers and a dessert. This was a perfect strategy. We had the squid ink pasta, which was with shrimp and phenomenal. For veggies, we have the local lettuce salad, carmelized radishes, and the carrots, which had these candied hazelnuts that I'm still dreaming about. The arancini has short rib and cheese in it, a giant ball of delight. And we had the brownie for dessert that had incredible coconut crunch ice cream with toffee chips. The cocktails and the wine were enjoyable as well. Shout out to Otto for taking great care of us!

    Paladar 511 continues to live up to the hype, and the pappardelle is a standout dish that keeps me coming back. The pasta was perfectly cooked! Every bite felt intentional and balanced. I love the atmosphere. It's warm, intimate and cozy. Perfect for a date night! If you're dining at Paladar 511 and love pasta, the pappardelle is a must-order.

    We celebrated my birthday and our anniversary here and were very happy with our experience. There was a good wine list and fun cocktails available. We LOVED the squid ink spaghetti and shared it for our starter. We also shared a pizza and pappardelle and loved both. We sat upstairs and had a great time viewing the drinks and food being made and seeing what other parties were ordering. The service was great and we would definitely go back!

    A plus Sunday brunch. A plus service. A plus atmosphere, only downside being a cacophony of diner voices off the hardwood ceiling creates a din of noise which, if you're 40 or younger, is not a problem for conversation. I'm 62 and I could still hear my friend so it's not overwhelming. And we were upstairs so it was likely louder up there. Acoustic baffles would eliminate this problem. The standout feature here is that the sinks are outside the restrooms. That peer pressure (talking men, here) has to promote handwashing and more thorough handwashing among staff and diners better than a sign that says "all staff must wash hands when leaving restroom."

    Service was great and the food was delicious. I tried a couple of their signature cocktails and enjoyed them both. I liked the Bad Mr Jive more than the Swarm and Sting. The pasta was perfectly cooked and everything had exceptional flavor.

    Oh I just love this place so much. Coming here after a wine tasting at Grand Krewe next door is my favorite. Their pasta is so delicious but honestly everything is. Their pizzas are great for a sharing app with the table. I kinda want to order the arrincini every single time. Last time we had slow service which was unusual. The ambiance is really nice too!

    Though I've had the opportunity to visit Paladar 511 many times for dinner (excellent!)... I finally had the chance to attend brunch for my birthday :) The food at brunch definitely didn't disappoint. The service was good as always & the ambiance is always such a vibe. Love the open kitchen concept, the windows, the art & books-- it's very cozy in there! I'd definitely be back for brunch. Every entrée was honestly good (had a try of them all!)

    Get the squid ink spaghetti, get the squid ink spaghetti, get the squid ink spaghetti...and the pizza! Dispute a rocky start, everything...and I mean everything we experienced here was worth every penny! We arrived after walking in the pouring rain (it was just a few blocks we said...it'll be easy we said *eye rolls*) to be met with a few strange passing glances, and an usher to get us seated quickly. Once seated, our waiter was fabulous. They truly knew the menu, and their knowledge alone helped us understand how we could craft the perfect birthday experience for my mother. I ended up with a Ponchatoula Plane, the seasonal watermelon starter, the squid ink pasta, and a chocolate cake. My mother indulged in the same, but opted for pizza instead of pasta. Described as the best thing on the menu by our waiter, I highly encourage trying the squid ink pasta as an entree (as opposed to a starter). Trust me, you won't want to share. Additionally, it's been a month, and my mother still references their chocolate cake. They frost the cake when warm, so although it doesn't look like much, it's a decadent take on a traditional treat. Whatever you choose, it's hard to go wrong here. It's certainly a stop I'll be adding to my permanent NOLA rotation!

    Oh the food here was really great, the squash is an incredible dish and the crispy chickpeas add so much to it. The squid ink pasta does NOT stain your tongue and was delicious. The mushroom pizza was pretty good too, but not the standout. Only complaint is that I was the portions were bigger, if you're going to share meals then be prepared to only have a bite or two of each thing.

    The restaurant interior feels like vacation. Gorgeous brick walls and beautiful wood, high ceilings and tasteful lighting and colors. The ambiance is excellent and the wait staff attentive and helpful. The cocktails are refreshing and beautiful The ensalada tre colorí has potential, but must have been low on the anchovi as flavor was mellow The Hamachi crudo was phenomenal. So fresh, cut perfectly and the sauce... just wow Pappardelle had potential if only the seemingly house made noodles had been drained properly The seared snapper seemed deep fried. The sauce was good. The peach angel food cake was fresh and delicious. The mascarpone ice cream was 5/5

    Squid Ink Spaghetti

    I've been here twice and it's been good to great! The spaghetti was a 13/10. I dream about this spaghetti. The lamb pizza is out of this world good and the char on the crust is to die for, not pictured because we inhaled it. The squash pasta was good. I was not a highlight, but it was good. The dessert was the star the cinnamon ice cream is like nothing I've ever tried. I'd come back again and again for the pizza, spaghetti, and the dessert!

    Been wanting to try this place for a while and it did not disappoint!! Make a reservation pretty far in advance as they book up fast. We had a reservation at 5:30pm on a Friday and it was packed from the moment we walked in until we left. The restaurant is in the Marigny and the atmoshere inside is great. Our server was very sweet. We had a lot of questions about the menu and she was super helpful to answer all of them. We tried alot of different things, and honestly didn't have any complaints about a single thing we ordered. If anything, GET THE SQUID INK PASTA. It was incredible. Only thing to note is the portions aren't huge. However, we loved trying everything and were so satisfied.

    The food was very good, it has a very nice atmosphere. The host was dismissive. The waitress was ok but not super friendly either. Would get 5* if service measures up.

    Ask the Community - Paladar 511

    Do they allow walk-ins for parties of two or do they always require a reservation?

    I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine they wouldn't accept 2 people walking in if there was space.

    What to wear?

    Hoodies and sweats to ball gowns and feathers. This super trendy eclectic surrounding screams “be yourself and enjoy our great food!”

    Are there many vegetarian options?

    Yes

    Was a very busy night and we walked in for a party of 7. I understand that it's crowded and busy,…read moreso we were very patient and respectful. We saw on the menu that checks could not be split, which was fine even though split would be preferable to us. So, when our server told us the check can't be split but she can "take multiple cards" I was a bit confused and asked if she could explain more since that's what we might do, since she said it was possible. Already there she gave attitude and said I don't know how else to explain it to you in a rude tone. After we finished our food, we asked her to take multiple cards for the check and she told us to write on the back what to charge each card. I apologize that I did misunderstand what she meant, and put the items rather than the exact amount to charge each card. She came back and said, "you did exactly what I said not to do." So I said sorry and was in the midst of redoing it by calculating when she just snatched it from me and said she'll just do it. I had no problem doing it nor did we complain even once. After a while, understandably, she came back and basically scolded us, saying what if she was busy she wouldn't have been able to do this....but she said she could do it in the first place! We understood from the get go no split checks but then she gave the option of multiple cards so obviously we took it. The food was good and the ambience was nice. I enjoyed the open kitchen concept and seeing the pizza oven. But the service ruined it for me. I work the food industry and would have never acted this way. Nevertheless, I would come again but would not want that server.
