    Flatbread
    Mike M.

    Tried the flatbread as a mid day snack while in New Orleans. It was good, and the bar is located in a beautiful hotel lobby inside the Sheraton hotel. Service was quick and server was very helpful with her recommendations.

    This bar is in the front lobby of the Sheraton and it gets a lot of foot traffic off Canal Street. The Bistro on the 2nd floor serves breakfast only now, so if hotel guests or others want to order food, they have to do it here. I was working and needed something quickly. I settled on their gumbo to go. It came in a small plastic container with crackers for $13. A bit pricey for the portion, but tasty. It had andouille sausage, chicken and crab. The bar itself is big and has ample seating all around, in addition to big screen tvs and nice artwork. Haven't tried the drinks yet but they always seem to have guests. Great location for it.

    I walked by this place earlier in the day, it was very busy. Brightly colored décor, good energy when you walk in. Cheeseburger with fries Ordered medium rare, came medium. The fries were the highlight, they were dusted with something good. The food came out hot. Cobb salad Came with packaged dressing, common man, we are not at Habit Burgers. Our waiter was attentive but had no pulse, like he was sleepwalking. Does this guy work 3 jobs? I would give a 3.5 but I can't, does not deserve a 4.

    Shrimp and Grits

    Didn't want to go out in town so decided to dine here. All the tables were a mess. Single server was trying to make things happen, but really couldn't keep up. She began clearing the table, walked away for awhile then came back to take our order without clearing it. I asked that she clean the table before ordering. Food and drinks took a long time. Gumbo was small but great. Shrimp and grits were so, so. Overpriced and underwhelming.

    Fun experience. Gets crowded and food menu is limited. Good hotel bay. Staff is helpful. Only issue is that for happy hour, they have one specialty drink. I went in and ordered it and the bartender stated they were out. Shoudn't I be able to order another drink for happy hour if they run out?

    This bar is located at the Sheraton on Canal Street. It is situated smack dab in the middle of the lobby, with plenty of comfortable seating around the bar and plenty of tables. I've done Bourbon, Frenchmen and all that other jazz, but these days, I don't mind sitting at the hotel bar and enjoying cocktails with my friends. What started off as a plan on having a beer while we waited on our friends to head to Bourbon, ended up spending about 6 hours here. The bartenders were excellent and made us authentic New Orleans favorites like a Hurricane and Pimms Cup, not the sugary drinks you get on Bourbon. We also sampled some local beers as well. After ordering my first drink, the bartended placed a brown baggie with Zapps voodoo chips. It was a nice little snack while drinking beer. They have Tv's and will change it to whatever you want to watch if you ask. They also have two giant screens on both sides of the lobby. We ended up coming here before heading out all the other days we were in New Orleans. I would book at the hotel again specifically because of the cool bar.

    Cajun wings
    Dominique M.

    While looking for a tourist attraction that peaked our interest, my friends & I sat down in the Sheraton hotel lobby for a drink. The very cute & modern menu included both food & beverages, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I ordered a berry mojito ($13) & the Cajun wings ($13). My mojito was refreshing & tasty without being too weak or too strong. The wings were just the right amount of spice. Fried naked & tossed in a lovely Cajun sauce with ranch & blue cheese for dipping. I feel as though the wings were overpriced to not have come with a side but at the same time I'm not surprised with the bar being located inside the hotel. I would return for another drink or to try the cheesecake I have seen so many reviews about.

    The Pelican Bar is located in the lobby of the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel. It takes up about 2/3 of the downstairs. I probably would not have patronized the bar but for the free drink coupons that the front desk offered me. So on one evening before dinner we met at the bar and had drinks and a slice of cheesecake. My Bloody Mary was good, they give you a bag of Zapps Voodoo Potato Chips with your drinks so you can drink more. The cheese cake was awesome. The bar itself is cavernous and the couple of servers walk a mile just to get to the tables from the actual bar. Without the coupons, however the drinks are pricy.

On a previous trip we had seen an evening show at Snug Harbor and wanted to experience something else. We had read good things about the Spotted Cat and their sets run all afternoon. We were a little confused about price because one of our guidebooks said there is no cover but you're supposed to order drinks. There was a doorman who charged us something like $5 each (still cheap!) and we ordered beer and a N/A drink at the bar and listened to a great jazz group playing old-time jazz. Interior is tiny and you're pretty close to the performers. We were standing at first but eventually found some seats as people left. There is even a back courtyard if you want to be outside, although I don't know if you can hear the music or not. We bought a CD from the band and enjoyed it when we got back home. All in all, a great New Orleans experience.

Overall had a nice time enjoying the music!

Whether sitting at the bar, or in one of the many lounge chairs on the opposite wall, every seat is an excellent. While I knew of the drink French 75, on the bar menu it was offered with either gin or cognac. I decided to try the cognac and so glad I did. Perfectly delicious! It turns out that drink is actually a French 125, so I learned something new that night. Great spot with a great vibe.

While the Sazerac wasn't invented here, this is arguably its most iconic home, a place where New Orleans cocktail history comes to life. I would use this version as your gold standard when dining out in New Orleans and looking for a perfect Sazerac. We enjoyed watching bartender Rachel craft each drink. Rye whiskey, Peychaud's Bitters, and sugar are stirred in a small pitcher with ice. The serving glass is chilled, then emptied, and finished with an absinthe rinse along the rim. The cocktail is strained into the glass and topped with a lemon peel. The atmosphere makes the experience even better. The murals, the history, and the energy of the room give it a sense of occasion that you do not get at most bars. We had such a great time sitting at the bar that my wife and I each finished two and a half Sazeracs, which tells you everything you need to know.

The presentation of the food came was amazing. We ordered the linguine and added meatballs, which was well worth it. We also ordered the shrimp & grits, which included Brussels sprouts. Boy, it was sure nice to get some vegetables in my stomach after eating all that yummy fried food during our stay! All in all, both dishes were delicious. It is a little on the pricey side, but after several days of eating in the touristy area of the French Quarter, this was truly a welcome change. Service was polite and attentive. I always appreciate the staff's efforts by making simply making eye contact and smiling (which they did). Seems trivial but I think those small things says a lot about a business. I would recommend this restaurant even if you are not a guest of the hotel.

The ambiance is amazing, plus velvet, emerald and sapphire tone, glitzy, and feels like a good photo op. The bar and cocktail menu looked expansive. However, I was going to be hopping on a meeting, so I could not partake, unfortunately. A group got this impressive tower of espresso martini and everyone seemed to be enjoying their drinks! I wanted that New Orleans seafood but had late lunch, so I opted for just the crispy gulf shrimp on cheesy grits. I really wished I can hungrier because the dish ended up being very heavy. The shrimp were nice and crispy. The charred Brussels sprouts gave me the false sense that this was a healthy dish because I was getting my veggie intake. The bacon jam was sweet and went well with the Brussels sprouts. I loved the combination of the cheesy grits and the Crystal hot sauce. It was the perfect amount of both and some how led me to understand why Americans put hot sauce on their Mac n cheese and some other cheesy dishes after 30 years of not really understanding the attraction to that combo. I got the marinated olives to go so I could have a little snack later. They were just stuff I feel I could get in a jar... not really sure if I could justify the price. I think this is a fine place if you're looking for a photogenic night out drinking with a group of friends. Could be really cute for brunch!
