After traveling all day, we decided to sit outside on the patio. We had a fantastic waiter who took great care of us. They have an experienced bartender and a great signature cocktail list. Highly recommend any of the martinis. The charcuterie board was delicious as were all of our entrees. Highly recommend the New Orleans BBQ Shrimp! Bread pudding was divine. ***Brown butter rosemary fries - pass on these unless good plain fries are what you're looking for. I didn't taste a hint of brown butter or rosemary on the fries and their "maison sauce" was just ketchup.

The ambiance of this place was the best part of the experience - the Vessel is located in an old church building. I loved the vibes and it felt both classy and casual at the same time. We didn't have reservations on a Saturday night, but we were able to be seated as soon as we came in! We started with the hand cut fries and I found them to be delicious and fresh. Afterwards, I had the seafood pasta and it was great - appropriate balance of the pasta and seafood. We ended with the creme brule and it was perfect - it had the right amount of crunchiness at the top and was soft as soon as you broke into it. Overall, I had a great experience here and hope to try this place out for brunch in the future!

I stopped in at Down the Hatch to grab a beer and some wings a couple of Saturdays ago. It was…read moreearly (I am old, so day drinking is my time at bars these days) and I was the only person there besides the workers. There were 2 bartenders and a manager type who was pissed off because he had to come in and change a keg. He let everyone know he was pissed. I got some Black and Gold Wings which are Carolina mustard BBQ and some fries. The wings were cooked well but the sauce was just ok, to me they tasted more like honey mustard. The fries were the big steak fries which I am not a fan of but there were a lot of them. They were fine, I just like thinner fries. They have about 20 beers on tap, heavy on Abita brands. The menu is full of cool bar eats including things like Shawarma. I should have tried it. The inside is small and there is a courtyard out back. The bartender was friendly and service was fast.

Last time I was here, I remember it being great, but this visit was disappointing…read more We were a group of 8 and did AYCE. The sushi was okay, but a lot of the pieces had sriracha on them which overpowered the flavor. Not sure if that's standard, but it felt excessive. The biggest issue was the gnats. We killed about 7-8 at our table and even had one fly into my friend's water before asking to move tables. Also, my friend found bones in her salmon sushi. Overall, we left still feeling hungry and felt the quality didn't compare to other sushi spots nearby.

This was the worst dining experience my husband and I have had in New Orleans, and quite possibly…read moreever. We arrived on time for our 7:15 reservation and had informed the restaurant beforehand that we were celebrating a birthday. There was glitter on the table, which was a nice touch, but once we were seated and served water, we were promptly forgotten about. After waiting 15 minutes, someone finally came to take our drink orders. Another 15 minutes passed, and our drinks still had not arrived--and we still hadn't been given menus. Two different waiters came by and asked if we had already placed drink orders, and we explained that we were still waiting for them. It was unclear who our actual waiter was. Meanwhile, tables around us that had been seated after we arrived had already received their drinks and had their dinner orders taken. After 45 minutes, our drinks finally arrived, and we asked for dinner menus. By the time the menus arrived, we had been at the restaurant for 55 minutes without ever having the opportunity to order food. At that point, we asked for the check and left. The manager did apologize and offered to pay for our drinks, which we declined because we wanted to pay for what we had ordered. Overall, this was an extremely disappointing experience, especially for a fine-dining restaurant. We understand that restaurants can have an off night, but the lack of communication, attentiveness, and basic service throughout our visit was far beyond that. We will not be back to give it another try, and unfortunately, we would not recommend Gautreau's to anyone. New Orleans has so many wonderful fine-dining establishments where you can enjoy both excellent food and excellent service.

Tonight we went here to celebrate my birthday with family visiting from out of town, and…read moreunfortunately the experience was very disappointing overall. The service, however, was absolutely outstanding. The staff was attentive, kind, and took excellent care of us throughout the evening. Service: 10/10. Food reviews from our table: Glenn: Shared the lamb appetizer and felt it lacked flavor and was a very small portion. He also had the flounder, which he felt was a very small serving and only average in taste. He hated the bread. Overall rating: 5+/10, mostly because of the excellent service. Silvana. Had the flounder and felt it did not seem like flounder, was very thin, dry, and flavorless. The zucchini was good but extremely small--essentially one bite. Rating: 3/10. Stephen: Had the $40 redfish plate, which he felt looked more like a lunch portion. He thought the food itself was decent and rated it 6/10, but was disappointed by the size for the price and said he left still hungry. Me: I had the red snapper, which was actually a more reasonable portion than the others and tasted decent. I would rate it 7.0/10. I also sampled the other dishes and personally found the flounder to be very bland. The lamb appetizer, in my opinion, was the biggest disappointment of the evening and I would rate it 1/10. Overall experience for me 5/10. Overall, a rating of 5/10 (average between all 4 of us) mainly because of the services. While the service was excellent, the portions were surprisingly very small for a high-end restaurant and the food did not meet our expectations, especially for a birthday dinner we had been looking forward to with family visiting from out of town. We will not be going back.

I wish I could give Sushi By Us 1000 stars!!!…read more My daughter chose this spot to celebrate her 21st birthday, and her dad and I are so happy she did. It has a dark, mysterious feel, and I love the speakeasy-ish element. Great ambiance aside, I am much more interested in tasty food, and SBU absolutely delivered. Every single dish we had was delicious! The nigiri was so fresh! The sirloin fried rice was not only mouthwatering, but it was beautiful! The rolls were top tier, but next visit I think I'll skip them and choose a different entree because I'd like to eventually try the entire menu. I can't neglect to mention the amazing service we received. Chef's kiss! I can't wait to visit again.

Sushi by Us is definitely a place that knows how to make a first impression. The interior is…read morestylish and beautifully designed, making it easy to see why it's so popular on Instagram. That said, the photos make the space look MUCH larger than it actually is, it felt much smaller in person than I expected. As for the food, it was good, but not particularly memorable. We ordered three sushi rolls, and while they were fresh and enjoyable I've had better. The vegetable fried rice ended up being the surprise standout of the meal with great flavor and easily our favorite dish. I also tried the alligator, which unfortunately wasn't for me. The cocktails were well-made, flavorful, and definitely poured with a generous hand, so no complaints there. Overall, Sushi by Us feels more like a trendy, social media-friendly destination than the elevated dining experience I was hoping for. It's a fun spot if you're looking for a stylish atmosphere, creative cocktails, and a few great photos, but I wouldn't recommend it for serious foodies looking for an exceptional sushi experience. There are simply better options if the food is your main priority.

The Cocktails We actually chose Succotash specifically to follow the incredible Mixologist, Thomas. We've been fans since his time at Restaurant 34 in the CBD, and his cocktails remain the gold standard in the city. A Clever, Flavorful Menu One of the highlights of Succotash is their creatively worded and named menu items--it makes ordering as fun as eating! The kitchen is firing on all cylinders with dishes that taste even better than their witty names suggest: Deviled Offspring: I am still literally dreaming about these! Jacques: Colossal Louisiana shrimp that were truly "colossal" in flavor. TLC: Fried frog legs that were absolutely incredible. Pillow Talk: A stunning salad of burrata and roasted beets that was fresh and excellent. The Main Event For my entrée, I had the Three Scompany (love the name!). These three Japanese U10 scallops were cooked to absolute perfection with the texture of butter. I paired them with the Grilled Succotash, which was the ideal companion to the scallops. Verdict The staff is incredible, the Art Deco setting is gorgeous, and the food is the kind you dream about long after the meal is over. Succotash NOLA is a true gem!
