We visited on Saturday night of the final Jazz Fest weekend. Despite reserving weeks in advance, we were seated outdoors--but on a beautiful night, it worked out perfectly. The menu leans locally sourced with a French accent. Cocktails were excellent--especially the Agave Maria! Standouts included the duck confit, the salads (which are generous--definitely share), and the pecan-crusted fish of the day. Service was excellent throughout. All in, dinner for four came to about $450 including tip--and felt well worth it.

I returned yesterday after not visiting for about a year and had such a great experience. Between the service from Natalia and Savanah (5 stars!) Both were great. The drinks are always very good, and the food did not disappoint. The shrimp & grits were great, I loved the watermelon salad, and the crab cakes were full of flavor with lots of crab! I also think the 3-course brunch is a great option if you want to try a few different plates... only $45, which feels like a great deal nowadays. And you can't beat the location right across from City Park, so the views are nice too. I'd definitely recommend Ralph's!

I decided to check out a new place on my oyster crawl while in NOLA for a conference. This place…read morewas recommended by a friend and had pretty good happy hour specials, especially $1 raw oysters. The restaurant is a multi level house that has been converted. It has plenty of outdoor seating around the house as well as a patio off to the side. The first floor has a few small tables and there is another level above with seatign which I didn't venture. Aa a solo diner, I took my favorite seat in the house at the bar. I was tended to by Mike and he was great. Super friendly and attentive and he was happy to answer all my questions. I ended up ordering a dozen oysters as well as the oyster rockerfeller dip and it was to die for! The raw oysters were huge and the dip was super creamy. I did request they take the dip back and make it hotter and it was perfect. The bread that it came with was so fresh and flaky. It was a perfect pair! I washed everything down with some wine and a sparking wine cocktail. I was hoping to try some other items on the menu but I was TOO full. I will definitely be back.

We started with the oyster ceviche, and it ended up being the highlight of the entire meal. It was…read morefresh, bright, flavorful, and a great balance of citrus and seasoning. If you're only ordering one oyster dish here, this would be my recommendation. Next came the oyster sampler, which unfortunately didn't live up to the ceviche. We were excited to try all the different preparations, but most of them just missed the mark for us. The jerk oysters were our favorite, earning about a 5/10, while the rest fell somewhere below that. The toppings and sauces often overpowered the oysters instead of complementing them, and none of the combinations really made us want to order them again. Service was another downside. It was slower than expected, especially considering there weren't many customers during our visit. We weren't in a rush, but there were several moments where we found ourselves waiting longer than we should have. Overall, SeaWitch has a cool concept and the oyster ceviche was genuinely delicious, but the sampler and the slow service kept this from being a better experience. We'd come back for the ceviche, but we'd definitely pass on the sampler.

The decor is beautiful and the space is very large and great for large parties. I like that seating doesn't feel like you're on top of others that are dining. I also like the relaxing vibe and they played a great mix of music. We ordered drinks and started with some crispy brussels sprouts and candid pork ribs that was shared with the table. For my main dish, I had the shrimp linguine, and the Indigo French 75. For dessert, I had the Grand Marnier Tiramisu. My dessert was large enough for everyone to taste. All of us had only great things to say about our meals. And there was so much more that I would like to try in the future. Great vibes, delicious food, relaxing atmosphere and excellent service. You can't go wrong with Meril!

Made a reso in case it was busy and walked in with an empty restaurant and bar, which was delightful because other spots like Peche and Cochon were packed. But now we know why :( Bartender was the least friendly person I've encountered in all my trips to Nola. As a bartender myself, we all have bad days! But there's no excuse for improperly building/shaking a featured cocktail. I'd bet he was new to bartending all together and not just new to the restaurant. Ordered spicy margs that weren't shaken and therefore not properly diluted. The rim was nice and the dehydrated lime was lovely- based on the ingredients, it was designed to be a delicious balanced marg but with a shoddy make, it just didn't taste nice at all. We wanted to do a bunch of apps and drinks like we always do so even after the blah cocktails we still got the pineapple bacon cornbread cake. Delicious- warm, spicy and moist. But I just wanted to get out of there because the ambiance and vibe at the bar was so bad... too many other awesome spots with great staff and food to visit to spend more than a few mins at Meril :(

The red front door is the marker. Sorry for the lack of pictures, but we were so focused on the incredible food, we forgot to take food pics. Sorry. Look on Google. We go here every time we are in NOLA. The food is consistently excellent and it does not matter what you order. We have at least half the menu plus some specials and each time so happy. What makes the meal even more incredible is the servers. We seem to get a different one each time, so the show is different each time. When I say show, I mean the entertaining interaction you have with the staff. It's awesome. Not only do they know their menu, but also let their personalities run wild. The last guy actually served us dinner and grabbed a chair and told about his travels....like while we eating. Haha. So fun. The place isn't much and it doesn't need to be. It's a mush mash of art and paint and other stuff. AND IT ALL WORKS. it is comforting and interesting. All in all a great time and a great meal. A must go.....if you can find it. The red door!!!!

You go up a steep staircase to tell the guy you want a table and he says he'll call/text when it's available. The food was delicious... especially the entrees. We started with an appetizer of mussels. These were small so there wasn't really enough for us each to be satisfied. Someone thought they were slightly overcooked. We ordered the flounder special with ocean sauce. The double flounder was topped with shrimp and wow, the special cajun ocean sauce was delicious! They said they are known for it and it's understandable why. My kiddo ordered the veal (with ocean sauce) and it was perfectly tender and also delicious. We also ordered the chicken parmesan which was very good as well. It took a while for the food to get to us but given the level of expertise by the chefs, it totally made up for any delay. All of the entrees come with either salad or pasta which hits the spot and is coursed very well. There is a bar downstairs where they had live music which was nice but not exactly what we wanted to listen to. Glad we went to dinner there because of all the amazing flavors.

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!

The space itself is stunning, with a historic, elegant feel that makes the night feel a little extra special. The food? Amazing. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. We loved the mix of Southern comfort with a unique twist--definitely not your average dinner spot. Portions were generous, so it's perfect for sharing and trying a little bit of everything. The cocktails were just as impressive--crafted perfectly and a great complement to the meal. And the service really stood out--attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, Succotash is the kind of place that turns a simple dinner into a memorable night out. Whether it's a special occasion or just a much-needed date night, this spot is definitely worth it.

It feels like you're going to a dinner party at your down-to-earth Garden District friend's house. It's not a super large spot so, snag a reservation! The food: flavorful and delicious! The essence is home cooked meals with a refined aesthetic and bold flavors. My favorite of the night was hands down the curry shrimp...bursting with flavor! And truly, the price point is reasonable. The drinks: some of the most unique drink ideas I've seen! I mean, there's a cocktail that's infused with pho! I went with more classic mezcal and cognac drinks, and both were refreshing and strong. Yum! The staff: everyone was soo kind and personable! Our bartender Shannon was super skilled and cool...I highly recommend bar seating, lol.
