I honestly would probably enjoy coming here by myself as well. The burger and hush puppies are to diee for AND they were serving up my favorite oysters-- murder points. They didn't serve them with crackers, but I also didn't ask for any-- they did have a delicious vinaigrette shallot mixture to put on top though. On top of all that delicious food, Alex provided exceptional service and made some amazing drinks. I tried the fig old-fashioned and I highly recommend. My friend had the gin and tonic, which was also really good and very refreshing. I can't wait to come back, try more tasty foods/drinks, and enjoy the lovely atmosphere.

The good : The food…read morewas all just incredible. I did not realize what gnocchi was actually supposed to be like until I ate it in masterpiece form. The overall vibe/decor is dramatic and appealing. If you are a group of rich girls who are eating before they go out drinking or a dude trying hard to impress a date, this is the spot. The eh: It's $$$. I probably didn't look into this aspect well enough so my shock at the menu/check was probably on me. Portions are a bit confusing. Poutine was huge - like Mexican Nachos size huge. Hamburger also. But 2 deviled eggs, a tiny 9$ miniature loaf of bread were confusing in contrast. We had two mixed drinks. Gin and tonic was fine, but the 17$ espresso martini was hilariously undrinkably unpleasant. Less like espresso, more like donut shop coffee. Now, I love some indirect lighting. It creates interesting and compelling spaces with mood and a bit of mystery- But y'all - this is just the darkest restaurant (or lounge or whatever) I have ever eaten in. There is so little light that you literally cannot read the menu without using the flashlight on your phone. It is spelunking levels of darkness in there. I had to ask the server for more of the tiny tabletop candles just so we could see each other. The music is also very loud. Which would make sense if there was a dance floor or some reason for it. It is a place where what you do is drink and eat (in the dark) and talk to each other. The design of the restaurant itself seems at odds with the two things it aims to provide.

No music, no food service, or anything that shows that tried to create a nice vibe. It's literally just some chairs on the rooftop. The bar has a bartender, not mixologist, who makes drinks that I can make better at home. The little drinks are served un-garnished in tiny plastic cups and cost $15+. Not to mention they will take whatever tip amount they like out if you forget to close your tab. So my basic plastic cup of lemon, sugar, and a splash of vodka (I can't even call it a lemon drop) was $20. I wish I had taken a photo of how tiny the cups are.

Really disappointing experience…read more Vue honestly felt pretty bare bones to me. Yes, I learned some things about the culture and people of New Orleans and I got a few good pictures but I wouldn't recommend this at all. I was hoping to get a picture with my sister as indicated on the website but I didn't see anyone offer that or see it as an option once we made it there. I thought the mini story in the elevator was fun, short of course but they need to restructure this place I honestly was unimpressed. The website suggest it takes an hour and a half to experience the whole place, we walked the whole place, took pictures, watched 2 videos in well under an hour and a half. The employees were very nice and helpful; maybe I expected to much of Vue but I say temper your expectations.

The Vintage - New Orleans, LA…read more The Vintage on Magazine Street was our very first food stop in New Orleans, and it turned out to be a great way for my wife and me to start our trip. From the moment we walked in, I really liked the atmosphere. The place has a cool, relaxed New Orleans vibe with a little bit of an upscale café feel without being overly fancy. It's the kind of spot where you can come in, sit down, enjoy some good food and drinks, and just take your time. Of course, we couldn't come to New Orleans and not start things off with beignets! We decided to go with the Fancy Beignet Flight, which gave us a chance to try several different flavors. We got the raspberry, s'mores, and Chantilly. They came out looking almost too good to eat, covered in powdered sugar with all the different fillings and toppings. Almost... because we definitely ate them! They were warm, sweet, messy in the best possible way, and a fun introduction to our New Orleans food adventure. For my meal, I ordered the Italian Panini with the truffle Parmesan fries. The sandwich was packed with meat, cheese, and flavor. Looking at that cross-section, they definitely weren't being stingy with the fillings! The bread was toasted nicely, and everything worked well together. The truffle fries were another highlight. They had plenty of seasoning and Parmesan and paired perfectly with the sandwich. I also grabbed a small iced mocha, which went really well with the food and especially the beignets. One thing I really enjoyed about The Vintage was the atmosphere. The interior has a lot of character, from the marble tables and vintage-style flooring to the bar and pastry display. It feels like a place that belongs on Magazine Street. It was comfortable enough that we didn't feel rushed and could just enjoy being in New Orleans together. The service was good during our visit, and everything came together for a really enjoyable first meal in the city. Our bill came to around $48 after tax and tip for the two of us, and considering we had a sandwich, upgraded fries, drinks, and the beignet flight, I thought it was a good experience for the money. Most importantly, this place gave my wife and me a great start to our New Orleans trip. When your first stop includes a loaded Italian panini, truffle Parmesan fries, iced coffee, and a whole flight of beignets, you know the trip is starting off right! Definitely a place I would visit again. Great food, great atmosphere, and a great first taste of New Orleans. 5 stars from us!

Still a New Orleans Gem - Visitor since 2018!…read more I'm updating my review as of April 2026 because it's important for visitors to know that The Vintage has absolutely "still got it." My last review was in 2020, and I'm happy to report that the quality and atmosphere remain top notch. Whether you are looking for a morning pick up or an evening wind-down, this spot covers all the bases. Their beignets and coffee are a classic must have, and I can personally vouch for their Americano. It is consistently well made and delicious. They also have a great selection of beer and cocktails if you're looking for something a bit stronger. What really sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. We have always had great interactions with the staff, but a special shout out goes to Jimmy, whom we met this past week. He was incredibly kind and hospitable, truly making us feel right at home. Jimmy if you are reading this, THANK YOU!! If you want a spot that feels authentic, welcoming, and consistently excellent, put The Vintage at the top of your list!

This is known by many as a "cursed location" as so many different businesses have failed here. My recent visit to the new location of Milan Lounge did not give me much confidence that they will survive long. I attempted to order a beer and they ONLY had 5 beers left... All of the 5 remaining beers were light beers and I don't waste my time with those so I had to leave to find my real beer elsewhere. Really sad to to see another long time NOLA institution going down the painful path to becoming another Ain't Dere No More addition...

Admittedly, I have other regular stops these days, not for a lack of love or anything, these things happen. But Bar Tonique is a forever favorite, a worthwhile stop before a concert at the Saenger. The best place to stop, along with the Black Penny, on Rampart if you want a good cocktail. We stopped in on a hot Sunday late afternoon. What a refuge! The bar had plenty of seats, and the people in there were a nice mix of locals and cool tourists that don't want to spend their drinking day on Bourbon Street. Drinks are so fairly priced. In a time when cocktails are upwards of 20 bucks even in NOLA, it's nice to see theirs cost considerably less and they have a solid HH with $8 cocktails (rotating specials). Not BS beer and a shot or well drinks, but actual expertly-mixed drinks. And frozen Ramos Gin Fizzes if that's your thing (not mine but I get it).
