Hot damn. Barb was kind of loud a little loud to have a good intimate conversation And I was prepared to be not all that impressed I didn't really look at the menu. I asked the bartender what the best seafood dinner was. He said the swordfish So that's what I had to see my picture I was absolutely fantastic It was a curry, sauce with herbs and tomatoes with spiced blackened swordfish, large fillet on top Their house, Piñot was the best house wine I've had in years Very nice, smooth wine The service from the young man was absolutely fantastic and attentive before a wine glass was empty. They were offering a refill. Ambience is not my style. It's a bit business like with modern sports tvs all over. But the food is fantastic and it's all about the food. read more

Despite forgetting my order, this was a very nice sports bar to enjoy after a long day at the New Orleans Book Festival at Tulane University. The hotel was the host hotel for the authors. Nice to be able to chat with a few at the hotel. The mushroom flatbread was delicious. Sat at the bar and talked to a friend while waiting for our order. read more

Located on the third floor of the Hyatt Regency, where I was staying, I grabbed some Purple Haze drafts (three) and some chicken wings as a nightcap while watching the late Sunday game after my Jets lost to the Saints earlier down the block at the Superdome and a late lunch/early dinner (Linner? Dunch?) at Mother's. No complaints. read more

We arrived in NOLA and didn't really want to go out so grabbed a bite in the hotel. We didn't have to wait long. Very relaxed place. We were at a high top the other tables were almost like sitting at couch with a table. Lots of tvs around. Started with an order of grilled oysters. They were very tasty, great flavor but not much sauce for dipping. The kitchen forgot our bread which the waiter grabbed for us on request. It was 4 small pieces of toasted bread-wasn't really worth the ask. We split an order of the Cajun fish and chips with sweet potato fries. The fish was a little larger than a fish stick. They were okay, not something I would order again . The sweet potato's were also good but not hot. I had the drink A Streetcar named Loyola which was very good. Our waiter was wonderful. Nice kid who was very friendly and personable. read more

Vitascope Hall - Smoked Chicken Wings - Garlic Parmesan - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This eatery is located inside the Hyatt Regency, so I will start with the ambiance- what a great spot. We got four cocktail tables with comfy sofas in front of TVs that were seemingly everywhere- my brother in law and nephew had great views of all the games and they loved this casual but elegant dining spot. The waitress was so friendly and accommodating. And now the food and drinks- the hotel gave us drink passes for two drinks per room per night. It covered house wines and beers- that was perfect. I had the pino noir and my sister had Cabernet- the guys had beer. Now for the food- yes we came for a taste of NOLA and they delivered. I had the seafood gumbo and sis had the sausage gumbo. We ordered flatbreads that were topped with an assortment of delicious items- I had fried oysters on mine. The guys had burgers and brisket sandwiches. So, even with the free drinks the bill was still close to $170 with the tip, but the food was outstanding. read more

Vitascope Hall is conveniently located on the third floor inside the Hyatt Regency Hotel. I walked in and was immediately seated. The food was pretty good, but a little overpriced. I wasn't at all surprised because the restaurant is inside a hotel, so you're paying for proximity. My waitress was very kind, and had a full list of frequently ordered items when I asked about the menu. The restaurant was clean and well taken care of. read more

High end sports bar feel inside the Hyatt.  Bar in the middle of the dining floor.  Large composite display showing the game.  There is a TV at the table we were dining at... it appears that amost every table had a TV. NOTE- you will be paying hotel rates for the meals. The gumbo is well made...good flavor.  I just had a few spoonfuls but I wanted to steal it from my wife.  The ciabatta that came with gumbo was the only downer of the meal.... tasted a bit old/stale...like it was just stuck in the over to warm and crisp up.  It just did not do it for me. The smash burger... juicy and messy.  Really good with the sharpness of melted  aged cheese balancing  the sweetness of the pickle and bun.  There is hidden mushrooms in between the patties.  There was a rich beefiness flavor that will satisfy the carnivore in some of us. The sweet potato fries are good but a bit cold... tasted good with the mayo. read more

Vitascope Hall - Quinoa salad + sushi + vino - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Yummy food, incredible service, and fancy restaurant! They accommodated gluten free, dairy free, poultry free, salt free, and hot food: 1. Chef Jazzelyn's butternut squash soup was so incredible; I had it for dinner and breakfast. She even gave me pico de gallo with corn, paying attention to the details that I liked pico de gallo the night before. 2. Chef Amanda's pizza was the best gluten free and cow's dairy free pizza I've ever had. With goat cheese and pulled pork, she made a good one, and I kept eating. 3. Chef Ogi made clams and rice for me and gave me the sauce for the pizza to heat it up in my room. The managers also arranged free birthday drinks for my friend and me. Manager Mark called me earlier to arrange the meals (even breakfasts at 6am I needed), manager Selina even arranged parking for my friend, and manager Arina arranged the fantastic soup with Chef Jazzelyn. They even called me in the morning to ask when I wanted breakfast. Thanks to them, I could survive and function during a conference that usually makes me suffer from all gluten, dairy, and cold/raw food. The restaurant itself was very nice as well. TV in every booth, lighting, and ambiance all made it special. I highly recommend this restaurant for people with diet restrictions, and they relieve me that I could eat during other conferences that can happen in their hotel as well. read more

Food here is ok. Nothing special. Avoid the salads. I had a Vita Caeser salad and it was a tiny thing for $11.85! I had the seafood gumbo but it was a tad salty and I've tasted way better at other places in NOLA. The burgers are fine. read more

Food was mediocre, but better than your average hotel food. Every dish is at least $20. The restaurant is very attractive, pretty lighting and relaxing atmosphere. If you're looking for legit creole cuisine, try somewhere outside the hotel. If you're hungry, late night for something relatively quick - vitascope is perfect! read more

Service was ok, I understand the feeling of being unable to fully understand someone asking too many questions at once about the restaurant and the menu. It was a busy night. The drink Voodoo was kinda a let down, weak. The burger was good, the bread fell apart quickly. I mean disintegrated after being picked up. Wondering why a lot of places have this problem is it old bread or is it being stored incorrectly? The spinach artichoke dip was 90% spinach making it taste alittle off. I would go back because it was the closet thing in that massive hotel read more

Great atmosphere, great service, but the sushi wasn't good. I've eaten here before but I've just ordered regular food. Decided to try out the sushi and I was disappointed. We had the Rock n Roll which was okay, and decided to get a deep fried roll too. It took a little over 30 minutes for us to get our sushi order, it wasn't that busy. The deep fried roll was over cooked. It came with spicy tuna and cream cheese inside of it. The spicy tuna was FULLY cooked in it, which was not pleasant tasting and dry. We had to send it back. read more

Great menu options and trendy setting! We were staying at the Hyatt for a work conference and needed someone to grab quick bites for lunch and glad to have found Vitascope. This restaurant is located on the second floor in the Hyatt hotel and is very accessible via bus and street car. In addition, parking is available in an attached garage at reasonable cost. The menu is pretty diverse with pizza, sandwich, Southern style seafood, sushi and a separate drink menu. I had been to the restaurant for 2 occasions and ordered sushi for the first time and catch of the day on the second time. The sushi options were more rolls than traditional nigiris but the rolls were fancy and delicious. The catch of the day was ok and the mahi mahi portion was very generous. As for the prices, salads are around $10-$15 and pizzas are around $15-$20. Most entrees are under $20 and sushi rolls are around $10-$18. Our waiters were very friendly and attentive but we waited quite a bit long for our food. Overall, a solid place for a good meal! read more

We stopped in here for a bite to eat after spending the afternoon out and about in NOLA. We were staying at the hotel and just wanted something to hold us through the night. The menu had a huge selection of sushi (which is evidently their "thing), but had many other options as well. Sushi was not our plan for the night, so we opted to split the crispy Brussel sprouts and a veggie pizza. The Brussel sprouts were crisp, sweet and charred just the right amount. The pizza was good, not amazing - but would get it again. We chose cauliflower, garlic and green pepper for our topping (those were our options in addition to green olives). Could have used more topping choices, more sauce and definitely more cheese. Staff was friendly, environment was clean, modern and upbeat. We will be back. read more

Had a good bowl of red beans and rice after a long day of travel. It's listed as a starter but it's a full meal.

I was very disappointed in this place. First off I waited about 30 minutes just to get my food. I had to scarf it down because it took so long to get to me. I wasn't pleased at the presentation nor do I believe the fish was fresh. It took another 8 to 10 minutes to get the check. My server was awful. Really disappointed as my colleagues told me they were satisfied the night before read more

After at least four meals over several trips to the Hyatt, I have settled on a three star rating for Vitascope Hall. Located near the elevators of the all new Hyatt Regency, this restaurant/bar is fancier than similar offerings from other local hotels. The venue: The restaurant is very modern. There are TVs everywhere and they're all tuned to various sports programs. It gave the place the feel of an upscale sports bar. The food: Ribeye - Very good. It came atop large potato wedges and was perfectly cooked. Pressed burger - good. The star of the dish was the hand cut fries, but the burger was not bad. Potato chip encrusted burger - not good. I don't know what it was, but this burger was flavorless and the texture was all wrong. Chicken sliders - Great concept, but the bacon detracted from the dish. Sausage in a blanket - It was OK, but would've been better without the blanket (puff pastry) Service: Service ranged from very slow to prompt and friendly. Each trip was different, but overall I was pleased with the level of service. Drinks: This is where Vitascope shines. In addition to numerous premium liquors, they had an excellent beer selection that primarily focused on local area brews. St. Arnold, LA 31, Abita, Lazy Magnolia and Nola were all represented there. I particularly liked the Jefferson Stout from Lazy Magnolia. I will be back the next time I stay at the Hyatt. Despite the consistency issues, this is a good hotel restaurant. read more

Stopped in for dinner after arriving for EMF. Staying in the hotel and went for convenience. Staff took way too long to serve me in a section that was altogether empty during a non busy time. I got the charbroiled oysters with the seaweed salad. Figured i'd save room for dessert. The oysters were fine. Flavor was there but there wasn't enough sauce on them which made the absurdly thick toast they gave for sopping utterly useless. The salad was standard but seemed to be thrown together with the majority of the cucumber being on the bottom of the bowl. I prefer my salad tossed () better than that. The largest disappointment was the bread pudding. On paper it sounded amazing and thats were all the good times with this dish end. It was brought to the table barely warm and taste wise there was no essence of bourbon or a cohesively baked dessert. The bread felt like a cross between a croissant and brioche. And thats this dishes largest error. Just not a good fit for the soaking agent and it tasted mushy and bland. I tolerated it but wouldn't recommend getting it. The nuts on top are a haphazard garnish and shouldn't have been there. Ice cream was ok but the true star of this tragedy was the caramel. Super yum. Three stars because I'm sure I'll be back but only for less complex, regular american bar food as that seems to be what this place does well. . read more

So I stopped by to see what they have to offer. It's a sports bar, located within the Hyatt Regency. I sat at the bar and was greeted by a nice bartender. I used my Yelp coupon to try their chips, which were really good! Comes in 3 flavors: Sour Cream, BBQ, & Sour Cream n Cheddar, I think. The last one was my least fav. I ordered a Peach Sangria w/red wine & charbroiled oysters. Both were delicious. I enjoyed my visit. read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining three, consecutive nights at Vitascope Hall while guests at the Hyatt. The staff is nice and the food selection is diverse. Our server two of the three nights was Zhelle. She was friendly and efficient. Zhelle had several tables, yet we were never neglected. She was "present" while at our table. Each time she came over, she gave us a friendly smile and made us feel as if we were her only customers. The quality of the food, overall, is good. There are more hits than misses. The chicken and sausage gumbo is a miss: no chicken and only one, small slice of sausage. The hits: the Brussels sprouts and fried okra in a balsamic fig sauce was amazing; both the Vitascope burger and the smash burger are simply delicious; and my favorite ...the chicken sliders. Smothered in sautéed onions and placed on top of slices of bacon on mini, toasted brioche buns...ohhhh...I CANNOT! Wow! Zhelle recommended all of the amazing dishes. We felt like...and were treated as if...we were longtime customers. We look forward to dining with our friends at Vitascope Hall on our next visit to New Orleans. read more

So, we're in New Orleans, one of the Meccas of food, and we can't go out because it's pouring rain, so we end up here, inside of our own hotel. I don't usually go for in-hotel restaurants because they usually cater to the hotel "I just need something to eat and I don't want to go out" crowd, and this was no exception... As a bar, it's kind of interesting with a wide selection of craft beers and some unusual seating arrangements with your own private TV's (although I didn't find where you could change the channel) or pub chairs at the bar or around some elevated tables. As a restaurant, don't expect to be served your food quickly. Service was great, two waitresses that were ever mindful of things like drinks and water, but the food just seemed to take forever... and the appetizer came with the meal, so there was no expediting getting some food at all. (We stopped in for a snack the night before when we arrived, and that took forever so I was just hoping to get something to eat within 30 minutes, yeah, no go on that.) Anyway, for dinner I ordered the beet salad with shrimp, and hubby ordered the special that night which was swordfish. My "dinner" beet salad was like a side salad with three big leaves of kale and three ping-pong ball-sized beets; along with a scattering of shredded cheese and some kind of hummus-like dressing. At least the 6 shrimps I got were nicely grilled and flavorful. Hubby's swordfish, which I tasted, had no seasoning at all, and just barely had some flavor due to the sauce they served with the pasta noodles. I'm glad I ordered the fried grits balls and shrimp starter as that ended up being like my main meal. Both were pretty tasty, and the sauce on the shrimp was useful to dip both the grits balls and the bland swordfish into. The night before, we snacked on a shrimp, asparagus and crab roll that the waitress recommended. Ok for a roll, but nothing special. The artichoke spinach dip was flavorful with the bread slices, but I didn't quite know what to do with the two over-fried, over-battered soft shell crablets that they served. These were small, i-phone sized little babies that pretty much just tasted like fried batter and shells with no visible meat to them at all. So let's review. Probably won't be back unless it's to have a drink and someone else has already ordered chips or something... I wouldn't want to starve again waiting for the food to come out... read more
