Lots of attitude

by CSMobileUser2

Great food but very rude waiters. I work in the restaurant industry in NYC and have not in all my years witnessed such stereotypical "aloof waiter" behavior. It was like a bad movie. Save your money- it's not worth the insult.

We let the waiter choose the food for us, GREAT!

by conradbob05

We had been there a few years back, but this time was different. A waiter offered us some drinks, which seemed pretty good. Then another waiter named Dave came along with the menus, and asked us what we would like to eat that nite. Before we even looked at the menus, he told us about a family style assortment of appetizers, so we went for it. It was great. I must have tasted 10 different things in the 4 appitizers, and there were only 6 of us. And then he helped us with the entree selections, and they were spot on. We didn't really have to look at the menu at all. And it wasn't that expensive. I will ask for Dave next time we come to New Orleans.

• Pros: Didn't even have to look at the menus!
• Cons: Parking

A Classy Surprise Just Off Bourbon St.

by aapc

This was our first time in New Orleans. We were a little unprepared for the restaurant scene and figured we'd just try our luck. We were looking for something with a little class and some "atmosphere" and not too expensive....and we found it! We opted for the formal dining room (not the Jazz Bistro but I'm sure we would have enjoyed that too). The food was great, the service was excellent, prices were a little high but it was worth it. I had the Chicken Potalba (very tasty) and my wife raved about the Snapper Mitchell. Get the Shrimp Arnaud for an appetizer and I also highly recommend the Bananas Foster for dessert.

• Pros: choice of formal or jazz bistro dining
• Cons: none
