What People Are Saying About Mat & Naddie's Restaurant

Citysearch
The Scene – Mat & Naddie's has a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. The main dining room--divided by a single exposed-brick chimney--feels open, yet intimate. An open-air deck gives a view of the Riverbend levee. Both are breezy and casual. – – The Food – Hearty interpretations of American and New Orleans classics dominate the menu. Asian influences sneak into the New Orleans black bean-barbecued shrimp--deliciously tender tails flash-grilled and accompanied by a bold sauce of fermented black beans. Oysters Rockefeller pizza appetizer is a wonderful variation on the…
Cool, flavorful place!
by RockiDucote
Although I only went to Mat and Naddie's once, and although I only had dessert, I must say that this is one cool little place. The atmosphere is the best part. It features very cool decor and live gypsy swing music on Monday nights.
I decided on the night that I went to Mat and Naddie's that I wanted to live a little and order my dessert first. Best decision! I had a warm chocolate and peanut butter cake that sent me to the moon. If you have a sweet tooth, this is certainly a good spot to cure it!
- Pros: Fun atmosphere, one of the best desserts around!
- Cons: A bit of a long wait, but you can hardly notice with all the entertainment going on!
Average experience, inaccurate citysearch review. Expect $$$, not $.

After reading the citysearch review for Mat & Naddie's, I was expecting great food and a stand-out experience. The atmosphere was very comfortable and intimate. The clientele was far from trendy; sweater-clad and over 45. Not to be discouraged, we continued on toward our table and examined the menu. It was very limited and few things appealed to my taste. A few fish dishes, an unappetizing-sounding duck dish, a filet, and some vegetarian options were the only offered entrees. The wine menu, however, was extensive and offered a fantastic selection. Beer drinkers are faced with a small selection limited to Abitas and a couple of imports. Citysearch has labeled this as one $ pricewise. However, I was surprised to find the entrees were priced at an average of $23. Service was rather slow throughout the night. The gulf fish was fantastic and complemented by crab meat and a fantastic sweet and tangy sauce. The eggplant ratatoullie was a meager helping accented by a sauce that can only be described as a cross between cheetos and tacos. We did not see our waitress until we were finished. I had only a couple bites of my meal and told the waitress I did not like it. To my surprise, she replied I should have told her earlier, did not remove it from our bill, and did not offer me any other meal. Should you venture out to Mat & Naddie's, be prepared for "pretty" food and subpar service. If you chose one of their fantastic wines, it may make the night a little more enjoyable.
- Pros: Wine list
- Cons: Service, limited options, small portions, not a great value

The Extras:
Rife with comments from enthusiastic staff members, Mat & Naddie's wine list makes for a great, unstuffy read.
Know Before You Go:
The formal address sometimes causes confusion with out-of-towners, so the cafe usually describes its location as "where Freret meets the River." Any cab driver will understand those directions.
