The Scene
An old-school tiled and mirrored dining room is filled with longtime regulars and starry eyed tourists. Galatoire's tuxedo-clad waitstaff provides a near-perfect mix of crackerjack service and experienced, knowledgeable patter. While the main dining room is first come, first served, the upstairs area now takes reservations. Those who prefer to wait can sip a cocktail in the bar.
The Food
The definitive Creole classics: tangy shrimp remoulade, turtle soup, red snapper topped with sinfully rich lump crab sauteed in meuniere sauce. Try crabmeat maison, lump crab in a cold sauce tinged with Creole mustard and flavorful capers, as a cooling appetizer. Expect the perfect marriage of fresh, local seafood and rich, French-inspired sauces. Trout Marguery, a rolled fillet of poached trout paired with shrimp, mushrooms and hollandaise sauce is a rich Galatoire's trademark.

Perhaps, it was because of New Year's Eve and it took 2 hours to sit downstairs, but our entree- grilled pompano with lump crab meat was the WORST fish we've ever eaten. Living on the gulf coast and have eaten the best fish ever, it was not hard to detect bad fish. We told the server it was not good and were ignored. We didn't want to cause a scene and ruin the night. It was as if a mallet had been taken to the pompano. Flat, no meat, and scanty with bones. Everything else was extremely lovely. We probably will never go back or recommend.

Love love love Galatoire's. The food is wonderful, the place is gorgeous and the service is top notch. Try the crabmeat maison, it is heavenly. Also be sure to ask your waiter if there is anything off menu like crawfish etouffee. It is soooooo yummy.

Had he most amazing meal at Galatoire with my Fi's family. I suggested the place and no one was let down. The Grand Goute, fried eggplant the potatoes were great beginings. A new thing was the salad with everything, called a Godcheaux Salad, it was just yummy and amazing. I had trout and it was made perfectly. I think they could add a few deserts and the wine list was reasonable. A great night in a great New Orleans tradition.
