What People Are Saying About Galatoire's Restaurant

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,…

Didn't live up to the reputation! Really only pretentious!

Unfortunately, this once fine restaurant has run its course. The wait staff was incredibly friendly, but the food was just plain disappointing! Every loaf of bread they brought out was burned on top, my chicken clemenceau was unremarkable, as was my son's steak. For $100 for two, it just wasn't worth the build-up. Wouldn't g there ever again.
- Pros: Our waitress was great!
- Cons: Hated walking the gauntlet on Bourbon Street to get there

A truly wonderful evening

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.

Wonderful, classic meal!
by ac76 at Citysearch
We were in New Orleans last month for a weekend to celebrate our seventh anniversary. We decided to go to Galatoire's for our anniversary dinner because we wanted to get really dressed up and have an old-school, New Orleans-style dinner. We went a bit later in the evening and didn't have to wait in line--great start to the night! Our waiter turned out to be fantastic. He was super friendly and made us feel right at home. Now, here's the deal with Galatoire's: don't go there expecting some cutting-edge, super gourmet experience. It's not that sort of place. You go to Galatoire's for the classic New Orleans dining experience and for old, standard, dishes done to absolute perfection. And that's just what we got. Our whole meal was truly outstanding: Oysters Rockefeller, fried eggplant and potato souffles, roasted duck a l'orange, and banana bread pudding. We couldn't have asked for a better dinner to celebrate our anniversary. And don't miss out on the cafe brulot, a house specialty. I can't recommend Galatoire's enough if you want a true, old New Orleans dining experience and old standards cooked to perfection. It was the highlight of our weekend and we can't wait to go back again.
- Pros: great dining room, friendly service, excellent food
- Cons: we're big into French wine, and the menu was somewhat limited here. But there's still something for everyone.
