Such a cute place in Houma. The food, service, ambience, and over all experience was great. We got Brittney one of their veteran servers who has been there 8 years. She was reading off the menu by memory and was offering food and drink pairing recommendations. I was impressed. Since it was my first time I went with all her recommendations and I enjoyed every bite. Chef Mason really knows how to prepare a feast. Everything was prepared fresh and to order. And I can taste the love in the foods. We enjoyed a well balanced 5 course meal. I highly recommend the place.

We went to Brennans for a New Years dinner as well as a late celebratory dinner for my 2 year olds birthday dinner. I had a 2 year old, a 6 year old and my spouse present. My children were fairly noisy, and playful and the wait staff were very friendly and helpful as well as brought them cotton candy and treats to the table. I never felt uncomfortable having children present for fine dining, and had a great dinner experience. The traditional cabbage and black eyed pea single bite appetizer spoons were delicious, even my 6 year old loved it. My waitress was a sweet younger woman originally from New England, She wore glasses and I hate that I can’t remember her name, but she was very soft spoken and sweet and made the experience much more enjoyable. We will be back to try the 2nd quarter menu but this time as an adults only New Orleans vacation.

Had an amazing experience celebrating an anniversary at Mr. B’s. They were so attentive from start to finish, and both our servers were friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered the pork tenderloin with black-eyed peas and cabbage. It came out perfectly, and they made sure our glasses were filled. I really appreciated the bubbly and happy anniversary wishes. Will come again!

As a resident of New Orleans, I normally recommend this restaurant to my clients and company visiting New Orleans. My. clients are always happy with their service, so I decided to try it out. It was nice meeting the staff face-to-face that assist me with my reservations. The food was fabulous. We ordered the redfish with pecan topping. OMG! The manager, Marcus Benoit and Katie, the hostess was very accommodating. The servers were awesome!

La Petite Grocery was as wonderful as it was reputed to be. I went for the blue crab beignets, which were absolutely the best beignets I can imagine. The quantities of food were manageable, appreciated so that there was room for dessert. And the desserts were particularly complex and interesting - we tried all four.

While the food was spectacular and overall service decent, our server Warren wasn't the friendliest and we had an issue paying the bill. We payed with our Caesars players card, which Ruth Chris accepts, however Warren was quite RUDE when I went to pay for our $500 plus meal.
