    This was a last minute decision because several other places wouldn’t allow us a 9 person reservation. Service was excellent and attentive. Food all came out hot and was what we expected from a middling NO seafood restaurant. It was a bit loud and I would not consider it fine dining but overall everyone thought the food was pretty good and nothing that would be a bad experience.

    As first timers, we had a wonderful experience. We were celebrating a birthday and found the food and service to be exceptional. It was not busy when we arrived, but became quite busy while we were there the business, however, did not deter the staff from providing the service we had was a package I sent it when we arrived. We would highly recommend the restaurant and the staff for any visitors to the quarter. We wanted also to recognize our server Keith, who was pleasant, well spoken, professional, and provided extraordinary service for our visit. Thank you Keith and thank you for the remaining staff for being well mannered and professional.

    Dining Disappointment My recent dining experience at New Orleans Creole Cookery left much to be desired. While the ambiance was pleasant and the restaurant's reputation preceded it, the service and overall dining experience fell short of expectations. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly hostess who informed us of a brief wait despite having a reservation. After a few minutes, we were seated at our table, but it took an additional ten minutes for our waiter to approach us. We ordered water to start, and it arrived promptly and our food order was taken until several minutes later. Once the food arrived, we ordered a couple glasses of wine. We observed the food was overcooked and lacked flavor. The dishes were also quite salty, which further detracted from the dining experience. The wine was not brought out until about twenty minutes later, by which time we had finished our meal and were no longer interested in having it. When the waiter presented us with the bill, we paid in full without leaving a tip. This decision was based on the subpar service we had received throughout the evening. As we exited the restaurant, the waiter followed us out onto the street and made a derogatory sound towards us, presumably for not leaving a tip. This unprofessional behavior further solidified our negative impression of the restaurant. While the food was passable, the overall dining experience was marred by poor service and unprofessional conduct from the waiter. I would not recommend this restaurant to others, as there are far better dining options available that offer not only delicious food but also attentive and courteous service.

    We got the crab cake to start. Definitely big enough to share, very rich in flavor and so so good! Then we got the half dozen charred oysters, and the red fish Ponchartrain. Everything was amazing.

    We ate here for Thanksgiving dinner. Reviews were not helpful, so we went by the restaurant and talked to the host the day before. He was enthusiastic about the menu and the place had character. The 5 of us enjoyed our meals and drinks. We would eat here again.

    Friendly, helpful server. I was outside and found it lovely and comfortable. It is unfortunate that the food does not match. I nibbled a bit, tried to find it tasty but could not. Wast of time and money. Do not recommend. Plenty of other options provide better food. Too expensive for such poor quality.

    The hostess was grumpy and seemed unprepared to seat us, even though we had a reservation. Not the warm welcome you'd expect. The food was ok and the stand-out was our server. He was great. The pricing is misleading. The menu prices on open table are lower and don't correspond with the menu prices at the venue. You review the menu online and are ok with what you see, you reserve, arrive and: Suprise! the menu prices are more than you saw online. The actual prices are up to $10 more per item, depending on what you order. By the time you notice this you're seated and your party probably already ordered their drinks, so leaving at that point is just going to be inconvenient to your guests. This tactic lures customers in and then they charge them more than you expect. I won't be going back

    Food was ok, not great, but ok. Problems we waited 30 minutes for the appetizer and they send only one but the following one came with the entrees all togheter, same time. Waiter was nice but very unprofessional. We did not even asked for the ticket or dessert and came with it. Too much talking of the waiter and not very funny finally. Never more

    The menu posted online didn’t match what was offered and what we ordered was a BIG disappointment. Wait staff was so noisy that you couldn’t hear the restaurant music. The glassware was dirty and needed to be washed. The salad plates were chipped and should have not been used. The salad was served warm and wilted. The food was lacking flavor and had NO presentation efforts. To pay $100 + for 2 for a meal of this poor level was a shame.

    It is a beautiful courtyard experience but the fountain but was drafty and cold. (Obviously not their fault and glad for the cooling of that area) The food was great and loved the creole pasta dish! Would definitely book again! Service was good too! Champagne too!

    We were seated quickly, our waitress was attentive, she took our order quickly, and our food came out before we could even think about waiting. We arrived at the restaurant at 7:35pm (reservation at 7:45) and were finished eating by 8:20pm..,. This is how fast they were. Not to mention the food was exceptional! I would highly recommend this restaurant. Be sure to get the red beans and rice you won’t regret it 😀.
