- TTrevorNew Orleans / Louisiana •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoAs always, Atchafalaya was fantastic. We have been to the restaurant many times in the past, and I’ve almost all restaurants in this evening ones, they exemplify Southern hospitality. Josh, who welcomes people at the door and coordinate your experience, is always warm and inviting, as are all the wait staff.  my wife and I each had the swordfish special for the evening, and our friend had the Wagyu steak. Everything was complex, flavorful, and delicious. The 3 drinks we had were also complex and tasty. Will be back as always!More infoAtchafalaya RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Creole / Cajun / Southern• Garden District•4.9
- AAshleyNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoBrennan’s is always a good choice for brunch! The dining area started off quiet… but got a bit noisy towards the end. I wish there was better noise absorbing surfaces to help manage the noise levels… my 70+ Father who joined my husband and I for brunch really struggled to hear us and had to keep adjusting his hearing aides to be able to try and enjoy our conversations… The food and service did not disappoint! I had the Crab & Avocado toast with a poached egg on top, my husband had the Duck Confit Hash and my father had the Eggs St. Charles. All were very good! We ordered the Brabant Potatoes for the table…. And as always they were out of this world!!! The coffee was brewed to perfection and the service was impeccable… overall a great meal, just a little noisy.More infoBrennan'sPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.8
- LLibbyVIPDenver / Colorado •17 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoMy basil spaghetti was delicious as was the duck confit eaten by another diner. Another diner had speckled trout which he was unimpressed with. Parts of the fish were undercooked and some parts were overcooked.More infoThe BowerPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Lower Garden District•4.5
- PPegHouston •6 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe had an amazing experience at Meril. The staff and service were impeccable. The flavor profiles of the dishes were excellent. Strongly suggest Mexican street corn, meatballs, and banana cream pie. We highly recommend dining at Meril.More infoMerilPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Warehouse District•4.5
- NNatalieVIPNew Orleans / Louisiana •104 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoMeals are always very good. However, the cocktails are super expensive- can get same drinks at other bars for less. Also. disappointed that the restaurant doesn’t validate for complimentary parking if we dine at the restaurant anymore. They now give diners a 50% discount.More infoM bistroPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• French Quarter•4.2
