Best Date Night Restaurants in New Orleans

Listen, I know when you’re in New Orleans it’s all about the Creole. And we have thoroughly enjoyed eating our way through bowls of gumbo and grilled oysters… but nothing celebrated my palate like this experience we had at Nobu. I have no idea what we ate exactly, but I remember when I briefly needed glasses in 3rd grade and thinking the grass had never been greener and the sky had never really been blue like this before. This is what this food did to me. The flavors had—no exaggeration—actual swear-to-Jesus layers and my mouth celebrated it all with a little grand finale of a pop of punchy explosion. Yes. It was all that. It was perfect and everything I didn’t know I had been missing. It’s not cheap, but it is a real experience. Our server, Andrea made the best recommendations and our chef even visited tableside with an extra little surprise. I imagine in a world where people are seeking the Creole experience this Asian cuisine could be overlooked, but it should be a stand out. The cod dish I forgot to take a picture of was this sexy satiny dish that felt so luxurious like the best sheets you’ve ever slept in… Whatever the other white fish dish was the thing I will be coming back for. A beautiful layered delight. This little pepper that hit you right at the end like a first kiss. The Wagu dish was so smooth with just the right amount of peppery, salty punch atop a melt in your mouth beef with a final tomato explosion. All so good. Save your money for this splurge, it is worth it even for non-fancy people like me.

A very eclectic and pleasant environment to eat. Food was fresh, service attentive.

We had a great meal and experience. My wife order the filet, my daughter had the shrimp and I had the strip. We treated it like family style and shared with everyone. The flavors were excellent and the Pittsburgh style was perfect. The sides are large and shareable too. Jared was our server and he never left us wanting or needing anything, and didn’t hover the entire time either. It was a great balance. We will be back!

The ambiance, drinks and food was all amazing. Steaks, lamp chops, garlic mash & seafood mac was good AF. Will be back

Very good food! Big servings! Loved the rabbit dish even though I could not eat it all! Other parties had lasagna that was individually served in a big pan for each. So close to the Orpheum theater which we attended thst evening. All so very convenient snd good. Plenty of time for everything.
