Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Gretna

The hostess, bartender, managers, and entire staff were so kind and went above and beyond for us tonight. I will never forgot our experience here. Thank you to Jason Lonigro and to the entire staff.

Despite a tragic day for New Orleans, the staff at Mr B's was on it tonight. Food, service, attention and care all first class. No wonder Mr B's is a NOLO favorite.

We were thankful to secure a reservation at this restaurant, which was inside our hotel, following the terrorist attack that occurred on Bourbon Street early this morning. The pizza and ceasar salad were great. Both items were shareable with the pizza including 8 slices. The salad was shared amongst three people. The service was perfect considering the soberness and sadness in the air. I do not recommend the cauliflower appetizer—bland, very hard to share, no flavor and unimpressive presentation. Overall, I would not consider this a destination restaurant but could see it being a great spot with a nice atmosphere post Saints game or concert event for pizza.

Excellent service and food. Our waiter was very attentive and went out of his way to make sure we were happy, even offered us a tour of the restaurant after dinner. My wife had the shrimp and crawfish fettuccine in a light cream sauce, and she said it was excellent. I had the duck Saint Philip, also excellent the oysters Irene were excellent as was the Caprese salad. New York cheesecake and bread pudding for dessert, cheesecake was excellent, bread pudding was so so. All in all, Irene‘s is an excellent dining experience. If you’re in New Orleans IMO.

Food and service were exceptional. We had the ceviche’ and lobster ravioli appetizers then ordered Hallibut with scallops and shrimp risotto — the signature dish — and the Parmesan-crusted sheepshead with lemon butter and browned capers served either asparagus as our main courses. Everything was perfectly prepared! We ordered 3 desserts to top it all off: the salty malty ice cream pie, the white chocolate bread pudding and the chocolate mouse in a dark chocolate dome with raspberry gelee’. Perfect evening. Except for learning at the end of the night that our parking would not be validated. We were not told to bring the parking ticket to the front desk at the beginning of the night. If you go to GW Finn’s and expect to get parking validated, do not pay the garage when you park (despite the fact that all of the signs in the garage and the boots on cars are somewhat threatening in there). Instead, take your unpaid parking garage ticket directly to the front desk at the restaurant for validation with a picture of your license plate. This was the only sour note of our evening. Otherwise, it was perfect!
