Best Fun Restaurants in Bywater

This was by far the best meal we had during our trip to New Orleans. The atmosphere, service and food were all amazing. We were greeted by the kindest person when we first arrived and from there the server was precious along with everyone else who touched our table. Both entrees were delicious and the apple cake was phenomenal. We can’t wait to come back next year, thank you for making our anniversary so special!

Amazing food experience. We always come to Silk Road when we visit New Orleans!

The Reveillon Dinner was the best experience of the Season. Some restaurants seem use the prix fixe menu as an opportunity to dumb-down their offerings. This was not the case at The Country Club. The menu was thoughtful, seasonal, well prepared and reflective of the fine kitchen for which this establishment is known. We had a lovely evening, with excellent wine advice from our main server. As an added bonus, the ambiance of this venue is not to be missed.

My husband and I came to the restaurant to pay homage to the great Chess Master, Paul Morphy, and the restaurant was a way to visit the place. The house belonged to the prominent Morphy family and they have a small room dedicated to him with a chess board and a photo of the great Chess Master. Brennan's is THE place to have brunch! They are justly famous for the quality of the food. AMAZING: Blueberry Cornmeal Cake, Seafood Gumbo, Eggs Sardou, Eggs Hussarde, all the sides and try the New Orleans Style Coffee.

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!
