Bon Ton Prime Rib, New Orleans' third-oldest restaurant, is where the spirit of old New Orleans meets the new. The menu blends classic Cajun flavors with signature cuts of prime rib, classic steaks, and popular regional seafood with timeless cocktails, including the Rum Ramsey—a nod to the restaurant’s heritage. Set in the historic 1840s Natchez building, this iconic institution honors its rich past while looking ahead. Complimentary valet parking is available.

    Our selection for the evening was the chargrilled oysters, seafood bisque, prime rib and loaded 1# baked potato. Everything was excellent. Our waiter Trae, was very attentive to our needs. The experience for the evening was very enjoyable. We will definitely be making more reservations in the future.

    Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed. The prime rib was too rare… not medium rare. If a customer spends this much on a prime cut of meat, they should have it cooked ANY WAY THEY PREFER. The music in no way celebrates New Orleans or Cajun culture, which is a shame for customers who are music culture bearers. The crab cakes were excellent, but they weren't a good complement. The Lemon Meringue dessert was excellent. Overall, I was disappointed.

    We shared the ‘bone in’ Bon Ton cut. Hands down the best prime rib ever.

    Our Server, Zak, was friendly and busy. All of the food was delicious and well prepared. But it took almost an hour to be seated for our 7pm rez. Very popular place for good reason. Everyone is happy to see the Bon Ton reopen. However, they need to get a handle on timing.
