Diner Reviews
  • "Our server was not very attentive and this was not due to the restaurant being crowded. You would expect better service with a fine dining experience."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "The menu is more imaginative anx limited than you'd find a Typical "steakhouse" which could be good or bad depending on what you are looking for. Everything we tried was delicious and the service was top notch."
    Dined on 3/3/2014
  • "The only thing we found slightly lacking was the service. It was though we were an after thought. The waitress was very nice and friendly though not very attentive. The restaurant was busy though what makes an excellent waitress is you never feel that when you are being served. Otherwise great meal!"

  • "Steak was excellent for husband. For my lite appetite, many choices were available. I chose pork belly with grits. All were very tasty!"
    Dined on 2/28/2014
  • "As a casino-based steakhouse, I wasn't expecting very much -- except for the fact of the Besh name -- from this restaurant. But it has some very inventive and excellent non-steak dishes -- as one would expect from Besh. Not sure why you'd go here when August is 2 blocks away, for a full serving of Besh cuisine. But if you can't leave the casino, this would be one of the best restaurants in any city but New Orleans."
    Dined on 2/24/2014
  • "We had filet mignons that were the best we have ever had. The accompaniments were included unlike many steak houses and were also great. The prices were also reasonable. Definitely a go back place."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Priced reasonably for what the food should be., however, 30 days aged steak ($75) was of Golden Corral quality, better desserts at Dairy Queen, pasta shell crab appetizer ($20); think Chef Boy RD, lobster tail ($32), compare to pencil eraser, both in size and texture. Combing the very marginal food quality with exceptionally slow service; a serious disappointment for what should be a mid to high quality restaurant. I think it is quite reasonable to expect better food and good service from this restaurant, I would strongly recommend avoiding this Besh!!!!!"
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Love having dinner at Besh in New Orleans. We love the intimate and quiet atmosphere. The Lobster Bisque was very tasty, the steaks,superb, done expertly. The wine list, exceptional. We were not rushed and had a lovely time."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "I made a reservation about 3 weeks ahead when called to confirm I was told that they could not find my reservation and that my confirmation number was not showing up either. After placing me on hold several times and waiting about 30 minutes I was told they could reschedule me for 9:00 pm. I was furious but accepted b/c it was to late to go elsewhere. The vibe was good. The menu was a special menu which I did not like, very limited and small variety of options. I ordered a mojito which was horrible but I didn't complain. The steak was very tender and delicious. Our waiter was hardly around talked to another table across the room the entire time. I had to ask 2x for a refill. Would give another chance with the whole menu b/c food was good."

  • "I've been to many high end steak restaurants across North America and the Filet was one of the best I've ever had. With that said, this is the only steak restaurant I went to while in New Orleans and I've heard there are others which stack-up against this restaurant (Dickie Breannan's, Chophouse, etc.). But, if you do choose this one, I don't believe you will be disappointed."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "I was so disappointed for my first experience at a Besh restaurant. The service was terrible, our waiter was rude and neglected us. She seemed annoyed that we brought our own wine (Besh restaurants done have corkage fees). My shrimp and grits were semi-cold and needed salt. What a let-down! Go somewhere else!"
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Excellent! Not only was this a valentine's dinner but a celebration of my husband's retirement. Thanks to the hostess who seated us at a private booth and checked on us throughout our visit to make sure we were well taken care of. Food was excellent. Steaks cooked to perfection. Wait staff was very attentive. A night we will remember always!!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "The food was great! Service was good. Very easy to park and get to. So glad they changed the special menu to a much more broad menu. Got a call the night before saying it was going to be a special menu. My fiancée called and complained about the limited menu. The did change it and included a nice selection. Originally the menu had shellfish on every entrée and its a steakhouse... But they changed it and in the end was a great experience, hope they took notes for next year. Also don't forget to ask to validate your parking! They did not ask, I had to request!"
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "THE PRIX FIXE MENU NEEDED TO INCLUDE AT LEAST TWO ENTRES AND APPETIZERS TO CHOOSE FROM. ALTHOUGH THE MENU ITEMS WERE DELICIOUS, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN TWO DISHES. THE MAIN COURSE WAS GREAT; HOWEVER, I ALWAYS NEED TO HAVE MY STEAK MEDIUM AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS COOKED MEDIUM RARE. I WAS DINING WITH MY SON WHO ORDERED HIS RARE AND I OF COURSE HAD MINE MEDIUM WELL. I WAS ADVISED THAT IT MAY BE TOUGH, BUT I INFORMED THE WAITRESS THAT I WOULD RATHER HAVE IT A LITTLE TOUGH THAN FLOATING IN RED JUICE. MY SON WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE BOTH OF OUR DISHES WERE COOKED MEDIUM WELL. IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT HE HAD AN APPOINTMENT MADE ELSEWHERE, WE DID NOT HAVE TIME TO ASK FOR ANOTHER PLATE. HE ATE HIS MEDIUM WELL."

  • "We celebrated my wife's Birthday at Besh Steakhouse, and had a great meal."
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "This is a nice restaurant, but not a first choice any more. Our waiter was just okay, not what is expected from a restaurant of this caliber. My appetizer of crab/shells was delicious, but the constant crunching into shells was not a good thing -- and the waiter was there when it happened and he just joked, "Oh, you got a shell." I'm just glad I didn't break a tooth. My ribeye was overly fatty and mostly inedible. Dessert was just okay. Very glad I had a comp from the casino for this"

  • "We are huge fans of all of Besh's restaurants and have dined at the Steak House multiple times. The service was wonderful, the food more than disappointing. The iceberg salad was perfect, cold, crisp, the dressing top notch. However, the filets were overcooked and dry. The "scalloped potatoes" seemed an afterthought and failry tasteless. The asparagus was past it's fresh prime, yellow on the ends and also bland. We were shocked at the quality of the food because everything that comes out of Besh's kitchens has always been wonderful. Makes us wonder if it has declined due to the fact many of the diners are paying for the meal on the Harrah's reward card.f"
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "I had a great time at Besh with my lady friend. It was dim, but the lighting was romantic. I've never been to an upscale restaurant like this, so I naturally was impressed by most everything. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the sides were delicious. We ordered a single salad to share and it was brought to us in the proper portions on two different plates. It was very nice of them to do that. The wine we got was $12 a glass but was a red from Napa Valley, so hey..it was worth it. Delicious and paired well with our meals. I highly recommend this steakhouse if you don't mind spending $100+ on a meal."

  • "Came into town a day early just to attend the wine dinner. We had the best time and loved all the pairings. Thankful for such a memorable evening!"

  • "First time eating at Besh Steakhouse. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire meal. Duck and andouille gumbo was out of this world. Grilled swordfish was very good also. Service was excellent, the ambience and decor were very pleasing. Highly recommend!"
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "I was disappoint in the server she was not friendly, did not know the menu, had to ask another person about the fish I was going to order. It took 50 mins to get our fish really don't think we will be going back"

  • "The food is the best. There are very few restaurants that are as good as this one."
    Dined on 1/24/2014
  • "The food, service, atmosphere, and ambience was great. Our group had the Frenchies and the Big Bad Baked Oysters for apps. Unbelievably good! We had beet salads and casaer salads afterward. Very good. Between the four of us, we had lamb, trout almondine, pork chop, and duck breast. We all tasted each others' entree and they were outstanding. We toughed it out and had bread pudding, creme brule, and satsuma chess cake for dessert. Wow, there is nothing else to say. Fantastic meal."
    Dined on 1/22/2014
  • "The restaurant is nice but is part of the casino so unless you are a heavy smoker this is not a good place to eat, especially at the menu price point. It also looked like some patrons had free food vouchers from the casino so i was in a suit and they had on jeans so don't over dress. I could not even eat my meal, although my steak was gorgeous it was not even close to being prepared as ordered and with the second hand smoke I was not waiting for a re-fire. I gave the entire steak to a homeless guy outside to be honest. The shrimp bisque was great and the bread was good as well. Also the blue dog theme was awesome. Take home message, if you smoke you will enjoy but don't feel like you need to dress up!"

  • "We had a delightful meal at Besh early on a Friday night. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was quite good with nice melding of flavors. While the service was good - it was a little rushed, not giving us time to just enjoy the moment"

  • "Our meal was outstanding.. The steaks were prepared perfectly and the appetizers were great. I would definitly recommend Besh Steak to everyone."

  • "We took our needs to celebrate her 21st birthday. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic. We especially enjoyed the filet. I mentioned to the server that we were celebrating a birthday and she delivered a delicious banana foster dessert with happy birthday written in chocolate on the plate. It looks so good that I ordered that dessert for myself.YUM! Oh I also have to give a special mention to the salads. I had the bed salad and two of us have the Caesar salad. The other person in our party had the asparagus soup. I guess you could say it is a great place to eat."

  • "We dined for a revellion dinner. the food was ok. there was certainly plenty of it, we were beyond full by the end! the ambience was what you would expect for being in a casino. our server, while competent, would have been better suited to a perkins than to a fine dining experience.it became nearly comical."
    Dined on 12/25/2013
  • "Outstanding service and very good food (ribeye steak and beef filet), special wishes for sides were addressed (no extra charge) Restaurant is inside Harrah's casino, but not noisy at al; nice atmosphere; we got a table for two with a lot of privacy"

  • "Cowboy steak is the best steak we've ever had! Unfortunately, there was a prix fixe menu this night, but the food was great nonetheless! We highly recommend the desserts, also."

  • "Living in New Orleans we have had the privilege of dining in the best restaurants in the country all in our backyard; however, Besh Steakhouse is not one of them. First of all, it is in a casino, so it is a smoke filled environment. Secondly, the steaks were charred on the outside and overcooked for medium. We would have sent the dishes back, but it had taken over an 75 minutes to get our meal at a 6:00 pm reservation. Our waitress was trying her best, but had too many tables in the back of the restaurant. The front of the restaurant was empty. The menu is overpriced, but that is to be expected at a Besh restaurant; however, the food and service is usually exceptional. I would not recommend dining at this restaurant."

  • "The waiter was awesome. Larry was attentive and knowledgeable. It was Christmas day and he never once complained or seemed even the slightly bit irritated that he was working. He was a pleasure. The food was great but the booth we sat in was one of the first ones on the right as you walk in and the sound seemed to bounce off of the wood in the curve behind the seat and we could hear loud voices from two booths down other than that it was a lovely experience and the steak (rib eye) was cooked perfectly"
    Dined on 12/25/2013
  • "this besh restaurant would have earned higher marks if it weren't confusingly part of a casino, which cheapens the whole experience, particularly because the restaurant was filled with cigarette smoke. most of the food was good, but the clientele, the atmosphere, and the whole place screamed casino."
    Dined on 12/25/2013
  • "Wanted a break from seafood, so we decided on Besh since it was in Harrahs and we were meeting another couple there. Arrived at restaurant, and despite being almost empty, we were seated near front close to noisy casino and next to a family with several kids. We did get moved- but hostess grudgingly did it. Ordered 18oz 30 day prime steak to split with spouse (rare) and Iceberg wedge. Iceberg lettuce old with rust along edges and was all the yellow bitter inner-no green at all. Dressing and bacon on it were good. Steak was more medium, but very fatty, tough and gristly. It did have good flavor, but for,a supposed "aged" beef, it was like chewing a cheap cut. We all wished we had gone back to Brennan's our previous experience 2 years before."
    Dined on 12/27/2013
  • "Dinner was adequate but not exceptional. The oysters were great but the steak was nothing special"
    Dined on 12/24/2013
  • "It was your basic food, with a twist. Steak, pork chops, veal but cooked and delivered to you in a new and vibrant way. Excellent taste, cooked to perfection."

  • "great food, large portions, skilled waitress, relaxed and comfortable room."
    Dined on 12/24/2013
  • "There are not many steak houses in New Orleans open on Christmas, so we selected this one. The drinks were great and they give you a nice glass of wine. However, the steak was just fair. We ordered the 32 ounce "cowboy steak" for two. We are used to steak houses in the Northeast that serve the steaks plain (without a sauce) unless they clearly indicate otherwise. This steak was served in a wine sauce. The wine sauce was not bad but we would like to have been told about the sauce ahead of time. For some reason, they asked for additional identification when paying with a credit card."
