Redemption - NOLAWhat a wonderful surprise!Dined on a Sat. for brunch. Food was very good, service outstanding, which is a rarity these days in any restaurant in any city, ambiance perfect.

Food was great and different recipes like the flash fried avocado with shrimp romalaude was absolutely fab! Wonderful waiter and the owner even came over to greet us.what more could you ask for.6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMA table for 8Our group of 8 visiting NOLA from Boston loved Redemption. The renovated church is a wonderful space and provides a noise level that accommodates conversation (unlike so many other New Orleans restaurants). Interesting treatments of classic dishes come from the kitchen. Don't miss the smoked crab or the mascarpone filled crepe. Service was exceptionally efficient and Brian knew the menu very well. It was a charming ride from the Quarter on the Canal Street trolley and a short block's walk to the restaurant from there. Highly recommended!!5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMwork lunchHad a business meeting and this hit the spot - again!!! Now I have been here more than a few times and it is always over the top - which is great in my books. Keeep it up!!!5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMOur brunch at Redemption wasOur brunch at Redemption was fantastic! The smoked salmon and crab cakes were delicious.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good service - knowledgeable,Very good service - knowledgeable, polite, and attentive. They offered a nice selection of food choices and all of it was delicious. Unique setting in an old church and plenty of room. We weren't crammed on top of each other at all. We would definitely visit it again next time we're in NOLA!5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day TreatGreat dining experience -- wonderful food, service, and atmosphere. Easy to find and ample parking. Very nice for a special occasion or just anytime.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMBefore Redemption, it wasBefore Redemption, it was called Christian's. Redemption has taken the staples of New Orleans food (shrimp, gumbo, etc.) to an enhanced level of taste. It was a nice surprise, especially since it was for Mother's Day. Can't go wrong anytime at Redemption.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMwonderful but want moreThe food was very good, but I wish they would give you a little more. I felt unsatisfied after my entree and it was so good that I really wanted more. All but one entree was like that. Also, they are a little skimpy with the sauces which is where some of the great flavors are. Service was wonderful. Loved the old church. Overall we had a great experience.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMA gem that's off the beaten pathI've been to Redemption three times during the past year, and the experience has been excellent. It's in an old church, which creates a very nice ambience. Last year we took our annual out-of-town Jazz Fest guests, and when they returned this year, Redemption is all they talked about.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMlunchWe went to lunch and had a great experience. Very good entree salads for two of us and our companion thoroughly enjoyed his pork dish. Wonderful service. Delightful atmosphere. Definitely a must do.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMCreative food preparationNew Orleans classics presented in style. Take soft shell crab and smoke it, then fry it perfectly and drizzle tasty sauce on it. Wonderful. Wait staff attentive and helpful. The former church creates a different setting and high ceilings eliminate noise. Look forward to returning.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat for all occasionsExcellent dining experience whether after work or a special occasion. The service was great and staff very helpful and friendly. The food and drinks were excellent. A totally pleasant experience.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMI went with fine dining prosI went with fine dining pros from Miami and we all loved the food. Unusual twists on some dishes that otherwise would have been good but not unusual. Dishes are new creations like not seen on any previous menu.
I have NEVER had such good and friendly service. Not just our server, but the bartender and even the manager got involved. It was Jazz Fest weekend and no cabs were available but not to worry - the manager and the bartender jumped in to take my extra friends (that didn't fit in my car) back down to the Quarter!! In all my years of fine dining all over the world I have never had such service and so much fun with the staff!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMEveryone needs to go to thisEveryone needs to go to this restaurant!
