Diner Reviews
  • "No staff to greet us at restaurant, we actually had to go to hotel desk to be seated. Restaurant was small and deserted, we were the only patrons. Limited wine menu. Wait staff did not know menu well as menu indicated two sides with entrees but would only allow us to order one. Limited menu and did not have any softshell crab for one of the pastas. The entrees were well seasoned. Limited dessert menu and cheesecake was a no-bake that tasted like it was straight from JELL-O."

  • "We knew we'd be arriving late in New Orleans, with a short time window to have dinner before theatre at the Saengar. So, we made a reservation at the restaurant in our hotel(The Saint). Beautiful place, interesting menu, easy walk to show. What could go wrong? Everything! Despite telling our waitress we wanted to order quickly, we waited 40 minutes for barely-edible food, which I suspect was prepared offsite. Like banquet fare...far below New Orleans standards. Not tempting at all. Still love the hotel, but there's a mcDonalds across the street, I'd recommend."

  • "It was just ok. Fine for a bite before a show at the Saenger, but don't go with high expectations because they will be miserably crushed."

  • "Service was awful! We were the first table seated on a Saturday night, at 730 we left to make our show with no food!"

  • "After a long day of sightseeing in NOLA, we just wanted to grab a bite to eat at our hotel. We were apprehensive because no one was there. We decided to give it a try anyway. Much to our surprise, we enjoyed a dinner that ranked with any we had throughout the area. We chose the dinner for two option ($50) with appetizer, 2 entrees, dessert & 2 glasses of wine. The oyster app. was fantastic !!! Our entrees were just as fabulous, double cut pork chop & catfish. Cheescake & cobbler for dessert. The staff was very attentive and the chef even came out to explain the menu and offer his suggestions. If you're looking for a quiet dinner place without all the tourist hype, give Tempt a try."

  • "We were very disappointed in this restaurant. The menu was far from adventurous. My wife and I had a difficult time choosing something that sounded interesting. We started with the fried oysters and Brussels sprouts. The oysters were good but very small. The Brussels sprouts were burned. The outer leaves were charred and almost inedible. My wife had the Shrimp and red beans for an entree. The shrimp were over cooked and the beans were over spiced. I had the ribs with sweet potatoes. The ribs were ok. The sauce was sweeter than I like. The sweet potatoes were good. All in all the food was worse than anything that we cook at home."

  • "This one is really tough. There are times that you walk into a restaurant and you can just see the incredible opportunities that aren't fully realized. The food was pretty good. The cherry tomato salad and duck confit were solid. The pork chop dish was a bit dry. The service was hit or miss. I'd love to see them pull this restaurant together. They have a neat vibe and ambiance but it's lacking in substance. Sort of an "all hat, no cattle" production. Kudos to the adjoining Burgundy Bar however. Great music on Thursday and Friday night."

  • "Food was okay.... skirt steak was good,but luke warm.... Flounder was okay... Gumbo was NOT gumbo it had kale in it and tasted like a chili. The service was good but, we were the only people in the whole restaurant . It is a very pretty place nicely decorated. We went to the bar after and they had the "Yat Pack" playing and they were good , we enjoyed that."

  • "Wait staff was slow. There was no one else in the restaurant on a Saturday night which should have been an indicator of how terrible their food was going to be. Out of 8 people, no one enjoyed their food. We had to send back our drinks because they were made wrong. The hostess attempted to also be the bar tender. Its a shame how bad this place was."

  • "It had been over a year since I'd eaten at Tempt and beign that it was so delicious the first time I decided to try it again. Even after a year the food, service, and atmosphere was still very impressive. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that enjoys great food that teases you palate. A wonderful dining experience."

  • "One of the most attractive new restaurants in NOLA in last several years but they are still trying to find a niche for their food. We were the only table from arrival to when we left so not developing a following yet. Menu a little too edgy for our tastes; we like trying different things but the unusual combinations of ingredients didn't appeal to us. Definitely review the menu before you go to be sure you see items you are willing to try. They really need to add some standard fare for guests who are not as adventurous."

  • "This was by far the worse resturant that I have ever been to in all of my domestic and international travels. The room was cold and harsh. The service was poor. And the food was terrible. The gumbo was soupy without texture and over cooked. When searching a place for an evening dinner in New Orleans. I sought out the rating on open table. I was very diSappointed."
