About this restaurant

  • Fancy
  • Great for live music
  • Romantic
Farm-to-table and authentic New Orleans cuisine come together in the French Quarter at M bistro, where the chefs take an indigenous approach to the preparation of meats, seafood and produce from farmers in Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama. Three velvet-draped semi-private “Cheater’s Booths” and a private Wine Room offer additional venues for a special meal.

Our restaurant and lounge are conveniently located on the third floor lobby level of The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans.

    Food was excellent along with the service. The location of the restaurant next to the lounge made the noise level a little loud.

    Wonderful Saturday evening dinner. our reservations were at 6:30 and the restaurant was quite slow at that time. It did get much busier by 8 o’clock. Wonderful live music going on in the bar next to the restaurant. it does make for some noise but nothing like the noise the music makes in other restaurants in New Orleans. would definitely go back

    entrees poor quality- both taken off bill. Drinks and appetizers great. Eat elsewhere.... very disappointing. As a local you get one chance. Guess why the restaurant was empty. Ritz Carlton should do better.

    It was just OK. My husband's $65 NY strip steak was overcooked and bland. The seafood gumbo was good. The redfish was pretty good, but nothing special.

    One should expect live music in NOLA, but one should not expect to pay top dollar for dinner and not be able to hear the people speaking at your own table. Ears ringing was about all you could hear. Service was also lacking. I understand that people need to gain experience, but we had shared plates brought out with no small plates to eat the food off of, we had 7 wine glasses that went unused never removed from the table (so I removed them), we had the server move our silverware and plates aside to put the tray on the table to serve us our drinks, we waited nearly 40 minutes to order, and we had our coffee brought out 20 minutes after dessert. The food was excellent, but I would never spend that kind of money again there.

    I took my sisters there for their birthdays. The staff was excellent. A special shout out to Luna who was very accommodating. The food was great and the music was a nice touch!

    Unfortunately, our Mother’s Day brunch at M Bistro fell short of expectations, especially given the Ritz-Carlton name and a bill close to $600. The food lacked freshness and flavor, and overall, the experience did not reflect the level of quality and attention to detail one would anticipate from this brand. A missed opportunity on what should have been a special occasion.

    We chose M Bistro because it is walking distance to the Saenger Theatre. It’s great if you are staying in the hotel but it is not a destination restaurant. We found it just okay so we will not return. It is a hotel restaurant which means it is below par for New Orleans restaurants.

    Had a fabulous server - Pamela who made us all feel like VIPS. The food was great and her recommendations were spot on. We told her we were nurses and she provided our dessert on a special plate decorated in chocolate saying we love nurses.

    M Bistro has never failed in meeting expectations! While it’s not right on the street lime other places, it’s absolutely worth the effort to eat here!
