    Enjoyed our dinner at Mr. B's but mostly for nostalgia. Was in from out of town and hadn't been there in many years. The service and ambience were great. I though the food was good but not great. My husband had the fish which looked good. I had the shrimp and grits which were lacking in flavor. The grits were lukewarm, and the shrimp were nothing special. The bacon wrap was very chewy. Had the pecan pie for dessert. It was good but not memorable. Expect better in New Orleans.

    Very popular place, reservations are hard to get. Food is innovative, even surprising, expertly crafted. Wines by the glass are a bargain in today's market. Evan was a terrific server/guide with spot-on recommendation. We will return.

    Excellent, as expected! We ate at Mr B’s over a decade ago when we came to run the Rock n Roll marathon. This was the first place we booked when we knew we were coming back to visit. We had the seafood gumbo, garlic truffle fries, BBQ shrimp, seared scallops, and soft shell crab and finished with the chocolate salted caramel cake. Delish!!! What we really love about Mr B’s food is that not only is it fabulous (then and now) but you feel satisfied without it feeling heavy. After all that food we could have left and run another marathon right after! The service was awesome! We were greeted warmly and seated right away. Our server Rah was attentive, fun, and funny! Just a great night! This will always be our fave when visiting NOLA!

    This is one of the places we never fail to visit whenever we’re in New Orleans. It’s one of my favorites. I love the supper club atmosphere. The food is always amazing. I had the pork chop and my companion had the red snapper; both were very delicious!  the service was efficient and friendly.
