This was my second time dining here. I would recommend it but I would advise about a few big problems we had. Our water was to pre-occupied with his image and himself. My meal was prepared wrong, even after I expressed how important it was to have everything cooked right due to medical reasons. We did notice that most of the other staff was hustling. The bus boy was incredible at handling the whole room. I do believe our experience was not as pleasant as it could have been had we had a better waiter. We really love Galatoire's and have never had a bad experience in that side of the restaurant. I hope that waiter was just having a off day. More

We went to tea for my daughter’s 8th birthday at the Ritz. It was an overall lovely experience. She had a great time. The service was phenomenal. They went above and beyond to ensure she had a great time and to help my handicapped mother who joined us. Special shout out to Kelly!! The food ranged. The savory food was great as were the scones. Sadly the desserts were least tasty. Ambience was very nice except that it was SO COLD that it made us want to leave sooner than we otherwise would have. I think I would go back for a special occasion but I hope the dessert improves. More

We loved Little Gem Saloon. My sister and I went to the show Friday that featured Quiana Lunell and we enjoyed her show so much that we went back Saturday night to see Kermit Ruffins. The service, staff, food, and the ambiance were top notch. When we returned Saturday, the servers and even the owner recognized us from Friday night. Everyone was so friendly. They make you feel right at home, like family. We’ll be back next year. More

Corner Oyster House is located in the heart of the French Quarter. Whether you are out with friends during the day or starting a night of fun it is a great place to stop for drinks and a menu that is full of Cajun and Creole cuisine. Relax and watch the game on one of the 16 flat-screen TVs while snacking on items like the Game Day Platter that is filled with Cajun wings, onion wings, fried pickles, mozzarella sticks and jalapeño poppers or an order of blackened shrimp nachos or Quarter nachos. Corner Oyster House has an oyster bar that offers boiled shrimp, raw oysters and boiled crawfish.
The friendly sports bar atmosphere of Corner Oyster House is good for a family dinner. Enjoy the seafood platter, for example, which is a combination of fried catfish, Cajun popcorn shrimp, oysters and a stuffed crab or one of several po'boy sandwiches.

Gumbo is a New Orleans staple and here at Gumbo YaYa we’ve taken gumbo to an art form. Our location in the historic Jax Brewery building serves the very best of this Louisiana concoction along with a host of other culinary delights sure to please every palette.
Let’s start at the very beginning – our crafted Gumbos. Our namesake Gumbo YaYa is a mixture of gulf shrimp, oyster blue crab, chicken and andouille sausage. Choose from other scrumptious recipes like our 7-steak gumbo, Seafood and Okra gumbo, Duck and Andouille sausage and much more or, if you’re not in the mood for gumbo (and there may be a time) we have several other soups to choose from.
But Gumbo is just the beginning. Stick to your ribs entrees, Fried Seafood platters, AMAZING sandwiches and Po’ Boys are there for your pleasure. Add in amazing, down-home sides, a robust kids menu and desserts, desserts and more desserts and this will be the ONLY place you’ll want to stopMore
EVERYTHING WAS GREAT EXCEPT HAVING NO SEA FOOD AVAILABLE AT THE TIME WE ATE THERE. THE BRIGHTEST THING WAS OUR WAITER NAMED JERMAINE. HE IS A GREAT ASSET TO THIS RESTAURANT. WITHOUT HIS EXPERTISE OUR FIRST VISIT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A DUMPSTER FIRE. More

Discover French Quarter
The French Quarter of New Orleans is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the U.S., renowned for its party atmosphere and delectable food. Creole and Cajun menu staples, including jambalaya, crawfish etouffee and gumbo are on the menu, but there are so many more tastes to sample in the French Quarter. Nestled on The Quarter's many side streets, you'll find many oyster bars and quaint coffee houses. You can also visit one of the many corner grocery stores, most of which feature small kitchens in the back. These hidden gems typically serve up delicious cheeseburgers, homemade mac and cheese, and the two most famous sandwiches in the Big Easy: muffulettas and po boys. For dessert, you can grab a freshly made beignet or authentic praline and take a walk along the banks of the Mississippi River.
