   My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary with dinner at Café Normandie inside the beautiful Higgins Hotel in New Orleans and it was nothing short of epic, thanks to the incredible hospitality of the restaurant manager, Avery. From the start, the ambiance was lovely, and our waiter was friendly and attentive. We’re both big foodies (my husband is a chef), so we were excited to try the menu. The shrimp pasta looked amazing, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite hit the mark for us flavor-wise. We shared our thoughts with our server, who passed them along to Avery—and that’s when the experience went from good to unforgettable. Avery personally came to our table, listened to our concerns, and then went ABOVE AND BEYOND to turn the night around. He asked my husband what flavors he liked and then had the chef customize a meal just for him. And let me tell you it was absolutely phenomenal. The care, creativity, and attention to detail made us feel like VIPs, even though we weren’t expecting anything special. I ordered the redfish over spinach, and it was nothing short of mouthwatering. Perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. Avery turned what could’ve been a disappointing dish into a dining experience we’ll never forget. He embodies the very best of customer service, hospitality, and leadership. Higgins Hotel and Café Normandie, you have a star on your team!

   Our experience was late lunch. The servers seemed "disoriented", but there were only a few other diners. I ordered a draft beer that had something floating in it. I did receive another brand complimentary. The food was good and presented well. I would give them another chance.

   The service was good by the server, but our dietary needs clearly posed a problem for the chain of kitchen to table.

   We dined on Valentines Day and had a nice meal. They had a pre fixe 4-course menu, where each course selection was made up of a couple of dishes from their dinner menu. The good: Our 1st course (salted beet and goat cheese salad), and 2nd course (crispy gulf oysters) were amazingly good. The main course (6oz beef tenderloin) was ok - we were getting full at that point, but it didn’t wow us like the first 2 dishes. Dessert (which we took to go and enjoyed it the next evening) was a special lemon meringue pie - really quite good! So overall a nice meal. And it was also a pretty good deal - the pre fixe pricing for those 4 courses was definitely less than if we had ordered that off the menu. (Although, chances are also that we would not have ordered all 4 courses.) Also good - the staff seemed to be attentive to the customers and even brought a beautiful rose for my spouse at the end of dinner. And the space is grand and elegant to be in. I think that dinner service is relatively new for this restaurant. Generally just watching things around us, it has the feel of a place still figuring out their way. A few folks around us had issues; but I did observe the staff working hard to remedy or compensate for it. I would also say that it was a surprise (not advertised anywhere we could see) about the pre fixe menu. I do think we saw at least one party not stay, once they learned that. So - probably better to announce that vs catching people off guard. We enjoyed the food, but it was more food (and we spent more) than we were intending. Overall a pretty good experience.

   I definitely would not suggest again. The service and food was certainly not up to par for New Orleans
