    The food was flavourful with unique ingredient combinations and the drinks were quite tasty as well! The service was impeccable and the wait staff knowledgeable and helpful. The ambience was wonderful except for two young men at the table next to us using the F word as a matter of course but hard to get away from that these days. All in all a wonderful experience!

    Our shrimp boulettes were over fried (very dark) and under salted. Both our side of pommes boulangere and entree grit cake were also very under salted. Oysters and pork belly entree were very good. Figure it was just an off night but multiple items way under seasoned.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chemin à la Mer, and overall, it was a delightful experience. This cozy restaurant offers a diverse menu with tempting options like baked feta, foie gras, the grouper special, a ribeye, and the pork belly. In addition, their cocktail selection was impressive and added a touch of creativity to the dining experience. Let's start with the food. Each dish we ordered showcased the culinary expertise of the kitchen. The baked feta was a delightful combination of warm, tangy cheese and fresh herbs, perfectly complemented by a drizzle of olive oil. The foie gras was rich and decadent, a true indulgence for the taste buds. The grouper special was cooked to perfection, with a delicate yet flavorful sauce that enhanced the natural freshness of the fish. The ribeye, cooked to the requested temperature, was tender and juicy, bursting with savory flavors. The pork belly, with its crispy skin and melt-in-your-mouth texture, was a delicious highlight of the meal. It's evident that the chefs at Chemin à la Mer prioritize quality ingredients and culinary craftsmanship. Moving on to the cocktails, they were nothing short of impressive. The mixologists at Chemin à la Mer know how to create unique and flavorful concoctions. Each sip was a delightful journey of flavors and textures. Whether you prefer classic cocktails or innovative creations, their menu has something to please every palate. However, while the food and beverages were exceptional, I must note that the service fell slightly short of expectations. The staff seemed somewhat indifferent and lacked the warmth and attentiveness that one would hope for in a fine dining establishment. Although they did an adequate job, the service felt impersonal and didn't quite match the high quality of the food. In conclusion, Chemin à la Mer is a restaurant that shines in terms of culinary excellence. The dishes we tasted were exceptional, showcasing the skill an

    The moules and frites were meticulously prepared and danced on my tongue, while the divine and buttery sauce elevated my tastebuds to a realm they had yet to experience. The skirt steak, cooked to perfection, exuded tenderness and flavor that left an indelible impression. The service was stellar, and the entire experience has been haunting my dreams, beckoning a quick return.

    The food was fine but customer service was lacking. I realize it was a busy day, but the hospitality was non-existent from the moment we entered the hotel. Once to the restaurant, we were not greeted by anyone and had to stand at the host stand for at least 5 minutes before we were acknowledged. Overall, I would give the food 5 stars but the experience was definitely a 1. The icing on the cake was the valet running into a curb with my brand new BMW and damaging the wheel. Will I return? Probably not.

    We had a lovely dinner the evening we arrived in Nola. What a beautiful view of of the river. Sam greeted us warmly and sat us in a cozy booth inside as it was a bit windy for outdoor dining. Tracy our server was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations. We ordered the Baked Feta which which is maybe one of the best creations ever. Additionally we ordered the Filet Mignon and the Pork Belly both prepared perfectly. Sam was kind enough to check on us before we finished. We were sad as we had no room for dessert, hopefully we will have space next time!
