   Excellent dinner, would particularly recommend the BBQ shrimps, the oysters and the cochon de lait. Less convinced by the scallops.

   It was an easy brunch option. There weren’t too many people, the food was great, the drinks were great and the service was great.

   Outdoor seating under a permanent roof for Sunday brunch was wonderful and not crowded. Food was excellent, but service was a little slow. Disappointed that they piped in recordings of jazz music rather than let us hear the live jazz band performing inside.

   Noise level in restaurant was so overwhelming one could barely hear the jazz group. Although the music was piped to outside dining area, it was barely audible. Outside dining area was dark and lacking in ambience. Food portions were rather small for the price. Shrimp and grits barely had any grits. Crab Benedict had nothing else on the plate, no breakfast potatoes, not even a garnish. Mussels came out of their shells in a glass. Weird and not very appealing. Service was good but cannot recommend Dauphine’s.

    Beignets were WAY too small. Or serve 4 instead of three so they can be shared with someone.

    Dauphines would be a 10/10 if the menu was just a little more affordable. Apps, drinks, and dessert (in addition to your main) will bring you to $100+ per person after tax and tip. I shared the $85 duck creole (for 2) with another diner and we each only received one small slice of duck. For $40+ each I was expecting much more. Other than that, full marks. It’s got a great vibe and delicious food. Our server Alex was awesome.

    Swordfish dish was unappetizing. Scallops entre was ill-conceived (almondine didn't prove to be a successful combination). Desserts were ordinary. Service was pleasant but decidedly slow.

    Lovely new place with very good food. It's New Orleans themed, not trying to replicate but do a take. I'm from New Orleans and i like the concept. My Sazerac was excellent, the bartender knows what he's doing. Not sure the take on my barbequed shrimp was as good as the traditional, as the sauce was a bit thick and too barbeque-y for my taste and made more of a mess peeling the shrimp. The staff were trying hard but a bit green, expected with the pandemic labor issues. I had to ask for an extra napkin and bowl for the shells, but a wonderful young waiter leapt to it (and darn i can't remember his name). Other meals - oyster spaghetti and scallops - were very much enjoyed, and we'll be back.

    A beautiful space and delicious food. It was surprisingly busy for a Sunday evening, but we were well taken care of. One side order was missed, but brought out later and comp'd - we were plenty full and didn't mind. Starters, bread, entrees, dessert, and cocktails were all very well crafted. Interesting take on New Orleans standards and portion sizes were big enough - not pretentiously tiny and fussily plated nor belly-bustingly large. Would definitely return for the ambiance and the food.

    Server brought out a dish with eggs on it when we clearly stated the guest had a severe egg allergy and asked for the dish without it. Live band was very loud and hard to have conversations.

    Love the New Orleans vibe in here with the jazz performance during brunch! We were celebrating my mom’s birthday and she really loved the energy at the restaurant. The ambiance was everything and I found myself looking around the entire time taking it all in - from the live plants covering every corner or the restaurant, to the raw bar near our table, to the jazz players in front of the restaurant. The food was also very tasty, especially the bread basket and my crab benne and the fresh squeezed OJ. Some of our food did come out cold though and we did have to ask for one of our food orders a few times before we received it. Beyond that, everything was terrific.

    Waitstaff and drinks were outstanding. Some dishes were exceptional and others were all good. The beignets were small and doughy and we needed more butter for the bread service. Overall it was a great experience and we’ll certainly be there again and recommend to friends. Also, we missed the pralines at the end of this last visit.
