   Unfortunately we made the mistake of dining on Memorial Day. From what our server told us the kitchen wasn't prepared at all for the business and ran out of just about everything. I was told on 5 different occasions that they were out of something I ordered. I finally ended up just settling on something just because it was all they had. No oysters, out of 4 of the 6 fish on their fresh catch menu, etc... On top of that the service was less than stellar. For the price I feel like their are a lot of better options in the greater New Orleans area for seafood and a worthwhile experience. Never saw a manager the entire time we were at the restaurant. It was our second time giving them a shot and we probably won't make that mistake again.

   We requested a window seat had to tell the host 3 times a window seat. Everything we wanted to order was out so we left and went to a restaurant down the street.

   The food for the price so-so. Service was good. We went for the location (felt safer) and view of the lake

   Everything was just a bit below par. The hostess was exceptionally kind and our reservation was honored, but our table was dirty, the service was lacking; and the dishes and drinks were lacking.

   Marco is a professional waiter; he was great. The Raspberry Lemondrop was delicious. The gumbo and the entrees were not temperature hot. The shrimp and fish were not tasty. I enjoy the Landry’s Select Club app for the $25 birthday gift but otherwise we wouldn’t come back.

   It was like an afterthought by everyone working. If you are looking for unique, this is not it. Cookie cutter without flare or flavor.

    Landry’s is a great place to eat outdoors when it’s nice out and you want a view of the harbor/lake. I honestly wouldn’t go to the other location since there are better food options around, but the lake location is nice because of the atmosphere. Servers were very nice. Food was good. Loved splitting zucchini app and pasta with my husband. We were bummed that happy hour was only at the bar…

    I have been to Landry's on the Lake Front on numerous occasions mostly for the views. The food generally is "acceptable." Regrettably, I went one time too many. We ordered corn & crab bisque, and cedar plank salmon. The soup was a darker shade of brown and didn't look freshly made, but it was edible. It wasn't served hot. We weren't finished our soup before the salmon arrived--much too soon for it to have been freshly prepared. I had never seen salmon that was all white before. When I went to take a bite, it was so dry that it crumbled like a piece of cake. We sent it back and ordered the seafood platter. The fish on the platter came out hot and reasonably tasty. The fried shrimp were dry (butterflying small shrimp didn't help) and had no taste--obviously frozen. The fried oysters were okay, except the bigger ones were mushy because they weren't cooked long enough. The french fries were dry and cold and uneatable (so easy to get right if anyone cared in the kitchen). The manager came over when we returned the salmon and proceeded to explain why the salmon was actually good, it was just prepared in a different way than the other 100+ times I've had cedar plank salmon. By the way, the plank of wood had no marks like it was cooked over a fire or even in an oven. It tasted like a freezer-burnt piece of fish that was partially cooked hours before and then heated in the microwave. Apparently, they had the janitor filling in for the chef that night. To top off the evening, the manager never came back to check if the replacement meal was adequate. I'm a management consultant by trade, so only go to Landry's if you don't care about the quality of your food and how it's prepared.

    Very satisfying evening. Our helper Maya was outstanding, considering she was working on Easter Sunday. All five of us enjoyed every thing we ordered. We were really glad we chose Landry’s to spend a beautiful Sunday evening.

    The food and service were really, really bad. We were told by a local not to go to Landry's, but ended up going anyway. The one thing we went for they were sold out of. The food was completely flavorless, bland and cold. Every meal in New Orleans was incredible - except Landry's. Save your money and do not go to a chain restaurant.

    Table of seven. Mediocre food was was overpriced. The locals tried to steer me away, but I checked with them about their ability to handle gluten free food and was assured they could accommodate me. They screwed that up, even though I KEPT checking. They finally said I couldn’t have, what I KNEW I couldn’t have. The manager said it was safe, then they finally checked with the chef and the chef said no. The only reason I knew is because the gf menu specified white rice - they gave me “dirty rice”. The poor waitress kept forgetting drinks, a salad, to go boxes, probably more. The drinks alone were frustrating enough. $20 for one mediocre crab cake is insane. There are so many good restaurants. I can’t believe this one hasn’t stepped up their game yet. The only thing going for them is location. I should mention, the server was very nice, just terribly forgetful.

    Our server Heidi was exceptional and provided superb service. The manager (I believe his name was Chris) was very nice and helpful. He checked on us numerous times to make sure that we were receiving the best service possible. The food never disappoints. Thank you both for the experience and we will definitely return again while visiting New Orleans.

    The evening and meal was great! The star was the crab cake! My spouse said I had a moment after the first bite. Of I lived closer I would go at least once a week just for that crab cake. Kelt our waiter was great and it was a nice quiet evening. Now my spouse would say not as quiet as it could be due to one guest who was a loud speaker. But, even she could not get my attention away from my crab cake!
