   Service was great as we were the only ones in there. Food was not very good at all. We both didn’t eat much of it.

   We found Laurel Oak unexpectedly while walking toward our hotel and we are happy we did! Both the service and the food were excellent. We ordered the BBQ Shrimp starter as well as the Burrata and they complimented each other well. The Shrimp was very rich and flavorful while the Burrata paired with pickled shallot and peppers was a fresh balance. My husband ordered the Duck entree while I had the Gnocchi and both were great. Would recommend!

   Really excellent French influenced restaurant, just outside the confines of the French Quarter in the Central Biz Dist. Food was really good, lots of flavor that appeals to a more refined pallet. The environment is fun and chic leading to great ambience. We will be back and highly recommend!!!

   The food is absolutely incredible. We didn’t leave anything on our plates. Staff was very friendly but our server was just very very new and it took a long time to close out. Would absolutely recommend it and we will be back.

   Some food was very bland and some had way too much pepper. Slow service, despite few people in the restaurant.

    If you’re looking for a quiet place, less crowds, and good service, this is the spot. It’s only a few blocks off Canal St. The food was very good. Definitely recommend it.

    Food was mediocre, the bbq shrimp was very chewy and the fish was tough. The best thing from the meal was the mash potatoes. The service was slow and there wasn’t anyone in the restaurant.

    Cocktails were good. Food was fine and has potential, but the service was overwhelmingly slow. The ambience is nice, but there were very few other patrons. The price point is too high for a subpar experience.

    Not sure if we hit a bad night but our poor waitress was clearly the only one waiting on the entire restaurant. Took over an hour to get our drinks. When the food arrived, all three courses arrived at once - nearly 2 hours later. The hangar steak was not a hangar steak. The duck fat fries were not cooked in duck fat. If you’re going to put something on a menu, it should be served as described. We’re local New Orleanians so our standards may be higher than the usual tourists. But you gotta train your wait staff better about the menu and time the arrival of dishes so it doesn’t all come out at once. And get the drinks out. That’s your money maker. We only had 1 drink each. Would have had more if service wasn’t so slow. You’ve got a beautiful venue. Don’t waste it by working mediocre.

    We had a lovely dining experience! From when we walked into the door we felt extremely welcomed and accommodated, our server john was so kind and helpful, and the chef himself even came out abad apologized for one of our dishes coming out a bit late (they were short staffed for the holidays so it was totally understandable.) Looking forward to our next meal at laurel oak!

    Everything was fine, but nothing was great. Was loud at times, but not for too long. Food temp was poor on appetizer. Took a while to get the mains out, but not so long that it was worth bringing up. Services was fine as well, no major complaints, but a little slow. The baked beans under the duck could have come from a can and didn't add much to the dish. Overall, it was fine, but probably won't go back.

    We didn’t like this place at all. They were out of many of the items and the cauliflower tasted like it was from a package and fried. The salad dressing was simply mayo not Caesar. We couldn’t find the server to help us. Two of the items never made it to the table and we just cancelled it. We both ended up with stomach issues that evening and several days afterwards. I wish we were refunded our money.

    Four of us sat down last night for a nice meal. The appetizers were very delicious and I’d recommend all of them. The only issue was my steak and my friends duck, which were both recommended so we ordered both. The steak came black and blue, while the duck was raw. Definitely not what I was expecting after waiting 2 hours for my entree.

    My boyfriend and I tried this place for my first trip to New Orleans. We stayed at the Magnolia so it was super convenient being inside our hotel. John was our server and he was kind and personable. He ensured we enjoyed all of our food. Everything tasted great and arrived in a timely manner. We tried a variety of things but our top favorites were the Hush puppies and gumbo. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a tasty clean meal. The ambiance was also enjoyable here. We will be back in the future. Thank you for the service and experience :)

    They are super understaffed. One waitress for the entire restaurant. Not her fault. But her attitude was less than stellar. It was our first time there (and last) and we weren't told about the menu at all. The food was subpar. Super disappointed overall.

    Mushrooms are amazing! Fries are crisp and perfect. Salad perfectly dressed! Hush puppies were just a lot of cornbread…not much else. Cornbread was more cake like than cornbread…and the blue corn was not as flavorful. Cauliflower saved the day as well as the main dish of seasoned veggies. Steak was absolute melt in your mouth!!!!

    Service was friendly and prompt. Noise level was low because we were one of very few couples there. Food was interesting, but disappointing in execution. Gnocchi was mushy. Crispy cauliflower wasn’t crispy but had very good flavor and came in a huge bowl. Husbands redfish was good, but a little overdone. Hush puppies were tasteless, but the dip for them was very tasty.

    Delicious. Visiting from out of town and found this gem. The team was super accommodating to my dietary restrictions. The standouts— the service, the cocktails (old fashioned and spiked tea), fish entree w leeks, the side dishes (potato salad, hush puppies). Would go back next time we’re in NOLA.

    There was no host or hostess so staff were expected to greet guests. A few people looked very confused upon entering as no one was available to greet. The restaurant is beautiful, was surprised at the two TVs in the bar area, in the middle of the restaurant, with sports and a cheesy Vince Vaughn movie going. Service was uneven. Chef came out for allergy consultation which was highly appreciated. The meals were delicious but I’m not sure we will be rushing back.
