    Food was amazing - get the mushroom toast & red beans and rice. Our server, Ryan, had amazing recommendations for both the menu and other local places in New Orleans. 10/10 recommend.

    Unfortunately the place disappointed everyone at the table. Apps were good but the entrees ALL fell way short. Go elsewhere…any one of his (Shaya) other restaurants will work.

    The food was good, but the portions on the entrees were small for the price. It was very expensive for what you get. We are glad we tried it once, but we wouldn’t go back.

    This was a horrible experience. Shocking that it was a Four Seasons affiliated restaurant. This isn’t the first time we’ve encountered poor service here. However, it is the first time we’ve encountered both poor service AND bland cuisine. We even pulled in the assistant manager, who was inept and incapable of dealing with the smallest of issues. The restaurant’s “mea culpa” was comping our group two appetizers - outrageous. We spent nearly a grand, as we always do. We will not be dining here again and recommend potential diners not waste their time or money. The dishes have been watered down. The service is equal to that of a chain restaurant - perhaps even worse. Never again. BEWARE!

    Restaurant was busy to full, and service was extremely slow. Waiting for water refills was slightly irritating. Server was super friendly, though. Wonder if they were just understaffed that night. Also had a nightmare trying to split checks which was eventually resolved. I will say the food was excellent. We had the chicken and dirty rice shared to the table. Had the BBQ shrimp and crawfish strudel apps. Everything ordered was excellent. That strudel blew me away. Couldn’t order a real entree after that because I was full. Cocktails were $22, and the flamed espresso martini was $30 which sounds absurd. Just keep in mind this is the restaurant inside of the Four Seasons hotel. Alon Shaya is one heck of a chef. I will recommend this restaurant for nicer occasions, but just maybe avoid touristy weekend such as Jazz Fest and Zurich Classic.
