Overall I would say disappointing. Loved the atmosphere and decor. The waitstaff pushed up sale options. Said they would offer a second egg on one of their egg benedict options because I was gf. That didn't happen. Overall not memorable and I wouldn’t recommend it based on price and value. Nor on the food itself.

Pros: -Our server, Nicole, was excellent! Not a bad thing to say about the service. -Ambience was amazing, such a fun date night / fine dining experience. -Shrimp Skully was amazing, definitely the star of the show. Cons: -While my filet was cooked medium, it was a bit tough. Not as tender as I would expect a $40 steak to be.

Food was good as always. Drinks were hit-or-miss, which is odd for Ralph's. Our server was pretty surly throughout the night so I don't think we'll be back. This used to be one of our favorites but it has lost its charm.

The food and service were fantastic. However, our small party of three was seated next to table of eight women. That table was so boisterous, we literally could not hear each other speak. Our meal was spent mostly in silence so that we didn't have to yell at each other. Although the food and service (thank you, Kate!) was excellent, our early celebration of Mother's Day was dampened because the ladies at the next table kept speaking louder and louder, one talking over the other. We finally got some peace at the end of our meal when their food was served.

Mother's Day Dinner for 6 adults. Service by Vicky was outstanding! Kind, did not rush us at all, just an overall great server. Menu is slim, but everything that was ordered was good. Chocolate Mousse could have a thicker brownie. Great place to have a wonderful dining experience.

We went Ralph's on the Park to celebrate the birthdays of 4 family members! Our experience was delightful form start to finish. Our server Corinne took extremely good care of us and made the birthday girls feel special. Our menus were printed with "Happy Birthday to ....." and listed each birthday girl's name at the top- what a nice touch! The restaurant even sent out a complimentary birthday dessert to each celebrant. The meal was delicious and we enjoyed every bite. Ralph's is a great place to visit for a special occasion- or any occasion!

After a pleasant walk in beautiful City Park we stopped at Ralph’s for lunch. The atmosphere was welcoming. The room was a bit loud but joyous. Our server, Adelle was cordial and attentive. The food was excellent. Adelle saw to our every need including making sure we had a taxi at the end of our visit for the ride back to the Quarters. We will definitely visit again on our next trip to the city.

I’m originally from New Orleans but my father was career army and then I was as well. My mother and my youngest sister still reside there so we were back in town visiting with them for a family vacation. I’ve dined at Ralph’s numerous times in the past and it is always good. In this particular time they seemed a bit overwhelmed although our server/waitress was very good overall. The food is usually fantastic; this particular time it was good some things were better than others the shrimp appetizer was actually amazing. I had the chicken it was OK. My wife and mother had a redfish they enjoyed it and my salad was good. Will definitely go back again and I recommended for people looking for a nice dining experience in New Orleans.

The menu is quite limited and static. Love the place but won’t be able to return as often because of the limited menu. Also didn’t like the service of the wedge salad in a bowl. Hard to cut.
