    Several items on the menu was not available. Some drinks and some beers were not available and our waiter was nice but we couldn’t understand what he was saying. Food was good.

    We had a great dining experience. I ate two chargrilled oysters and I am not an oyster eater, however the presentation was so inviting I tried them and they were good. My friend had the seafood salad with shrimp, crawfish and crab which she said was good but would have liked cucumbers, tomatoes and onions in the salad. I had the shrimp and catfish entree it was excellent very tasty and seasoned well. The heirloom potatoes were the bomb. Will definitely return.

    We stopped here on the way to our hotel from Preservation Hall. I have to say the jambalaya was tasty, but the catfish and shrimp basket was just average. The tartar sauce and cocktail sauce that was served with it were pre-packaged takeout condiments. Our server was lovely - we had the whole inside pretty much to ourselves, as others opted to eat in the courtyard area. OK overall, but there are many other options to choose from.

    The best red beans and rice I've ever eaten. I was surprised that they use packaged tartar sauce and cocktail sauce.

    We had a fantastic meal at New Orleans Creole Cookery! The food was absolutely delicious, and the courtyard dining was such a cool experience — peaceful, relaxing, and full of charm… until a parade marched down the street! But honestly, it just added to the New Orleans magic and made the night even more memorable. Our cocktails were top-notch, and the whole atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for. We’ll definitely be back!

    The food and service was fair. The FRUIT FLIES were relentless. It was a race to see who could get to the food first, them or you.

    Jordyn was an amazing server, very attentive and made our visit super pleasant. The food did miss the mark for the price.
