I have been to mofo twice in the last two weeks and was absolutely delighted. The food was excellent and I had the same server both times who was knowledgeable, competent and efficient. I did not feel it all rushed and he very much knew the menu and the wines. One of my new favorite places.!

This is the best Hard Rock Cafe in the world. As a longtime patron of the restaurant, I was impressed by the food, service, and hospitality. The manager, Shane, made sure that we were taken care of. We were even asked if we wanted to choose a few songs/videos for their playlist—pretty cool! The food was absolutely delicious as well. Our waiter, Amaury, was courteous and quick to keep drinks filled. Viva la NOLA Hard Rock!

OpenTable Diner

We had a wonderful experience. The space is very welcoming like going for dinner at a friend’s house. Impeccable service and both the cocktails and food were perfectly prepared. The onion soup is exceptional. Even though it was unbearably hot outside, the soup was still worth it! The shrimp and grits was an interesting presentation using grit cakes that were more manageable, creamy and soft. Avocado caprese salad, lightly dressed and perfect to let the taste of the heirloom tomatoes come through. Smash burger, nice crust loaded with flavor. No ketchup needed. Key lime pie for dessert was served as a tartlet with a graham cracker crust. Perfect ending. A great night out and a ferry ride back across the river with a very full belly.
