Pia WilsonApril 1, 2018The food here is delicious, and the service is even better. Had the Filet du Poisson Gulf Pontchatrain. Flaky, buttery, and the crabmeat was flavorful.The bread pudding for dessert was outstanding!
Kelsey AndersonNovember 26, 2014Have the Oysters Rockefeller and make sure you request a tour after your meal. Our waiter Alvin was great and took his time giving us the tour and the history of the building.
Arun NandiSeptember 5, 2014Sit at the bar and listen to the bartender'a stories about the history of absinthe or most other drinks. Very well read and travelled guy.
Nelson V. GuevaraMay 12, 2019Since 1840 this New Orleans Ivón is been serving amazing food. I would try the oysters Rockefeller, the alligator bisque is to die for, The Sazerac cocktail is amazing.
Fluying ✅February 2, 2019If looking for an experience dessert, nothing can go wrong with cherries jubile (brandy flames cherries with ice cream). Just prepare you phone to film it.
- Doug WMay 9, 2017Oldest restaurant in the US, 177 years and still the original family. Kinda pricy but the food is great and worth it for the history. Make sure to check out the wine cellar.
- Buford DouglasMarch 15, 2019Est. 1840. Created Oysters Rockefeller in 1899, which were named after John D. Rockefeller, then the richest man in the world, as the dish was promoted as the richest dish in the world.
Nick BuzinskiOctober 19, 2017Great soup, duck, and bread pudding in the fall '17 prix fixe lunch. Tour after the meal was nice, awesome to see the still-sealed vintage liquor collection.
William NewmanOctober 8, 2018Most amazing service I have ever had in a restaurant, water glasses were always full. Food was very good and even though we were a large group they served us quickly and at the same time.
Lauren LaneDecember 30, 2011The most beautiful and historic restaurant in the city. Ive been coming for 22 years. Ask for James...same waiter for my family for 26 years. Get oysters foche and Rockefeller. Trout with crab is divi
ISC Chicago1 week agoOysters Rockefeller (Baked with Rockefeller sauce created in 1899 by second generation chef and proprietor Jules Alciatore)
Maximum BurgerJanuary 25, 2018Outstanding service, decor and great room for private parties. Wedge salad (Roquefort) good but bleu cheese was heavy; grilled corn (mais) WAY too salty. Shrimp remoulade and desserts were great.
Doris HuMarch 15, 2015Great food. Decent service. Ran out of bread at 8:30pm on a Monday night. You have to get the Baked Alaska. Make sure you let them know how many people are eating it because they adjust the portions.
NicoleSeptember 9, 2018Service is first class. Baked Alaska for 2 but more like 4. Went for Brunch on a Sunday & the menus was slightly different. Cool old school atmosphere and ask for a tour.
Stephen SandersAugust 30, 2013Awesome $20 three course lunch at this historic restaurant. There's nothing else like it in America. It's food and hospitality are remnants of a more elegant era.- Fluying ✅February 2, 2019Amazing restaurant, looks and feels as it has +250 of history, wait it has! Great service, ambient and food.

Susan WellfordAugust 8, 2014Fantastic, upscale dinner in NOLA. The Chateaubriand is incredible! And try the Oysters Rockefeller. Not a fan of the fries, but no matter. This place is great!
- GourmetLiveNovember 11, 2010Café Brulot Is the epitome of this restuarants old-world, over-the-top grandeur. A server ladels flmaing brandy-spiked coffee down a spiral of orange zest into a silver bowl heated by a ring of fire.
- Derek FlanzraichJune 10, 2018Food is great, place is epic. Definitely don’t miss the restaurant tour after you’re done— ask your waiter!
