Best Casual Restaurants in Bywater

Excellent food. So many things on the menu to try. Definitely worth the trip out from the Quarter.

Another great evening and meal at BABs!! This is a regular stop when we’re in town and it was excellent again. Brought our older kids this time and they thoroughly enjoyed everything. Wonderful service and delicious meals. Haven’t had better octopus anywhere else!! We’ll be back!!

Great food! Wonderful service. A perfect spot to bring your kiddos along. Very family friendly. It was very loud in there though.

As always Antoine's was excellent. Antoine's is the #1 fine dining experience available anywhere in New Orleans, and it has never disappointed. My wife and I have been coming here for 27 years and have enjoyed each visit. The staff was professional, courteous, and easy to summon if we had a request for something. They have a pride in their establishment that comes across in their dealings with customers. Very few restaurants, even in New Orleans, can say that any longer. Russell and Roland were both consummate professionals and took exceptionally good care of us. And it was great to see Charles Carter again. Charles waited on us on our first visit 27 years ago and many times since, and has always made sure we're taken care of. The Reveillon menu dishes were prepared perfectly and were delicious as always. I was pleasantly surprised to see a NY Strip as a choice for the main course and both my wife and I received our steaks cooked perfectly. We even had a special request for dessert and it was handled with no problems. If you're coming to New Orleans, Antoine's is a must. How many restaurants can say they have been in business with the same family since 1840? I hope to still be around to enjoy a visit in their 200th anniversary year in 2040.

We felt transported to another exotic world. From Kelly’s service to the Coolinary meal and the ambience it was special. We will go again.
