This is my favorite restaurant in New Orleans. I have eaten here many, many times and I have never been disappointed. Highly recommend the brussels sprouts, the French 75, or anything that strikes your fancy.

I have to say I don’t understand all the bad reviews about this place. The food was excellent ( the hanger steak and gulf fish) and the service was lovely. I’ll definitely be back!

Tragic start to NYD considering the Bourbon St attack. Brennan’s opened late, we called to confirm our reservation too. Cindy & Sheldon were great. We went w/ Sheldon’s recommendations - Eggs Carpaccio (our fav), Oysters, Eggs St. Charles + Owen’s Scotch Egg. Definitely, we did the Banana Foster. The Musicians were a great addition. We had a better experience here vs Mr. B’s Bistro last night.

This was our first experience at Nobu New Orleans, but we’ve eaten at other Nobu restaurants before. The New Orleans restaurant lives up to the reputation established in other cities. Food was delicious and service was impeccable. Two negatives: a little too much noise from the casino and parking. We had to pay $40 to park in the garage after spending over $300 for dinner. Parking should be comped if you dine at the restaurant.
