Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Bywater

Sonia and Que were great! Sonia helped us pick out our menu for our group of seven and everything she suggested was on point! The cauliflower, ribs and meatballs were particular standouts as was the banana cream pie for dessert. Keep hiring great people who embody your brand. It makes a HUGE difference.

First time visiting New Orleans with my partner. Lovely restaurant. Our server, Michael, was knowledgeable of the details, handy with recommendations, and an all around solid professional. Kitchen team seemed really locked in, space was clean, the menu is tight, food is focused, presentation is elegant without being overambitious or pretentious. We had: Hungarian white wine (outstanding) A sample of a lightly effervescent basque white (great btg) Some clever fat washed Amaro, solid espresso, and a good espresso martini (my partner's preferred after dinner indulgence) Arancini (caviar is such a good addition, though they stand on their own) Meatballs (well made, clean flavor, succulent) Oysters (fantastic deal, great sourcing) Octopus (bold flavors, super tender) Hazelnut cheese tart (you're missing out if you don't do it) Shrimp cavatelli (easily one of the most dynamic sauces, really intriguing name, great job from Michael being on point with elaboration) Lasagna (solid construction while still feeling light, well presented, delightful smell, big and bold) Olive oil cake (love the salt, the cake is so light and easy, arguably my favorite kind of cake, kudos) I never review anyone, but I felt compelled. Weve been dining around the US for about three and a half years together now, here to relax and have a good time and celebrate our new (yesterday) engagement. This is the kind of place I love going, would love to work at or would seek to emulate in a number of ways if I ever get around to opening anything. Only regret is I forgot to ask for a dinner and dessert menu, we collect and will frame or scrapbook the best ones. Good food is an impermanent memory, its a nice way of appreciating where we've been, celebrating love, life and being happy. You guys are awesome, this place is a delight. Can't thank you enough! Heading to your sister restaurant tomorrow morning, incidentally. We pick well! Full tonight, off to bed happy. Cheers

I’ve was in NOLA in October and had my first experience at Briquette. Came again and had to return for the Creole Gumbo! It’s excellent. Also had the shrimp pasta and loved it. The ambience is perfect. Sydney was fantastic and made the evening special!

Fantastic service and great food! Original pita bread made in house! Can’t wait to come back, will definitely be on our list to come back and visit!

The food was delicious. Our server was so friendly and funny. The restaurant was beautiful. I would recommend Public Service. We will be back
