Restaurants near New Orleans Folklife And Visitor Center

We had 6p reservations for our 50th anniversary dinner and arrived early.. we decided to get a drink at the bar ( which was full and busy) took along time to be noticed by the busy bartenders and finally just before our dinner time got noticed and ordered our drinks. We were lead by our hostess June to a cosy booth and the table was decorated for our celebration dinner. We then were greeted by our server Sonya who was fun, efficient and attentive.. she and the “biscuit man”made our dinner even more enjoyable! Our first bite was the delicious tempura fins wing… this was followed by our entrees the Scalibut a GW Fins original .. this was superb!! And for my husband the American Red Fish, he wanted to lick his plate and my tasting bite made me envious even though my dish was so good! We finished our meal with the Salty Malty ice cream dessert.. we did lick the plate !! Best ever dessert!! And chef sent out two chocolate treats on a decorated plate!! All our choices were guided expertly by Sonja our knowledgeable and entertaining server! All in all it was a delightful celebration at an exceptional restaurant!!💕

We had a lovely evening at Muriel’s. The service was excellent. My husband and I had the three course dinner. All the food was very good. My pecan crusted fish was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and creative. After our meal we were told that we could access the second floor bar. We enjoyed the ambiance and go great photos from the second floor balcony. Highly recommend!

Brennan’s is always a good choice for brunch! The dining area started off quiet… but got a bit noisy towards the end. I wish there was better noise absorbing surfaces to help manage the noise levels… my 70+ Father who joined my husband and I for brunch really struggled to hear us and had to keep adjusting his hearing aides to be able to try and enjoy our conversations… The food and service did not disappoint! I had the Crab & Avocado toast with a poached egg on top, my husband had the Duck Confit Hash and my father had the Eggs St. Charles. All were very good! We ordered the Brabant Potatoes for the table…. And as always they were out of this world!!! The coffee was brewed to perfection and the service was impeccable… overall a great meal, just a little noisy.

Had a wonderful meal - took the fish recommendation from the server for the win - and the pork chop was great. Atmosphere was the most holiday cheer we have seen yet. Worth going to for dinner or even just a taste at the bar. Great stop!

Our server, Becky, was incredible. She was so polite and patient and attentive. We had such incredible food and incredible service. We lived in the New Orleans area for 8 years and never made it here before now, as we're back visiting after almost a decade. It's very sad we didn't make it here when we lived in the area, but when we come back, Antoine's is now a non-negotiable. Thank you for a delicious meal and an incredible experience.
