    Everything was great. Our favorites were the Cesar salad, the crab cakes, onion rings and the crawfish Mac n cheese.

    The prime rib was overdone , and we had to send back twice. I do not recommend this place for prime rib. The steak looked good and the onion rings were good. There are much better places to eat in New Orleans.

    The food was delicious and our server Antonio took great care of us. The entire family agreed it was one the best meals that we have had together in a long time. Highly recommend the prime rib and butter cake!

    So our reservation was at 8pm and we arrived at 7:55pm. It took well over 20 minutes for us to get seated despite the reservation. I understand the restaurant was busy and the hostess was trying her best. Management did nothing. I informed the waitress to bring this to the attention of management and no management came by to address this issue. No we apologize for the delay or anything. In fact I did not see anyone from management walking the floor considering the higher end type restaurant. That being said the wedge salad was good with tons of blue cheese. The bon ton oysters were really good and decadent but definitely eat with bread. The prime rib was good but not the best we’ve had. It did not come out hot and barely warm. The fresh horseradish was a good touch as was individual au jus containers. The Mac and cheese was also very good. This restaurant would have gotten a higher review but for the lack of any management acknowledgment.

    Second time here. Brought the family and it did not disappoint. Went home stuffed and happy with leftovers that may have even been better the next day!

    Everything was wonderful! The only complaint was our server oversold us on what we ordered. We were going to order two Bon Ton cuts for 6 people. We read the review in the Gambit and decided that would work for our table. The server strongly suggested that would not be enough . We decided 2 people to a Bon Ton cut and ended up having plenty of leftovers. It would have feed 3-4 people with all the salads and sides that we haven gotten. With that said, it was very good and will go back. The Salad wedge was excellent. Also the crawfish mac and cheese and roasted Brussels sprouts.

    Excellent. We were seated at our reserved time, in spite of it being a very busy night 12/25 to dine out. The staff was warm and welcoming from the minute we arrived until we exited the restaurant. Our meals were prepared and presented in a timely manner and exceeded our expectations. I had a prime rib, my husband chose a filet, and the side dishes were just as delicious. 10/10 Highly Recommend
