    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

    Host was completely inept at her job and can’t answer questions. Made rude comments about patrons in front of them. The restaurant ran out of prime rib even though the place is called bon ton prime rib. Also ran out of ice cream. We had to ask four times to get bread. When our baked potatoe was served the waiter was too busy talking to patrons and putting all different fixings on the potato instead of asking what we liked and therefore put stuff on the potato that we don’t like and had to return it for a new one. The steak was ok, not horrible but not amazing. Onion rings and wedge were good. For the cost of the food, the service should match which it did not. The management should just be ashamed and /or embarrassed that is the product they are serving. If you like spending money and being annoyed definitely eat here.

    We went on Christmas Day and they obviously overbooked. We had a 45 minute wait for our4:00 reserved table and we had my 98 yr old father in law on a walker waiting in the middle of the aisle. There was no other place to wait. If you want a lively, festive, loud place to eat, the Bon Ton was the place. It’s definitely not like in the old days, but for the young, it’s probably the happening place. Once we were seated, the service and food were pretty good- the prime rib was good and our crabmeat au gratin was good. We had the ice cream parfaits and that was fun. Valet service was a wonderful perk.

    Our service was wonderful but the food was just outstanding! We are so happy we enjoyed our Christmas dinner at Bon Ton! We all had the Prime Rib of course with a wedge salad, brussel sprouts, a baked potato and onion rings. We shared all the sides and they were delicious also. We would definitely visit again next time we visit New Orleans.

    Best meal we have had in New Orleans in many years. Food was outstanding and our waiter and servers were absolutely the best. What a very special lunch on Christmas Day. Couldn’t have picked a better restaurant. Prime rib, crab cakes, onion rings,brussel sprouts, and dessert. 10 out of 10 rating for everything!

    Everything about our experience was very enjoyable. Although we enjoyed the music selections, we found the music to be a little loud.
