    Food and service were impecable. Enjoyed an early lunch with my family and everyone was blown away by everything. Roasted brie, filet, ribeye and asparagus were all incredible. Cheesecake and bread pudding were spectacular. Nice view over the river.

    I had a great time. My steak was a little cold but maybe they were busy due to the Super Bowl. I loved the complimentary drinks due to the wait even though I had a reservation. Took a little over an hour to get 1 steak, lob tail, and gumbo. I will dine again.

    We are from here and wanted to have a delicious dinner with a view for my nephews birthday. The oysters were scrumptious, the chocolate bomb was nice and the mashed potatoes were whipped perfectly but everything else was mid to disappointing. Steaks, meh, duck over cooked and sides really boring. Even the menu is a bit of a bore. The whole experience came across as a mid range hotel dinner at exorbitant prices.

    Great setting! Beautiful restaurant in great location. Happy hour oysters are worth it, especially in this setting. The dishes were all interesting and good. The menu is solid. Nothing crazy creative, but a safe and dependable selection of dishes. Wine list is extensive. Desserts were great.

    Tucked within the opulent confines of the Four Seasons Hotel in New Orleans, Chemin à la Mer offers a culinary experience that's nothing short of sublime. My meal began with a ribeye, cooked to absolute perfection—succulent, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Alongside, I enjoyed Pommes Purée, so creamy and smooth it could easily be mistaken for a work of art. To cap off the evening, I indulged in a sour cream cheesecake paired with a rich, aromatic coffee. The dessert was divine, a perfect balance of tangy and sweet. What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service and the enchanting ambiance. Seated with a breathtaking view of the mighty Mississippi River, the atmosphere was both elegant and serene. It was a dining experience that not only satisfied my palate but also left a lasting impression on my heart. **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)** If you're seeking an unforgettable meal in New Orleans, Chemin à la Mer is a destination that should not be missed. Bon appétit! 🍽️✨
