DoubleDeuce: Great vibes, great staff, solid food...and a bit off the usual path, so you can find some calm and space if you need it.
Leah Pepper: The service is beyond slow. And if you are lucky enough to order food they will be out of that food. And they claim it takes 40 min to make fried chicken. Food that does come is disgusting.
Cody Lee: I stand behind this place 100%! Huge beer list, great drinks, amazing food & open late night! (Good luck finding something comparable)
Amanda Thau: The French 75 is pricey, but worth it. Ask if you can see the upstairs rooms with Mardi Gras gowns of years past.
Pam B.: A bartender saw us languishing in the crowded bar and took us through the dining room into an unmarked cocktail bar called Richelieu. Do that.
Gambit New Orleans: Stop in for a cocktail with bartenders Chris Hannah and Hadi Ktiri. The two were recently named in Gambit's 26 Craft Cocktail Bartenders You Should Know! Read more.

Luci Smethurst: Try the Sazerac- the oldest cocktail! And also very very strong (it's basically just whiskey)! Don't forget to do a room tour too!
Dan Burkarth: Best bar in the French Quartet! Back again soon. Shirley, the waitress, will take care of you!
Scott Evans: The Hermes Bar is not just for hermies. All can imbibe.

Sheptorious: As per recommendation from the acclaimed Mike M., get the Paneed Oysters appetizer, substituting extra oysters for the shrimp. The world will be your... amazing little sea creature.
Craig Trentecosta: St. Philip and chartres, not bourbon!
Stephanos Berger: And even if they call you to confirm your reservation, they will give your table for seven away - fifteen minutes overdue
