Spanish Restaurant · Bayou St. John · 30 tips and reviews
Elevine Berge: Lovely staff and wonderful little restaurant! Our food was great. Cold white almond soup a perfect start. Garlic shrimps sooo good bread to soak up the sauce is a must. Vinegar mussels. Seafood paella
Eater: Best Spanish food in town, but watch out for the bread: It’s not free, even though the servers will just keep bringing it as if it was on the house. [Eater 38 Member]
Gambit New Orleans: Ground almonds and grapes go into the traditional Spanish ajoblanco soup...http://www.bestofneworleans.com/gambit/five-chilled-soups/Content?oid=1868511

Troy Jowers: Have never had a bad dish here. Always fresh seafood and sushi. Just remember that soda refills are not free!
Thalia Ernawati: The best sushi place in town! Come visit us!!!
Allen Nguyen: While they have the best "hibachi" in town, they will nickel & dime you at every corner. Mind the little disclaimers here and there. Otherwise, really great hibachi.

Cajun and Creole Restaurant · French Quarter · 121 tips and reviews
Susan Wellford: Fantastic, upscale dinner in NOLA. The Chateaubriand is incredible! And try the Oysters Rockefeller. Not a fan of the fries, but no matter. This place is great!
Travel Channel: Tony Bourdain sampled the Oysters Rockefeller, a dish invented at Antoine's, which is the oldest operating restaurant in the United States. Read more.
Brian Schaffer: Avoid going here. While the food may be good, the service is awful; not even close to what it used to be. Just go to Commander's Palace instead.
