Must get the ocean sauce!!! Eggplant parm is also delicious.
Seafood & sauces in a dark and tiny dining room above a dive bar on Frenchmen. Doesn’t take reservations & is cash only. Service sometimes sucks. But this place is still awesome. [Eater 38 Member]
Worst service I've ever encountered. Waited two hours only to be turned away? Amateur move by an amateur owner - way to treat your clients. These guys are chumps.
The veal tagliatelle, chicken soup & tiramisu are to die for!!! Also make sure you try the house made limoncello!!
Great food, great wine, great service but for the best service have Michael Compagno wait on you.
Corn Crab bisque is to die for! EAT the bowl =)
Loved everything we tried and pretty sure we would have loved everything we didn't try. Market salad, gnocchi and pulled pork biscuits all amaaaazing. The virgin suicide was a great drink too...
"Patois customers especially rave about dishes like fennel-crusted panéed Mississippi rabbit, potato and crab gnocchi, and crispy pork belly with seared scallops." -Travel + Leisure on TripExpert Read more.
Try the Mississippi rabbit- prepared with pancetta, goat cheese and wild mushrooms. Read more.
Steamed mussles were delicious. Drinks fantastik (heavy pours). Soup excellent
Get the Kobe burger, it will melt in your mouth and change your life. All other food has lost meaning...
The Hawaiian fish is beyond delicious!
Outdoor seating is a must on good-weather days! Sandwiches are very good--side salad and side pasta salad were fantastic! Go here after a morning of exploring City Park.
Get the iced tea with a scoop of Italian Ice. I prefer the lemon.
Lobster Ravioli
Shrimp magazine is amazing! Also try deep fried softshell crab and my fave was the eggplant neopolean!
Don't eat for like a week before coming here, you're going to need the room

Great hole-in-the-wall Italian place a little off the beaten path. Calzones are fantastic! And the garlic bread is a great appetizer to start!
Spinach and artechoke dip was awesome! Read more.
The pizza is great, the service is excellent, and the Lemoncello cake is amazing!! I will be heading back here on my next NOLA trip!
My son loves the eggplant appetizer and I choose the crabmeat stuffed mushroom caps.
Hostess didn't seem very surprised after we left after we saw the menu.
Start with the Creme brûlée! It's outstanding !
All delicious: Crawfish cake special, turtle soup, spaghetti & meatballs, and shrimp creole. A bit pricier than lesser-known local joints, but an overall good experience.
A Canal Street institution drawing patrons for lunch and dinner, Mandina’s menu is creole and Italian, offering fried seafood, po’ boys, sandwiches, and Italian classics. [Eater 38 Member]
The soft shell crab is amazing
Yes, do what Emeril & Fieri say and get The Peacemaker, but don't miss the arguably even more delicious Grilled Shrimp, Fried Green Tomato, Remoulade Po-boy. Read all about it on WinstonWanders below! Read more.
Chow down on the Peace Maker, a po'- boy stuffed with fried oysters, bacon and cheddar. For dessert have a slice of the sweet potato crunch pie. Read more.
Their roast beef poboy is amazing!
Breakfast here is good too. Great bagel sandwiches, breakfast burritos (more like breakfast tacos IMO but super tasty), and more.
True NY Style Deli!
Just launched: empirestatedeli.com you can view pictures of the sandwiches and order catering!
Roasted garlic pizza is fantastic! Add chicken to it for a really hearty pizza.
Ask for Thom...
Staff is very nice. Their food is just okay though. Go for the aesthetics, not the cuisine.
This place is a must on any New Orleans list of nightlife/eateries. Great local beer and character on tap, late night eats to rival all. The sesame chicken salad is a rare treat.
have tachos.
Frozen irish coffees are what's up.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
