"Ordering right" is important (the whole fish is the best thing on the menu; other standouts are the escargot, onion soup, and mussels), but if you don't, the total experience is still very worth it
The Alaskan cod sandwich is literally mind blowing. The escargot is also fantastic. The wait staff was wonderful and even refilled our wine glasses on the house! Will definitely come back!
Top 5 meals of my life. Everything was great, but the fried oysters and escargot gave me a borderline seizure.
Important to dress for the occasion. (Collared shirt, no shorts, etc.) Excellent meal - fabulous desserts!

The bread pudding is fantastic! Make sure to check out the ghost before you leave. Seafood is excellent. People dress from casual to fancy.

Sizzler service and Ruth's Chris prices. Sadly this place has gone steeply downhill. If you insist on going, the baked Alaska and the escargot were good.

One of the best brunches I have ever had. I wish I had more time so I could return for dinner. Great service and highly creative cuisine. Best of New Orleans.

Came Friday night at 7, waited down stairs listening to music and having a few drinks for almost 2 hrs... And it was worth it!!! Escargot, mussels, veal park were all excellent ... Will be returning!
We had the: escargot, crab maison, oysters Rockefeller, sweet potato cheesecake. They were all WONDERFUL and my kids loved them too. The place has a little wait but you can get a drink. A great meal
The Friday lunch in the downstairs dining room is one of the best dining experiences anywhere. Getting a table is another question (good question for a concierge)
Too full for dessert? Order the Café Brûlot, a giant bowl of tableside-flambéed coffee with orange liqueur and spices. Via CityEats.com Read more.
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.
