David Berkowitz: Try the Soup 1-1-1 - Soup sampler: crab & corn chowder, gumbo, turtle. The turtle was the hands down favorite but all are good
Jeremy Fisher: Surprisingly good food ($.25 martinis, turtle soup, gumbo, Oyster Gratinée, Creole Cochon de Lait “Cassoulet,” duckfat potatoes), but go to Galatoire's for atmosphere
Antonello Loddo: Their soufflé, gumbo and seafood are definitely worth the short ride from the French Quarter. Better reserve ahead of time. If price is an issue, try it for lunch.

Erica Holliday: Must get the gumbo and bread pudding. Bloody Mary is super spicy and divine
Love Me: Food is really good! The gumbo is the best I've tasted. Portions are small, but it is so worth it. Blue crab catavalli & shrimp and grits are amazing.
Gloria Chin: great cajun/creole. crab beignets come w/ 4 different aoli types! try the death by gumbo (stuffed quail) and banana cream pie
Jamie Florence: Get the torchon of foie, the sweetbreads are to die for, and the death by gumbo. Skip the stuffy dining room and sit at the bar - Brian is awesome. the Peter Lauer Reisling it interesting.
Dan Schiaffo: Crab beignets, filet, crawfish stuffed flounder, seafood gumbo, asparagus, gratin potatoes. Everything. Was. Amazing! Service was excellent as well!
