Mary N: OMG... Must get the roast beef po boy, chargrilled oysters, half shell raw oysters and seafood gumbo mmmmm
Michelle Blam: Delicious! It's possible to get a table when it's pretty busy, although we were there on a weekday. Can't go wrong with chargrilled or raw oysters & the soft shell crab platter. Yum!
Colby Smith: Long line at Acme, so we went to Felix's. We sat at the bar and the raw oysters and shrimp po boy were both excellent. Next time I think I'll stand at the bar and eat 'em as they shuck 'em!

Lee Simpson: Easily one of the best restaurants in NOLA - try the tuna tartare.
Renae Mason: Everything we ate here was incredible. Loved the goat cocktail, pigs ears, tuna tartare with banana crisps, and con chicken dish. Go with a small group of friends and share the smaller dishes!
Andre Ribeiro: There is a reason why Nina Compton won the James Beard Best Chef (south) this year. The pork tenderloin was insane, tuna tartare delicious and the drinks incredible.

Gambit New Orleans: Try the ceviche: get fish, shrimp or a mix of the two at this traditional Spanish cafe. -Gambit's Five in 5 Read more.
Feed Me Good: Different style of Ceviche here. Extremely tart/acidic, diced red onions, tomatoes and bell pep on lettuce. Lime juice doesn't taste like it's freshly squeezed:( Not a pleasure to eat.
cj fitzgerald: From N: Incredible paella, especially seafood. Garlic soup & shrimp are perfect appetizers.
