Brian BugnackiMay 13, 2012Hottest hand driers on the planet in then bathrooms. Oh ya...the food is amazing too!
ZanyaApril 20, 2014Was really pleased until the food arrived. Is gumbo always this bland and gloopy? Jambalaya was average. Service was ok and atmosphere was good on the courtyard. In summary: a no go for foodies
Kat CorlissMay 4, 2010Definitely recommend trying the St. Peter's Punch! Lots of alcohol masked in a fantastically fruity, sippable drink! Delicious!

Carolyn JohnsonAugust 6, 2011Get the combo platter. I honestly couldn't decide which was my favorite!
RobenaOctober 29, 2013Luv the bread pudding. Rice & red beans is ok but jambalaya... Sorry guys but Royal House's one is much better
Loukas PetridisApril 12, 2017The food is not good at all. Creole style food is supposed to be an explosion of taste, this restaurant provide s nothing like that. It is a tourist trap. at least the prices are reasonable
Blackened Chicken with Garlic potatoes and Cajun corn. Mmmmm
Eric KlemenNovember 10, 2010Great atmosphere and pleasant staff. The better of the two gumbo places I tried while in NO.
Michelle SprottJuly 5, 2011ms Brenda is the best waitress ! True example of southern hospitality NOLA style
Craig HallSeptember 5, 2010Okra gumbo and the jambalaya are great. Drinks are a bit weak but overall a great choice
Howard WalfishJune 2, 2015The gumbo z'herbes is vegetarian, but it's pretty bland without adding hot sauce.
FernandaMay 26, 2022Rude waiter, food nothing more than ok (tried the southern trio plate with jambalaya crawfish etouffee and gumbo)
Geoff BrownellSeptember 2, 2013The bathroom sink is reverse what you'd think: left for cold, right for hot. Consider yourself warned...
Peter MAugust 18, 2013Gumbo wasn't so great. Too much thickening agent and gloopy. Not much flavour either. The service and the grand building was great though.
Jaimee HardyOctober 31, 2010Jambalaya is phenomenal. Try the fresh fruit daquiri you won't regret it.
