Where do I begin other than to say Wow! we had such an amazing experience. The food was outstanding. We tried all the different oysters. We had some soup we had some gumbo we had salad and best of all we had the baked Alaska. All were amazing! more than the food, I have to commend your server Chuck he was so amazing and made our experience extraordinary. He steered us in the right direction for food, while giving us a whole history lesson of Antoine’s from the beginning to the end of our meal with little snippets of history and he was probably one of the most charming waiters I have en counted in a very long time . He truly is an asset to your establishment❤️ There is a restaurant in Paris called La Tour D’Argent that I love that does the endearing post card with the number of the duck you ordered just like you do with the oysters! Love that, as well as the famous wine cellar! We so enjoyed the experience and cannot wait to come back on our next visit to NOLA!

Everything was delicious. Ordered everything from shareable appetizers through dessert. Service was excellent and servers were attentive. Drinks were served quickly even when ordering impromptu wine when the meal arrived. Wine showed up in minutes so it could be enjoyed with the meal. It really was a perfect meal out with colleagues.

The redfish was the best I’ve had in NOLA up to this point. Brussel sprouts were delish along with the pork belly. Bread pudding with the English toffee was incredible. Services top notch. A very good culinary experience.
