Best Casual Restaurants in New Orleans

It is always a treat dining here! The food is always amazing the soufflé potatoes and oysters Rockefeller are a must try if you are visiting for the first time, the charbroiled oysters are delicious too! The staff is always so welcoming and friendly. I was celebrating a friend’s birthday and our waitress Jessie was friendly and informative about the menu. The baked Alaska is not something to be skipped, you definitely need to try it! After dinner we were given a tour by Roland and he was such a gem! The tour he gave us and another couple was truly wonderful, he was so knowledgeable and friendly. This evening was the perfect ending to our trip. I can’t wait to come back!

Overall it's an amazing restaurant. You definitely need a reservation. However, the hostess was a little stuffy. We checked in and were 20 minutes early. We were told we had to wait. Walked around for 10 minutes and came back. Another couple went to check in with same reservation time as us and were going to be seated - until I stepped forward to question why before us. Once you get seated, the ambiance, service, food and personable staff make up for how the experience started. Definitely save room for dessert. Delicious

I went to lunch on a whim because it was near my conference. I am so glad I went. The service was so friendly and kind. Red Beans and rice with fried chicken was prepared perfectly. Gumbo is spot on. I loved my experience completely!

My husband and I dined at Morrow Steak for our anniversary. There was a short wait when we arrived, so we sat at the bar and ordered drinks. I took in the ambiance as we sat there. It is beautifully decorated and intimate with an upscale vibe and romantic aesthetic. The music was nice but a little louder than expected, adding to the moderate noise level. Our drinks were great. He had the Old Fancy which was very boozy. I had the Desire Sidecar which was visually appealing, delicious, and boozy. The hostess arrived to seat us shortly after we got our drinks, but we had to pay the bar tab before we could go to our table. There isn’t much space between separate tables, but we had nice neighbors who were also celebrating their anniversary and gave us their food recommendations. We ordered the flaming tomahawk 4-course meal from the Valentine’s menu. It was $275 and included a caesar salad, Mardi Gras shrimp appetizer, tomahawk steak (came with Morrow steak sauce, truffle butter, and my fave chimichurri), broccolini, garlic mash, and a slice of Mardi Gras cheesecake to share. Sadly, they must’ve ran out of the chocolate covered strawberry cheesecake. We ordered more drinks - Pinot Noir for hubby and a sangria for me. The sangria was pretty and tasty, but not boozy. The steak came out flaming, as described. Our server Janae was excellent. She cut some leaner slices for me and continued to cook them on the hot plate since I don’t like fat and wanted medium well, but hubby loves medium cooked fatty steak. The steak was delectable. I enjoyed the side dishes and dessert too. The attention to detail and presentation of everything from decor to glassware to cocktails and food was noteworthy. The bill was about $400 with gratuity, not including the two drinks from the bar tab, so it was quite pricey. But I’d definitely recommend for special occasions.

My wife and I ate here for Valentine’s Day. We had the Oyster Bordelaise appetizer to start. The oyster were cooked perfectly, with a light batter but still an excellent texture and very tasteful seasoning and accompaniment. Caesar salad was also ordered and one of the better salads I’ve had in a quite some time. I order the 6oz Steak and my wife had the shrimp pasta. The pasta was cooked perfectly, excellent sauce and sizeable shrimp (also cooked nicely) Steak was great and so were the roasted potato and mushroom argodolce. First time there. We will definitely be back. Service was also excellent.
