Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Carrollton

The shrimp Arnaud was underwhelming. It tasted like tuna fish with dijon mustard. Not entirely sure why it’s a signature dish? The veal and souffle potatoes were amazing, but oversalted. The veal was cooked to perfection and tasted like a salisbury steak. The jazz band came by our table once the entire evening. The wait staff was very attentive but I did feel rushed throughout my dining experience. Not sure if I would return for a second time.

I like Red Fish Grill. My first meal on my first trip to Nawlins was there and I've been a fan ever since. Good food, great service and ambiance that fancies up Bourbon Street a lil bit. Loved the Boufin balls and whatever sauce that is that they came in. Only thing I want a fan of was their fried okra, which tasted pickled or horse radishy but everything else was excellent. Who puts Rosemary in a boozy lemonade? Red Fish does, and it was gooood. I'll be back my next trip to New Orleans.

As usual, we had a very good experience. We had one of our two preferred servers (Rivers and Sarah) take care of us. Rivers was accommodating and attentive; Sarah stopped by to say hello. The Sardinian red was a very good match for the new funghi pizza. We asked Rivers about the availability of fresh thyme for the pizza and he brought some out. It turned a very good pie into an excellent one. The molten chocolate tort was outstanding.

From the moment we walked into the Fountain Lounge at the Waldorf Astoria in New Orleans, the service was outstanding. It’s rare to have an experience where every team member you encounter is exceptional, but this was one of those rare instances. The staff went above and beyond, creating a seamless and memorable evening. A special thank you to Liam (Host), Thedriana (Server), Ronnie (Food Runner), and Eddie (Server) for their attentiveness and hospitality. Their service truly elevated the experience. The live music added to the ambiance, and the atmosphere exuded understated elegance—classic New Orleans charm at its finest. Whether you’re stopping in for a drink or a full meal, this is a spot worth visiting for both its refined setting and impeccable service. Highly recommend!
