Restaurants near Preservation Hall

Everyone was friendly and warm! More delicious food than we could eat! If you have a chance to celebrate a birthday here, just know that you will have a blast! Couldn’t have ended our stay on a brighter note than this charming, delightful restaurant! (And try the Bananas Foster, even if you don’t especially like bananas, the sauce even just on the vanilla ice cream, the story, it’s worth it even if you end up feeding most of the banana to your dining companion. ^_^) Six star service!

This is me and my husband's second time visiting this restaurant. We were impressed both times. The food is amazing. My husband didn't care too much for the gumbo, but that's his southern palate. I enjoyed everything. The people are friendly and the place is CLEAN. I will be back for their bread pudding for sure!!!

Wonderful experience, again! Took our visiting friend for lunch! Everything was superb! Started with the Frozen Cranberry Martini, move on to the baked oysters, split the best red fish almondaine ever and house salad with 2 great dressings! Oh forgot the puff potatoes, make sure you gobble them up when they come out warm! Had a minor mess up when the put sauce on top of seafood omelette, but corrected it immediately, and it was so light and fluffy and so full of crabmeat and shrimp! Couldn’t ask for a better experience dining at this iconic place! Back to being my go-to spot!

This is perhaps the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. It is a high end place but the value for the quality is excellent. The food was outstanding from the warm biscuits to the fabulous lobster dumplings to the Pompano fish to the bread pudding dessert. All four of us raved about our meals. The servers were wonderful. The noise level was pretty high. One server did put the entre and the dessert in front if the wrong person but that's the only possible criticism I can offer. This was an amazing dining experience.

As a neighborhood regular I decided to switch up from my usual dish and ordered the braised short rib with polenta the polenta was absolutely excellent and was extremely flavorful. The short rib was perfectly fork, tender, and the taste melted in my mouth. Admittedly, I am not a fan of spinach, but this spinach was perfectly done and I actually really enjoyed eating it. I’ll have to come back very soon and order this dish again. 10 out of 10. Recommend!
