- AAMvipDenver / Colorado •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoEveryone 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!More infoBrennan'sPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.8

- BBruceNew Orleans / Louisiana •46 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWonderful 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!More infoAntoine'sPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.6
- MMichaelLas Vegas •5 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThere are so many reasons Mr. B’s Bistro is our absolute favorite restaurant, and it all begins and ends with their superlative customer service. Their attention to detail becomes obvious the moment you walk into the restaurant, and it only gets better as you interact with their exceptionally trained waitstaff. The menu offers something for everyone, and if it’s on the menu you can count on that dish being made with the finest quality ingredients and prepared to perfection. And if you’re like us and you enjoy a good wine to go with your meal you will not be disappointed with their selection which is priced quite reasonably. Give Mr. B’s Bistro a try and if you do I’m guessing it’ll be one of the favorite dining experiences.More infoMr. B's BistroPrice: Expensive• Creole• French Quarter•4.7
- BBobNew York City •4 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThis 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.More infoGW FinsPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• French Quarter•4.9
