Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Warehouse District

The best thing about this dining experience by far was our waiter, Mason. He was extremely fun and engaging. Witty and all around pleasant. I just cannot say enough good things about him and hope managment see this and give him kudos. He was probably the best waiter I have ever had. The dining room was not crowded and the food was very good, except for my husband’s ribeye which was a bit overcooked and not very tender, and they did comp us his port at dessert as an apology, which was lovely of them. Everything else about the evening was wonderful. We received an amuse-bouche to start and were each sent home with a box containing two flavors of scones as a lagniappe. My friend and I had the short ribs pappardelle and they were excellent, and we shared a burrata with balsamic pearls and air bread which was spectacular. My husband’s app was the Summertime Surprise, a fried soft shell crab, which he said was “sublime” and the presentation was quite beautiful. It was a quiet dining room with the hotel bar adjacent, so we could hear lots of good music and revelry coming from there which enhanced our experience but didn’t intrude on it. We enjoyed the mural of Jackson Square with famous folks drawn into it, and when we mentioned our interest in it to Mason, he brought Ken, the resident expert on the hotel’s murals, over to answer our questions. Overall it was a lovely evening of upscale dining with really phenomenal service.

The food was fabulous. If you want good service with a great steak come here. We sat at the piano bar and had a wine prior to dinner the piano player was exception both playing and singing. We started with the chopped salad that had a really good Italian dressing.. My husband and I had the bone in ribeye with a loaded baked potato with sautéed onion and mushrooms. Was scrumptious. Highly recommend. It has an old school steak house feel. Very dark and sexy atmosphere. The service was outstanding. .

"5/5 stars! Our steak dinner at Briquettes was absolutely phenomenal! The food was cooked to perfection, and the service was top-notch. But what really made our evening special was the exceptional hospitality from our host, Toby. He went above and beyond by setting our table with a bouquet of flowers and our homemade pottery. It was such a thoughtful touch that made our night truly unforgettable. We can't wait to come back to Briquettes!"

Wonderful experience. Staff was awesome, including the secondary waitstaff who assisted with drink refills/other items. Upside down cornbread wasn’t awesome, BBQ shrimp sauce was a little overpowering, but flatbread, fries, and dumplings were fantastic. Cotton candy was a cute and fun addition - made the kids feel special. Will absolutely return to try different items - about to choose from.

I’m a Ruth’s Chris Lover! I visited the Fulton Street location for the first time and was very disappointed! My server Raynell’s B was very good! Restaurant was very Clean but the most important thing my Food. My steak was supposed to be well done and it was bloody. My Cream potato and shrimp was very Cold! My crab cakes was warm and they are usually sizzling! What a big difference from Baton Rouge & Metairie Location! I have never been disappointed with them,never! Mrs.C
