34 is Chef Emeril Lagasse’s first restaurant dedicated to the cuisine of his Portuguese heritage. He was inspired by his late mother, Hilda, who influenced his interest in cooking when he was a child growing up in Fall River, MA. The 245-seat restaurant is adorned in shades of green – Emeril’s signature color – wood accents and ornate Portuguese tiles. A painting of a rooster, a national Portuguese symbol of good luck, greets guests at the entrance. Once inside, a jamon bar with countertop service and tile-clad DJ booth are focal points of the space. The restaurant celebrates not only the food and design of Portugal but also the sounds, with music from local and touring DJs.

    We were sat at the Jamon Bar even though we had a dining room reservation. Imberio ham had clearly been pre sliced and placed in the walk in for 24hrs before we got it. We started slow bc we couldn’t decided 100% what we wanted. After 5 dishes we decided to leave to go elsewhere. Overall will pause before coming back. Loved the main bar area and that service before we moved to another spot.

    Great service, menu, cocktails and food. The downside is the credit card processing fee of 3%. The fee is waived if you pay cash.

    This was my second time and found everything exceptional as it was before. We even had the unexpected pleasure of having Emeril stop by our table and welcome us and offer some suggestions from the menu. I noticed that he was in the kitchen on the evening that we were there. That was exciting to see, and he was a most gracious host.

    I can absolutely see 34 becoming a staple for me in New Orleans. The ambience and décor are stunning—elevated yet welcoming—and the wine selection is vast, featuring an impressive array of Portuguese options that perfectly complement the menu’s influences. The dishes are packed with fresh, vibrant flavors. We started with the freshly baked breads served with homemade butter—an incredible way to begin the meal. The carrots with pine nut cream offered great flavor, though I would have preferred them served warm. The bifana sandwich was hearty with bold flavors, though slightly on the salty side. The Shrimp San Miguel was a standout for me: rich, flavorful, and simply impeccable. My friends ordered the crudo and quite literally left no crumbs. We also shared the paella, served family-style. Its presentation was gorgeous, but the flavors fell a bit short, and there was a mix-up with a dietary preference. However, the manager addressed it promptly and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. The whole fish was another highlight of the night—my table thoroughly enjoyed it. For dessert, the pineapple pain perdu with pineapple rum caramel sauce was phenomenal; I’d return just for that. The passion fruit gelato was refreshing and delicious, while the chocolate mousse cake was decadent and satisfying. But the true star of the evening was Joe Witkowski, the dining room manager. Joe was attentive, personable, and genuinely passionate about creating an exceptional dining experience. From thoughtful recommendations to his unmatched service, he turned what could have been an ordinary evening into a memorable one. His warmth and professionalism left a lasting impression and are a big part of why I’ll be returning to 34 and singing its praises to anyone who’ll listen. If you visit, make sure to stop by and meet Joe—although I’m confident he’ll find his way to your table to ensure your experience exceeds expectations.

    Excellent! Wonderful experience with service that went above and beyond. Every dish was more delicious than the next! Damion’s craft cocktail creations were not only exquisite but exceptionally delicious! Everyone in our supper club had such a fabulous time, and we can’t wait to visit again soon! Thank you.

    This new restaurant is amazing. Although the menu is quite intimidating, with many Portuguese names, the entire staff is patient and kind, taking the time necessary to carefully explain each plate. We started with three items on the Happy Hour menu, which were all delicious. We then had the soup and salad which were fresh and bright, with vibrant flavors. Highly recommend but approach with an open mind.
