NOLA for 4 days. We ate here twice. BEST FOOD we had and we went to a lot of good places! Literally every thing we had was delicious! I can't imagine that you could go wrong with any item on the menu but we had: pastrami w/sauerkraut sandwich, hot boudin sausage, Cajun sausage, a porchetta sandwich (sadly a special and not on the regular menu but...to die for), black eyed pea chili. The drinks were great too. The space is really pleasant and, even though the seating is mostly at high tops or a the bar, its a comfortable place to be. Great service too. We didn't try Cochon (the main restaurant) this time but we definitely will when we return to New Orleans.

Jumping place , noisy but conversations can be held . Plenty of choices on the menu , reasonable prices and good food . Nothing fancy and a simple wine list that works . $14 Uber ride from the quarter but youâll get that back in food value

The Two Chicks Cafe is somewhat difficult to find as it is located inside the building at 901 Convention Center Blvd, but we were glad we eventually found it. The "Under the Sea Omelet" was fantastic! It contained crab meat, shrimp, brie, bell pepper and green onion. The "Crab Cake Benedict "was also very tasty. Our server was friendly and efficient, and she took good care of us. The cafe is a great place to have breakfast!

Owner Joanne is a treasure and her restaurant is to die for. Foie gras c'est magnifique, peartinis delicious, veal medalions in a sumptuous sauce, duck with a garlic/port sauce...yum. Our waiter Gabriel was fabulous. Away from the hubub it's worth the trip as Mr. Deniro and Mr. Bezos have found it too.

somewhat hesitant to call any New Orleans eatery my favorite, but this small establishment is that place...great service, delicious food, solid wine list...i've been here three times and have never been disappointed...this time around i had the blackened scallops and they were prepared to perfection! The flash-cooked caesar salad was uniquely outstanding.Thank you very much for this review, Steve. It means so much to us to be considered your favorite! We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to let us know how much you've enjoyed dining with us, and hope to have the pleasure of serving you again many more times!

We stopped in for an early dinner and the waitress was very nice. We ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer and they were so good! I ordered the shrimp while my husband ordered the cajun jumbalia pasta. The portions were so large that I took half of mine back to the hotel for another meal later.

My wife and I went there today to watch the NE vs Washington game. We were herded into a second floor room where the temp never went below 85 degrees. The female bartender/server was good but would not address the problem. We got a chicken sandwich that was tough and tasteless.From bad to worse: the NE game continually went off the air. Curiously, replaced by the Steelers game the manager (owner?) was a fan of. I happen to know this because I heard him trumpeting his team to fellow Steeler fans. By the third quarter a mob mentality had set in with the fans who began chanting bu....it! When several young guys started advocating violence, I left with my wife. I'm a retired career cop and recognize a bad situation. Beware!CaptacousticThank you for your feedback. We definitely had a convergence of problems that day, and apologize for your experience. Normally, we are a favorite of Pats fans and so many others. We spent many hours reviewing all the problems with the game showing, and as you can see from more current reviews, have addressed all the problems you mentioned.

Are you ready for the time of your life in the "Big Easy"? For the best live music in New Orleans you have to be at BB King's Blues Club, located at 1104 Decatur St. across the street from the French Market. We'll be serving up the best Barbecue anywhere

We stopped into BB Kingâa specifically because we heard the band from the street. We had already eaten so we chose to have a few beverages. We were here during the week and during happy hours times. I highly suggest patronizing during this period if you have the opportunity. Prices on various options were very welcoming.
