This museum is one of the finest attractions in New Orleans. Located in City Park adjacent to the Big lagoon, with one of the finest sculpture gardens in the country immediately behind the museum, you can easily spend from sunup until sundown I never go farther than a quarter-mile from the. My photography can't do justice to the works indoors but I hope the works pictured here, from the sculpture garden and the reflecting pool immediately in front of the museum, will entice you to explore.

This is an absolutely wonderful place to visit! The exhibit rooms are open and large enough to allow for social distancing while still enjoying each exciting exhibits. There are diverse collections that will appeal to many different age groups. Everyone in the family will enjoy this museum!

I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing this museum was! Not only was it HUGE with three giant floors, but the many exhibits were varied and expansive. There were artifacts from all around the world and tons of paintings in different styles from a variety of artists. They even had a “Louisiana” room which was so cool to see!

Come here just for the garden if you don’t like to go inside a museum! But you have to see this amazing place ❤️. You can see so many sculptures and pieces of arts . Live a donation and enjoy a couple of hours of your day walking around this amazing park.

Amazing museum and sculpture garden you can easily spend 3-4 hours here. Really makes an effort to be inclusive and frame the artworks in a historical contest without it becoming the sole focus. Number one attraction in New Orleans!

Come and see. Not the biggest art collection, but certainly a good profile, with engaging art and we'll presented. The luxurious building supports the collection nicely. Come for the cafe, which offers an amazing variety of sweets and lunch dishes with a twist, such as Egypt inspired pasta or Doberge cake, under a sparkling dome of glass in modern chairs. Don't forget the adjacent sculpture park, one of the best I have ever seen.

A really varied and interesting collection of art. It is well laid out and there is lots of space in the galleries. Each gallery is well put together with a theme, and each artwork has good details and information next to it. Really helps you to appreciate everything. Particular highlights for me were works by Kandinsky and the Japanese art. The sculpture park next door is amazing and definitely worth the time to wander around.

This New Orleans Art Museum has the perfect size to visit and #exploreNOMA in a few hours. The setting is spacious and elegant, embedded in the lush greenery of City Park. I loved seeing works of art that I had only seen in books before. To meet them in person was like seeing a long lost friend. I appreciated the diversity of the artists, the socially-conscious messages, and art from ancient times to the contemporary era. Definitely looking forward to artist talks and attending more events! Thank you for making art accessible to Louisiana residents on Wednesdays!

Definitely utilize the free shuttle to get there. It's in a weird area that would be hard for tourist to find. I loved the movie showing how the designs are made. The designs are spectacular but the exhibit was easily done within 20 minutes. Not much interaction after the movie.

This was a fun end of the day activity. You do have to wait for a tour to enter. They have you watch a film on the history of the place and Mardi Gras. You also get to try a delicious piece of King cake before taking you to see the parade pieces. It is a fun place to visit. It's amazing seeing the size and detail put into each piece that they create.

Very informative and the floats are beautiful! The tour guide rushed us and it was warm during the tour. We received a military discount but the ticket was still $17 each not sure what’s the regular price. The floats are amazing and the artwork was beautiful.

It was cool! It only took about about 30 minutes to look at everything and we had a good time exploring and taking pictures. The shuttle (while it was convenient) was very poor. The driver was rude and not helpful.

Great place to take your kids. The robot is cool. A little overpriced since they charge $22 per adult and $18 per kid plus additional tip for the tour guide. Well we don’t regret going since it was one-time experience and NO doesn’t have many other options that was kids friendly.

I had the opportunity to experience Mardi Gras World. I joined the tour a little late. The tour guide was knowledgeable about how the floats and statues were made. This is a great place for those visiting NOLA to experience.

Interesting tour. Our tour guide was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable and had a great personality. She made the tour super interesting and entertaining. The tour was approximately one half hour to about an hour. The floats are very accessible for picture taking but you may want to keep little children close just because the sight is still an active preparation site for parade floats. Lastly that cake they offer you before you view the video in my opinion is great.

Neat little place! Nice way to get a taste of what Mardi Gras is all about. It was especially cool seeing people actively working on the floats! I do think the cost to get in was a bit much ($44 for two people), especially considering it’s a general warehouse that people are working out of any way, and when you walk around, it’s self-guided (and it isn’t set up as a museum of any sort where you get the info about each item - you just look at the floats - so it doesn’t take long to walk through). Regardless though, we still left glad that we checked it out as part of the NOLA experience!

We did the guided tour and thought it was worth it because you get more info than if you were just to walk around on your own. If it's cold out, dress warm because you are in a big warehouse/garage. We ubered over and then took the shuttle back to near our hotel. The shuttle is free.

A fun and unique tour! It takes around and hour and begins with a 15 minute video containing the history of Mardi Gras and it’s parades as well as enjoy a slice of King Cake. The video explains how parades started, who creates the floats, who works the floats and why. I had no idea there was so much to it before going and we enjoyed learning so much and then being able to tour where the history continues today. Depending on the time of day you tour, you might see artists at work, as well as a robot carving machine. After the guided and very informational tour, you get to wander through the warehouse at your leisure and see anything you missed or wanted to see more of. The value for what you pay is well worth it and a fun experience to enjoy. In the summer, bring a handheld fan to make it more enjoyable, it’s a little warm in the open air warehouse.

This place was cool. Got to see how they make the floats. They let you on 1 of the main floats to take pics. Our tour guide did very well explaining everything that goes on there. It's hot in there so be prepared.

I want to show some of the pictures from our last trip to Mardi Gras World. The tour was cool. We were able to see the float making process from starting to finish. I would encourage anyone to go and see it while in New Orleans. We spent about an hour and a half there. The adult tickets were $22.00 and kids were $14.00.

What an incredible experience. Always wanted to go but a friend who just went highly recommended it. We went as a family of four and got to meet an actual world or to Gunner. Being able to talk to him and listen to the stories was worth the visit by itself. One of the most interactive museums I've ever been to including the 4D theater. I highly recommend that if you are on the fence and interested in the history you must go! Be prepared to spend a minimal of 2 to 3 hours to experience everything at the museum.

Well done museum. There are a lot of great exhibits. The Boeing room was a definite highlight. They have several WWII era military planes hanging in the room with observation walkways at a couple levels, including above the planes, to allow you to see the planes from different perspectives. It was really cool. The museum is housed in multiple buildings. If you want to see everything, you will need to plan on being there for an entire day, or two.

Really, really great museum!!! The price of admission is steep, but it is definitely worth it!!! If you are a history buff and want to see everything, then plan on the two days. Also, the 4D theater is definitely worth the $7. I am excited to finish my tour and hopefully come back some day!!! Wonderful museum!!!

Oh my goodness!! This was the best museum I have experienced in a while, and I mean EXPERIENCED! This is definitely a day to remember, block out the entire day and experience this exhibit. You will thank me later! I will be back because I didn't block a chunk. They do offer a come back to finish ticket for $12 within 7 days of your original ticket. I had to do that but I still don't think I saw everything. This place is massive and chock full of memorabilia and information. I can not stress enough TAKE YOUR TIME and enjoy!

A great experience for family and friends. Various information boards with displays about different aspects of World War 2. They have two floors of various displays and information to help you truly understand World War 2 from the beginning to the end. There is also a 4D theater that speaks about World War 2 and makes you feel the impulse of being there. I highly suggest that you visit and enjoy it. This is great for family and friends. A genuine experience for anyone of all ages. ENJOY!

Amazing museum. Make sure you give yourself tons of time to take it all in. I spent about 4.5 hours and easily could have spent a couple more (if not the entire day). Really enjoyed the movie clips integrated into the exhibits and the atmosphere the museum creates moving from room to room. Museum staff take your picture as you enter, this is for photos that you can choose to purchase later with different backgrounds (like planes, ambulances, Rosie the riveter and the museum itself). If this might be a souvenir you'd like to purchase, thinking about a dynamic pose for the shot they take will likely look better than the type of photo you'd take for getting an ID. Also, I counted 3 gift shops including an entirely stand alone shop next to the museum so if you are looking for the perfect momento, make sure you take time to look through all 3. The museum is absolutely worth as much time as you can give it.

If you only do one thing in New Orleans, visit the WW2 museum. It is FANTASTIC. The exhibits are thoughtful, and the layout of the museum is easy to navigate and follows good narratives. Highly recommend grabbing a "Dog Tag" and watching the oral histories. Also, it's a huge museum, and if you want to see everything in-depth, you'll need about 6 hours, but it's well worth it. I already know I'm going to come back someday, and hopefully soon.

The National WWII Museum is an incredible and immersive experience from start to finish. The museum has curated an amazing collection of artifacts and interpretive materials, then presented them in a coherent format suitable for nearly any visitors. We especially loved the Boeing Gallery with full size aircraft and vehicles on display. So glad to have finally gotten to visit this wonderful facility.

Amazing and important place. The greatest generation and the greatest war are well represented here. So much to see that spending 6 to 8 hours is reasonable, so if able, make multiple trips. Recommend getting the dog tag of a true life participant so you can follow their journey. Clever info stations are available throughout. This place gives a fitting tribute to all of the people who helped and sacrificed, each in their own ways. Plenty of artifacts and Building 5 has a great collection of aircraft. Highest recommendation.

This museum is a must-do, and make sure to plan a large chunk (if not the whole day) of your time! Every time I visit this museum it has grown, and the exhibits are beautiful, immersive, interactive and humbling. We ate at the restaurant, which was great (the sweet tea was perfection). They also have a soda shop which is super cute, and wonderful gift shops. Definitely visit and take your time! I don't want to *spoil* much with my photos, but I'll add a couple and an obligatory food shot from lunch!

Favorite WWII museum yet! I thoroughly enjoyed reading everything I could and the experiences are so immersive it’s very captivating. The dog tag part was confusing for us and they didn’t work the way we thought they were supposed to so we kind of just forgot about them. The staff were all incredibly helpful and involved. At one point I lost my tag and we had to double back to get a new one but they were quick to help! I’d absolutely return to continue reading. The catwalk to view the planes and the D-Day exhibit was a huge favorite!

I can't believe how much there is to do here. You will easily spend the majority of your day here. Plan for several hours. There are 4 major buildings to go through, and each will take well over an hour to see. You probably could spend multiple days here if you are interested in the history. Very interactive and one of the highest quality museums I've been to.

I love this Cathedral. On the north side, outside, the shadow of the Jesus statue is formidable. Inside is immaculate. It is open to all. Come. Sit down a moment and take in all of the splendor. It is breath taking even for someone like me who despises religion, but the religious do create magnificent places for them to feel pious.

Four stars for group of people and/ single performance to show their talents in front of St. Louis Cathedral and between, Jackson square, beside Louisiana State museum. They're really great and amazing!! Paintings made by native New Orleaners are perfect and they're talented to their gifts. It's just the church itself is closed during our visit. Hoping to have an opportunity to sit inside and to listen a homily in a whole mass.

My husband and I were in New Orleans during the holy week. I have always wanted to visit the Cathedral. It has always been synonymous with the city. I love the open door policy. You may come in and take pictures. It is breathtaking!!! I was fortunate enough to attend Easter services. There is a lovely gift store where you can purchase rosaries, crosses and other religious items.

Beautiful church in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans. Nice mass, beautiful and vivid paintings inside. Outside, you may get "entertained" by the detractors of the Catholic church. Also, you'll see tables with voodoo dolls and cards. Interesting contrast. Scaffolding is up inside March+ 2022.

A beautiful building and a peaceful, prayerful atmosphere inside. It’s free to go in and look around. There is a lot to see inside, with art, stained glass, sculpture, memorials. It would be good if there was a bit more information around to read and get to know the history a bit better, but I understand that this is primarily a place of worship more than a place for interested tourists. If you want to go in to pray and light a candle, it is a lovely atmosphere to do that as well.

I’m glad we were able to stop in and take in the significance and history of this cathedral. We got to go inside during the day and it was also great seeing it at night.

We scheduled our dinner cruise through Viator in order to purchase the VIP tickets. WORTH EVERY PENNY! Our hostess, Gina, was amazing. She took care of us the minute we walked up to the boat and treated us like royalty. We had our own reserved table right in front of the jazz band on the top deck. Gina brought us some of the best shrimp cocktail and made sure we always had a full drink while we watched the band. Then we were escorted to our reserved table in the dining room and served great food! Not only was this an amazing experience but my partner also proposed at sunset and it was so perfect. Thank you to everyone on this cruise that made it so special! And a special shout out to Gina for being so wonderful!

Worth every penny! I didn’t get the meal because I didn’t want to miss a minute of the Mississippi River! Great set up: Loved the band playing before we left the dock. Traveling along in the surprisingly quiet vessel as the descriptions were given by the captain were very pleasant. Then to make the turn and have music played all the way back to dock was fantastic! The lights coming on all over the city as the sun set… an incredibly memorable evening.

ADVICE: We went at sunset and the best views were on the back dock. There is a lot of vibration from the water wheel but totally worth it. The views, experience, and service were better than the food. The food wasn’t bad it just wasn’t rememberable. The boarding was quick. The downtime before dinner was great for drinks and the captain did announcements and fun facts during this time as well. I can now say I’ve been on a steamboat tour. Would I sign up for a second time? No. Am I glad I got the experience? Yes.

Highly recommend the Jazz Sightseeing Cruise. We decided to skip the lunch and spend more time on the outside of the boats gathering the sights. Not usually a fan of narrated tours but the captain did a FANTASTIC job narrating and it was very informative and easy to follow. Great value and excellent ship.

A must try experience in New Orleans! Everything was so great. Very friendly and helpful staff members especially Angie with her uplifting contagious energy. The food was very delicious and very well presented. The band was so great and the jazz music added more magic to this experience. I highly recommend the brunch onboard for an enjoyable experience in New Orleans.

The experience was one of a kind. The staff were all quite friendly and helpful. The weather was gorgeous and after we finished our drinks and delicious meal we explored all three decks. Would definitely go again the next time I visit NOLA! By the way if you wish to board quickly I suggest getting there an hour before your boarding time as the line can get quite long they check for either your vaccination card or digital copy and snap a photo of you and your party before you board.

My family and I took the day cruise with lunch and we enjoyed it very much. The wait to start boarding was challenging because of the sweltering heat. Nonetheless, we loved the talented live band and our meal and the drinks. The lunch may be expensive but it just completed the experience. My family and I thought it was worth it. We reserved the 12:15pm lunch and it was the perfect way to end the cruise. It was also less crowded in the dining room (because there were a LOT of passengers on the boat) but you could still clearly hear the narration and live band over the speakers. You could also see the live band on a television screen. I highly recommend the cruise and meal.

Brought my wife to New Orleans for her birthday. One of the things on our list was a Mississippi River Boat cruise. We decided on a dinner cruise so we could see the sunset and the city skyline at night. We were actually on the City of New Orleans because the Natchez was down for maintenance. Beautiful boat. Dinner was served for us at 6-ish. There were other dinner times available. The gumbo with chicken was awesome. There is a buffet and choices that do not include seafood (wife is allergic). When the boat go underway at 7pm we were already sitting on the 3rd deck and catching a nice breeze. The narrator gave a great bit of detail about the areas we were seeing and the boat itself. When we turned around at 8 to head back we were greeted with the spectacular view of the skyline. Was a wonderful experience and great value for the price. If you can manage it, and you figure you will buy 20 dollars in drinks per person, go for the VIP experience. We did not but we spent some time talking to Ellie who acts as, Cruise director, historian, experience recommender and VIP guide. She was a joy to talk to when she had the time.

My son and I had to try this place while visiting. My son had the duck and he loved it. The skin was crispy and meat tender and juicy. The gumbo was so good and the gator bites were tender and season well. I loved this place. I enjoyed the taste of New Orleans dish and yes the crab cakes are to rave about. Great customer service and fast n hot food.

The start of the trip we stopped at Oceana Grill and it set Nola off. The service was good. When dropped off the driver said at least it’s not a long line so I guess we were lucky for that but when you walk in it has 3 levels from what I was able to see. The ambiance had some historical photos and a feel to Nola homes with the hardwood floors and brick. The food was spectacular. The drinks were all good. Highly recommend!

Today’s visit to Oceana was overall good! It was not great, but instead good as the food was above average, our hold time was not the worst, our customer service was pretty good on Kevin’s behalf as he was very timely and personable, and the overall atmosphere was decent as well. We ordered the Red Fish with the Crawfish sauce; it is the restaurants special, and it came with some vegetables similar to greens and mash potatoes which were pretty good as well! We also ordered the Gator Tail Bites; both blackened and fried and those were about a 4 out of 5 as well; good flavor, great texture, similar to chicken! Great pick! We also ordered the soft tail crab and it was NOT worth $10…I do not recommend it for anybody if they are wanting crab, so please be mindful. Overall, it was an EXTREMELY BUSY DAY and we waited about 15 minutes to be seated which was expected. The music was cool, and the food came out pretty quickly as well! It cost about $56 between the 2 meals, and overall was a decent visit. We would definitely visit again!

Had a blast spending our anniversary here! The food was delicious and our waiter Damon was one of the friendliest waiters we have met in this whole trip. We even received some souvenirs, which was so thoughtful! Food came out fast. The pecan pie was delicious!

When I first saw this place, I really thought that it is overrated but I was completely wrong. This place definitely deserves a 5-star review. It looks small from the outside but it is spacious. Service is very fast, staffs are friendly and helpful. Their food is absolutely tasty! We ordered Blackened Catfish plate and Oceana Chargrilled Oysters. There are lots of options that you can choose from, and all of them look amazing. I highly recommended this place for seafood. They also open very late so you can stop by for some late night food.

Loved their food and drinks. We stood in line for about 30mins to get into this place on a Saturday evening and it was definitely worth it. The sauce on the crab cake was our favorite. The oysters were outstanding and show why NOLA is known for it. The Po boy was a bit dry but the chicken was super flavorful and juicy. We really enjoyed the drinks as well.

First off I want to give a thank you shout out to Mike the Waiter! He gave My sister and I and friends amazing experience! Food was great! Vibe was great! If I had a million dollars to tip. Mike would definitely be a million dollar man! Also shout out to the managers and staff. The cooks don’t get enough love but here’s your flowers as well 💐💐💐

Our wait in a long line was maybe 15 minutes. Service was fantastic, food was delicious, and the environment is amazing. We got The taste of New Orleans and the Blackened Red Fish plate both were amazing. Then for dessert we got the chocolate kahlua mousse.... mouthwatering! Oh and that bloody Mary was the best ever!

Our experience was not great at all. The food was stale, not fresh and cold. The jambalaya was a mix of mashed rice and beans. The red beans and rice had a small piece of chicken sausage. I didn’t expect too much from the salad but expected to have fresh lettuce. The first time I ate here was in 2018 and the experience was night and day. I was excited to come back but it was a huge disappointment. I recommend going elsewhere.

We had a great time here. Our waiter was the best and helped our experience be more enjoyable. We just did not know what to order. We wished to try everything. He helped us out. So we sampled many dishes and shared. We had oysters, alligator, pasta, duck, shrimp. Loved everything. We had the kitchen window just across our table so we watched how the Oceana Oysters were made and it was very impressive. Worth the show of the Chef's cooking. The duck was unforgettable. The alligator was soft and spicy. The po'boy one of the best seasoned we tried in NOLA. The Hurricane cocktail was delicious.

My husband and I were in New Orleans to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary. The food was so melt in your mouth delicious. The best gator, not chewy. Our waitress Fiona was friendly and all the staff were nice they sang Happy Birthday to me and gave me dessert Bread pudding. Great experience will return when in the area.

First and foremost the waiter was well trained and educated on the items on the menu. Very cool atmosphere with a unique , energetic vibe , awesome music and cool lighting . The food came out hot and fresh. Dessert was delicious, especially for a person who never orders desserts. Drinks were not that strong so don’t get double shots. All in All the food is 10 out of 10! Customer Service 10 out of 10. Awesome Family Fun Environment!

Very classy restaurant. Everyone was very nice and polite. Four adults and four kids (3-8yrs). I had the pecan crusted fish and it was tasty along with the sauce it came with. Pork belly was also good, very tender. Kids had small steak with fries and veggies. Strawberry shortcake was good.

Wow. Already an experience. Food presentation was second to none. Atmosphere with musicians were perfect. Service was impeccable with very friendly workers everywhere…made me feel like they mistook me for someone important. Turtle soup was perfect, shrimp dish was also great. Now for a couple of cons. Two guest in our party had to return steaks because they were well done and ordered med rare. My blacken fish was in the form of a fried patty like a crab cake. Was not my favorite. Valet parking was a great convenience especially with continued crime in NOLA but we felt very safe there. ( steaks were redone with many apologies)

10/10 the best restaurant in New Orleans! Our waiter Keith went over and beyond for me to make sure my vegan meal was amazing! He had them specially prepare me an entree off the menu they was so delicious and had a smoky flavor that I don’t think I’ve ever had while I was vegan! The soup of the day was superb and the raspberry sorbet was delicious! Absolutely recommend for anyone vegan and non vegan looking for a fancy dinner or just good quality food! Everyone in our 18 person group gives this place 5 stars!

One of the best old-standing restaurants in New Orleans. I came here for the jazz brunch with my wife and everything was phenomenal. They sat us on the top floor that overlooks Washington street and try to get that if you can, it’s beautiful. The food, the service, and the musicians. I highly recommend the pecan-crusted fish as the entree, it was light, delicious and flaky. The turtle soup was among the top two of all the restaurants I tried. If you drink, the espresso martini is one of the best I’ve ever had. If you’re coming to NOLA, make this a priority for brunch. I’m sure the dinner here is spectacular as well.

It's obvious that everything at Commander's is going to be great. BUT, I want to point out a most under-rated menu item: The Commander’s Crisp Romaine Salad. Such basic ingredients, but so tasty that I forget that it is only the salad course and nearly get full devouring it before the main course. It might sound crazy singing the praises of romaine lettuce on a plate, but whatever NOLA voodoo Commander's does to it makes it worthy. Seriously, give it a try and I'll sound slightly less wacky. :)

A NOLA classic that we couldn't miss. Unfortunately, we missed the quarter martinis which they apparently don't do on Sundays. Other than that big bummer, we had a delicious lunch. We did get to hear some live music from a band that wandered the dining room, which was lots of fun. The turtle soup is to DIE for, it's just so damn good. We really enjoyed this meal and it is well worth a second visit, which we'll be sure to hit the quarter martini lunch.

Came here for a company dinner while visiting New Orleans for a business conference and had the best experience. First the service was exceptional. Our server was professional, charming, engaging and knowledgeable. I wish I remembered her name but I won't forgot the service she provided. I loved the way they came out and plated at the same time or in a specific sequence. Just made things that more special. Now on to the food. So damn good! I ordered the Turtle Soup and loved it. It was so rich and tangy and I really liked the texture of Turtle meat. The center cut Filet was my main and it was one of the best steaks I ever ate. I loved the crispy potatoes, leeks and sauce. Lastly, I had the Banana Pudding for dessert and it was decadent. My only regret was not ordering the Bread Pudding Souffle because my coworkers ordered it and said it was outstanding. This place is so well known and regarded and they definitely deserve the accolades in my books. I highly recommend this restaurant.

My friend and I had a lovely (albeit expensive) brunch here. The live jazz music was excellent, service was impeccable and the food was delicious. It's a good place to go if you're looking to treat yourself. Make sure to book a table in advance and remember there is a dress code in place.

We enjoyed our experience very much but had a big blunder after being seated and served water. Both of our water glasses had lipstick stains on them. We were surprised by this because of the stellar reviews and history that neither of our waitstaff thought to even look at the glasses before bringing them to our table. That was extremely disappointing! However, everything we ordered was spectacular. We had a great overall experience. They were very attentive and the ambience was very nice.

We had dinner at this place for our second wedding anniversary and everything went well. The staff was friendly. The atmosphere was nice and more importantly the food was delicious BUT the reason for the 4 stars is because two of the items that I picked from the menu were not available anymore at that time! One of them was the fish plate which they didn’t have the one on the menu and we agreed to have a different type of fish. This restaurant requires reservations and with that being mentioned I believe there should be enough inventory to be able to serve the guests. Our reservation was at 7:30 so imagine if someone’s reservation is at 8:30-9 pm then probably there will be less items from the menu available. I would recommend this restaurant if you want to have a nice meal but consider reservation for an earlier time.

Commanders Place has been on our bucket list for a few years. It did not disappoint. When we walked in the door, we were treated as we were the only ones dining there for the evening. Service was amazing. The food was delightful, and we even got to walk through the open kitchen when leaving. I truly felt like a princess who was visiting by everyone who was working. Please go treat yourself to this amazing restaurant and amzing people.

What an amazing experience! Classy yet fun. Service was top notch, food was delicious, and drinks were strong (in a great way haha)! We even got a little mini tour of the open kitchen on the way out. I see why reservations are so hard to come by. This place is wonderful, all around.

We came here and was politely told there was going to be a 20 minute wait. We didn't have to wait long until we were seated and ordered. Our waitress was awesome, the food came out real quick, despite the full-house, and it was absolutely fantastic. This was the only place where I can actually eat oysters and I don't like oysters! Highly recommended by so many people and I'm glad to have finally tried it!

I had to try some Gumbo and Oysters as soon as I settled in. Oysters were fresh & huge! Their house old bay had a touch of different spices and it was so good. First time trying NoLa Gumbo, it was really good shrimp and sausage and the perfect touch of heat to it. Definitely my #1 gumbo in Nola so fat and some of the best oysters! Everyone working at the bar were friendly and welcoming, good service and food came out fast and delicious. Great atmosphere too!

Amazing haft shell fresh and grill oyster with crab. Very good cocktail sauce. I don't like the oyster shooter here. It's not tasty and has too much alcohol. I actually like Felix's Restaurant across the street more. Love the fried crocodile. Taste like chicken but much better texture. Fast friendly services. Could be a long waiting time for the busy season.

Top notch place for Seafood in New Orleans around Bourbon Street. Absolutely the finest grilled oysters I've ever had. Lots of fried seafood available and everything I had was fantastic. Fried crab claws! It's worth the wait in line.

My sister's wedding reception was held in the private dining room. The dining room was large enough to hold our party of 40. We had 5 round tables with 6 chairs each and a rectangle table with 10 chairs. There was enough floor space for us to do couples dancing and line dancing. There's a bar and a separate men's and women's bathroom in the private dining room also. I ordered a hurricane and whiskey sour from the bar--best I've ever had! The buffet menu consisted of red beans and rice, Cajun jambalaya, fried catfish, fried shrimp, cole slaw, french fries, and Caesar salad. Based on the attendants at the reception and their review of each item of food, along with mine, the food was wonderful! After we ate, some of us went out onto the balcony where there were 2 additional tables to enjoy the view. This is the perfect venue for an occasion consisting of 50 people or less.

We waited for a chance as we passed, and finally stood in line. It was a long line, but surprisingly our turn came around quickly. We chose the bar table and that was enough. I ordered half a dozen each of charcoal grilled and raw oysters and seafood gumbo and it was delicious! One thing I wonder is, we ordered raw oysters with half a dozen extra, why is there a difference size of oysters between the first and second plates? I would have visited everyday if they had given me big oysters from the beginning. Hahaha

I and 2 companions went here for dinner. Chargrilled oysters and Boom Boom shrimp were ordered as appetizers and they were excellent.2 of us ordered the Po-Boys one the Fried Peace Maker which is made with a combo of shrimp and oysters the other 10 Napkin Roast beef they were both very very good our third had a bowl of seafood gumbo which was also good. Acme Oyster House is great joint in New Orleans even if you have to stand in line for a bit its worth the wait.

This place is extraordinary! First place when we arrived and last before we left. A true staple of New Orleans! The charcoal grilled oyster… just out of this world. All the food are so fresh! The drinks are great too! And the staff is super friendly - the southern hospitality is true! A few side notes: 1. If you come late night, the place closes at 10 PM. If you see the line not moving when it’s almost closing, just don’t come. They will eventually close the doors even if you lined for 1 hour. 2. Come earlier or during weekdays to avoid the lines. When it gets packed, the wait can get long, and the food quality decreases. 3. I had a worm in the same place of my fresh oysters… lucky I saw it in our last meal and toward the end… but you really don’t want to see anything like that. Still giving a 5 stars because this place deserves it. But please be careful to clean those fresh out of water shells well. Recommended!

The line was long. There is a little wait time. The staff was extra friendly and helpful. The food was good, hit and fresh. The serving was more than ample. We left more than full! The place was small and a little crowded. It was definitely vintage, but it made for a cool vibe and atmosphere that you expect from a NOLA experience.

We were so happy with the whole experience!! Amazing customer service from the start, cool atmosphere, and awesome food and drinks. Our favorite place we ate at while visiting New Orleans! We recommend the chargrilled oysters, fried alligator, gumbo, Patron Perfect Margarita, and the Killer Buzz. We’ll be back next time we’re in NOLA!

Acme Oyster House will normally have a line to get inside and with good reason. This is a true, old school New Orleans oyster house. Not only do they serve delicious raw, chargrilled and fried oysters they have most of the creole favorites as well. The experience is ALMOST as good as the oysters here.

Oysters were incredible… especially the char grilled ones… oh my goodness. The medley had a great variety so enjoyed trying the gumbo, jambalaya and red beans & rice. Wife got the oyster Rockefeller soup and neither of us cared for it much. Would come back to try more of the menu!

Greeted warmly and Seated promptly at our reservation time. Our server Paul covered the menu very thoroughly and offered recommendations based on what was delivered that day. Started with cocktails and hit appetizers. The food was amazing and we knew the entrees were going to be superb. Everyone was very pleased with their meal and left room for amazing dessert. I definitely recommend, and Paul was an amazing server if you get the chance to sit in his section.

GW Fins had great service, and the atmosphere was nice. The food was good, too, but not your typical NOLA seafood. If you are looking for more up scale dining experience and maybe even some gluten-free bread, then this is the place for you. I usually look forward to the steamed seafood in NOLA, and that was not on the menu. However, what they serve is very good.

Went with friends celebrating their 36th anniversary. We knew our waiter who made this a wonderful evening. Be sure to make a reservation. I've been wanting to go for a while since I have only heard good things from friends. I'm glad I went and will go back. The staff handled the crowd very well. All at the table enjoyed our selections, my only issue was my entree and side were only what I can describe as warm.

We made the mistake of coming here our first night of our week long trip. Nothing else compares to this meal… This was an outstanding meal. When the praise is due it should be given! It’s a large restaurant no less and very busy and they seem to keep everything in order; at least for our time there. Seafood is the name of the game! Great wine lists as well, great everything. I will come back every time I’m in town. By the way they had some sort of ice cream pie that was really nice, we had snapper dishes and red fish and jumbo shrimp and so on. I would venture to say that this is one of New Orleans best, and we went to a half dozen spots looking for another great meal while we were there.

Totally amazing ! Make sure to make a reservation as soon as you know you will be visiting ! We were not able to get a reservation this last visit so we went as soon as they opened an sat at the very nice bar and had some cocktails and appetizers ! Everyone from the host to the bar staff were so friendly! The lobster dumplings were absolutely amazing and I can't wait to go back again! The bar area is very nice and spacious . Beautiful atmosphere and each day is a fresh catch so you never know what might appear on the menu that night! How could I forget to mention the biscuit's!!!! The best of the entire trip!

Hands down some of the best food! Located right off of bourbon Street, an upscale restaurant hidden amongst the chaos. There is a dress code to be mindful of! The menu is printed daily as it changes as well. Our server was very knowledgeable on the menu and explained the food in a manner you wanted to order everything. If you are looking for a night out or a place to talk business this is it!

My husband and I came to New Orleans to celebrate our 10 Year Wedding Anniversary. Very good friends of ours who also came to New Orleans 2 days after us, recommended GW Fins and they also celebrated their anniversary dinner here the day after we did. We've been telling everyone about it! This place is amazing!! From the atmosphere, the food, and especially the service. Our server was Marco. When we were shown to our table, there was a scroll like Menu personalized with a greeting to us for our Anniversary. The biscuits melt in your mouth. We had the Crispy Pork Belly Lobster Dumplings Lobster Risotto Dry Aged Swordfish Chop Whole Steamed Maine Lobster Chocolate Mousse Bombs SaltyMalty IceCreamPie We highly recommend this place! Out of all the places we have been to celebrate our Anniversaries, this place is Number #1 in our book!! Thank you!

Where do I start? We called ahead and barely missed the last reservation, but they told us we could go to the bar area and still get drinks and a full menu. We did, and got two glasses of wine, two entrees, one dessert and two whiskeys. Service was OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! Paul was our server and was fantastic. The manager came by a few times to check on us. All the staff were super friendly. Ambiance was perfect. The coconut shell dessert was AMAZING and unbelievably creamy. The biscuits they serve you when you first get seated were so fluffy and tasty. We had several substitutions because of lactose intolerance and they accommodated us on everything and without a hitch. We highly recommend this place. Definitely gonna tell everyone to come here!

Such great service and equally amazing food. Had the Lobster Dumpling, Pork Belly and Watermelon, Pork Chop, and Duck Cracklin Drum. All were outstanding. Service was incredible, you can tell they only hire the best of the best. Shout out to our server Stephani, she was warm and personable and made our dining experience even better than it already was. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time if you're even thinking about coming here. In all my prior visits to NOLA, I somehow only recently discovered this place by word of mouth. GW Fins will now be on the list of the must-do spots every time I'm in NOLA Looking forward to visiting again soon!

GW Fins was the BEST! Everything was AWESOME! From the services to the sweet biscuits, drinks and food. Our waiter Phil, (I think that was his name) deserves a raise. He was great! The atmosphere was electrifying. All men must wear a shirt with a collar and no hat wearing in the building. This restaurant is a must try. 5 stars!

10/10 would recommend if you are looking for some good seafood. The appetizer, meal & dessert were a HIT! The service from the whole staff was amazing . I felt so welcomed and special. It was my birthday and they sprinkled confetti on our table so that was nice of them to add in little details . Can't wait to visit again . Just an FYI,the menu changes daily.

I wish I could give more stars, because we were with a group of 8 and I chose this restaurant. Out of the group I was the only one that truly enjoyed my meal. My table ordered every single appetizer, and dessert which we shared. Each person ordered their own entree. I had the strawberry salad it was delicious and fresh! For entree I had the cast iron chicken with gnocchi. My husband had the gulf shrimp pasta he was not impressed. The salty malty dessert however was delicious and a table favorite! The service was lacking and felt rushed, our server was distracted. It was a Sunday night, and the place was packed, so I can understand, but my guests were irritated because she didn’t bring certain things ( like water, or a drink) and when she would come back they would have to ask again and she still would forget. The restaurant as I said was packed, and it was very loud. The food plating and presentation was impressive. I had picked this restaurant with high hopes, but my pick ended up being the least favorite of the group.

We had reservations for three and were seated promptly upon arriving. We had a food server, Andrew, and a drink server, Chanel. The restaurant was incredibly packed (4/22/22) so people watching was fun. We each ordered a cocktail and read through the menu. It took way too long to get our drinks almost 30 minutes. We also ordered a bottle of wine to have with dinner. Our food came out too fast actually before we even got our cocktails. Then I had to stop who appeared to be a manager and ask for our wine to come. He did bring it and did a nice job pouring and kept an eye on replenishing. The food was very good. Two had the soup special which was crab and asparagus. I had the spinach salad, it was fresh and just the right amount of salad dressing. For entrees we each had something different. I had the blackened red fish which was nice. The others had smoked oysters and the brussel slaw, both were good. We enjoyed the atmosphere and food just not the service. Although very pleasant, I did not feel engaged in anyway with either server. We were simply passers-by if you will. The cute hostess as we left was adorable and made up for some of that. I’m just glad the restaurants are back open and finding staff. I might return I might not.

We loved the atmosphere and service in this New Orlean’s staple, but found the food to generally feel overpriced for what we received. The location right off Jackson Square is perfect and they’ve done a great job of creating a first class dining experience in a gorgeous haunted mansion. So many wonderful details, from the chandeliers and art in the dining rooms to the wonderfully creepy Seance Room upstairs - take your cocktail up there and don’t miss out. Our server, CD, was terrific, certainly a unique individual, whose table side conversation added a lot to our dining experience. Thank you for bringing my husband a little birthday treat! Much of the food was simply ok, which I hesitate to say, but most of what we ate left me a bit underwhelmed. The best things we had were the chicken - a large portion perfectly cooked with a crackly skin, the goat cheese crepes - a tangy delight, and my shrimp and grits were creamy, buttery heaven. I also recommend the bread pudding for dessert. It was really lovely. I’m glad I tried Muriel’s, I think everyone should visit once, but I have other haunts in the French Quarter I prefer to this one.

We celebrated my mom’s birthday here and had a delicious meal and great service. Our server Alex, was friendly and gave us great recommendations and shared the story about the ghost who is rumored to still be in the restaurant. We sat in the front dining room, it was a bit dark and loud at times, but it wasn’t unpleasant. It was nice to have a view of street to add some people watching with dinner. Next time I will ask to sit on the patio on the second floor, it was just way too hot even at 7PM to eat outside. We ordered two salads - The Wedge and the Underground - both were flavorful and not too heavy but were a perfect way to start the meal, especially with the delicious bread. We ordered a half bottle of wine (Ferrari) and a glass of sangria. They had a pretty expansive wine list and we settled on the Ferrari after a recommendation from our server. For dinner we ordered the Roasted Cauliflower (vegan dish), the Pecan Crusted Drum, and the Goat Cheese & Shrimp Crepes. All of the dishes were flavorful and great portions. The drum was meaty, however the pecan crust was a bit bland. The sauce it came with helped, but could have used a bit more. The crepes were delicious, savory and very rich! Would get that again! The cauliflower was also very tasty and nice to have a vegan option that wasn’t fake meat or deep fried. Alex brought a slice of chocolate cake with a candle and 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream for us to enjoy for my mom’s birthday. It was rich, deep chocolate flavor and a perfect way to end a delicious dinner.

For us Muriel’s Jackson Square is a historic and very quirky (in a great way) restaurant that happens to have great food and service. The food is excellent and the service is great as well. Also don’t leave without asking for a tour, as there are several levels of seating, a ghost room and a great seance room. This is a great restaurant with a lot of extras.

Very nice, cozy atmosphere. Beautiful old "Nawlins" architecture and decor. Service was excellent, friendly staff. The food also was outstanding. The shrimp and grits tasted very good. Double cut pork chop was moist, tasty and tender. The chocolate cake was incredible, but was more a piece of soft fudge than cake. Very impressed with the whole experience, will be back when I'm in town again.

This place is amazing, hunted yet amazing! The staff are outstanding, and the food will make your mouth water. We got an Onion tart, yummy! Salomon and Redfish were delicious and the Pork chop was great as well. The dessert were delicious, chocolate tort was heavy and rich. The drink in the picture was Honey Child, very tasty.

Fantastic meal! It’s a great place to celebrate a birthday or other special occasion. The set meal is an awesome deal and all our choices were yummy. The bisque and grits were the best I’ve had this whole trip. The bread pudding was out of this world. It’s a place I’d definitely go to again next time I’m in town. The location is also fantastic and close to everything.

Fantastic brunch! So happy they were able to accommodate us on a packed Sunday without a reservation! Food and drinks were outstanding. Spinach salad was perfectly dressed and bananas foster french toast was outstanding! My husband loved the 3 course brunch menu and you cannot beat it for the price! Service was impeccable and we loved the courtyard dining experience. Would definitely return anytime we are visiting Nola!

I started with snapping turtle soup, then shrimp and goat cheese crepes. I went on to pecan crusted drum and finished with bread pudding. A sweet port topped off the meal. This was one of the most incredible culinary experiences I've ever embarked on. Do visit Muriel's. It will likely be the highlight of your trip.

Came here for the Sunday Jazz brunch and really enjoyed the live music as they were going up to different tables playing requested tunes. The customer service was very nice and waitresses were attentive. I ordered the wedge salad and the duck hash. I can say the salad was delicious and filling but the hash fell short as it was extremely dry even with the poached eggs, sauce on top. I’m sure they have better options but the meal I chose wasn’t it. Overall, my experience was ok as the live music and mimosa was nice.

Don’t miss the wonderful place to eat and have a drink in NOLA!! Make a reservation and arrive early so that you can enjoy the seance lounges upstairs. It was so fun to see and experience! The food was delicious and beautifully delivered. The service was wonderful. Everything we ate, we loved! Even the turtle soup, but the goat cheese crepes with crawfish was our favorite appetizer.

Great food, beautiful restaurant. Really cool haunting story too if you’re into that type of thing. Wife and I got 3-course meal and couldn’t find one thing we didn’t like. Shrimp and goat cheese crepes were amazing, pork chops were mind blowing good, and bread pudding was to die for. I’m not even a bread pudding fan but this one was 10/10

Heard about this place from our ghost tour guide who was a local. So glad he told us about it, it was by far our favorite meal of the trip! (And yes we went to all the famous spots they tell you about, this was the best.) We came in early and got drinks and took them upstairs on the balcony and the lounge. Very cool building history. They play into the haunted history but without being gimmicky. I went for the 3 course meal. Great value for only $50. I needed help to finish the dessert! We had two waiters who were great and friendly and the food came out pretty fast. I’m glad we saved this for the last night, it made a great ending.

My husband and I were on a 3 week road trip to the south from Canada. Muriel's was recommended to us through a Facebook group as "the" place to go for one special dinner while in New Orleans. It did not disappoint! We had reserved a table ahead, so we were shown to a beautiful, private table by the window. Tables were divided by hanging screens of prints, so aside from the ambience of the entire room, Monet was my backdrop! We had 3 separate servers. One who took our beverage order and made sure we had full glasses for the evening (I started with a Vampire's Kiss); another who attentively guided us through the menu to design a perfect meal a separate server who quietly whisked away our dishes, when done. The meal was fantastic and flowed casually, as we requested, so we could savor the evening. It was a rainy night, so looking out on the old street and nearby piazza, it felt very European. After dinner we were allowed to self tour the upstairs, which was a posh expanse of elegance. Also, there is a ghost!! and they set a table for him every night. Don't miss this classy, scrumptious, gem of a place, while in New Orleans. Most memorable meal of our trip!
