- ASAshleigh SmithJan 5, 20265.0We were here for New Year’s Eve dinner. The food was delicious!! One of the best meals we ate during our week in New Orleans. Malik our server was awesome and made sure we had a great meal. We would definitely go back!
- RLr lJan 2, 20265.0Our server Malik and the manager, a gentleman from South Africa(sorry I didn't get your name) went above and beyond for us(3) on NYE. Our celebration was unforgettable because of these two men. Thank you for your excellent service and kudos to the chef.
- CCChrisDec 28, 20251.0I must express my profound dissatisfaction with my recent dining experience, which I consider to be the most unsatisfactory I have ever encountered. I believe this establishment is significantly overrated. In my professional opinion, the culinary staff responsible for the preparation of my meal should be reevaluated. The fried chicken was notably overcooked and excessively salty. The scrambled egg toast, advertised as containing cheese, lacked any discernible cheese flavor. Furthermore, the shrimp and grits dish contained an insufficient quantity of grits. Upon bringing these concerns to the attention of the waiter, I was informed that this was the establishment's "standard." This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I have ever had.
- TYT YDec 28, 20255.0We were advised by a local that Miss River was a must do for dinner. We were surprised, given the name, that we were not able to see the Riverfront. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was very nice. Our server was very knowledgeable regarding the menu and the local history. We had crab cakes, chicken Cesar salad, and blackened fish: all of it was delicious. We would definitely go again.
- GBGloria BoyerDec 26, 20251.0This waiter must have been a new employee our meal came out before our appetizer, the waiter toke our main course back to the kitchen, when they brought out our main course again my dinner was cool a little heat but not much, we had oyster for our appetizers and they were grate only thing I had to ask for was for more horseradish only and the person helping our waiter could not understand that, he had to go back several times to the kitchen to get us more horseradish because they gave you very little I was hard to make him under we only wanted horseradish not the sauce, so my NY strips was very chewy cut up a few pieces and ate them, but I had him take it back and ordered more oyster still had to pay for the NY but it is what it is, We will not be eating there again. Make reservations for 4 even if you have 2 in your party the seats for two is very uncomfortable
