Bistreaux

The only reason we came over here, was because we had a vouchers for a breakfast.
I opted to order the Corned Beef Hash, as I never tried it before– big mistake!
The food wasn’t bad, per se, but wasn’t great, either. Our water was friendly, and the service was great, but there will not be a second visit. I think there’s better restaurants in NOLA worth experiencing.
Two and Half Unilocal

Great food. Great bar. Great service. Friendly staff. Beautiful location. Menu is very interesting and includes items not seen anywhere else. I will definitely go back and give the rest of the menu a try.

Friendly staff when making a reservation. Food was decent until the pork for the main course was very undercooked. We were not sure the staff understood that undercooked pork is not a preference, it’s a demand for food safety. Also, besides redoing the dish, there was not an offer of anything from management as I watched my friends eat, and then they watched me. Not the Reveillon dinner we were expecting for Christmas for that price.

The food is pretty excellent. The service is extremely bad. Do not let there be more than 2 people in here when you come. You will literally wait forever for everything. And it was freezing inside. My truffle fries were cold before i really got through them, and I’m by no means a slow eater.
Dishes from the previous course hung around a lot longer than I appreciated or than they really should have. And when I moved them to edge of the table to make life easier for the server, he just continued to walk past them, even when he gave me the bill before i was ready (I wanted to order dessert). I dunno.
Took a very long time to get my dessert as well. Ice cream began to melt before it got to me. Guess it was fitting that I ate it with a soup spoon since I wasnt given a dessert spoon.
I wish I could say it was a bad day, but it was the same the first time I was here too. I was hoping the second time would be the charm, but naaaaaaah. Step it up y’all!!!

To add to the chorus: the menu states happy hour from 3 – 6 but nowhere does it say HH is only M-​F. So, I had to argue with the poor server, who called over the manager, who comped my drink but seemed dismissive when I suggested that they should update their menu to reflect HH days? I appreciate the comped drink, but really, I just wanted to pay the price as stated on the menu.

Ate here twice, because it’s connected to our hotel and we had complimentary breakfast vouchers. The service is horrendous. The food was basic, but for being free we didn’t mind it. But the service is inexcusable bad. I don’t know how you have two busyboys and one waiter at a hotel restaurant during convention season. Don’t waste your time. Go to Café du Mond, Ruby Slippers or District Donuts instead.

Absolutely awful food. Overpriced and skimpy portions. I ordered Gumbo which tasted like water with beans and rice, no seasoning, also no bread or crackers. My husband had a platter of so called smoked meats with dried up french bread, tasteless meats. Service was good but couldn’t make up for possibly the worst meal I have ever eaten out.

The absolute worst meal my family and I had while visiting New Orleans. We had breakfast here and my eggs were under cooked and runny, while my mom’s were overcooked. Plain and tasteless. Service was fine, but the food was beyond disappointing.
If you’re looking for a great breakfast in the French Quarter, try Eat.

This place has a great location the bank is awesome but the service is miserable. Our waitress didn’t even bother to come back and ask if we wanted anything they just gave us our drink ignored us for the rest of our stay.
Can’t really rate food since they never came by to offer even after being calling for them just looked away!

We stumbled upon this place just walking around NOLA. The restaurant is connected to hotel Maison Dupuy, and the atmosphere is dim lit with jazz music playing, not a scene for people who are looking to have fun.
They started us with bread which was terrible, but I’m from New York so our bread is way different than the bread here.
I ordered the Caesar salad, it was good, but nothing great. The service was good and the food came out quick but that was really the only good thing about eating there

Excellent food. I expected good but got fantastic. One of the best meals I’ve had in NOLA.

Went to Bistreaux on Christmas Day.
Horrendous, horrific, slow service. Rude waitstaff. Overpriced (lack) of food.
In full disclosure, we did not have a reservation, however they said that they could accommodate seating us, and we were seated. It was all downhill from there.
We did not receive menus for 30 minutes, at which point one of us went up to the hostess table and grabbed enough menus for the group.
Another 30 minutes passed, and no one had come to provide water or take our order.
We had to get up again to ask if we had a waiter. The manager was confused and thought that someone had taken our order. (We were sitting directly in front of her, and the restaurant only has ~20 tables.)
Another hour later we finally received our food: two salads, 8 ravioli, and six shrimp on a plate.
After having to ask for the check, our waiter quite literally asked if the credit card in the bill was what he was supposed to use to pay the bill… which was $ 100 for 0 service, 2 salads, 8 ravioli and 6 shrimp… needless to say, we had to go somewhere else to actually get some food (and service) after this meal from hell.

We made a reservation for 7 PM on Christmas Day, and we were really looking forward to it, but we got a call that our reservation was cancelled. Since the restaurant was only two blocks from us, we stopped by to see what the problem was and the manager told us that the chef didn’t order enough food. What? Total mismanagement.
So, even though the manager told us he would help find us somewhere else, and pay for the cab, it was no use. I me am, it’s Christmas Day.
We were left to stand in a long line in the cold to get a meal we really didn’t want.
Maybe the food is good. We never found out.

Came for dinner. Squash pasta was swimming in butter, brie gnocchi was served in a tiny bowl– 5 pieces along with crab shell bits. We had two enjoyable salads. No drinks. $ 45 was a bit steep. We left in search more food elsewhere.

I had one of the best experiences at this restaurant! It was my boyfriends 30^th birthday and we came all the way from Los Angeles to celebrate. I had made reservations at a steak house close by but plans didn’t go as plans. Since we stayed at Maison Dupuy hotel we decided to eat at the hotel. NY hanger steak with truffle fries was so good! Service was what topped it off! KELLY (manager) and Charles (sous chef) made it a special evening. They really made us feel at home and made my boyfriends birthday extra special! Thank you so much for that «southern hospitality «, until next time!

Our favorite was the deviled eggs and mac n cheese… and incredible breakfast.
Easy going and casual dining.

Ehhhh. Service was great, but the food was mediocre. Didn’t expect much especially since it was a hotel restaurant in the French Quarter.
The scallops and gulf shrimp dish had good flavor, but the portion was tiny. My husband got the smoked salmon flat bread which was disappointing. It was a lox cream cheese spread with some capers and arugula on top. Nothing to write home about.

Trying to be a 5 star restaurant with the service and bar of a 2 star restaurant
Four of us had dinner there tonight. The food was actually pretty good BUT there were some things lacking first no bread basket if you order ala carte you get ala carte. However the menu does not support the ala carte. Next if you order a crab and tomato you should get more than 2 pieces of crab. Portions are small
Now to service the bar was horrible I’m glad Gabriel likes being a bartender but should think about a new career drinks were weak and when one of our party went to get a refill even though the bar was almost empty he just acted like she did not exist. Our server Nicky was good but the food did not come out for all four of us at the same time this was I believe beyond her control based on the lapse of time between
For the cost ($ 100 not including drinks) go some place else

1 OF 7 RESTAURANTS I HAD TO REVISIT BEFORE MOVING OUT OF THE QUARTER. Yep, after almost 20 years I’m happily headed back Uptown! So this final week I’ve decided to follow my cravings and begrudgingly Bistreaux is a «must do» for their:
TRUFFLE OIL MAC & CHEESE, it’s simply the best i’ve ever had.
BUT Bistreaux is consistently disappointing…
snarky service
overpriced
and word has it…
THEY’RE PAINTING OVER THE FOLLIES BERGÈRE MURAL!

It was our last night in New Orleans and we wanted to find a restaurant near our hotel (Hotel St. Pierre
). We walked into the bar area around 6:30 pm and opted to stay there because the menu was more appealing and reasonably priced than the connecting restaurant.
The bartender, who was also our primary server, was very nice and the drinks I had (basil gimlet, Pimm’s cup) were both quite good.
The food was also quite tasty. My honey and I split a ceasar salad and for my main dish I ordered the red fish (local fish of the day) that came with mashed potatoes and fresh veggies (tomatoes, spinach and corn). The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly — a little bit flaky but still nice a moist.
Although the food and drinks were four to five stars, I am holding steady at three because the service was hit and miss and the music was really annoying. Although the bartender was very nice and made great drinks, the timing was really off during our entire meal and we weren’t able to order our second drinks until halfway through our meal. Not a problem for my Pimm’s cup but my honey really wanted a glass of wine with his entrée. The headache inducing music was a unsuccessful mashup of the fantastic live music drifting in from the connecting restaurant and the ‘meh’ top 40s hits being played in the bar area.
