A great dining experience with excellent service. The waiters were so knowledgeable and lovely to chat with. We enjoyed almost every dish we ordered, the recommendations were spot on. Stand outs were the scallops, espresso mocktini, and the French onion soup. Would skip the oysters next time. Special thanks to ‘General’ Roland and Mayur. Party of 4 for a birthday dinner. Darla was absolutely amazing and so gracious. She was knowledgeable about the menu and entire restaurant. We enjoyed a delicious meal that included charbroiled oysters, French onion soup, autumn beet salad, Grillades De Fruits De Mer, Crabmeat Crusted Redfish, creamed spinach, Pompano Pontchartrain, bread pudding, and creme brulee. We got a tour of the restaurant and learned Antione's history as well! Thank you, Darla. We recognized that you take pride in your service and it shows. I am glad to say that I have finally gotten to experience the historic Antoine's restaurant. Unfortunately, some of the finer details were lacking. The gumbo was outstanding, and so was the bread pudding dessert. Our server was prompt, friendly, and took care of everything we needed in a timely and accurate manner. I took a star away for the atmosphere simply because the rooms are large and loud, though we could still carry on a conversation. For the price point of the food, I would have expected a little more. The flavors were on point, but my fish was overcooked, and my husband's lobster dish was exceptionally rich (unbalanced). Some real boosts to the experience would be more comfortable chairs, better food presentation, and a fairer price point for the food.

What an amazing experience we had! I can’t stop thinking about everything from the history of the building, our amazing service from the dynamic father and daughter team, Murphy and Megan and the food. We came for brunch and had a private room for our large party. We had bottomless mimosas that were made with GOOD French bubbles and never once had to ask for a refill. I had the gumbo and Redfish Amandine. I’m still thinking about it. Every single of or us enjoyed our meals but more so the entire dining experience and stores we were told about the history of the place. I will a million % come back next time I’m in New Orleans!

We ordered so much food and it was all delicious! Our servers Kat and David were the best. The highlight was the Devil coffee and the Baked Alaska. We got the crab cake, scallops and shrimp, seafood gumbo, the crab and fish along with the oyster rockerfeller. Also the staff made my cousins bday extra special
