On a recent trip to New Orleans for the ANA Money Show, I visited Galatoire's restaurant in the French Quarter at 209 Bourbon Street, which was a short walk from the Sheraton 4 Points on Bourbon Street where I was staying. Jackets are required for admission to the restaurant for dinner at Galatoire's. I had the shrimp remoulade for an... More

Being a huge fan of the original Galatoire's in New Orleans, it was easy to be mislead by other posts here that my first experience at the Baton Rouge Bistro would have been extremely disappointing. In fact, I am always skeptical when an "institution" restaurant tries to expand into new markets and re-create, in one fell swoop, what took over... More

We were extremely pleased with our entire evening here. Peter, our waiter, made suggestions, and was very attentive.My husband had the shrimp remoulade which he thought was fantastic.I would get the bread pudding again any day! The restaurant is beautiful and made for a wonderful night.

We hoped for a special nite out with friends but food was rather bland and uninspired. This is an upscale restaurant from which we expected better.

While we were enticed by the reviews and even the recommendations of some NOLA natives, Galatoire's was a disappointment. Admittedly, the atmosphere was wonderful - however, the service and food were both very disappointing. Our waiter seemed less than interested in serving us, we were clearly not regulars deserving of his attention. After eating at soooo many wonderful restaurants in... More

We sat on the sidewalk terrace and watched the flotsam and jetsam of bourbon street roll past. It was an entertaining way to spend a couple of hours in the early evening. The drinks were pretty good, the apps (oysters and wings) we had were surprisingly tasty and the service was attentive. Would recommend for a spot of "people" watching.... More

This is one of the city's oldest, most famous restaurants. It's fancy, you don't go in as a tourist off the street wearing shorts and a t-shirt, so check the website for attire requirements. I was here for a party, so we had a private room with balcony access upstairs. We were given a prixe fixe menu, but they were... More

Stopped in for dinner on a recommendation from a friend, and had a great experience. The meal and service were excellent overall. Everyone enjoyed their meat. The appetizers were fantastic - you can't go wrong with either their Oysters Rockefeller or their devilled eggs, which were especially good. I loved my beef tenderloin - cooked to perfection, and very flavourful.... More

Ever since I read about it in Gourmet magazine when I was in my teens, I had wanted to experience the famous Friday Lunch at Galatoire's. A friend and I made a reservation, then learned that the best way to do it was to go early and get your name on the list, like the locals do. We always want... More
