After reading the reviews about Eat, we decided to it it a try. Not quite sure, either they had a slow start after being closed for vacation or got a new chef, but the food was mediocre,at the most (and so was the service). We ordered Crawfish Pie and Pot Roasted Chicken. Neither tasted freshly cooked, as if it was... more

My husband and I went there for brunch after a friend who was in town for the same event as us told us about the fantastic dinner she had there. Very cute cafe' on a corner, with huge windows for people watching. Picturesque. The food was very good, way above average. They have things like Eggs Benedict, grillades, fried green... more

Was a little nervous walking to this establishment as it was in location where I never had been in. I frequent the New Orleans area very often and was looking to try something new. The atmosphere was very low key and relaxed. The waiter was very polite and was very helpful in pointing out the best items on the menu.... more

We had dinner with friends. Out of five diners with appetizer, main course and dessert one dish was really good. The service, even for New Orleans was poor. Several dishes were very overdone. Average mid-Atlantic style food. more

My husband, two kids and I ate here for lunch while we were staying in NOLA. We wanted a place that was kid-friendly, offered authentic Louisianna food and wasn't a cookie cutter resturant. It met our needs. The resturant is a TINY little place, but has wonderful atmosphere! The place has about seven tables with huge windows which makes the... more

What a great meal we had here on our last trip to New Orleans. It was our first time at this restaurant and we were so pleased we stopped in. The name, "Eat Restaurant" didn't draw us in and the outside of the building was unpretentious, but we looked at the menu and decided to stop. We're glad we did.... more

What a great place! We'd passed it several times, as it is on the same street as the condo we rented. Tonight, on our last night in the French Quarter, we decided to stop here for dinner. What a joy. The best restaurant that we've eaten at so far. The food was excellent! Smoked brisket and burgers (we were tired... more

We went to EAT on July 14th. Nice atmosphere - reminded me of a little place in Charleston, SC. Note to owners - if for whatever reason you are out of many things on the menu - take them off of the menu!! Don't have people asking for multiple things that you don't have. No catfish, no stuffed peppers, out... more

We have a new favorite in the French Quarter. This place is clean, simple, hip, and elegant with an upscale relaxed feeling. Everything we ate tasted amazing! We especially loved the mac and cheese, curly fries, and butterbeans with shrimp and rice (you have to try this!). The service was excellent and our waiter went out of his way to... more

After reading many reviews / recommendations on Trip Advisor, my wife and I enjoyed a delicious Sunday Brunch at Eat. After checking the Eat website and seeing that BYOB was encouraged, we grabbed a bottle of white wine to enjoy. When we arrived, we were informed that it would be about a 10 - 15 minute wait, but they kindly... more
