We went for lunch. My husband had seafood gumbo and jumbalaya and I had the shrimp creole. Whoa! It was really good! I tasted my husband's food as well and it was really good. I am a real pain when it comes to food and this was really good. My dish, the shrimp creole, probably had about 50 shrimp in... More

We didn’t have reservations tonight (a Saturday in the Quarter) so wandered a while. We chose this restaurant without prior research. It looked authentic enough and was quite crowded (like most in this part of town). While pleasantly surprised that out wait for the table was not extended, it was offset by the table service. Not sure if this was... More

Sole almondine dripping in grease. Chicken (stuffed with shrimp and crab) was dry and tough. Vegetables so over-cooked they'd lost their color -- their origins appeared to have been a Costco mixed veggie bag. Do not waste your money on this place.

We chose this as a place to experience some local cooking. While not disappointed, portions were generous and flavoursome, was let down by presentation and combination on plate. My first time to have crawfish and catfish, enjoyed both, the latter under name Catfish Antoine. Fish was flavoursome but together with rice and vegetables was just one big messy pile when... More

We chose this restaurant after a long late fight in to New Orleans and not yet being familiar with the area. It was quiet, the restaurant being on Royal St., away from the noise and crowd of Bourbon St. Just what was needed after travel. The food was average. We had etoufee and shrimp creole. Service was fast and attentive.... More

We made the #1 mistake when choosing a restaurant, and that was not to check tripadvisor. We chose this restaurant because the French Quarter was packed, we were hungry, and this place was where we were when we decided to eat. Everything about it was off. The food was lukewarm and mediocre. Service was uninterested when it was obvious we... More

We had a great dinner. The staff was awesome. John, Matt the waiter, incredible. Bartender great as well. You won't be disappointed. Food was so good. Not one negative comment.

We enjoyed a delicious meal of crawfish and crab cakes, etouffee and catfish. Tasty without being loaded with salt. But was it worth the wait? I can appreciate that we should all slow down and enjoy our time at the dinner table, perhaps especially when in the French Quarter, but this service was glacial. Even an order of bread pudding...

We happened upon Pere Antoine as we were wandering the French Quarter. Were so glad we decided to stop in and have lunch. Our waitress was perky and efficient, the food was delectable and the prices reasonable. The atmosphere, sitting by the open windows looking out on the corner of Ann and Royal couldn't be beat!
