Best Cajun Restaurants in Garden District

Very nice setup for two or many to dine. Make reservation as is very popular. Wait staff extremely active and very friendly to all giving best service and quality of dining. Duck gumbo very good as were fish dinner. The pork chop good but a bit small for the price. Nice dessert given to us as a recognition of our celebration of our anniversary.

We had a reservation for three and we’re seated on-time in the main dining room. We started off with cocktails and the Waygu Beer Carpaccio dish with beets. The appetizer was absolutely delicious with the acid of the beets nicely pairing with the flavors of the thinly sliced Waygu beef… the dish was topped with fried shallots that provided a nice texture as well as additional flavor profiles. Our second course was the Turtle Soup. The soup was absolutely delicious with pulled meat in the dish along with a nice amount of dry sherry… we had the same soup the night before at Commander’s and Atchafalaya made this dish much better!!! For the meal, I had the pan seared Gulf fish. The fish was prepared to perfection… my husband and father had the Duck Confit which was as also perfectly done. The wait staff was wonderful… they kept the water glasses and wine glasses full and offered insightful comments on the menu items. Overall the meal was fantastic… the ambience and noise level were great… we were able to enjoy a meal together with a wonderful conversation even my father with hearing aides was able to hear the conversation and participate! I highly recommend Atchafalaya for that special meal or just a night out with the girls… you will love your meal and experience.

We had a lovely evening at Muriel’s. The service was excellent. My husband and I had the three course dinner. All the food was very good. My pecan crusted fish was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and creative. After our meal we were told that we could access the second floor bar. We enjoyed the ambiance and go great photos from the second floor balcony. Highly recommend!

Great menu! The cold menu is perfect for appetizers. Wait staff was very on and professional. Really great gem uptown.

The food was excellent. Loved my BBQ shrimp appetizer. Fish special was also over the top.
