Restaurants near Clay Square

Everyone was friendly and warm! More delicious food than we could eat! If you have a chance to celebrate a birthday here, just know that you will have a blast! Couldn’t have ended our stay on a brighter note than this charming, delightful restaurant! (And try the Bananas Foster, even if you don’t especially like bananas, the sauce even just on the vanilla ice cream, the story, it’s worth it even if you end up feeding most of the banana to your dining companion. ^_^) Six star service!

Wonderful experience, again! Took our visiting friend for lunch! Everything was superb! Started with the Frozen Cranberry Martini, move on to the baked oysters, split the best red fish almondaine ever and house salad with 2 great dressings! Oh forgot the puff potatoes, make sure you gobble them up when they come out warm! Had a minor mess up when the put sauce on top of seafood omelette, but corrected it immediately, and it was so light and fluffy and so full of crabmeat and shrimp! Couldn’t ask for a better experience dining at this iconic place! Back to being my go-to spot!

It was such a wonderful experience. The food was amazing, and I couldn’t help but rave about it to anyone who’d listen. The service was fantastic they were efficient and friendly. The decor and ambience were so clean, chic, and beautiful. I cannot recommend this place enough!!

Excellent service from Susan. She allowed us plenty of time to enjoy a leisurely meal while still being very attentive. We ordered drinks and the Boudin & Grits appetizer. My wife's Woodford Reserve on the rocks was a generous pour. The bonding was full of flavor, and combined with the other ingredients was quite amazing. Next, we ordered the Crabmeat Maison. Wow, a large portion of outstanding lump crabmeat served with crackers and cocktail sauce. Both small plates were enough to split. We split the smoked short rib entre. We probably could have each had our own, but we were still satisfied. The smokiness was wonderful. It was served over Butternut squash with black-eyed peas and cranberries. Again, an excellent and unique combination of flavors. We will definitely return on our next visit to New Orleans.

This is perhaps the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. It is a high end place but the value for the quality is excellent. The food was outstanding from the warm biscuits to the fabulous lobster dumplings to the Pompano fish to the bread pudding dessert. All four of us raved about our meals. The servers were wonderful. The noise level was pretty high. One server did put the entre and the dessert in front if the wrong person but that's the only possible criticism I can offer. This was an amazing dining experience.
