We stayed at Nopsi Hotel during the snow storm. Everyone at public service bar and restaurant were just so hospitable and kind. There were very few places to eat within downtown New Orleans and they were amazing in providing food for so many people. We really appreciate their work.

Waited almost an for avocado toast. The toast was one small piece of bread. There was nothing on it but avocado and some tomatoes. The server brought me some nasty scrambled eggs to put on top of it. Drinks took a half hour. I usually like this restaurant so not sure what was going on that day, but everything was horrible. At least they comped the food, but drinks should have been comped too.

Took 25 minutes to get service. It was a saints Sunday so it got a little busy but just to get asked what to drink was poorly orchestrated. Thank goodness our reservation was 3 full hours before the game started and we were still late to the game due to poor service. When finally approached by a waitress we were not greeted in a professional fashion. It was like we were a burden to be there! I certainly will not come back to this restaurant. After a long wait the food was just mediocre.

The convenience of dining in the hotel was great. There were hits and misses. Ribs and gumbo were a missed opportunity. Seafood pasta, crab cakes, and vegetable flat bread were great! Breakfast was good. Service was too slow for this Los Angeles girl. Also food need to be served quickly- ask the table if they want to be served all at once or as the food is done. Most people prefer hot food over all at once. Breakfast service was too slow for trying to get up and out. Staff was helpful and the service was professional and accommodating. I would stay and eat here again. Need to work out a few kinks.
