Marigny9: Award-wining cheesemonger opens a 2nd location in NOLA. Fine cheeses & charcuterie with cafe seating. Worth the walk into the CBD. Finish off your field trip with a visit nextdoor to Revelator Coffee.
Georgia Andrews: Look at those cheese bites. Just look at them. (Great mac & cheese, salads, probably everything else)
BC 😎🎶: Best mimosas! Must try the lemon ricotta pancakes!

max L: Triple tail and duck confit are amazing
TripExpert: A tip from one of our professional reviewers, Fodors: "At Gautreau's, even the simple roasted chicken satisfies, and everyone should indulge in the caramelized banana split at least once." Read more.
Cheryn Robles: Roasted corn soup with lump crab was an amazing first course, gnudi and red snapper entrees were fresh and flavorful but the rhubarb tart won the evening competition.

Abigail Gullo: Steve is an amazing bartender. I have yet to even see the dining room, but both my experiences at the bar have been divine. My rabbit was delicious as was the savory sage pain perdu.
Eater: Chef Drew Lockett cooks impressive rustic bistro fare, and a wealth of raw bar options that dazzle. Also, they're open until midnight, Wednesday-Saturday.
David Schwartz: Great menu, great service and an all-around great find. They revitalized this former legendary New Orleans Favorite. You must try the Gulf Fish Almandine and get some Raw Oysters while you are at it.

Alexa Bollinger: Awesome lobster entree. Filet was fabulous too! Crab and shrimp cakes great as well as the oysters. House bread is phenomenal! Banana Creme Brule was amazing too!
Kyle Villyard: CRAB AND CORN BISQUE, LUMP CRABMEAT AND SHRIMP CAKES, WHOLE CRISPY FLOUNDER.
Joey Moore: Kimberly was our "server" and gave us what may be the worst service I have ever experienced in NoLa. Bee's Knees was a great cocktail but I was not overly impressed with the food.
