C S: Cilantro and pineapple margarita damn good. Yucca fries and empanadas great starters. Arepas all very tasty. Chimichurri sauce amazing - could drink that on its own if that was allowed.
Aaron Wieczorek: Machete arepa, yucca
Paula Keller: So happy we tried this place. It's where Surrey's La Playa was previously. It's fully updated and the food ROCKS. Delicious Colombian arepa's. A few different yummy salsas as served with the meal.

F Silva: Yucca pork hash. Nice.
JoHanna Hill: The bottomless drink brunch. Oh my god. So good. The cauliflower paella with gulf shrimp was delicious and so was the yucca root pork hash. My mimosa was not what I am used to, but it was amazing.
Drewski: Crispy ribs, braised short ribs and brussels sprouts were standouts, but we ordered almost everything on the menu and it was all good.

cj fitzgerald: From M: If we had to pick a favorite this would be it! Charm, service, food - they have it all. Get the Pensillade Crusted Halibut or Black Angus Filet. Go for dinner.
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.

Stephanie Downes: You can't go wrong with this Hilton; clean & modern, as you'd expect. Good location, ~5-7 min walk to Bourbon St. Note that while next to the convention center, is still a 10 min walk to the entrance.
