Best Casual Restaurants in New Orleans

We arrived a few minutes early and was seated at our reservation time. Waiter came right over to introduce himself and discuss drinks. We ordered a sidecar and a glass of rosè. For food we ordered the mardi gras shrimp (8/10), caesar salad (9/10), gumbo (10/10), broiled red snapper (9/10), lamb chops (10/10), seafood mac and cheese (7/10), & baked potato (6/10). Food came out pretty quick and was hot. Overall, food was good especially the gumbo and lamb chops. The food is a bit pricey but for a special occasion its worth it.

First time at Luke before a proposal! New brunch spot for us. Wait staff, management, and food were all above par. Murder point oysters were great and you could tell they cleaned the shells which you don’t see often. Pork belly app melted with each bite in the best way. Shrimp and grits/green tomato Benedict were unreal. Big thank you to all the Luke staff for being an unforgettable part of our very special day.

My wife and I ate here for Valentine’s Day. We had the Oyster Bordelaise appetizer to start. The oyster were cooked perfectly, with a light batter but still an excellent texture and very tasteful seasoning and accompaniment. Caesar salad was also ordered and one of the better salads I’ve had in a quite some time. I order the 6oz Steak and my wife had the shrimp pasta. The pasta was cooked perfectly, excellent sauce and sizeable shrimp (also cooked nicely) Steak was great and so were the roasted potato and mushroom argodolce. First time there. We will definitely be back. Service was also excellent.

Ms. Chalaine was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food was delicious. We recommend the Eggs Benedict, Eggs Sardou, and, of course, the Bananas Foster. The Brennan's Bloody Mary is one of the best, if not the best. Dining at Brennan's is an enjoyable and relaxing experience.

An amazing experience from the moment we walked into the restaurant. We were met and greeted at the reservation desk by the manager Ian Turkmen, a led in a beautiful setting where Rickie (our waiter) guides us through a wonderful 3 course meal. There were 9 of us and you never know if all the entrees ill turn out right, they were perfect, and the baked Alaska at the end was to die for. Truly a great experience all around, also a great wine list!
