Restaurants near House of Blues

We celebrated a birthday dinner at Mr. B’s and it couldn’t have been any better. From the minute we walked in we were greeted and seated at our reserved table. The service and food were amazing. What an awesome night out.

Brennan is simply the best restaurant in New Orleans. Every part our dining experience was perfect from being greeted at reception to having our server help my husband on with his coat. The menu choices are amazing. My husband is still talking about his redfish choice. I chose duck. It’s the best I have ever tasted. Our waiter was so friendly. We had so many different servers attending to every need imaginable. What a delightful special place to have experienced. I can’t wait to go back.

We had a wonderful Réveillon dinner experience at Tujague’s on Christmas Eve. The oysters Tujague’s were outstanding as were the duck leg confit and the short ribs. Our servers were friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. This was our first trip to New Orleans and our server even made some suggestions for other places to visit while in town. All in all it was a fantastic visit. We not only look forward to taking another trip to NOLA but making a return visit to Tujague’s as well.

As always Antoine's was excellent. Antoine's is the #1 fine dining experience available anywhere in New Orleans, and it has never disappointed. My wife and I have been coming here for 27 years and have enjoyed each visit. The staff was professional, courteous, and easy to summon if we had a request for something. They have a pride in their establishment that comes across in their dealings with customers. Very few restaurants, even in New Orleans, can say that any longer. Russell and Roland were both consummate professionals and took exceptionally good care of us. And it was great to see Charles Carter again. Charles waited on us on our first visit 27 years ago and many times since, and has always made sure we're taken care of. The Reveillon menu dishes were prepared perfectly and were delicious as always. I was pleasantly surprised to see a NY Strip as a choice for the main course and both my wife and I received our steaks cooked perfectly. We even had a special request for dessert and it was handled with no problems. If you're coming to New Orleans, Antoine's is a must. How many restaurants can say they have been in business with the same family since 1840? I hope to still be around to enjoy a visit in their 200th anniversary year in 2040.

Food and service were exceptional. We had the ceviche’ and lobster ravioli appetizers then ordered Hallibut with scallops and shrimp risotto — the signature dish — and the Parmesan-crusted sheepshead with lemon butter and browned capers served either asparagus as our main courses. Everything was perfectly prepared! We ordered 3 desserts to top it all off: the salty malty ice cream pie, the white chocolate bread pudding and the chocolate mouse in a dark chocolate dome with raspberry gelee’. Perfect evening. Except for learning at the end of the night that our parking would not be validated. We were not told to bring the parking ticket to the front desk at the beginning of the night. If you go to GW Finn’s and expect to get parking validated, do not pay the garage when you park (despite the fact that all of the signs in the garage and the boots on cars are somewhat threatening in there). Instead, take your unpaid parking garage ticket directly to the front desk at the restaurant for validation with a picture of your license plate. This was the only sour note of our evening. Otherwise, it was perfect!
