    We were a party of four, and we enjoyed our dinner at Mr. B’s. Rah was our server, and he took great care of us. For appetizers we enjoyed the Truffle fries and the fried oysters. Delicious! For entrees, we had the Filet, Gumbo yaya, Wedge salad, and Shrimp & Grits. All was Wonderful for dessert. We shared the Pecan pie and the Crème Brûlée. Would definitely dine again.

    All of the savory dishes, gumbo, boudin, BBQ shrimp and grits were excellent. The praline bread pudding might have been the highlight alongside the boudin.

    I enjoyed the spacious 1st floor dining space, and my waiter (Donny) was good. The food, an artichoke spaghetti dish, was unimpressive (not hot, noodles clumped together), but my dirty martini was on point! Their pre-dinner bread was great.

    AMAZING experience! When we arrived our table wasn’t ready yet and the host gave us a mini private tour of the seance room and balcony. We got to see the ghost table (ask if someone alive is eating there tonight before you go take photos). When we were seated we had outstanding service and delicious food. The filet mignon and salmon were both perfectly cooked. I enjoyed the “honey child” cocktail which was the perfect level of sweet. We went for our anniversary and revived a complimentary crème brûlée topped with candles. I highly recommend the pumpkin crème brûlée if they still have it when you go!

    The redfish was the best I’ve had in NOLA up to this point. Brussel sprouts were delish along with the pork belly. Bread pudding with the English toffee was incredible. Services top notch. A very good culinary experience.
