Super super disappointed in this place. Travel all over the world for food and this place was highly recommended by locals as one of the best restaurants. Let me preface by saying they have a tasting menu for $150 or you can order ala carte. For us, we assumed the service would match the menu pricing. Unfortunately far from the truth. After dining the night before at Saffron Nola where the food, cocktails and service were top notch, this place fell way short. Hostess took us to a counter that wasn’t ready. Gave us new plates but never wiped the tables. Service felt like fast food.. dump and run. Waitress wasn’t personable… didn’t talk about the food at all, barely spoke to us. At these prices, expected better. Good was ok but nothing spectacular.. would not recommend or return.

Had the tasting menu, the grand one. Lot of fun and tasty bites. Some were better than others but overall, a good meal. Maybe a little pricey for the end result but still flavorful and well presented. Service was very good.

Maypop is one of the most unique restaurants in the City. The menu consists of Asian fusion specialties. Never quite sure what the menu describes, as the ingredients are exotic, the flavors blend to a down home comfort food. The short rib debris was one of the best dishes in the City. Trust your carefully trained servers, their recommendations always are always spot on.

We had the tasting menu and it was a great choice to experience many different dishes. Really nice space and well-appointed dining area. The food was delicious and the portions were appropriate for the price. Maypop is a must if you want a break from the typical New Orleans food offerings.

Only issue was parking i know not restaurant issue as the city has blocked many spots which are unnecessary due to the collapse of the building across the street, we usually come here prior to going to events at Sanger but tonight had a 2nd parking cost but understand same but just hated to pay another 30 bucks to visit, Food and service was dynamite

It’s a beautiful atmosphere….well done! I was not as blown away by the food. The meals came out temped at best, and the flavors (in my opinion) were not complimentary. The vinegar flavor was in the forefront which dominated the plate.
