Service was excellent and the chef visited us at end of meal - great touch. Bibb salad fresh and very tasty. Tuna and pj forked oysters were great. Both breads a must try! The pork belly dinner was excellent and the ribeye was very good too. Wine prices were reasonable. Would highly recommend and would come back next time in New Orleans

Maypop is one of my favorite restaurants. I always suggest it as a unique dining experience for friends or strangers I meet that are visiting New Orleans. You cannot truly replicate it anywhere else. I was born and raised in New Orleans and have lived in Singapore, so the concept of blending SE Asian and Creole/Cajun/NO Italian cuisine makes a lot of sense when you have lived amongst both food cultures. Maypop blends elements of these surprisingly similar cuisines in a non-gimmicky way by creating a third cuisine that stands on its own, but could not exist without the influences of the others. I'll stop typing — just eat the current duck with blueberry hoisin and collard greens dish and that is all you will need to know.

Maypop is a neighborhood gem! It is located in the Warehouse District in New Orleans and lucky for us, is a half block from our door. The food, ambiance, service and cocktails were all spot on! We sat at the bar and thoroughly enjoyed the conversation and cocktails with our bartender and with Chef Michael. Every dish we had was perfect, but do not miss the pork belly, Chicharron and especially the Milk Tea Creme Brûlée. And Aunt Verna’s Manhattan was a perfect accompaniment! This restaurant is a MUST.

Chef was able to accommodate my many food allergies and give me a Grand Tasting menu experience that was truly sensational. Made my remote worker holiday party the talk of my virtual office colleagues. The many recommendations to come here were spot on. My server Grayson was amazing. Overall an exceptional dining experience.

We were looking forward to a dish we learned about on a television program but were disappointed to find they no longer made that dish. After making reservations we were surprised to find that we were the only customers in the restaurant. Our server was very annoying calling everyone honey and baby and with a strange laugh. Except for one dish, the duck, he food was underwhelming. They continuously refilled our cola glasses and then charged us for each refill. We will not be returning, but I doubt they will be there much longer anyway.

We did the 5 course tasting menu and it was exquisite. Definitely a culinary experience with the wine pairing. Koji ribeye melted in your mouth. The scallops were divine. I even wanted more of the pallet cleanser, it was so good.

We did the eight course tasting menu and chef John knocked it out of the park!! The progression was perfect, the spacing between courses was good and the play on southeast Asian flavors was right on the money . Look forward to my next trip to NOLA.
