    Disappointing. First our server was awkward and almost robotic. Not unfriendly but just doing the job. We had two appetizers the steak tartare which was very good. crawfish and asparagus was a no go no flavor the cup liquid on the side was thin and not especially tasty , we also had turtle soup very good. Our dinners were just ok nothing to rave over my fish was overcooked. I expected a great meal and was let down.

    Food and service were top-notch. Our great experience began when I called to ask if there was an earlier reservation available and the wonderful host, Velvet, was able to notify us when a table became available. The restaurant was very busy due to Tulane University's graduation weekend, but we were still able to get seated early. We were celebrating my mother's birthday, and the staff wished her a happy birthday upon arrival, and the table was set with "Happy Birthday " menus. Our server, Angel, was amazing and gave exceptional service. The food was delicious and was delivered as requested and the staff provided my mom with a birthday dessert which made her day. Thanks to the entire staff.

    Perfect place for a Sunday brunch. Though the menu was good (not excellent), I ended up preferring their city breakfast and truffle fries the best. However, their carrot-ginger bisque soup was hands-down the best soup I've ever tasted (to date). As for service, excellent. The front manager was working the guests like a politician to make sure they had a great experience. He switched out my main plate for another when he sensed a slight displeasure. I originally had a savory veal entree that was more suited for dinner than brunch (in my opinion), and I was fixing for a brunch. Overall, I had an excellent experience! Thank you.

    Ralph's is always considered a go to place for a fine dining experience. Rarely are we disappointed, but yesterday was one of those times. Setting was great. Service was great. But seeing as you can't eat the surroundings or the service, it comes down to the food. Appitisers were good and, in general, the food was favorful. My daughter and I ordered the same dish, the grillades from the three course brunch. The meat was tough and served barely warm. I probably would have sent it back but there were five of us and I didn't want to hold things up so we just let it go. The others in our party seemed to enjoy their choices though my wife did not care too much for the crawfish cakes. Our server, Ellen, was very nice and took care of us very well. While I'm in the critical mode, dress codes should be enforced. I understand acceptable attire has become more casual, but if people wish to dress like pigs, they should not be admitted to spoil the dining experience for others. on a positive note, our dog seemed to enjoy the leftovers without complaint.

    Amazing restaurant with Delicious food but the noise level is very uncomfortable. Impossible to converse without shouting. Restaurant needs to address the noise problem and modify restaurant accordingly.

    Delicious cocktails! Two of us ordered the redfish and both had bones and scales in them. Unpleasant to eat. And too many spicy things on the menu. Redfish was my only option.
