Our hotel's bar
Chuck M.

My wife and I were booked at the Hotel de la Poste. 3rd Block Depot is the hotel's restaurant and bar. We only ate at the restaurant a couple of times for breakfast but enjoyed the bar almost each of the 5 nights we stayed at the hotel. The food was REALLY good especially the beignets we ordered twice. First were the Bananas Foster Beignets! Wow! A day later we ordered a plate of traditional Beignets covered with powdered sugar and served with a side of caramel sauce. Can you decadent and delicious? They were some of the best beignets we tried while in New Orleans. The bar was stocked to the brim and had a very friendly staff to welcome guests and prepare the perfect cocktails. Of course I had to try a Sazerac, the signature cocktail of New Orleans. The Sazerac was the first cocktail to be mixed and served in New Orleans and the United State. 3rd Block Depot's take of the cocktail, "3B Sazerac" was very good. I didn't have anything to compare it to since I had never tried one. My wife and I would grab our cocktails and head out to the hotel's beautiful courtyard. Thank you, 3rd Block Depot, for a wonderful time and great service.

A hidden gem with delicious food & good service despite it looking like they were short staffed. The peach salad was refreshing & delicious! One of the best salads I've ever had. The beignets were also good! The butternut squash gnocchi was good. All around a great meal!

The food is delicious and flavorful. The ambiance was casual. The service was great. When we first arrived, it took 2-3 minutes to be seated because the only server, who is also the host, was having a conversation with a customer. The server was friendly; he stated it was his first day after transferring to NOLA. I noticed that our server was very attentive to detail - he even asked if we had any allergies that they needed to be aware of! He even asked if we are OK with our food coming out all at once or to start with appetizers. He checked on us a few times throughout our meal and later started a conversation with us as well. The food was very flavorful. We were surprised that the Crawfish Dip was served with tortilla chips when it states crostini on the menu. The Yakamein was very flavorful. The shredded pork was mildly spicy to a Minnesotan taste bud, we don't do spicy well. I also tried my husband's braised short ribs and everything was flavorful and the meat was tender. Overall, excellent cooking. I also didn't know the restaurant was affiliated with W Marriott Hotel.

Ordered an iced coffee and it was nooo good. I wouldn't recommend ordering one here. The banana foster French toast was yummy though! My sister ordered the egg Benedict and the eggs were hard as a rock which was odd, but here potatoes were awesome. Very cute bottle decor that drew us in. Could just use some small improvements with food and coffee

if I could give this place six stars for the food, I would definitely done that. It was one of the best gumbos I've had absolutely perfect. I also had their seared peach salad, which was absolutely perfect for what I wanted. My daughter got the bacon burger and fries which she said was very very good and the fries. I tried were quite tasty. Our waitress was very helpful, friendly and accommodating The decor was clear bottles. I'm not quite sure if there was anything in them, but it was quite pretty the way it was set up and the tables were comfortable.

Shrimp tacos.

I had the shrimp tacos. They are small - 4 bites - but with 3 shrimp each it was plenty. The flavor was great and I enjoyed them. The live music was awesome. Not too loud and the steel guitar and vocals were just perfect. The service was so slow it might mitigate the food and music.

The Doctor and I made a reservation here for dinner as we wrapped up our Nawleans trip. Based on the menu, it looks like a good place to check out. I was also curious to see if it had the same feel as Sobou when it was in the space. The space is still cool looking and inviting. Food-wise, the dishes were good. The short ribs were nice and tender and the meat pies had a lovely pastry crust. I wasn't too thrilled with the crab cakes for the price....when you look at the photo, they were definitely on the small side for the price. The Doctor did like the Abita Beer Brined Chicken Breast with charred okra, cassava puree and a kale chip. And the King Cake was a beautiful presentation. The big issue for me was the service. The woman that waited on us was very nice and she was from Wisconsin. It was nice to connect with her. The problem was that I think that the only people working the entire restaurant were her and another gentleman, so it took awhile to get drinks and food. Not sure why the restaurant would have so little staff serving on a busy night, but for me it messed with the overall experience. And I felt bad for the folks working. The woman was the hostess as well as waiting on tables, so she and the gentleman were working hard.

crawfish dip, crispy brussel sprouts, crab cakes, abita beer brined chicken breast, butternut squash gnocchi

The interior of 3rd Block caught my eye as I was waking past it, so I made a dinner reservation for two on a Tuesday evening. The walls of the interior consisted of shelves lined with various glowing bottles, which made the restaurant look very modern and elegant. When my friend and I entered the restaurant at the time of our reservation, there were only a couple parties present, but we were seated at a wobbly table. The host himself noted that the table was wobbly, so we were confused as to why we were not just seated at another table, as there were plenty available. We ordered the crawfish dip, crabcakes, chicken breast, gnocchi, and crispy brussel sprouts to share. To our dismay, the food took an entire 50 minutes to come out. While waiting, we even called the host over to confirm whether or not our order had been put in, and he said that he would go and check to make sure. The crawfish dip had colorful tortilla chips with a healthy-sized bowl of the dip and the crabcakes (2) were beautifully presented with a pile of red cabbage slaw in between and an orange sauce drizzled on the plate. The side of brussel sprouts also looked very tasty. In terms of the mains, the abita beer brined chicken breast looked very underwhelming as it was a small piece of chicken in a shallow soup of the cassava root purre and chicken au jus. The gnocchi, however, was a colorful dish with grape tomatoes, butternut squash, and kale. Both my friend and I were huge fans of the crawfish dip and the crispy brussel sprouts. The chicken, as it appeared, was just alright and the bone in the chicken breast was unexpected and made it difficult to eat. The gnocchi was tougher than we expected, so it was probably overcooked and the crab cakes had a slightly weird non-crabby taste to it. Overall, I was a bit disappointed in our experience at 3rd Block. I had high hopes for the restaurant, but many of the dishes did not meet our expectations and the extensive wait for the food to come out despite the lack of a busy restaurant was frustrating. It was nice that all the food came out at the same time especially since we waited for so long.

Dinner with friends on a Wednesday night. I started with the "Hooch of the Day" for a drink. It was supposed to be a "cosmo-y" type drink, but that is not how I would have described it. And, I am not sure of there was any alcohol in it. I had the chicken entree, which was excellent. It was a beautiful plate. The atmosphere is minimalist. The dining space is broken up in two rooms. The service was a touch slow, but I think we were being served by the bartender. I appreciated his recommendation on the chicken entree.

Came here on Christmas Eve with my family! Weren't many places open, but the menu looked good. Overall, I left feeling like the restaurant has a great deal to be improved here, but some dishes are incredibly good! First off, I have to commend the service - every staff member, from the host to the server, are incredibly kind and friendly. However, the level of service here is not up to standards for a nice restaurant. They failed to clear our table after the starter, and did not replace our cutlery. The table had scrapes and was not wiped either. In regards to the food, we ordered the brined chicken breast, yakamein, slow braised short ribs, and gumbo. I would rate the last two dishes a 5, but the first two a 1. The chicken breast was dry and the skin was not remotely crispy. Please don't order the yakamein. But I am surprised to say the gumbo was delicious and the short braised ribs were a hit with all family members. The mashed potatoes were savory, and the ribs were incredibly tender and fell apart with a fork. We got beignets for dessert - another 5/5!!

The Mahi Mahi is delicious.

We came in Saturday night without a reservation and only had to wait a few minutes. Our waitress was amazing from the second we sat down. I really wish I remembered her name because she was super attentive, funny, patient, and honestly made the whole experience even better. My boyfriend and I started with the Creole oysters and OMG... probably some of the best oysters I've ever had. They were incredibly flavorful, and dipping the bread into all that sauce afterward was SO good. My mother-in-law had the fried calamari, which came with remoulade, and she really enjoyed it. For my entrée, I had the jambalaya with chicken and andouille sausage. It was definitely spicy, but really, really good. My boyfriend and mother-in-law both had the grilled red snapper topped with their creamy crawfish sauce, and they loved it. My father-in-law had one of the oyster specials with shrimp and crawfish, which was also excellent. We finished with dessert... boyfriend and I had a chocolate mousse/cake dessert and my in-laws had the bread pudding. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was casual and fun, they had the football games playing on the TVs, and our waitress was fantastic the entire night. Just an overall great experience. If you love seafood and oysters, definitely give this place a try. I would 100% come back!

This was my first time having noodles added to a seafood boil, and let me tell you--they were a GAME CHANGER. The noodles soaked up all that rich, buttery Cajun sauce and seasoning, making every bite ridiculously flavorful. I honestly don't know if I can order another seafood boil without noodles now! Our boil was loaded with crab, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn, and egg, and everything came out piping hot and covered in sauce. The seafood was flavorful, the portions were generous, and once we dumped everything onto the tray, it was officially time to get messy. What I really appreciated was how well everything worked together. The noodles weren't just an unnecessary add-on--they caught all that extra sauce that normally gets left at the bottom of the bag. Do yourself a favor and add them! Come hungry, roll up your sleeves, and don't wear anything you're afraid to get Cajun sauce on. Hot N Cajun delivered exactly what I wanted from a New Orleans seafood boil: hot, messy, saucy, flavorful, and satisfying. The noodles alone made this one memorable. Definitely coming back!

Everything we ordered was delicious, and honestly, the food is the main reason I would consider giving Bon Ton another try. I also want to give credit to the host who greeted us. She was extremely friendly, professional, and genuinely tried her best to accommodate my party. The bad: The issue was management. I had a party of 13, and I understood that the restaurant could only seat 10 people at one table. I was told the other 3 guests would be seated at a separate table, and I was completely okay with that arrangement. However, Travis, the front manager, canceled the reservation for my 3 additional guests, so they were never seated. The host was trying her best to help us, but Travis was not very accommodating and made the situation much more difficult than it needed to be. I also asked to speak with a manager because I wanted to understand what happened with the table for my 3 guests. Tre was told that I wanted to speak with him, but he didn't come over when he finished with the table behind me. Instead, he went into the kitchen, came back out, and spoke with my friend instead of me. When he eventually spoke with me, I asked if he was the manager, and he told me no. He also gave me a different name. What makes this even more disappointing is that I wasn't approaching him to complain. I simply wanted to ask about the seating situation and find a solution for my guests. The interaction with management was unnecessary and took away from what should have been a special birthday dinner. I will say again that the food was good enough that I am willing to give Bon Ton another try. Hopefully, next time the service and management experience will match the quality of the food. Shoutout to the host for being kind and trying her best--you could tell she genuinely cared about helping us.

My first side was the mac and cheese, which was just the right size, served in a small metal side bowl, with a great cheesy flavor. The second side was cabbage, recommended to me by my waiter. it was broiled up in a savoury consommé liquid that just gave it all sorts of flavor. The third side was candied yams, that were done to perfection with a sweet brown sugar undertone. To drink, I had the freshly squeezed lemonade made on site. With all the rest of the foods, it was a perfect compliment to an amazing meal! I got there around 11:30 AM, and was quickly shown to a table. I think I just beat the lunch rush as there was a lineup out the door by the time I left. However, the waiter never made me feel rushed, provided excellent insights into the food, and was extremely laid back and friendly. The atmosphere was very much a laid-back casual dining experience. with tasteful decor, nice high ceilings and a few TVs quietly playing some sports highlights.
