    Just eggs and bacon
    Bobbye A.

    Getting to Bienvenue on a Sunday morning was a little underwhelming. What brunch place is dead on Sunday morning? I liked the vibes - the low volume music, the wood accents - but there were hardly any other people. The reason for that, I can only assume, is the food. Everything was fine - nothing actively bad and each item was fairly well cooked - but it was all under seasoned. The best thing was the toast followed by the crab cake Benedict. But overall everything seemed pretty under salted. So it is probably a great place to go if you're watching your salt intake.

    Okay, off the bat, I would've never thought to go here only because it's in the middle of nowhere. HOWEVER, it was freaking so good! This restaurant is like a Cajun Creole concept family friendly type. Definitely something for those days you don't want to cook. The service was good, fast and efficient. Food was comforting especially the steak sandwich. It wasn't a typical steak sandwich, shaved steak pressed but it was phenomenal with the au jus. I could've drank that au jus. Next, the catfish were fried to perfection and the crab cakes were FIRE! I don't usually love crab cakes so this is saying a lot.

    This place gave us a great surprise . First of all,I was having a bad day and they had to deal with my sad face hahaha but the service was really good, the place has new orleans art elements and overall a family calm ambiance. We had the onion rings which were GREAT. My husband had the steak dinner, great flavor, good portion ...but our wao moment was with the new orleans wrap..OMG! Firm and fresh wrap filled with rice and beans and a good portion of fried chicken and sausage...new orleans in a wrap. Great flavour, the wrap fills you up cause it's actually FULL of the rice and beans, the chicken is white meat with a thin fried layer and delicious sausage, great fries as well. Really good price for the portions.the staff is really nice and fast service. I absolutely LOVED it

    Crawfish beignet and blue crab, spinach, and artichoke au gratin
    Liza S.

    I came here for brunch this past weekend with a few friends. Crawfish beignets and blue crab, spinach, and artichoke gratin... PERFECTION. The crab cake Benedict was yummy. My biggest disappointment of the dish was the poached eggs. They weren't runny and weren't actually poached. They were cooked in what seemed like a a ramekin. The side was enough potatoes to serve a small family, but they were nice and crispy. I ordered a mimosa but it tasted like 90% orange juice, which was unfortunate. Overall, it was a good meal and the appetizers blew my mind with deliciousness.

    Fried fish platter.
    Akilah S.

    This was my first time checking out this restaurant. First I ordered the shrimp étouffée. The roux was a seasoned well, but a bit too salty for me. I didn't try the catfish platter with french fries and garlic bread. That was pretty tasty. My mom ordered the oyster po-boy which she enjoyed. The service was really good. I wanted something to drink that wasn't on the menu and my waitress offered to make it for me. I will be back.

    Beinvenue Salad

    In NOLA for 4 days this place was close to our RV park. The Service was top notch the Bienvenue Salad was so good I'd definitely get that again and the bam bam shrimp wrap was pretty tasty. Beer was cold and fries were hot. We'd go back if in the area.

    This place was delicious. The Marrone sandwich is amazing. The 12 inch is enough for two people to share. The onion rings were spot on. Crab cakes are way more crab than stuffing. Previous visits I have gotten the the hamburger steak which was fine and the big easy wrap similar to what Popeyes use to have. Hubby got the voodoo shrimp and grits and said it was pretty good. Would definitely go back.

    Swiss shroom burger with fries
    Chelle L.

    This place was pretty decent! Came here for lunch and I had the Swiss shroom burger with a side of fries while my husband had the jambalaya pasta. The burger was delicious to me - cooked perfectly to medium rare as I requested but the fries were a little too crunchy and fried to me. And that's not to say that others wouldn't like them, they're just not my preference of fries. The jambalaya pasta was very liquidy and cheesy but again, not to say others wouldn't like that but just not our preference. All in all, it's a good place and the service was great. Very nice people and I can see the hospitality of the family owned business there. Definitely a place I feel like we could come back to soon!

    Catch Noel

    Highly recommend! Visiting on business staying in "airport" hotel. This quaint little restaurant has a family feel, great service and a place I would definitely return to. I had the crab and corn chowder as well as the Catch Noel (which happened to be speckled trout tonight). Both were very flavorful and excellent! The roasted veggies some of the best I've ever tasted! Thanks for a great experience Jimmy! Nice to meet you!

    New Orleans wrap with sweet potato fries
    Lacey D.

    I had a pretty solid meal here for a weekday lunch. My husband and I got: the bang bang shrimp wrap with Mac and cheese and the New Orleans wrap with sweet potato fries. The shrimp wrap was very tasty and the Mac and cheese is delicious. The New Orleans wrap was just okay. A lot of red beans and rice, which made the chicken soggy. The sweet potato fries were good. My main dislike was that on the side of each piece of wrap there was this one-inch thick piece of just rolled up tortilla, which so just left on the plate. The service was good and safety measures were in place.

    Hello, at one point this establishment had a piano night. Does that still happen and if so what time and days do the piano musicians play? Thanks, yelp world!

    We do not have live music at the point. We may put back in place in the fall.

We started with the chicken wings with honey barbecue sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly and had a good flavor. Next were the bacon wrapped shrimp and these were one of my favorite items of the night. The hot honey sauce was so good and the presentation made them even better. The cheese pull and sauce dripping down really sealed the deal for me. Easily a 10/10. The brussels sprouts completely surprised me because they were SO good. They were topped with pecans, cranberries, pepper jelly, and parmesan cheese, and all of the toppings worked so well together to elevate the flavor of the brussels sprouts. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I've been back just for those alone. 10/10. I also tried the Bayou Mac & Cheese which was creamy, flavorful, and cooked well. My only complaint is that it was topped with tomatoes, which wasn't listed on the menu, so I would've asked for it without them, but no big deal. We also had the Cajun Pasta which was good as well. Everything came out hot & Overall, the service was excellent, everything we had was really enjoyable, and the experience matched the aesthetic of the restaurant. I'd definitely return.

Service was friendly and efficient and Taylor took excellent care of us. General Manager Josie dropped by our table to share info on Lumora and her visit was appreciated. There is a full bar and a wide selection of specialty cocktails. Today I had a Blood Orange Mezcal Margarita and my wife had an Ex-Presso Martini. Both were great! I highly recommend the Mezcal spice served up on the Margarita's rim in place of the standard salt. We then enjoyed the Zydeco Eggroll appetizer, which the pepper jelly garnish made truly memorable. I then followed with the Buffalo Chicken Pinsa and my wife had the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pinsa. Both were excellent; hot, pleasantly spicy, and generously portioned. We took home a lot of food. Although we had no room for dessert, several on the menu looked quite sumptuous. In short, Lumora Kitchen and Bar is highly recommended! It's a great spot for lunch, happy hour drinks, or a special date night. We will return.

Rich, layered, and well-balanced with fresh elements that worked together on the plate. For entrées, we had a variety of cuts, including the Australian Wagyu, ribeye, butcher's cut, and lamb chops. The Wagyu stood out immediately. High quality, great sear, and finished tableside, which added to the overall experience without taking away from the food itself. Each steak was cooked precisely to temperature and full of flavor. The lamb chops paired with carrots and brussels were well executed and balanced. The sides complemented the meal well and did not feel like afterthoughts. You can also see their in-house dry aging setup, which speaks to the level of detail they put into their steak program. It shows in the final product. The drinks were solid across the board. The Old Fashioned and bourbon selections paired well with the meal and matched the food's quality. Service by Noelle was attentive and responsive throughout the night. Everything flowed well, and we were taken care of without feeling rushed or hovered over.

It started the moment we walked in. Glancing at the hostess, asking "OK to sit at the bar?", getting a nod, sitting down. An experience we've done in hundreds of restaurants. (We had reservations for a table but often prefer the bar.) The bartender -- whom we believe was named Mike -- started off his interaction with new customers as follows. "Did you check with the hostess?" I nodded in the affirmative, apparently that wasn't enough. "Check with the hostess", he ordered. I got up, went over the hostess stand, and confirmed, this time so "Mike" could see, that it was OK for us to sit at a half-empty bar. (In retrospect, we should have gotten up and walked out immediately, but it was late and even in the Quarter most places were closing for dinner.) You see, Mike clearly didn't want to be working that night. He was rude, inattentive, and condescending. And not just to us, to everyone seated at the bar. Slow making drinks, slow asking for orders, seething contempt for his customers. One time we asked to see a drink menu to decide on a new drink, he said, and this is a direct quote, "Do you want to see it or do you want to review it?" Mike's behavior was clearly well-known to the staff, because another staff member, who was off-shift and next to us at the bar, witnessed this behavior and arranged for a free dessert on the house (classy move on her part). She confided in us that Mike's pretty much always like that, but that he's a buddy of the general manager so seemingly un-fireable. Well, here's hoping someone reads this and thinks the better of Doris Metropolitan, or at least sitting at the bar. Unless you think service you'd get in a Paris tourist trap cafe is appropriate for a high-end steakhouse, you're better off spending your hard-earned money elsewhere.

The wine list is impressive. We ended up ordering three bottles over the course of the evening and enjoyed each one. One issue kept this from being a perfect experience. The third course, our entrée, took 46 minutes to arrive, compared to about 15 minutes between the earlier and later courses. There was no proactive communication from our server. I had to flag her down to ask, and was told it was on the way. That delay stretched our evening by close to 30 minutes, and there was no acknowledgment or effort to make up for it. If I'm scoring it, the food is a 5 out of 5 without question. The service, because of that lapse, was closer to a 3. I'll meet in the middle and give Restaurant August a 4 overall. Even with that hiccup, this was one of the best meals we've ever had in New Orleans.
