I was staying at the Crown Plaza, and because this restaurant is connected to it, I thought I'd have dinner here. The decor is deceiving. It looks absolutely gorgeous and high end, but don't be fooled. I made a reservation for 5:30PM, but the place was fairly empty, as it was a Monday night. I was seated at a nice booth. As I was sitting there, I noticed they have private tables upstairs in the balcony. No one was seated there, but I thought to myself, it looks really nice up there. I ordered the Alligator and Crawfish Rigatoni and a bottle of Chianti. The complimentary bread was delivered first. It was a long piece of freshly baked bread in a white paper bag. It was so hot and fresh. When I spread the whipped butter on it, it just melted in my mouth. My waitress, Melanie M. came back to the table with a sommelier and a bottle of Castello di Nieve Barbaresco which I assumed was the same price of the Chianti, $45. It was a fine wine. I really enjoyed my food as well. It was flavorful and delicious, slightly spicy, garnished with scallions and fresh Parmesan cheese on top. It wasn't until I received the bill that I noticed the bottle of wine cost $148. Too late by then. Melanie was gone for a while. Don't know what happened back there while she was gone except for the fact that she came back with an extremely expensive bottle of wine. I didn't say anything. I just paid the bill and tipped her as usual. Didn't know it then, but this was about to be a premonition of the rest of my week in New Orleans dining out. Staff go out of their way to take advantage of the situation in this city.

Bourbon Shrimp & Grits

Bourbon House has been around for a minute and even though it's right next to Bourbon St, it is fine dining. The shrimp n grits was some of the best I've ever had. The Shrimp Po Boy was excellent, same with rigatoni and crab fingers (not much meat in them but delish and garlicky). The Bourbon Milk Punch is a must have.

Had an amazing blackened fish and pasta with alligator. Drinks were amazing too. Waiter did a great job.

We all gathered for my Daughter's graduation dinner. It was a wonderful place together with for a family event. The food was outstanding. The service was even better. You can't go wrong with the full flavor , great ambience in this Restaurant. It has been one of our family favorites for years and we will return soon.

We were visiting Bourbon Street looking for a place to grab a bite to eat and noticed the Bourbon House. We were concerned that we were not dressed appropriately, and was drenched because it was raining, since it appeared to be an upscale restaurant. The hostess was very inviting and welcomed us in, despite our appearance. We sat in a lovely window table on the bar side and had a very pleasant experience. I ordered the Hot Honey Fried Chicken sandwich. The hot honey was not hot but a perfect addition to the fried chicken thigh. It was juicy and delicious. We also ordered corn and crab soup that came out in a small metal cup and the waiter poured it into the bowl. It was creamy and a good balance of corn and crab. The flavors were mild and satisfying. The menu was limited, which I always like. I feel like it keeps food fresher and the makes it easier to choose.

I came here only for the Rockefeller oysters - - I did half oysters - just to see if I would like them before I got the full amount - so 6 raw 6 baked - I liked them both I only gave 3 stars - pay attention when they call your name - out name wasn't correct - instead of using the correct spelling " SIMPSON - they were calling out Sam's - so they told us a 45 min wait when Sam's was called - it was 17 mins past the 45 - best of luck everyone -

First of all, and IMO, most importantly, the staff is AMAZING. Kind and considerate, they are just the sweetest. You can tell they love what they do. The food is fantastic. And the ambience is lovely. Will absolutely be back.

They serve the best Old Fashioned. Yum!!! we flew in late on our arrival day and we had the crab and corn soup which was delicious and then we added some grilled shrimp. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable about menu and items that were their favorites. The whole restaurant was warm and welcoming always busy and didn't take too long to get a table l. Very clean and decorated very nicely.

Complimentary taste of bourbon!

Such a great place to grab some oysters and great Creole food! The oysters here are large and creamy, 12 for $29, which makes them $2.41 each. They may have a Happy Hour here, not sure. We sat at the oyster bar, which was fun and lively! Lots of locals, which is always a good sign. We also ordered the Shrimp and Boudin Balls and a bowl of gumbo. Both were excellent. We also each enjoyed a free tasting of their October Bourbon of the month. Pro tip: Sign up for their free membership to the New Orleans Bourbon Society, get a passport from the bartender, and enjoy 1 free taste per month!

The place!

Stopped in after the bad experience at Hard Rock cafe. Other than Bourbon, they do have craft beer here. We sat at the bar, wanted a taste of the "second line batture" beet but the bartender poured me a glass. Wasn't thrilled of the taste, but drank it just the same. It wasn't packed so why he poured it is the question. My guy ordered the "Brown Ale," it was a southern pecan and was pretty light for being a brown, which he said was too light and an OK beer! We decided to order the bourbon marinated pork belly bites! Very flavorful and tasty. Different from a Texas style burnt ends, but very good. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed, service just so so, the only bartender for the joint, so guess no time for small talk was a big NO! Stayed for the 1each, then decided to leave. May return on another trip. On to the next stop!!

Best Charbroiled Oysters in New Orleans IMO
Andre B.

We have been here a dozen times or so. Wow this is my #1 for charbroiled oysters. Theses bad boys are delicious!!! Smoked old fashioned was yummy too. Server today was Jess and she's a sweet young lady

Always a stop on my list during my visits to New Orleans. Great raw oysters and the number one favorite place to enjoy a Sazerac. Not sure why it's better there or how they make it better, but one, two, three and so smooth. Waitstaff very nice every time we go. Check out the oyster bar in the afternoon for some fun.

Hot N Cajun With no seated tables available when I arrived…read moreat Hot'n Cajun Boil House on Iberville Street in New Orleans, I happily accepted a seat at the bar. Behind the bar, Sandy mixed me a Summer Peach (Absolute Vodka, real peach, sweet tea, fresh lemon, $14) and provided the bib and gloves I likely would need if in fact I wanted to enjoy a crawfish boil. Of the dozens of restaurants I've visited in New Orleans, rare is the menu that includes a crawfish boil. Hot'n Cajun has it. I asked the barkeep Sandy B. if it was still crawfish season, and she assured me that it was. So I ordered 3 pounds of boiled crawfish (including potatoes and corn on the cob, $25.99), asked that the seasoning be "medium", and Sandy brought me a Model ($9) with a neat Maker's Mark ($12). The experience was pretty close to what I remember we'd find if invited to a neighbor's crawfish boil. Three pounds sounds like a lot, but the yield is more like half a pound, at most. So I put the gloves and bib on and started in on the crawfish. Nice presentation, and very good, fresh crawfish.

AMAZING 10/10 We got 1lb of crawfish for $10 and ordered…read moresome snow crab and corn as well. For the crawfish we chose the house cajun blend + mild spice, and for the crab we chose the Louisiana style dry rub + mild spice. It was absolutely delicious, and reasonably priced. Our server was even kind enough to demonstrate the proper way to eat the crawfish. I'd highly recommend this place.
