Had the Crystal hot sauce and I thoroughly enjoyed everything. Service was great with a smile and they even gave me an ice tea to go! Cool cafe vibe on the inside and they even had a little bar in the corner. If you're in NoLA and looking for something just off bourbon and not touristy. This is your spot! Pro tip: pair the salad with their wasabi dressing you won't regret it!!!

Both are delicious and come in generous portions. I've had worse at much more expensive restaurants in New Orleans. The service is good. Sometimes they are a little show, but that's only because they are usually very busy. Despite that, they're generally upbeat and very nice. The location is another plus. It's just inside the French Quarter, and a short walk from many of the CBD hotels as well as anywhere in the Quarter.

I originally came looking for another restaurant, but after the waitress explained it had been sold and hadn't yet been rebranded, I decided to stay since I was already seated. It turned out to be a happy surprise. The mushroom, cheese, and sausage omelet with a side of cheesy grits immediately caught my eye, and I'm always up for a good bowl of cheesy grits. The breakfast was delicious, hearty, and full of flavor. Menas Palace is a casual, Greek-owned diner right in the heart of the French Quarter. While the dining room isn't huge, it's spacious enough to comfortably navigate in my wheelchair, with plenty of turning room between tables. I had no trouble entering or being seated immediately. The waitress handled everything naturally and confidently, making it clear serving wheelchair users wasn't new to her, which always makes for a more relaxed experience. It may not have been the breakfast I originally set out to find, but it ended up being a tasty and accessible alternative that's worth keeping on the list. #MenasPalace #TysAdventures26 #NOLA #FrenchQuarter

We came here for convenience since it's close to the Virgin Hotel and it had nice ambiance. The fried catfish was good (though only one piece), but the mac and cheese was bland even after adding salt and pepper. The appetizer trio was mixed at best -- red beans and rice were fine, the étouffée had some heat, but the gumbo was extremely watery and salty with none of the richness you expect from a Creole gumbo. When we asked to substitute the gumbo for something else, we were told no, even after the waitress (who was very pleasant) called the owner. That lack of flexibility and customer care sealed the experience. Not recommended.

Service was quick because it was pretty empty. I was first disappointed because the flavor that I wanted was not on the menu in store , although I looked up their menu before arriving. Then, once I got my food I instantly wasn't hungry anymore. The wings were so tiny and DRENCHED in sauce. They had more sauce on my plate than wings. The wings used to be so huge that the plate could barely close. The sauce was straight out of the bottle , no type of jazzing it up to make their own. Just straight bbq and straight hot sauce. Then my Cajun ranch fries had no seasoning , just straight ranch, that wasn't even a good one.it just gives lazy cook. Never again.
