But that on top of the emptiness makes sense with the location, hotel, day and time. Pam took care of us and was a joy as our server. She knew the menu very well and was able to answer all our questions on top of being helpful and productive throughout our visit. We had the skirt steak and king Salmon with a side of fries and stuffed potatoes. The skirt steak was cooked to medium and it was amazingg! Pam asked how I'd like it cooked and suggested it to be cooked at medium rare. I couldn't do that since I'm barely starting to get used to my steaks being cooked at medium, but it was still absolutely delicious. The sauce that was glazed on top, as well as the seasoning of the steak killed it!! The salmon was also delicious. Very flavorful. The stuffed potatoes were ok, we liked their side of fries more than that. Drinks were tasty and refreshing. Worth the price. We also got dessert, a chocolate cake and apple pie. I wasn't expecting to like the apple pie, but wow was that good! And the chocolate cake isn't just any boring cake. Once you break the cake, a chocolaty liquid melts out onto your plate, it was perfection. The restaurant itself is beautiful. They're located on the 14th (if I'm not mistaken) floor and have the best location for beautiful views of downtown New Orleans and the waterfront. I'm still thinking about that special sauce on the skirt steak (heart eyes). Thank u for a wonderful dinner!

Very disappointed on several fronts. Came in on a Saturday night at 6:15. Was a bit surprised…read morethat this was the only nice steak house I could get a reservation for the day of, and had my choice of times. In spite of the Yelp ratings, that should have been a huge red flag. Ordered the Old Fashioned from the menu that was very good. Tried to find a bottle of Cabernet for under $150. There were none and only one cab by the glass at $30, so we opted for that (that same bottle sold for $165...math doesn't add up). The menu does not have a lot of variety. No garden salad, so I started with the gumbo. It was good, but would have been better with some bread. We each ordered the ribeye medium with a side of mushrooms and a twice baked potato. The sides were excellent, but the steak was over cooked. To make matters worse, our server was not paying attention so I had to ask another to have our server or a manager come over. The manager came by and promptly took both steaks away to have them remade and comped us another glass of wine. Nice gesture. However, the second steaks were no better than the first. I asked the manager if he really considered what we were looking at to be medium. He assured me it was and held the table light by the steak so I could see it better. You can see by the picture of the second steaks that it was not cooked right either. When the check came, they comped one of the steaks, but not both. Not sure what their logic was, as neither of us ate much of either. Told the server the same and Mr. Manager came back over with both comped. Apparently they were trying to get every red cent out of the few people in the joint!

Another…read morecolleague and I were lucky enough to secure dinner reservations one evening, and it truly exceeded expectations. We were staying at the Hilton, so it was an easy walk from our hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated by the hostess. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and offered excellent recommendations that made ordering effortless. I started with the pig ears and had the fried chicken as my entrée, while my colleague chose the vegetarian option. You can find pig ears in Honolulu, but not prepared in this culinary style -- it was a creative and flavorful starter. The fried chicken was perfectly juicy and well-seasoned, and the honey butter added a delightful balance of savory and tangy sweetness. The ambiance was classy yet calm, making it ideal for both conversation and a relaxed dining experience. We also enjoyed lemon drop martinis with dinner -- crisp, refreshing, and the perfect complement to our meals. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot if you're looking to enjoy a refined and memorable dinner in New Orleans.

No problems w N7 - thank you. Server and Som were great - friendly, knew the menu (food and wine) inside and out, giving great suggestions. The food timing was just right for our large party given how many items ordered (on a very busy night). Our sommelier picked perfect pairings. As a table we order probably 12 different dishes +desert to share (this is way to go imo) and each was amazing in its own way. Unique sweet savory salty combos and great presentations. I am not going to go into details as it has been covered in photos and other reviews. The outside ambience was perfect with heat lamps - on a chilly night no one needed a coat. The lighting was soft/perfect and once you entered into the wooden door you are transported into a different world. I would recommend this for family, business meeting or date night. The prices were very reasonable for the service, ambiance and amazing food. We all were just thrilled with N7 / just make the reservation and be prepared for a great night!

To our delight, the reception person checked and found a perfect spot for us to sit. Our first time there. Literally a hidden gem. Front door very disguised! Wow. They must have music for cocktail hour because there was a great jazz group playing outside. They stopped shortly after 7 PM. We ordered our cocktails and dinner at the same time. The way it was really really nice. I had a glass of wine, Johnny had a martini. My glass of Chardonnay was $26! I was shocked. The martini was $19. Both we felt were too expensive. We ordered the bok choy appetizer and the pomme frittes with bearnaise dipping sauce. Delish. We both had the scallop appetizer. Three nice size scallops on each plate. We were very satisfied with the food, service and ambiance and recommend N7. Next time we want to return, we'll make a reservation! Wish I had taken some pictures. Next time

We found a seat, ordered our drinks, and had a great time once they arrived. The space could have been better maintained- floors were noticeably soiled with spilled drinks and napkins, and there didn't seem to be much effort to clean up during our visit. The drinks themselves were excellent. I had a French 75, and my husband ordered a Sazerac. We also got some fries to go along with our drinks since we were bar hopping and not planning a full meal. The fries were good and paired nicely with the cocktails.Service was generally fine, but overall the cleanliness and upkeep of the space took away slightly from the experience, which is a shame given the reputation of the place.
