    Ponchatoula Shortcrust
    Don T.

    A group of 6 of us went last night. The service was good. The prices were through the roof. The food was just okay. We started with some specialty cocktails which were delicious. We ordered the crispy snapper collars. Be careful with this appetizer. It is full of bones. I was startled by that and did not eat another bite of that appetizer. We ordered boudin balls and chargrilled oysters. Both were delicious. For our entrees, my husband ordered the grilled redfish with creamed corn and spicy crawfish butter. It was very tasty. I wish I had ordered that. I ordered the Turtle Sauce Piquante and Morgan City wild catfish. The fish was freshly fried but the sauce was not hot at all. A friend ordered the seafood salad and she said it was just basic. We ordered 3 desserts to share around the table. Two of the three were really good. The Mississippi Mud Pie and the Pontchatoula Shortcrust were the stars of the evening. The Baked Bismarck was just okay and one note. For the prices they charge and the so so food, we will not be going back.

    The food, service, and location on the Water was amazing. We had oysters, the bread, the drum and all cooked and prepared perfect and the duck combo was amazing. The Alma Dean drum was fried and perfect bread. We then finished off with some bread pudding. The only thing missing was a cappuccino because they do not have a cappuccino machine or an espresso machine. All recommended for great food.

    At first we were humming and hawing about going. BIG Mistake!! Should have just walked in. We sat down and were immediately greeted by our waitress. She really went through the menu with us and made some great suggestions. We started with the Alligator Meat Pie. OMGOODNESS it was heaven in your mouth. My husband and I both said if the food is as good as the appetizer we cannot wait! I had the Momma's Drum Almandine. It is flash fried. And the fish stayed hot through the entire meal. It was flaky and not over done. My husband had the Southern Fried Chicken and Red Beans. He said his chicken was juicy and fried perfectly. Nothing was over done. The portions are very generous. One of the other things we really appreciated was how relaxed the staff make you feel. It has been so long since we have had good fine dining where you order your appetizer it comes; They allow time for you to finish your appetizer before ordering your meal. While the staff do check on you; you are not made to feel as if it is a churn and burn experience. The chef comes out and talks to the guests.

    Great ambiance and wonderful food! The seafood was so fresh and I loved being able to see the water from our table on the patio.

    Beautiful new restaurant, perfectly situated along the great Mississippi River. Great views. Great atmosphere. The food was delicious. We shared a variety of appetizers, I personally enjoyed the hot boudin balls. The crawfish ettouffee was perfectly seasoned and you could tell these were no frozen crawfish like at many local venues. To top it off, we had the best dessert I've ever had: strawberry shortcrust with fresh local Pontchatoula strawberries. The chef brought out multiple of our dishes herself. She was very kind, informative, and attentive. Will certainly return in the future.

    We had been taking the Algiers Ferry every day into Nee Orleans and I noticed this upscale restaurant right on the waterfront. On our last day, we stopped in for lunch outside. Nice cool breeze, very attentive wait staff, and delicious food. We shared oysters and the boudin, both excellent. Then I had the duck gumbo with egg (so good). Everything was really wonderful, maybe our best meal in NOLA.

    Only came in for one drink but the atmospheres and river views were nice. Sat at the bar, there's TVs for sport's and ample seating. Gonna update this to a full review later after dining in.

    We stumble up on Delacroix restaurant after a day of shopping, this is a pretty huge restaurant with large windows beautiful decor, and a nice size patio, and the location is just steps from the mighty Mississippi river, the view is just breathtaking. We were seated right away and waited about 20 mins. no one came to our table, I got up and started taking pictures of all of the empty tables, "Yelp about it" I would Imagine someone saw me taking photo's with then mins. a staff was at our table, I started expressing my disappointment to him, he was very nice and he apologize and offered us free drinks, and told us they were doing a photo shoot for their web page, they had only been open a few weeks, our food was very delicious. I will come back here when I get back here next year.

    I ate here for a work dinner on a weekday night and every dish we ordered was delicious. The chef/owner has really leaned into a vibe of elevated bayou/cajun. The seafood salad was so yum and not too mayo-y. The fried snapper collar was surprising and fun. The chargrilled oysters were better than others I've had, and the mixture really gelled to the oyster in one good bite. I would be excited to go back and try more things!

    Omg the bartender here was so weird and rude so I came in. I asked for a hot toddy first he said he's not given that to me because he doesn't have the correct glassware so that was that but I did choose the island drink which was absolutely delicious almost like a piña colada.

    I was eagerly following the opening of this spot and managed to snag a reservation during a work trip to NOLA which happened to be during the restaurant's first month of operation. Located at the base of the Four Seasons, Delacroix is part of the rejuvenated Spanish Square at the bottom of Canal Street adjacent to the Hilton and the big outlet mall. The renovation of the building is beautiful, especially as the structure sparkles in the evening light. Delacroix is reportedly the only waterfront dining in the city and the tasteful raised patio seating would offer a nice view (if you are heartier than I am and don't mind the NOLA weather.) The interior decor is gorgeous yet unfussy. A dining room Joanna Gaines might have designed if she was from NOLA. On Saturday night of the Halloween parade, the restaurant seemed only about 2/3 full. As they were turning away people without reservations, I'm wondering if there were a lot of no shows or folks who couldn't make it because of the parade traffic? It's a peaceful place as it is but it felt especially quiet inside. The menu is an interesting combination of comfort foods and fancy dishes. I saw many plates of sandwiches on buns with fries being delivered and a lot of others seemed to know that the same Seafood Salad that I ordered would actually be entree sized. It was a lot of food. I did think that there were too many red and fried onions in the salad, overpowering the delicate crab and shrimp and dressing, but that could just be me. Don't get me wrong, it was still very good. My date reported that the redfish with crab butter and corn was quite good as well but needed a starch so we ordered a $3 loaf of poboy bread (is there a name for this?) which was served piping hot right from the oven. The Seafood Pistolettes were the standout of our meal, ordered as an appetizer. Small bread bites are stuffed with seafood and get flash-fried until crisp, served piping hot with a spicy aioli. Delicious! Though a new spot, the staff did not seem new at all. They must have have hired folks with a lot of experience and then trained them well. There were no opening month jitters to be seen anywhere and they all seemed like pros. A nice, relaxing dinner and a pleasant experience. It was a total shock to step outside afterwards and be greeted by Halloween madness!

    Seafood Salad

    Two weeks into October, Delacroix hasn't been open for quite a month, but I found myself back for a second visit already. Chef Besh, Chef Wiley, and GM Roger Eyles have given New Orleans the most perfect, elevated, Cajun dining experience. So much about Delacroix feels "down home." And the food will make you wish you could move in. The location is unexpectedly amazing. Now that (hopefully not fake) fall has set in, I cannot wait to go back and dine outside, riverside. However, the wrap around windows allow for a great view from anywhere within. The decor is authentic not kitschy. The warmth of the wood balances the deep blues. It feels comfortable and welcoming, the way any Cajun would want you to feel in their kitchen or dining room. I feel like I've tried nearly everything on the menu now, but I know that isn't true. I'll just provide a list of my favorites: Seafood Plateau (best way to do the raw bar), Crispy Snapper Collars, Crabby Rice, Seafood Salad, Momma's Drum Almandine, and the Grilled Redfish. Honorable mention: Cajun Pistolettes and Shrimp Creole. Curious to try next time: Turtle Sauce Piquante. I haven't tried the buns yet, but I sat next to someone with the softshell crab, and it looked amazing. What about dessert, you say? Well, they're all so good that dessert needed its own paragraph. On our first visit we had the Baked Bismarck, Lemon Tart, and an ice cream sandwich that isn't on the menu now. All three were delicious, but the tart was my winner - and I don't eat lemon desserts. The wild berry compote balanced the tartness of the lemon perfectly. I really thought I would be getting it again, but there is now bread pudding as an option. Bread pudding is my favorite dessert. And my favorite bread pudding already belongs to Besh. So, I had to try this one. It is unlike any BP I've had before. Texturally it is perfection. But the addition of satsuma and butterscotch to the flavors is new and exciting. It doesn't beat my other Besh favorite (it's at Lüke btw), but it absolutely is one I will recommend. I'll probably alternate it with the tart on all future visits. As I try to wrap up what may be my longest review ever, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention their cocktails. The menu has lots of interesting flavors and combinations - my favorite is the Marsh Fire. It's the perfect pre-dinner cocktail. Refreshing, but spirited enough to lift the weight of the day from your shoulders. All of the above said, I think it's pretty clear that I think John Besh has absolutely knocked his return out of the park. There's nothing I don't love about this place... other than how close it is to work and how much I might spend there. I can't wait to go back. And I can't wait to see what Besh does next!

    The restaurant is super cute. It's very bright. The decor is boat themed and when I was there people patronizing the restaurant seemed to dress like they were on a boat. The service was good. We had a nice friendly server and the host was friendly too. I originally wanted to sit outside to catch the sunset by the river but it was a rainy day so we sat inside. Next time I'll definitely sit outside. I started with a drink called Green Isle and it was amazing. It made me feel like I was at a 5 star beach resort somewhere near the Indian Ocean. For starters we got the duck popper meat pie and the crispy snapper collars. Both of these were so good. They were probably the highlight of my meal. The meat inside the meat pie was so flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The outside was flaky and soft. The crispy snapper collars might be one of the best things I've had this year. The sauce it was drenched in was really good. It was tangy and creamy. The fish itself was crispy and seasoned well on the outside and so fresh and flaky on the inside. My main dish was good. The fish was fried perfectly and the turtle piquante was tasty. It was my first time having turtle piquante.

    The snapper fish collars.

But I was welcomed in to the bar with one open seat. The staff was very welcoming with a bit of sarcasm, which is probably something that I look forward to everywhere. I asked for recommendations, having looked at the menu and they handed me another special menu of the day stating obviously I hadn't read the whole thing yet. I started with the snapper appetizer and I have Tse with the coconut lime broth. It was absolutely delicious, followed by the crawfish capellini. I was surprised by the amount of crawfish in the dish and the chili flavor, which was absolutely delicious. I have been hearing about the hush puppies for a while so I had to try some, especially because my colleague raved about it at dinner the night before.

I personally thought that the bread was a little overly grilled and chard, but overall the dishes still pretty good. I cannot say more about the dessert.

After trying a few times to get a reservation at this restaurant because of the reviews, we were unable to secure a walk-up with an hour wait. The front of house was not very inviting, and we should have taken that as a warning. When we were seated at 1:30, the staff seemed ready for a break. We were greeted, and then it took 15 mins for them to get back to us for drinks and answer any questions We ordered two cocktails, Gintilly and The Head and the Heart, which were not memorable compared to other options we sampled in our week-long tour of NOLA. For apps, we ordered Tuna Crudo and Smoked Tuna dip, which were both mediocre in size and taste. It also took a while for them to bring them to our table, and we had to remind them. ( 20 minutes to deliver raw fish). We split a mixed green salad, which was good with a tangy dressing. For entrees, we ordered Capellini /Crawfish and Fish sticks with a side of crispy spinach. The fish sticks arrived cold, and they had to refire it. The manager apologized. Overall, they were good. We finished the meal with a salted Peanut Pie, which was the highlight at a fish restaurant. Overall, the staff was waiting around and almost ignoring us. With hiccups, there were no adjustments, but a simple here is your newly cooked dish with no apology. My wife and I are foodies and had high expectations for Peche but they fell short of the hype in service and execution for $ 175 with tip on this late lunch.

I asked the bartender what would be his favorite choice and he actually suggested the seafood pasta if I was considering the shrimp since it'll have a nice melody of em all. Perfect.
