East Harbor is a newer restaurant, but I'm already obsessed! I'm ashamed to say how many times we've been there already since we discovered it. If you love seafood boils, you have to come by to try this place out! They have boiled seafood very similar to the kind that's served at Big EZ Seafood and Oyster in Kenner, but they also have regular Americanized Chinese food if you're in the mood for some Chinese takeout. I love their Chinese takeout food too, but the bags of boiled seafood are really the appeal here. Their portions are large and generous, their prices low and cheap, the quality of food is high, and everything is delicious. The boiled seafood here is a little bit different than the truly New Orleanian style of boil you might be used to eating. You can choose the type of seasonings you want (Cajun, spicy seafood, garlic butter, lemon pepper, or a combination of multiple),and you can choose your spice/heat level (mild to extra hot) too. I love the customization! Their seafood "combos" are a fantastic deal. For example, for just $20, you get 1lb of shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage slices. This is my favorite go-to item here for sure. Because it's messy, if you're eating there, they provide you with disposable gloves and a wet wipe, which we all welcome lol Their Chinese takeout is great too and always comes with generous portions. One thing to note is that the takeout items tend to be a little low on salt for my tastes, but that's an easy fix with a salt shaker. I think it's a good thing especially for people who might have dietary restrictions on their sodium intake. Remember, it's easy to add salt to a dish, but nearly impossible to remove it! All in all, East Harbor is a 5-star, must-try, go-to-favorite restaurant! ESPECIALLY for their boiled seafood!!

The Chinese food here was just okay for me. The rice was decent and the lo mein was actually pretty good, but the sesame chicken fell flat--more chewy than crispy and not very flavorful. The crab rangoons were the standout of the meal, definitely the best thing we tried. I wasn't a fan of the pork & shrimp egg roll though; it had an unexpected cinnamon/nutmeg taste that threw the flavor off for me. Overall, it was worth trying once for take out..... but I personally wouldn't go back.

Infant crawfish
Tamsy K.

The food is sadly a hit or miss. I went once before and had great food and today I had the same crawfish combo and the crawfish were soooooo small it was crumbling in my hand when I peel it. I told the waiter and she agreed that it was way too small, I told the hostess/manager if they can take it off my bill because they didn't inform me they had infant crawfish. She did not remove the crawfish off my bill even though I did not eat it. She said that it's due to the season and I explained to here that you should inform ppl if it's that tiny. I would say stay away from the crawfish here at the current time unless you like them small. Don't advertise crawfish if the quality is not good. This is not good service to me today especially if someone doesn't touch the food, sorry.

Shrimp combo in Cajun butter sauce
Adiaha M.

Came here because my daughter LOVES seafood and it's not too far from home. I prefer traditional boiled seafood over covered in sauce style that every seems to enjoy these days but I was a team player and gave this place a try. We started with the charbroiled oyster which were ok but I wouldn't get them again. My husband had fried chicken wings which were very hot and crispy I just wish they had a bit more spice. My daughter had the crawfish special which came with crawfish shrimp crab cluster plus corn potatoes and sausage and she really enjoyed it. I got headless shrimp which were a decent size and had a good flavor. My son also tried the orange chicken with shrimp fried rice. He didn't care for it but I ate it and thought it was good. Given my daughter's obsession with seafood I anticipate we'll be back and it's cheaper than the chain we typically frequent in Metairie.

Four seasons

Nico (sp?) was such a gem and treated us so well on the night my cousin and friends took me out to…read morecelebrate my birthday! I have a love/hate that they change their menu because I thought I did my due diligence and studied the menu and precious Yelp reviews to prepare what to order. But then the menu changed but it was fine bc Nico helped steer us to all the good stuff! We ordered a bunch of dishes and ate family style so we could try everything! The stand outs to me were the Pani Puri with the fiery mint water that you pour and lets you control the heat (you eat it in one bite), the Pork Dan Dan Buco Di Creste noodles (we asked not too spicy, we're getting older! Haha ), the Gulf Shrimp Pakora, and the ice cream pie from Lucy Boone! Mister Mao is where the old Dick and Jenny's restaurant used to be across from Rouse's on Tchoupitoulas. It's a little pricey but so worth it for a fancy night out!! And ask for Nico, he's the best!!

I really wanted to love this place. It was recommended to…read moreme by two friends that had visited New Orleans and love their experience there. We requested the chef's counter, and we were able to get it no problem on a Tuesday night. As far as the service, the gentleman that initially took our order and was seem to be the primary chef/sous chef of the night was nice but seemed very stressed the entire time. Not particularly personable, but took care of our needs. Another younger gentleman in the kitchen gave us extra goodies to try and was very friendly and helpful. The ambience was cute. Small semi industrial looking with cool music playing in the background. It felt small and intimate. Now for the food. They do warn that there are some spicy dishes on the menu, but in my experience, every single item was spicy. Also, there are many pork issues on the menu so if you are a no pork person, beware that your options are very limited. I love spice, but there needs to be some relief and there just was none to be had. We had the pani puri, the fried chicken, the scallops, the tuna Crudo, and the charred corn. With the exception of the scallops every single dish was very high on the spice scale. The corn in particular was so spicy that none of us could even eat it because it lacked flavor, but had so much spice that our lips were burning with one bite. The pani puri comes with a fire juice that you pour in to adjust the level of spice. In my opinion, they look much cooler than they taste. The scallops were delicious and come with a piece of bread to dip in the sauce. My favorite. Overall, I hate to say it, but I was a bit disappointed. I was really looking forward to this dinner in particular on our trip to New Orleans and it just didn't quite meet the hype for us.

What a spectacular, memorable evening…read more Recommended by local friends, this spot offers a Pan-Asian menu with a subtle New Orleans twist. It's a tasting menu only--very well priced at $95. The meal is structured in four "tranches," each with three choices. Our party of four managed to sample almost the entire menu. We started with cocktails and a dark chocolate Japanese ale, which set the tone nicely. Standout dishes included the tuna solera, scallion lamb, salt-baked shrimp, satay chicken, and key lime pie. Honestly, there wasn't a weak dish in the lineup. We all opted for the wine pairing ($75), which was thoughtfully selected and generously poured. Service was excellent throughout. All in, with tip, dinner for four came to about $1,200--and it felt well worth it. Highly recommended.

The Kingsway way is a gem! The bartender was lovely and knowledgeable. She gave us purse hooks to…read morehang our bags. Everyone was on point. I went to the restroom, and when I came back, my napkin was folded. The food was beautiful, the portions were on the smaller side, but the dishes were unique and well composed. We ordered from the bar menu, but there is also a tasting menu. I ordered the lamb and a beef dish. The lamb wasn't my favorite, but my dining partner liked it. The milk bread and miso butter were my favorite part. The server sent me home with some of the butter. I also love that they have a tea menu. Beautiful white table cloth restaurant with moody lighting and a great bar program. I would go back for another girls' night. Heads up, if you book a reservation online, you have to put up a deposit. We ended up just walking in and sitting at the bar.

Morrow Steak was an amazing find in New Orleans! From the ambiance to the service and food,…read moreeverything was exceptional. It's a quaint, upscale spot conveniently located near Canal Street and absolutely worth adding to your New Orleans dining list. I started with the kale salad, which was fresh and delicious, followed by the salmon with shrimp also delicious and beautifully prepared. The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere made the entire dinner feel special. New Orleans is known for gumbo and traditional Creole cuisine, and Morrow Steak offers those flavors as well, but don't be afraid to explore the rest of the menu. I'm glad I did! If you're visiting New Orleans and looking for a great dinner with excellent food, beautiful ambiance, and outstanding service, I highly recommend Morrow Steak. This is definitely a restaurant I would visit again!

I've had them bookmarked or the regular Morrow's for awhile. We were on a group trip and decided we…read morewould go here on Sunday afternoon. Upon entering, we weren't dressed and typical steakhouse attire and the server and hostess looked at a few of us that entered 1st and immediately asked did we want to see the menu, before asking any other questions. ***side eye*** Again, we weren't dressed the part, but don't judge a book by it's cover. As most of the group are professionals or business owners themselves. (Group contained 3 nurse practitioners, a funeral home owner, a restaurant owner, an hr generalist, etc etc... we know how to behave) The male manager with dreads took over and lightened the mood engaging and asking where we from and then sested us. They also ignored our attire. Credit given for that. Anywho, we were a party of 15, with no resy and were seated promptly and given 2 servers. The 1st server was the 1 asking about menus out the gate. He was quickly moved down to the friendly end of the table. Lol The other server Ken-STAR OF THE SHOW! 10 STAR SERVICE. He was so polite, engaged, and gracious. We hd him to stay on our end. Lol. He made our visit grand and worth every penny! No complaints for anyone out of 15. Of course we orderded numerous things. But I had the ribeye and lobster tail. The special butter sauce was little extra for my liking and it was even on my steak ICK, but that was my fault. My food was good! Steak temp was perfect. Drinks were ok, a little pricey. We were pleased. I would recommend and potentially return. Check them out!
