The ladyfriend brought me here for an early birthday dinner. You know the one meal per year that I…read moream not paying! Haha. Anyway, we were seated immediately, and the waiter gave us the list of specials. I started off with a perfectly made Sazerac that turned into 2 Sazeracs rather quickly. The chef gave us some free bruschetta that was delicious, then came the free bread which was a small hot loaf of Leidenheimers. So good! I ordered a Caprese salad to start which was simple and light, much needed after the doubling up of carbs. For an Entree I got the duck which was a fried half of a duck with a raspberry sauce with spinach and sweet potatoes. Phenomenal. Then they gave me a little birthday dessert which was some sort of chocolate covered ice cream that was lit on fire. This was a great meal with great service. Who could ask for anything more?

The trout almandine had no flavor. Even the brown butter sauce it had was completely soaked up and the trout was very fishy, the green beans were overcooked and not seasoned, The lemon tart was good but the crust and the topped cookie was dry as can be. Overall, would not come back for brunch

On a rainy night in New Orleans, sorry Brook Benton (my first ever Brook Benton reference), my…read morefriend and I headed to Galliano Restaurant on Julia for happy hour oysters and dinner, but mostly the oysters. Long rainy but fabulous day at JazzFest left us in a hungry mood for more of that great stuff that Nola serves up best. My friend started with an Old Fashioned that she very much enjoyed which I know because she got it refreshed. I ordered the Rougaroux which was too good and refreshing so I nursed it through the meal as this cocktail went down too easy and I'm a lightweight and cheap date so I know my limit. We had an excellent server who recommended we order the BBQ Pork Belly with our 1/2 dozen Louisiana select oysters. I would have loved the char grilled but I'm gluten intolerant and they use flour and I can't go for that. I hope Daryl Hall doesn't sue me. We split the 6 oysters and they were ginormous, tender and sweet. With the side fixings of cocktail sauce and mignonette (also horseradish but I'm not a fan of this condiment as I feel sorry for the horse), we were in oyster heaven and my friend is relatively new to the raw oyster game really enjoyed these delights. Next came the BBQ pork Belly with Honey Crystal hot sauce glaze, andouille and tasso mach choux, creamy mash potatoes, fried okra, pickled red onion. This was one of the best pork bellies I've ever had because it was so meaty, perfectly prepared with just the right small amount of fat keeping it tender and the glaze with the mach choux and creamy mash potatoes was so good we easily could have thrown in the towel and screamed No Mas. We didn't so wait, there is more. We split the Lamb Chops two ways, one a lamb chop with an excellent Chimichurri Sauce and a lamb sausage. I thank the Mary Poppins films for introducing the world the Chimichurri sauce. The lamb chop was excellent while the lamb sausage was good, very lamby and a bit too salty. Rougaroux Flor de Cana white rum, Bayou Spice Rum ,blood orange sour, black cherry syrup, Regan's Orange bitters Louisiana "Select" Raw Oysters With horseradish, cocktail sauce and toasted filé mignonette Half-Dozen BBQ Pork Belly Honey Crystal hot sauce glaze, andouille and tasso mach choux, creamy mash potatoes, fried okra, pickled red onion Lamb Two Ways 2 Lamb loin chops and Lamb sausage grilled and served on a sizzling plate with Chimichurri, asparagus, roasted fingerling potatoes This joint inside is comfortable with the look of an unfinished warehouse but not in a bad way at all. Booths surround the exterior in the one large dining area, nice bar and a smoky aroma that enhances the taste buds without causing one to run out to safety. All in all, another great meal in a city with the best food in the US of A.

The Bower has always been a classy favorite of mine. I did a Monday night dinner here and…read moreeverything was amazing. Here's what I got: *Crispy Cauliflower: Had a nice hot kick to it and exploding with flavor. You got your cilantro, you chili oil, green onion, and a bit of cabbage. I think this was my favorite thing tonight. *Yellow Squash Stuffed Shells: This menu item is rich with flavor, yet soft. You get delicious notes of curry, lemon mascarpone, tomato sauce and it's not super acidic. *Cheesecake: Surprise sweet ending! Good thing I saved room for this soft, fluffy, and decadent dessert with strawberry topping. All of the flavors in each dish meshed perfectly together without any overpowering. Service is great, they are very attentive and will make sure you are good the entire time.

It's a super cool, modern atmosphere with a very comfortable yet /modern feel. On this trip, we had the Charred Artichoke, which came out with perfect char yet tender hearts. Tasty with an onion/garlicky cream sauce. We had two show stoppers...1. Crispy Cauliflower is in a green-onion/chili-oil/harissa-type red slather. Sooooo good! Then, the VERY BEST 2. Avocado Panzanella: the best I've ever had in America and my best panzanella period! That says a lot as I LOVE them in restaurants globally, including Southern Tuscany/the Isle of Sicily. It's an avocado lover's dream, with plenty of this star ingredient of many chunks of avocado(zero skipping here!), crunchy bread pieces, sun-dried tomatoes, etc., in a creamy, slightly hot honey vinaigrette (I believe). There is a Bay Scallop Aracini we have to try next time. It sounds Great! I LOVE a Bolognese because it takes 12-16 hours to cook/smolder/meld. The Bower takes such time & it's very apparent they care to smother it with plenty of porky and beefy goodness. Amazing entree‼ Lastly, our dessert was a Dark Chocolate-type tort. Not sure if it's "flourless," so I don't want to say that in case you're on a flourless diet. But, if you can, it's fantastic. Thankfully... Not too sweet at all. It's perfect, and I'm not even a typical chocolate person. Pls geaux...youll be very satiated!!!

This was the worst dining experience my husband and I have had in New Orleans, and quite possibly…read moreever. We arrived on time for our 7:15 reservation and had informed the restaurant beforehand that we were celebrating a birthday. There was glitter on the table, which was a nice touch, but once we were seated and served water, we were promptly forgotten about. After waiting 15 minutes, someone finally came to take our drink orders. Another 15 minutes passed, and our drinks still had not arrived--and we still hadn't been given menus. Two different waiters came by and asked if we had already placed drink orders, and we explained that we were still waiting for them. It was unclear who our actual waiter was. Meanwhile, tables around us that had been seated after we arrived had already received their drinks and had their dinner orders taken. After 45 minutes, our drinks finally arrived, and we asked for dinner menus. By the time the menus arrived, we had been at the restaurant for 55 minutes without ever having the opportunity to order food. At that point, we asked for the check and left. The manager did apologize and offered to pay for our drinks, which we declined because we wanted to pay for what we had ordered. Overall, this was an extremely disappointing experience, especially for a fine-dining restaurant. We understand that restaurants can have an off night, but the lack of communication, attentiveness, and basic service throughout our visit was far beyond that. We will not be back to give it another try, and unfortunately, we would not recommend Gautreau's to anyone. New Orleans has so many wonderful fine-dining establishments where you can enjoy both excellent food and excellent service.
