Gumbo
Emil R.

My first meal in New Orleans since my last visit in 2013 -- and a great way to kick-off a few days in The Big Easy. The Asian Cajun Mix Grill was a fun fusion way to start things off. That night, I was lucky enough to have the rabbit (on special) with a mustard sauce, cheese grits and red beans & rice. Don't skip desert -- or the cocktails (ask your fabulous server for a recommendation) in this casual dining room that's a wee bit off the beaten path away from the throngs of tourists (like me).

Inside Gabrielle's

The service is great. Real New Orleans hospitality on display. Great for an intimate dining experience; fist date or established relationship. Also can accommodate small groups. I recommend reservations to ensure you have a spot. I had a business dinner meeting here and it was very good. The staff were intrusive yet attentive.

Seafood gumbo
Destiny C.

The service was immaculate. The waiter explained the entire menu to our group of 5, and was incredibly hospitable. The only problem was the food itself. While the gumbo looked amazing, it tasted bland. I've never had bland gumbo before. The duck and dirty rice was so salty it was barely edible (and I like a lot of salt!).

This was our first time having the bbq shrimp sweet potato pie and oh my, it was so good!! The oysters were really good too but the pie is the star appetizer. The fish came out a bit undercooked which they fixed pretty quickly. It was very tasty and with the biggest lump crab cake ever that had a deliciously paired sauce with it. The decor is very Nola: warm, inviting, a bit eclectic but still in a relaxed, elegant way. The service was great too!

Traiteur Fish - seared filet of gulf fish, jumbo crab cake, preserved lemon aioli. Duck fat fries.
Carmencita S.

Nice ambiance and friendly service. I enjoyed my Traiteur Fish (seared filet of gulf fish, jumbo crab cake, preserved lemon aioli). It was a big portion: I got two fish filets and a huge crab cake. The fish was excellent . Love the creole seasoning. The crab cake was crispy outside and very juicy inside - unfortunately I didn't get to finish it. It was too much food. My friend got the smoked gumbo with sausage, however she didn't like it. She said it was too smoky for her so much so that it tasted bitter after a while. She didn't finish it either.

Veal and lobster ravioli
Alexander C.

An excellent place to feel at home and eat delicious cajun cuisine. The service was friendly and unpretentious. It felt like being in someone's home who knows how to cook really amazing food. Everything we ate was not only tasty but cooked to perfection. I loved the fact that it was in an area that, as a tourist, I wouldn't typically have had on my radar. I loved my experience and would absolutely recommend Gabrielle to anyone visiting New Orleans.

Esplanade

Hubby and I had a lovely date night here on a cool, Saturday evening in NOLA. The establishment is quite cozy and intimate. Felt like I was dining at someone's home, in the best way. Waitress was very polite and attentive. Our food and drinks were divine. The BBQ shrimp pie is a must try. Truly unique and delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed my veal roulade entree. This was my first time trying veal. It was perfectly tender and paired well with the lobster ravioli. Very rich in flavors. Hubby ordered the traiteur fish that was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Delicate and tasty. He did enjoy his meal but I will say, the jumbo lump crab cake that the fish was paired with surprisingly lacked luster and flavor, especially compared to everything else we had. Albeit, our overall experience was excellent and I would highly recommend this neighborhood establishment!

Jambalaya
Angie D.

I very highly recommend to make reservations because it's small yet very busy with a lively vibe. We went for the coolanary menu. I started with the gumbo and trust me, I'd go back just for that, the dark roux was delicious. Next up was the jambalaya, it was good but I was not big on one of the sauces tha was too garlicky for my taste. The peach shortcake was good but shortcake a bit dry. Husband very much enjoyed his wagu meatballs, squash and chocolate pecan pie. I do plan to return for the gumbo.

BBQ Shrimp Pie

Gabrielle Restaurant was opened up back in 1992 by Chefs Mary and Greg Sonnier who named the restaurant after their daughter. This restaurant had some rough times re-opening after Hurricane Katrina but since setting up in their current location Gabrielle has remained a popular spot in the neighborhood for great Cajun food ever since. Gabrielle is famous for their fantastic duck and seafood along with all the rest of their amazing food. If you find yourself craving some great New Orleans Cajun food then Gabrielle Restaurant can help satisfy your desires for some fantastic Cajun food. Overall this is a great spot for some Cajun food with a bit of New Orleans Creole thrown in the mix. My video review of Gabrielle Restaurant is here: https://youtu.be/dwL0BjPfoTI

We came in Saturday night without a reservation and only had to wait a few minutes. Our waitress was amazing from the second we sat down. I really wish I remembered her name because she was super attentive, funny, patient, and honestly made the whole experience even better. My boyfriend and I started with the Creole oysters and OMG... probably some of the best oysters I've ever had. They were incredibly flavorful, and dipping the bread into all that sauce afterward was SO good. My mother-in-law had the fried calamari, which came with remoulade, and she really enjoyed it. For my entrée, I had the jambalaya with chicken and andouille sausage. It was definitely spicy, but really, really good. My boyfriend and mother-in-law both had the grilled red snapper topped with their creamy crawfish sauce, and they loved it. My father-in-law had one of the oyster specials with shrimp and crawfish, which was also excellent. We finished with dessert... boyfriend and I had a chocolate mousse/cake dessert and my in-laws had the bread pudding. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was casual and fun, they had the football games playing on the TVs, and our waitress was fantastic the entire night. Just an overall great experience. If you love seafood and oysters, definitely give this place a try. I would 100% come back!

Hot N Cajun was easily one of my favorite seafood stops in New Orleans! From the moment that…read moresteaming seafood boil bag hit the table, I knew we were in for a good meal. This was my first time having noodles added to a seafood boil, and let me tell you--they were a GAME CHANGER. The noodles soaked up all that rich, buttery Cajun sauce and seasoning, making every bite ridiculously flavorful. I honestly don't know if I can order another seafood boil without noodles now! Our boil was loaded with crab, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn, and egg, and everything came out piping hot and covered in sauce. The seafood was flavorful, the portions were generous, and once we dumped everything onto the tray, it was officially time to get messy. What I really appreciated was how well everything worked together. The noodles weren't just an unnecessary add-on--they caught all that extra sauce that normally gets left at the bottom of the bag. Do yourself a favor and add them! Come hungry, roll up your sleeves, and don't wear anything you're afraid to get Cajun sauce on. Hot N Cajun delivered exactly what I wanted from a New Orleans seafood boil: hot, messy, saucy, flavorful, and satisfying. The noodles alone made this one memorable. Definitely coming back!

Everything we ordered was delicious, and honestly, the food is the main reason I would consider giving Bon Ton another try. I also want to give credit to the host who greeted us. She was extremely friendly, professional, and genuinely tried her best to accommodate my party. The bad: The issue was management. I had a party of 13, and I understood that the restaurant could only seat 10 people at one table. I was told the other 3 guests would be seated at a separate table, and I was completely okay with that arrangement. However, Travis, the front manager, canceled the reservation for my 3 additional guests, so they were never seated. The host was trying her best to help us, but Travis was not very accommodating and made the situation much more difficult than it needed to be. I also asked to speak with a manager because I wanted to understand what happened with the table for my 3 guests. Tre was told that I wanted to speak with him, but he didn't come over when he finished with the table behind me. Instead, he went into the kitchen, came back out, and spoke with my friend instead of me. When he eventually spoke with me, I asked if he was the manager, and he told me no. He also gave me a different name. What makes this even more disappointing is that I wasn't approaching him to complain. I simply wanted to ask about the seating situation and find a solution for my guests. The interaction with management was unnecessary and took away from what should have been a special birthday dinner. I will say again that the food was good enough that I am willing to give Bon Ton another try. Hopefully, next time the service and management experience will match the quality of the food. Shoutout to the host for being kind and trying her best--you could tell she genuinely cared about helping us.

The catfish was amazing…read more The breading was done to perfection, and the fish itself was fresh and just flaked apart with the fork. My first side was the mac and cheese, which was just the right size, served in a small metal side bowl, with a great cheesy flavor. The second side was cabbage, recommended to me by my waiter. it was broiled up in a savoury consommé liquid that just gave it all sorts of flavor. The third side was candied yams, that were done to perfection with a sweet brown sugar undertone. To drink, I had the freshly squeezed lemonade made on site. With all the rest of the foods, it was a perfect compliment to an amazing meal! I got there around 11:30 AM, and was quickly shown to a table. I think I just beat the lunch rush as there was a lineup out the door by the time I left. However, the waiter never made me feel rushed, provided excellent insights into the food, and was extremely laid back and friendly. The atmosphere was very much a laid-back casual dining experience. with tasteful decor, nice high ceilings and a few TVs quietly playing some sports highlights. My only regret was not having enough room to try the famous fried chicken and their delicious-sounding desserts! A must-go for those who are wanting a true NOLA experience!

He then headed over to a newly seated table on the otherside of us to greet and get their orders. One patron was asking questions about the menu. Buffalo cauliflower $11- really done well. The florets were still crispy eventhough they were drenched in Buffalo sauce. My main course was the 1/4 dark with red beans & rice and corn bread $18. First let me talk about the red beans and rice...good flavor, well balanced. A really good side kick to the star. The fried chicken is really good. It was hot, crunchy and juicy!
