They have a hot food plate that's always a good deal. But what you get, and how you get charged for it depends on who is serving you.

The Vintage - New Orleans, LA…read more The Vintage on Magazine Street was our very first food stop in New Orleans, and it turned out to be a great way for my wife and me to start our trip. From the moment we walked in, I really liked the atmosphere. The place has a cool, relaxed New Orleans vibe with a little bit of an upscale café feel without being overly fancy. It's the kind of spot where you can come in, sit down, enjoy some good food and drinks, and just take your time. Of course, we couldn't come to New Orleans and not start things off with beignets! We decided to go with the Fancy Beignet Flight, which gave us a chance to try several different flavors. We got the raspberry, s'mores, and Chantilly. They came out looking almost too good to eat, covered in powdered sugar with all the different fillings and toppings. Almost... because we definitely ate them! They were warm, sweet, messy in the best possible way, and a fun introduction to our New Orleans food adventure. For my meal, I ordered the Italian Panini with the truffle Parmesan fries. The sandwich was packed with meat, cheese, and flavor. Looking at that cross-section, they definitely weren't being stingy with the fillings! The bread was toasted nicely, and everything worked well together. The truffle fries were another highlight. They had plenty of seasoning and Parmesan and paired perfectly with the sandwich. I also grabbed a small iced mocha, which went really well with the food and especially the beignets. One thing I really enjoyed about The Vintage was the atmosphere. The interior has a lot of character, from the marble tables and vintage-style flooring to the bar and pastry display. It feels like a place that belongs on Magazine Street. It was comfortable enough that we didn't feel rushed and could just enjoy being in New Orleans together. The service was good during our visit, and everything came together for a really enjoyable first meal in the city. Our bill came to around $48 after tax and tip for the two of us, and considering we had a sandwich, upgraded fries, drinks, and the beignet flight, I thought it was a good experience for the money. Most importantly, this place gave my wife and me a great start to our New Orleans trip. When your first stop includes a loaded Italian panini, truffle Parmesan fries, iced coffee, and a whole flight of beignets, you know the trip is starting off right! Definitely a place I would visit again. Great food, great atmosphere, and a great first taste of New Orleans. 5 stars from us!

We chose to sit on the patio, and it was a really nice atmosphere. The menu looked fantastic. Unfortunately, they were out of chicken and beignets. We had the crab cheesecake as an appetizer and it was delicious. For our meals, we settled on shrimp tcefuncte, the duck confit tostada, and the crab cake Benedict. The sauce on the shrimp was great, as were the grits. However, there was hardly any shrimp on it (only 4-5 pieces). The crab cakes and duck tostada were promising but were somewhat bland, so we dipped them in sauce from the leftover shrimp lol. We'd come back to try a few other things.

I've heard the hype about beignets and had to try them for myself. I visited this location because…read morethey stay open pretty late. And because it's a popular tourist attraction. The venue was pretty happening as they were packed when I arrived. Nevertheless I was still able to find a good place to sit. This place was a total vibe. And I am one who doesn't normally like crowded places, but they had live music and it was just so comforting and chill. I loved the beignets as well as the coffee. I ordered the cafe au lait and honestly, I felt so sophisticated! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. My first time trying beignets was amazing. Thank you for the experience!

The service was great, our waitress got us in and out. The place is very high paced environment. They informed us after we asked for the bill that they are cash only. The ground was very dirty.

The beignets were also sub par. I was disappointed in the lack of flavor. It really was just a piece of fried down with a mountain of powdered sugar on top. I was expecting their to be dipping sauces but there was not.

The eggs Benedict was on the smaller side, but it was just right for my appetite. The potatoes had good flavor without being overwhelming. The staff were friendly and attentive. I'd definitely go back.

They have many options on the menu including healthy breakfast items, which is what I needed a few months ago when we dined here. They also have their yummy, rich calroific options as well.

The ambience is true New Orleans, wooden floors, high ceilings, art on the walls, french doors, and great service I can't wait to come back and of course, I will get that Irish coffee!

With the recent rain, the usual…read morepotent French Quarter street smells were washed away, leaving the air beautifully fresh and the temperatures perfectly cool. Though pop-up showers were still lingering, my husband and I decided to take a gamble on courtyard dining--and I am so glad we did! Sheltered under the green umbrellas surrounded by historic brick walls, lush greenery, and rain-kissed citrus trees, the atmosphere was incredibly romantic and peaceful. The courtyard's intimate layout even brought a bit of extra magic to our evening. We sat near another wonderful couple (and their adorable daughter) and became fast friends, sharing laughs and conversation throughout the night. What truly anchored the experience, though, was the incredible service. The staff was remarkably personable, helpful, and welcoming. The dinner itself was excellent from start to finish, showcasing immense culinary skill across every dish. We started with the delicious brussels sprouts and a uniquely seasoned spring/summer gumbo that was unlike any version we've had before (oh, what I would give for the recipe). As for the entrées, the shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and the blackened catfish sandwich with a fresh salad was executed flawlessly...and the bread pudding was fantastic, too! It is rare to find an experience where top-tier hospitality, a breathtaking environment, and great food come together so (seemingly) effortlessly. Café Amélie is an absolute must-visit! We will be back.

The host was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our server and helpers were over quickly to drop off waters and greet us. I ended up ordered the salmon. With it being so early and only one or 2 other tables besides my friend and me, the food did take longer to come out than I expected it to. Both of us did thoroughly enjoy what we got. The salmon was crispy on the outside with a nice sauce over it. We thought we'd have time to get dessert so we ordered a couple but that too took a very long time. We finally waved down our server to cancel and get the check since we had to be somewhere and he apologized and said their WiFi was going in and out so it could be that it was registering on the kitchen side. That may have explained why our entrees took too long. If it wasn't for the service and the food being great - I would not be thrilled about timing. We got there around 5:30p and had to leave by 7:15p so an almost 2 hours experience that probably could have been 1 hour.
