Stopped by here because I'd heard this was a classic New Orleans spot that's worth checking out…read more Fun fact: it's actually attached to the Hilton, which I didn't realize before visiting! Overall, the food was tasty, especially the seafood dishes. The green peppers were definitely spicier than I expected, so I ended up picking most of them out, but everything else was really flavorful. The portions are on the smaller side considering the price, so I'd keep that in mind when ordering. That said, the crispy Brussels sprouts absolutely live up to the reputation -- definitely one of the highlights! Service was another strong point. Everyone was attentive and friendly, and they checked in periodically without being overbearing. Everything felt pretty well managed throughout the meal The ambiance is more of a classic, casual diner-style setup, with dim lighting and paper-covered tables. Seating was comfortable overall, although the space felt a little tight in some areas Overall, if you don't mind paying a bit more for smaller portions, I'd still say this is a spot worth checking out while you're in New Orleans. The location is also super convenient if you're exploring around Bourbon Street, so it's an easy stop while checking out the area!

What a beautiful find! It feels like walking into a French cottage, and it smells so good inside!…read moreMy senses and taste buds fully activated, we dove into the simple menu: Bread Service - Holy moly, the pretzel bread was amazing and the herb butter was phenomenal. They warn you that the bread is piping hot, and minutes after it arrived, it still was. Escargot - I have never had it prepared this way, in the green sauce surrounding a mound of burrata. Definitely inventive and I love that I got to taste them in a new way. Redfish over pasta and peas - I was in heaven. The fish could not have been tastier. The bed of pasta and peas fully immersed in what seemed like a couple blocks of butter was a joy to behold. I also had a bite the famous florentine, excellent. Rice pudding - the only miss for us. The brulee'd top was fantastic, but the rice pudding is mixed with marshmallows to give it a very thick, very marshmallow-y taste that quickly overwhelmed the dessert. Lemon Madelines - perfect little morsels with a beautiful crisp on the outside. The servers and the scene were wonderful. Everyone seemed happy to be there. I observed one group sharing how delighted they were with their experience, and I could see the glow on their faces as they walked out. We felt exactly the same way.

The place is charming, the servers are great, the food comes out quick and everything we had was excellent with only small critiques. We had the tomato salad, the crab dip special, and the duck liver pate, followed by mussels and the steak au poivre with the soy sauce creme brulee. All of our starters were phenomenal. The steak was considerably over, cooked Medium/Medium-Well instead of Medium/Medium-Rare, but it was still delicious. The Creme Brulee was a bit overbaked and a tiny bit burnt, but also still delicious. Overall 9/10. 0.5 off for each of the over-cooks, but we will absolutely be back.

As you turn to the left, you enter the bar and the smell of turpentine hits your nose. The bar looks like a scene from the 1920's just as was built over a 100 years ago. The music and bartenders fit the role. I got the French 75...that's what they're known for. I took one for the team on that one because I really don't like champagne. Cheers to the fighter pilots! The guyaba colada was where it's at. What a unique perfectly balanced craft cocktail. The ingredients all come together so it's very hard to pinpoint what's actually in it. La grande dame...you can smell the roses as they make the drink. Ironically, the drink did not taste like roses. It was a balanced citrus based cocktail with a touch of sour from the fresh lime. Very delicious and delightful. Makulu makai- looks like a work of art! Tastes like candy with a blend of lime and fresh mixed fruit with lime. It doesn't taste like alcohol because it's balanced to perfection. So good! Fall old fashioned called the southern gentleman - bourbon brown butter washed with pecan - a bit on the sweet side from the brown butter. Tastes like dessert, not overly alcohol forward as most old fashioned are because the brown butter tones it down some...great work!

You know those places that feel like an institution ,something you just have to visit as a tourist…read more New Orleans has plenty of them, and this one definitely comes across as one of the originals. We found a seat, ordered our drinks, and had a great time once they arrived. The space could have been better maintained- floors were noticeably soiled with spilled drinks and napkins, and there didn't seem to be much effort to clean up during our visit. The drinks themselves were excellent. I had a French 75, and my husband ordered a Sazerac. We also got some fries to go along with our drinks since we were bar hopping and not planning a full meal. The fries were good and paired nicely with the cocktails.Service was generally fine, but overall the cleanliness and upkeep of the space took away slightly from the experience, which is a shame given the reputation of the place.

I looked around the completely empty restaurant for a few second and asked if she was sure, and she said yes, you can only sit at the bar. We sat outside as we figured out where to go, and wouldn't you know it, in about the 20 minutes we sat on the bench outside the entrance, maybe a single goddamn person came in. Where are all the people that made them so booked up that they couldn't find a spot for us? Listen, I get it, I showed up on the wrong night, but the place was empty inside, they absolutely had room to seat us, they actively chose not to.

The service so friendly, and efficient. And the food, double wows, creative, ton of flavors, nothing out of place. So glad I finally made it, for Easter Sunday brunch no less. We started with cocktails, solid and refreshing. The small plates with fun--beignets with a great sauce and shrimp remoulade that was different in its white remoulade but truly fresh chilled shrimp. Outstanding. We went different ways on the mains, with a brilliant fish and chips plus the breakfast plate. So well prepared--devoured both. Justine is now firmly on my French Quarter list!

I'm really…read morenot sure why we needed reservations especially since the restaurant was only about 40% occupied. Our waitress was nice and attentive for the most part. She was a bit chatty but still nice. The menu wasn't extensive at all. The waitress did a good job at selling many of the menu options. I initially had the chicken with carrots and brussel sprouts. The vegetables were perfectly cooked and flavored well. The chicken however was very dry. When the waitress asked how it was, I told her how dry it was and she immediately bright me something else, which was the fish and chips. The fish was hot, crispy, and cooked to perfection. It was tender, however it lacked flavor and seasoning. I asked for hot sauce but never received it. I finally decided to ask for a to go box to take the remaining piece home. The chips "fries" were great. They were freshly cut real potato fries. They were hot and seasoned well. My significant other had the shrimp and grits which he thoroughly enjoyed. As an appetizer we had the salad. Seemed simple and basic enough but was actually very good. I'm unsure of the dressing it was tossed in but it was just enough and well flavored. We skipped on dessert. We considered the cookie plate but since nobody could tell us what kind of cookies they were, so we decided to pass. The best part about our dining experience was the ambiance. The music was nice and the decor was vibrant and swanky . I also had a mocktail flavored with pineapple, jalapeno, lime, mint, and cilantro. It was refreshing. I'm glad we had a chance to check it out before closing but I can honestly say there was no "WOW" factor and likely I wouldn't have been in a hurry to come back.

I'd previously sampled great bites from Chef/Owner Justin Devillier (2016 James Beard Award winner for Best Chef: South) at a guest dinner in Charleston, as well as from Exec Chef Joseph Tiedmann at a Farm Dinner in West Palm Beach. But this was my first visit to "the mother ship", housed in a historic century-old building. I decided to start with the Fried Gulf Oysters - Sofrito Purée, Chowchow & Pickled Sweet Peppers, and was glad I did. There's no shortage of oyster dishes in NOLA, and this was a big winner. Next up, when in the South, why not order Fried Green Tomatoes - Burrata, Country Ham & Oregano? Another terrific plate, perhaps the best FGT dish I've had! Finally, my "target dish" arrived, the Shrimp & Okra Gumbo with Andouille, Collard Greens & Popcorn Rice. Really, really good. Very dark roux, as I like, and with plenty of seafood flavor, but more depth as well. Definitely one of the best gumbos I've ever enjoyed. I was happy to visit La Petite Grocery at lunch, where they offer up the full menu available for dinner too, of course. Highly recommended, and I can't wait to return to try much much more.

The restaurant feels upscale without being pretentious, although I do wish they enforced some sort of dress code, even if it were just smart casual. The biggest drawback was the noise level, which was extreme. We could barely hear our waitress and had to speak quite loudly to hear each other across the table. The service was kind and attentive throughout our visit. We were greeted with complimentary champagne in honor of our celebration, which was a very thoughtful touch. We did have to wait quite a while for our entrées, though I don't mind a leisurely dinner and actually appreciate not feeling rushed. Still, the wait was noticeable enough to mention. As for the food, we started with the blue crab beignets, which were delicious. My only complaint is that they come in an order of three, which feels like an odd number for a dish that many couples or groups will likely want to share. I'd gladly pay a few dollars more for an order of four! We also tried the potato and leek soup special, which was divine. For our entrées, we ordered the roasted chicken and filet mignon. Both were excellent and cooked perfectly. For sides, we went with the macaroni and sweet potatoes. The macaroni was honestly just okay, but the sweet potatoes were delicious, and I'd definitely order them again. My only other critique is that the side options seemed to be missing a good vegetable dish to round out the meal. We actually found the prices quite reasonable given the upscale atmosphere and quality of the food. Overall, we had a lovely evening and would absolutely return!

Our server, Stacia, was very nice and knowledgeable whenever we had any questions about the menu or the restaurant in general. For appetizers, we got their Half Dozen Raw Oysters with Sugar Cane Mignionette & Cocktail Sauce on the side. The oysters were a bit small & just okay, but the sugar cane mignonette enhanced the flavor to a whole other level! For entrees, I got their Cajun Spice Drum with Eggplant Rice & Blue Crab and my friend got their Ribeye Steak & Fries with a house made Garlic Aioli Sauce. So delicious!! The portions for the blue crab were huge, and the drum was baked and blended very well with the eggplant rice. As for the ribeye, my friend said it was very juicy and flavorful. He said that the Garlic Aioli Sauce was his favorite, as it had the right amount of zest to it when dipped with the fries. For our side dish, we got their Maggie's Mushrooms. The mushrooms were seasoned very well. As for drinks, I just got an Arnold Palmer (half iced tea & half lemonade), but it was still very good. As for desserts, we got their Coconut Cream Pie & Crème Brûlée. They were both so delicious! The crème brûlée was so crisp from the torching process. As for the coconut cream pie, the coconut flavor was so rich and blended well with the caramelized pineapple slices. Overall, Chemin A La Mer knocked it out of the park with not only presentation, but also service and taste. It's well worth a visit if you're looking for a new fancy restaurant in New Orleans!

We ordered the crabcakes and baked feta as our appetizers, a medium rare ribeye and the special which was the lobster radiatore as our entrees. Everything was DELICIOUS.

Steak was cooked to perfection. We tasted the rosemary w/ garlic and I'm not complaining. Lastly, the lobster radiatore. It was creamy and packed with a punch.

The crab salad was bland it needed something else to liven up the flavor a spoon luck of mayo maybe some pepper or salt. Pepper and salt and all the condiments are on the table which I've never a fan of it. The fine dining restaurants think it means they fancy but this food wasn't fancy the place was nice. The Service needs to be retrained. We ate here because we were seeing the old-fashioned Magic show at Eliza Jane next-door and if you wanna come in for some apps or maybe try or the other entrées I didn't find anything. I really wanted to try because I'm not a big fan of French food I guess I should've tried the duck. There may be some good food here, but I won't be back till to find out we were both underwhelmed. Hopefully they fix the problems if somebody else gives a better review, but I cannot. We both agree the french fries were good. Ambience is pretty good with their remodeling so the bathroom was like a 5 to 10 minute wait it's only one person at a time and women kept using the men's room because it's only.
