A love letter to Coquette…read more I moved to New Orleans in 2014, for a job I'd been trying to get since 2012, and which resulted in the end of a relationship with someone who had fallen out of love with the city years before. My life has been changed in so many positive ways over the last 12 years, and it all started with Coquette. My first meal out, on my first day of work right after Labor Day was at Coquette for lunch with my ex-boyfriend's law school friend. I don't remember the person's name, and don't think I actually saw him again after that lunch, but I remember the feeling of that fancy, yet understated meal as a warm welcome to the city I now call home. I've gotten incredible fantasy football tips from the bartenders over brunch at the. I've celebrated birthdays and promotions and making in to Thursday with dinners and wine. No matter why I have ended up at Coquette over the years, and with who, it's always ended up being a special experience that is just hard to put into words. Of course when I heard we were nearing the end I immediately made a dinner reservation, and brought my partner, who somehow had never been. We sat at the bar, and ended up running into one of my close friends also getting one last meal at this special spot. We ate like kings and laughed and marveled at how unique this place is, even in a city full of award-winning chefs and beautifully curated restaurants. I'm so sad that this era has come to an end, but so grateful to have had so many great experiences here and that those who brought us this place are embarking on new culinary adventures in the city! So long, and thanks for all the fish!

My friend and I indulged in several courses to fully enjoy the various options. The Hamachi Crudo was excellent. It was fresh and quite flavorful and paired quite well with my cocktail, Gold Sounds. The Fig & Goat Cheese Ravioli was perfectly prepared and provided the perfect sweet & salty taste before continuing to the new course. For our second course, we both enjoyed the Soup de Jour, which was a Tomato Bisque, and the Grilled Bok Choy & Little Gem. Both were light but satisfying. For our entrees, we ordered the Ora King Salmon and Sweet Potato & Fontina Pierogies. The salmon was perfectly prepared with the right amount of crisp from being sautéed. The pierogies satisfied the sweet and savory taste bud that paired perfectly with the glass of champagne. As we departed, the staff saw us to the door and even offered to take our photograph outside of the restaurant. The service was excellent and we felt the warmth beyond the high quality dining experience. I highly recommend.

The space is great, intimate, beautiful, with a good vibe. The service was fantastic. The food was…read moregood but not memorable. The sweetbreads were prepared like american-chinese takeout; no seasoning to the rice or the steamed broccoli and the sauce overwhelmed the flavor of the sweetbreads; it could have been any meat. The butter sauce, gnocchi, vegetables, and skin-side of the red snapper were fantastic but the rest of the filet was a little dry and tough and lacking flavor. I don't think the food preparation or serving sizes justified the price tag but it definitely was not bad.

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.

Happy Hour at the Bower!…read more I came here for Happy Hour with a friend which runs from 4-6pm daily. They also had a Chargrilled Oyster special going on- 6 for $12 or 12 for $24. The ambience was nice! The restaurant wasn't too busy when we got there so we were seated right away and the service was very attentive. We ordered the potatoes which was recommended by our server and the Cacio e Pepe which was one of my favorite dishes from Italy. In addition we got 12 chargrilled oysters. The potatoes were a fantastic recommendation and we really enjoyed them. There was so much flavor and sauce was a good combination. The Cacio e Pepe left something to be desired, it was still good just not as good as what I've had in Italy. The oysters were delicious as well! The serving sizes were good and plenty for two people to finish without leftovers.

A delightful evening at one of the best neighborhood restaurants in the Garden district. We began…read morewith cocktails next door at the restaurant lounge called Avegno. It's a very classy place with skilled bartenders. Our Paper Planes were above par and the Soniet, a bourbon whiskey sour recommended by the server, was properly and nicely balanced. Service was excellent at Avegno and goes up a level at Gautreau's. Good thing too since this former pharmacy is not very large. Tables are comfortable but tightly arranged. Once the night gets rolling, it can be loud. The servers handle everything exceptionally well. The wine list is extensive but there are solid choices by the glass if your party is not into wine. The starters and entrees are well curated--not a huge menu at all but there is still plenty of choices between shellfish, fish, fowl and meat. For starters we had the duck confit starter--so tasty and plentiful--and charbroiled oysters--excellent quality. Our mains were the roasted chicken and the amberjack. The chicken is a staple of the menu. It's easy to understand why: roasted so it's juicy and tender perfectly accompanied by a roast gravy, mashed potatoes and green beans. Very filling. The amberjack was full of flavor and the shoestring potatoes have few competitors, anywhere. For dessert we recommend the cream brûlée, one of the city's best, and the baked Alaska. The latter is a beautiful dish and this time had cherry ice cream. Just perfect, as was the entire evening.

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.
