Almog K.

Such a great vibe! Music was a touch too loud in my personal experience but I'm a little too sensitive to sounds. We had dinner with a client and our server was super sweet and accommodating. This is more of a high end restaurant and the Chef is excellent and so creative. We were 3 people for early dinner at 5pm, $370 including service. We had 2 first courses and 3 main plus 3 sides.

Pork Chop
Mark D.

It had been a while since my last trip to New Orleans, so I spent Super Bowl weekend back in town enjoying some gambling and early Mardi Gras celebrations. My original plan was dinner at La Boca Steakhouse, one of my longtime go-to spots, but a same-day call about kitchen equipment issues forced them to cancel reservations for the evening. With plans suddenly open, we pivoted and decided to try Restaurant Rebirth -- a fitting name considering the change of plans and my familiarity with the space from its previous restaurant days. The menu is fairly focused, leaning toward farm-to-table Cajun-Creole dishes. Dinner started with cornbread served with honey, and honestly, it was incredible. I could have happily made a meal out of that alone (regret not asking for seconds). I began with a blueberry martini that was a little too sweet for my taste, then switched to an Abita Amber, which paired much better with the food. For appetizers we ordered the BBQ pork belly, shrimp and eggplant, and the oyster angel hair pasta -- all very good, with the pork belly being the standout. Entrées included a beautifully presented whole blackened redfish that tasted as good as it looked, a 20-oz boneless ribeye cooked to a perfect medium rare with crawfish tasso maque choux, and a double-cut pork chop. The steak had great flavor but was surprisingly a bit tough, the only real disappointment of the night. The pork chop, however, completely stole the show -- perfectly cooked, tender, and one of the best I've had. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the space remains dark, warm, and inviting -- a vibe I've always liked in this location. Overall: a very enjoyable meal and a great backup plan when our original reservation fell through. I'll definitely return, especially if La Boca isn't available on my next trip to New Orleans.

Great smaller restaurant to get a true feel of New Orleans cuisine. Great service, unique warehouse district decor and ambiance, and great drinks! Check out their unique menu and make a reservation as the word is getting around and they are starting to get busy!

The BEST gumbo ever. And the Best prom belly ever.

Really fun New Orleans cushion food! Everything was hornet and delicious beyond belief. Fun and friendly staff

Pork belly
Jennifer S.

If you like your meat moist , tender, and full of flavor, you must try the pork belly! The greens it rests on is delish and even their gumbo, which is served in a cute little cast iron cauldron is rich and flavorful in the best way possible. Very intimate and cozy place with really nice staff! Even the manager included himself in conversation with us and helped serve the food. Don't miss out on this gem!

Love this cozy restaurant. They have best corn bread and bread pudding I've ever tasted.

I have a new favorite restaurant. This place is phenomenal. We went last night to celebrate my husband's birthday and it was not disappointing. We started with the fried oysters appetizer and the pork belly appetizer and both were amazing. The pork belly appetizer could have been a little spicier, but it was delicious. We then shared a serving of the gumbo. We split a 22 oz. ribeye for the entree. It was one of the most delicious steaks i have eaten in my life. We will definitely go back and recommend this to our friends.

Possibly the BEST restaurant that I've eaten at in New Orleans! We made reservations for the bar (nothing else was available) for our first night in town and ended up going back on our last night, as well as recommending it to others. The place is small, so if you plan to go, make a reservation. We had a wonderful meal both at the bar and at the table, and the service was great at both. They are not a steakhouse, but they do a mean steak and it comes sizzling on a hot iron plate. The pork belly is a must get as well as the gumbo which comes piping hot. The fried oysters were also spectacular and I usually don't like cooked oysters. There was some menu items I liked better than others, but everything was so tasty. Highly recommend and this will be the first place I stop on my next trip to New Orleans.

Whats the dress attire?

Ranged from casual business attire to fancyish nice out.

No prices on their website. Trying to have a little idea of a budget for a trip. Anyone help me out?

With appetizer entree and say 2 drinks you could get a way with $60-$75 per person including tip. Also I had the pork chop its enormous and could probably be share with 2 hungry people. If my memory serves me right that was $28.

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!

Five stars, but can we give Sam a few extra?!…read more We spent the evening watching Sam run the show as the expediter, and let me tell you, this man is a MACHINE! He never stopped moving, kept everything running like a well oiled machine, and absolutely kicked ass all night. Honestly, at some point we were more entertained watching Sam work than anything else going on in the restaurant! By the end of dinner, we had officially become Sam fans and asked our server to send him over so we could meet the legend himself. A few fist bumps and a little conversation later, he did not disappoint! Funny, humble, hardworking, and just an all around great guy. Sam, we see you! Whatever they're paying you, it's probably not enough. Give this man a raise, a cape, or at least a standing ovation! Great food and great experience, but Sam stole the show!

I genuinely do NOT understand the hype around Pêche. We came in with pretty high expectations given…read morethe Michelin Guide recognition and this was easily one of the most disappointing meals we had in New Orleans. We got there about 20 minutes early and they were nice enough to seat us early, which I appreciated. We did ask the host if the AC was working because it was HOT and he looked at us like we had just offended his mother. Weird start. Our waiter Jason came over to explain the menu and immediately seemed flustered/annoyed that we had questions. It was our first time there?? Of course we had questions lol. I told him I have a crustacean allergy. He mentioned shellfish and I clarified that it was specifically crustaceans because I can eat other shellfish. No big deal and I WILL give them credit because they did accommodate my allergy. Before the food even came my father-in-law ordered an Old Fashioned with one large cube. Jason seemed annoyed by that request too, said it was fine, and then the drink comes out with a bunch of regular ice cubes anyway. Had to be redone. Small thing but this basically became the theme of the night. Then the food. I wanted the kale salad and asked if they could leave off the peanuts. Absolutely not because apparently it's the chef's grandmother's recipe and there are NO modifications. Okay grandma. We won't disrespect the recipe. For my hanger steak they offered to cook it separately in a pan because of my allergy which I genuinely appreciated. I also asked if I could ORDER the creamed corn on the side and was told he could ask but couldn't guarantee what the kitchen would do. What?? It's literally on the menu and I'm paying for it lol. They did bring it and it was basically corn kernels sitting in watery liquid. Underwhelming is being generous. The crab claws were good but nothing memorable. My boyfriend ordered the steak tartare and somehow that took longer than everything else because apparently raw steak on bread needed extra time. Then the Royal Red shrimp...THIS was insane. My boyfriend was almost finished when he got to one that was undercooked and SLIMY. At a seafood restaurant with this kind of reputation??? We told Jason and basically got a "thank you for letting me know." Sir. You just served someone slimy undercooked shrimp. Maybe show a LITTLE concern??? For entrées my boyfriend and his mom got the grilled cobia. Tiny piece of fish with a bland corn situation. Mediocre at best. My father-in-law and I got the hanger steak. Mine was closer to rare than medium rare and kind of cold. Again...mediocre. Because of my allergy my potatoes came separately which I appreciated. Mine had aioli underneath them while my father-in-law's SAME potatoes had no aioli whatsoever. We asked someone why and he literally just smiled at us like... No explanation. My father-in-law ended up eating some of mine. Then Jason realized he completely forgot my mother-in-law's Brussels sprouts AFTER our entrées were already out. He offered to put them in but couldn't guarantee they would arrive before we finished eating. LOL okay never mind then?? By this point Jason seemed to be actively avoiding our table and honestly the entire staff looked MISERABLE. That was probably the weirdest part of the whole experience. Everyone looked annoyed. Nobody seemed like they wanted to be there. People kept walking behind us hitting my chair and my mother-in-law's chair. It was hot, cramped and just had a shitty vibe. The saving grace was dessert. The sticky toffee pudding and caramel cake were REALLY good and easily the best part of the entire meal. But two good desserts cannot save an entire dinner. Between the mediocre food, inconsistent service, forgotten order, weird attitude over basic questions and an UNDERCOOKED SHRIMP at a seafood restaurant...I truly do not understand the reputation. Maybe we caught them on a terrible night but New Orleans has way too many incredible restaurants for me to ever waste another meal here.

Out in New Orleans on vacation, and our hotel recommended Mr. Ed's to us.

Run, don't walk, to Mr. Ed's! This place is AMAZING! Definitely a must-try when you're in New Orleans!

Great Food, Beautiful Atmosphere, but Service Could Be Better!…read more During our trip to New Orleans, we stopped at Mr. Ed's Seafood Restaurant, and overall, it was a really good experience! First, I absolutely loved the atmosphere! The restaurant was beautiful, especially the blue walls and the overall vibe. We were seated inside near the open doors, which gave us the perfect opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and people-watch while dining. I LOVE a good people-watching spot! LOL! Now, let's talk about the FOOD! Everything we ordered was delicious! The oysters were AMAZING, the crab cakes were so flavorful, and the seafood gumbo was absolutely delicious. Everything was seasoned well, and I would definitely come back just for those oysters and crab cakes! The only downside was the service. Unfortunately, we waited quite a while for someone to come take our order. Eventually, the young lady who originally seated us had to come back and take our order herself because no one had approached our table. That was disappointing, especially considering how great everything else was. Despite the slow service, I really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and location. I'm hoping the service issue was just a one-time thing because this is definitely a restaurant I would visit again when I'm back in New Orleans! Great food, great vibes, and hopefully better service next time!

If I could give a -10, I would. The restaurant is located in the hotel. Went to Drago to help…read morecelebrate a friend's birthday. Was greeted by the host who had to clean out the table in order to be seated. Restaurant was relatively busy so noise level was intense. Server greeted us asked if we would like water to place an appetizer. We ordered a half dozen of oysters. The server asked if we would like them charred. We told the server we would like them raw. When oysters arrived, they were the size of half dollars (had no taste), there was no horseradish, nor serving forks, or lemons. Told server about our concerns. He brought back one fork, and a saucer of lemons. Tables were pretty close, so when the table behind us ordered oysters, they came out the size of the palm of your hand. Asked server if we could speak to the manager, which he informed me that he would take care of the concern. He bought back another half dozen which were a more reasonable size (had a better flavor). When the server took our entrée order, I ordered the crawfish étouffée, and my friend ordered the shrimp pasta. When the order came out, I could feel the the serving plates were very hot, which let me know that the plates had been in a microwave, my rice was old and hard, I thought I was being pranked, I asked the server for the manger. Manger came to our table to address my concerns, she asked how was the flavor of the étouffée and that she would bring out just a bowl of the étouffée, I told her I couldn't get past the rice in order to taste the rest of the dish, she's still insisted that I should try the étouffée. I told her that once I send food back twice, I could not trust what would come out of the kitchen. She told me she would take my food off the ticket. Server did try to apologize for the service of the food, but the moment was lost.
