I will never not go back to Seaworthy when visiting New Orleans. Probably one of my all time favorite places now. We sat at the oyster bar just for some snacks and it was the best decision. I highly recommend the Parker house rolls, the hush puppies, the raw oysters and the caviar service. The caviar service was PHENOMENAL. They were served with mini savory beignets. I want to go back for dinner read more

They took us without a reservation and got us seated right away, which was a great start. The place has all the character and charm you expect from a New Orleans restaurant. Food was excellent. We ordered two plates of charbroiled oysters and split the halibut, and everything was cooked well. The only miss for me was the Old Fashioned. It was pricey and honestly just kind of meh. Overall, great food, great atmosphere, and definitely worth a visit. I'd go back again for the oysters without hesitation. read more

Stopped by Seaworthy during our NOLA trip for oysters at happy hour based on a bartender's rec, and it was a great choice! The front of Seaworthy is low-key, but the interior is tasteful and inviting with a lovely courtyard space. The oysters were incredibly fresh and high quality, with beautifully done shucking. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the shucker efficiently served our oysters, while carefully checking each and tossing any that weren't absolutely top-notch without hesitation, which really spoke to their commitment to quality. We tried each variety of oysters offered at the time and paired them with local beers on tap. We especially enjoyed the Alabama and Louisiana selections. Fantastic spot for oysters if you're in the area! read more

All I have to say is LOBSTER ROLL!!! It hit the mark and then some. I actually can't wait to make a man pay for my next one!!! Our waitress was amazing and attentive but not in a hovering way. I really enjoyed the theatrics that accompanied the Holy Water. So fun! And the oysters (and the cute guy shucking them) were perfect. Oh and that radicchio salad cannot be overlooked. It was incredibly fresh and tossed in the right amount of dressing. Tens all across the board! read more

This was our 5th or 6th visit yet 4th time refused to seat us as we requested on our reservation. For an oyster bar they don't seem too interested in seating in the oyster bar area. Seems apparent also since hotel management change so has the menu offerings & interest in service hospitality. read more

Seaworthy is always worthy of your time in NOLA. I always stop by when I'm in town. It has reliable service, drinks and food that always satisfies. Oysters are always fresh and perfectly shucked and served with a smile. It was near closing and the staff was very accommodating which was appreciated. Can't wait to visit again read more

I love the rustic decor. Seaworthy has a great oyster happy hour and broad raw bar selection. NOLA isn't really known for raw oysters per se, so finding a location that specializes in raw oysters can be tough. Seaworthy checks all the boxes - great selection, good shucking, and knowledgeable staff. If you're lucky enough to dine in during the holidays, explore the seasonal drink menu. read more

Visiting New Orleans for work and dined here for dinner after reading some reviews and viewing the menu. The oyster happy hour is lovely. I was partial to the PEI selection they had over the Gulf, but that's just a personal preference. I ordered the restaurant week pre-fixe menu. The Caprese salad was really flavorful. The tomatoes were super fresh, and there was a nice balance of basil and cheese. The fish and chips were tasty, and the chips had a nice but not overwhelming Cajun seasoning on them. The ice cream sandwich dessert was nothing to write home about. It was too frozen as if it was premade and went straight from freezer to table despite me asking for 5 minutes between entree and dessert because I was full. But it was decent and the toasted coconut added a nice flavor. The martinis were well made and complimented the oysters well. The restaurant was pretty empty when I dined, but it was a Sunday evening. Overall, the restaurant itself was really cute and well appointed. I'm sure if it was a more lively night, it would have had a nice atmosphere. The bartenders were really nice and gave me some restaurant recommendations when I inquired. My waitress was pleasant and attentive. The only thing that bothered me about the service was that I asked for a few minutes between entree and dessert, and my dessert came out pretty quickly. The waitress also brought me my bill while I was still eating my dessert, and I was contemplating having another cocktail. It felt a bit rushed towards the end, so I just paid and left. Overall, I did really enjoy the food and would dine here again. read more

I stumbled into this spot (which is kind of hidden) thanks to the recommendation from a friend. I sat at the bar and had rose, charred oysters and the Cesar salad. The charred oysters were phenomenal. The meal was a good size with the salad. Initially the salad looks enormous, but it's just leafy and paired with the rose and oysters, it just was a good meal. It's pretty dark inside, so do keep that in mind. Sitting at the bar does allow you to chat with the bartenders and servers, which I always enjoy. I was seated near the kitchen and it was just a bit odd. read more

Seaworthy isn't just a restaurant; it's an aesthetic. The vibe is dark, nautical chic with just enough mood lighting to make everyone look 15% hotter. Come for the oysters, stay for the lobster roll, and leave wondering if you can pull off a captain's hat without looking like a tourist.

Wife and I showed up on the 17th with no reservation before the TSO show around 540pm. Told the hostess we had a group of 7 arriving shortly. (Totally would've understood if they couldn't accommodate a group with zero notice). We explained we would be out of there by 630 and they made it work! She was great and got us sat right away. When Armando came over I explained the situation and asked if we could order all of the food and drinks at once while we waited for everyone to show up. We got two lobster rolls, two burgers, and the radicchio salad. It came out right after everyone else showed up. We inhaled the food, it was all delicious. Got him to cash us out just after 630 and we were on our way. Excellent service, wonderful effort to accommodate us. If you're near a louder group it can really echo in there so if you're looking for a quiet place, maybe try another spot. But we loved the vibe and location. Can't wait to go back with a proper reservation and time to really enjoy this spot!! read more

Just a block down from the (was ACE hotel)--stay tuned for the new Barnett hotel review. Seafood restaurant with the best oysters shucked right in front of you. What a selection they have and are very knowledgeable on the subject if you are not! We had the Canadians and they were sooo clean and crisp that we had them a second time! You can get horseradish and sauce for them if you like. All very fresh. My first suggestion is do not pass up the opportunity to try them. I hate to say this but here... they were better than what I had in Boston. I did tell them that! There are food choices for anyone including the non seafood loving but I would definitely go for the seafood. The price options also vary so there really is something for anyone. Good date place. Staff are so attentive, professional or... entertaining. We chose to sit at the oyster bar as we were always walking the city and landed somewhere with our backpacks but certainly there were many there for date night and dressed for it! Beautiful place with beautiful seating even when at the oyster bar. There is outdoor seating as well on the patio. Also very intimate. Ok so now the fun. We went there a couple of times ummm.... maybe 4 because the oysters were so good and chose to try everything we could from the menu. There was not a bad choice. Happy hour is from 4 to 6 and I would highly suggest it. 1/2 price oysters and a special app menu. Drink discounts as well. The staff are so friendly and entertaining. Good humor and really engage you. So...aside from the best oysters in the city, the staff really make the place engaging and enjoyable. I will definitely be back! read more

Oysters are probably good yet if trout with lentils and more lentils with a tiny bit of trout. Has a good environment and vibe but was lacking on the one plate that tried. Hopefully other items are better. The manager stopped by and mentioned their head chef left recently thus they were just trying to make it right now, thus may have impacted operations. Thankful for their honesty though and understanding of the impact. read more

Four of us had dinner last evening. Service was atrocious which was probably why our food was cold. 1 Shrimp & grits came out before our oysters, cold. Then our 2 orders of oysters came out with another entree. We realize it was a busy night but the table next to us received their food the same time as us but were seated 40 min after we arrived! Unacceptable. read more

Had a nice Xmas dinner here with my friends. The service here was very friendly. We ordered a few dozen oysters, the octopus, the lobster, the tuna tartare, Parker house rolls, fries, charbroiled oyster (we love oysters), shrimp cocktail, and many drinks and glasses of wine. The highlights were the oysters (shucked perfectly, absolutely no shell) and the Parker rolls. The shrimp cocktail was good put I believe the shrimp were precooked well in advance. While I liked both the tartare and octopus for the bold flavors that were present (the beats in the tartare had a bbq smoke to them which I liked and the octopus and a lot of sauce with it), some of my friends felt it was too aggressive. All minor issues. Lastly, while getting cocktails did take quite a bit of time to come, they were all very well made cocktails. I would definitely come back here. read more

Happy hour was the best and the espresso martini was perfect. The restaurant had east, west and gulf oysters on the happy hour menu. The restaurant was nice inside the service was good and everyone was very attentive. Didn't get to try anything on the regular menu but I bet it's just as delicious as the happy hour menu. Highly recommend this place will be back to try more. read more

We made a dinner reservation for Monday night. Started with oysters and wine. Ordered the red fish Po'Boy and shrimp and grits. The bread on the Po'Boy compared to the size of fish served was questionable. Very thin layer of grits, shrimp had a good flavor until I reached one that was very soft and smelled of ammonia (how seafood usually smells when sitting for a while) Older bartender must have smoked a cigarette then came back in without a mint/gum, breath wreaked of nicotine. read more

we were looking for a new restaurant and had heard good things about this restaurant so decided to check it out. It's connected to the Ace Hotel and it's a small narrow restaurant. we started off with the parker house rolls and the fish dip. the rolls were good but a bit salty while the dip was good and had plenty of lavash crackers. for main we got the salad - which was not great; the crawfish roll that came with fries - it was supposed to be lobster but that's only in season and the roll would've been better with lobster but the fries were good; fish and chips - good portion size and fries were good but fish could've had a bit more flavor; and finally the fish sandwich which was more like a banh mi - again good portion size and good fries but lacking in flavor. overall the food was good in portion size and some items were better that others but generally there was a lack of flavor. the ambiance was decent, the place was a bit small and narrow and service was decent but a bit overwhelmed read more

This was one of the best happy hours I've had a in while. Absolutely love the vibes here!!! Tucked away, dimly lit but I can still easily read the menu. All the staff members were polite and charming and worked together. Our cocktails were delicious, I love that they feature a classic daiquiri on the happy hour menu. We had 3 dozen raw oysters for the table which were incredible. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT go without ordering their house made rolls. I'm not someone who usually orders bread... but these rolls were off the chain!!! Our sweetheart waitress recommended them and I'm so glad she did. And this special butter that comes with it was divine!!! read more

Thank you, Seaworthy, for being open on December 25! We appreciate all the people in the kitchen and the wait staff who left their families at home and worked on Christmas. Laurence, our waiter, was excellent. We had tuna prosciutto, roasted cauliflower salad, scallops on black, risotto and finished with bread pudding with a roasted banana on top. And a few libations of course. The scallops and risotto were the standout. Thanks again for a fun evening. read more

1. Come for happy hour and GET THE OYSTERS! Three of us demolished five dozen in total, which is the most I think I've ever eaten in a single sitting. But these were massive east coast oysters, over twice the size as the ones we get in California. 2. Happy hour wines are good, but the holy water cocktail is worth paying full price. It is basically a tiki rum cocktail that's lit on fire. They were very strong, so I ordered one then switched to a sparkling wine from the happy hour men read more

- What a fantastic find. A must visit when you're in New Orleans - They have happy hour everyday 4-6pm then late night HH from 10-11 or midnight - Their HH menus are different so check online beforehand - I'm not an alcohol drinker so I loved that they have zero proof cocktails. And they actually put effort into it, not just giving you grapefruit juice and a lemon - I recommend the amaretti sour - Their charbroiled oysters are sublime!! Pricing seems standard compared to other places around town but the flavour is top notch. Definitely worth the price - The front door isn't very obvious so it gives speakeasy vibes - Great for dates and small groups of 3-4 - Service was ok, you get more attention sitting at the bar read more

We had such an amazing experience at Seaworthy. From the moment you enter the building you enter a low lit raw bar & dining area decorated with gorgeous candles. You MUST order the broiled oysters (these were a hit) salty, cheesy & they melt in your mouth. The rolls were a hit as well. Something unique we tried was the coffee cured Cobia, which had a strong scent of coffee and was so tender (raw dish). The team was very hospitable and made sure to give us their best recommendations during our visit. read more

I was in town for a conference and stayed at an Airbnb near by. We were so eager to try Seaworthy as it got great reviews and looked so cute. What a disappointment!!! We went for happy hour on Thursday when we walked in (without a reservation at 4 pm) we were asked if we wanted to go upstairs (we had two bags) so we asked for elsewhere and were put in the "garden" an alley when the restaurant was pretty empty. DJ our server was delightful and the best part of the experience. She was informative and helpful. However, the oysters we ordered were tiny and flavorless. We had each variety and one was less impressive than the next. Not to mention they were 50% off and even during happy hour we still had close to $80 bill for 14 oysters and 2 glasses of wine. We left and went to Luke, at the Hilton Hotel we ordered a dozen of the local oysters and drinks and the bill was not even $50 and the oysters were delicious! read more

I love raw oysters and the raw bar at Seaworthy never disappoints. The shuckers are friendly and funny and you will definitely have a great time. I hadn't been to a full on dinner here in a while so I decided to treat myself and I'm 100% glad I did. read more

We stopped in for dinner without reservations on a Sunday and were able to get seated at the bar right away. We started off with a dozen oysters that were great! They had options of gulf, east, and west coast oysters. Additionally, we got some small plates to share including the Red Snapper Ceviche, Pork Belly, Brussels Sprouts, and Charbroiled Corn. The Snapper was fresh but not the ceviche with lime juice that I was expecting. The pork belly was a very generous serving! Outside of the Chinese grocery store, I have never seen such a large serving. It was salty and fatty and reminded me of childhood meals. The charbroiled corn was yummy and the togarashi toppings added umami. There was a large amount of kewpie mayo that was too much for my preference. The Brussels sprouts were roasted perfectly. Overall, this is a good option for a variety of seafood and oysters close to the Ace Hotel. The drink selection is also abundant. read more

Went there last night to try the charbroiled oysters and had a great experience. The patio was was lovely (and a bonus that the chairs weren't metal!). Our waitress was absolutely lovely--and had good recommendations. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits as my main and it was stellar. My wife ordered the Lobster Roll (served with fries and smoked ketchup) and had the Moped to drink and loved both. Will be back the next time we're in NOLA! read more

Cute and cozy little wine bar with great food!!! Came here two nights during the week I was in NOLA. Tried the fresh oysters, charbroiled oysters, crab salad, and lobster roll.
