As far as I'm concerned, this is the best restaurant in NOLA. It is inside a hotel and right across the street from Luke, which we also tried (and wasn't as good). The service was impeccable, our waiter was Bryan. We both had glasses of the house red wine which was excellent. We had the boudin bites for appetizer - phenomenal. I had the Short Rib with Pappardelle and my husband had the crawfish etouffee pot pie. Both were incredible. We skipped dessert because we were too full. I had mentioned it was my husband's 50th birthday in the reservation and it would've been nice if they at least acknowledged it, but they didn't. Overall, we would 100% return to this place again and again. read more

A friend and I decided to go for drinks before we went to Luke for dinner. Trey is on Saint Charles across from Luke and is attached to the intercontinental hotel. It has a separate entrance and a primarily separate field from being in a hotel bar. We sat at the bar and order the following drinks: PIRATE PUNCH Light, dark & coconut rum, pineapple, cranberry, ginger ale FRENCH 75 Bristow Gin, champagne, lemon Both drinks were well made and the ambiance was pleasant. read more

The food was 10 out of 10! I think we ordered virtually everything on the brunch menu. Get the shrimp, get the French toast! From the front desk to the table the service was "Meh"! I think some of the staff really needs to learn how to fake it till they make it. Our waiter gave us a hard time because he had to "split checks". Give me a break. This is about the easiest part of your job and you should have kept that straight from the beginning. Organization and communication is imperative. Again, the food is amazing but it just didn't match the below average service. read more

This restaurant is located within the InterContinental Hotel. As a native New Orleanian, this was my first experience here. Although I had an appetizer, it was good. I mean I do find that some restaurants skimp in the crab in the Bisque and this did. It was definitely missing something. The fried green tomatoes was great. This is definitely a walking place. You're wither hanging in the area already or actually staying at the hotel. We were there during Mardi Gras and it was fairly empty during lunchtime. read more

Yass!! Nola, the Half Shells were so fresh, I know they caught them today right out of the sea, straight to my platter! Love them- they missed not having a Mignonette French sauce, the homemade skins and bacon butter were fire, and keto. Loved it all!! The VODKA JUBILEE - St Roch cucumber vodka, mint, blueberries, and cucumber was a refreshingly strong, great pour. Definitely a yes- 8.5/10 due to no mignonette sauce! Pull y'all self together and add that sauce!! The atmosphere was lively. Lastly, my waiter just stole his tip. I gave him $20 in cash for a $16 drink, gave my card for the food, and he kept my change! He was a great server, very attentive, and I planned to tip him well, but he took 40 %!! read more

Service: We came to Trenasse for dinner since we were staying nearby. It definitely has a more upscale feel, making it a nice option for date night. We were seated and attended to without issue, and service throughout the meal was smooth. Taste: The menu is simple but offers solid options. I opted for the mussels, which were delicious and the highlight of the meal. We also had the boudin bites and the pork chop, which were just okay. The rice and beans leaned a little too salty for my taste. Ambiance: The restaurant has a polished, upscale atmosphere that works well for a nicer evening out. It feels elevated compared to more casual spots, but still comfortable. Overall Review: Trenasse was a decent experience, though not my favorite stop on the trip. The mussels stood out, but some dishes fell short. I'd be open to trying it again, maybe during happy hour to see if that experience hits differently. read more

First off, $14 for a dozen oysters is insane. Medium and juicy Golf oysters. Really good grilled as well and they have a bunch of different styles. Do not sleep on the Boudin balls. Excellent friendly service. We were staying at the hotel and were lucky to have this place in the lobby read more

Everything from here was top-notch, amazing food, great customer service, and the Decker in ambience was simply perfect! Food: where do I start, all the food was amazing from all of our appetizers to the main course everything hit. The oysters were very tasty and I don't even really like oysters. The Boudin balls are some of the best I've ever had. The stuffed wings were very unique and special, full of flavor, and every bite was the best. The main course, red beads, and rice with fried pork chop. So good, I was so fool by then I could barely even eat. Came with some cornbread on top and it was the best. I'm telling you the food here is really good. Also, the gumbo was the best I had during this time in New Orleans, I come here all the time, and this was some of the best gumbo. The customer service was just as good. I can't remember his name, but our waiter was very nice. He was an older gentleman very personable , very friendly. He gave us some great recommendations. The restaurant is decorated perfectly, I like the low light setting makes for a nice intimate dinner. I'll definitely come back. That's what I love about neurology. You could literally walk down any street and just walk into a random restaurant and get some of the best food in the nation. read more

A friend told me about Trenasse (attached to Intercontinental hotel). Came here because of buddy told me about the happy hour from 3 to 6 PM. They came here mainly for the oysters and smashed several dozen of them. I came and decided to try the fried brie Smashburger, stuffed chicken, wings, and the barbecue shrimp. The fried brie Smashburger was delicious, but I cut the brie in half and smeared it within the sandwich. The slice of Brie that they give you in my opinion is way too much, I couldn't eat all that brie. Once I did good with that burger, it was time to kill it. It was delicious and the french fries were nice and crispy. The burger and fries 8/10. And stuffed chicken wings were a twist and chicken wings with chicken sausage. It was chicken, jalapeño sausage, hot honey, and some ranch dressing at the bottom. It's pretty good, but I couldn't eat a whole bunch of it, as the flavor was pretty intense, but overall 7/10. Lastly, was the barbecue shrimp. The shrimp came head on tail on and had a good flavor. This is a New Orleans, so you get tons of shrimp everywhere and even some much much more flavorful and pizzazzy, but overall, the shrimp were delicious and the barbecue sauce was a twist on barbecue sauce. Shrimp 7/10. Paid a total of $40 for everything so no complaints here. read more

We decided to eat here because it was an easy walk from our hotel(Hampton Inn & Suites New Orleans Downtown) and because it had the lowest priced oysters on the half shell at Happy Hour(3PM-6PM). We arrived at 3:15PM (Ha-Ha) and I had 1/2 doz Oysters for $7. I had the Bisque as my main and my partner had chicken wings. Please find a reason to order the hot Garlic Bread, oh so very good. My Bisque was smooth and delicious and the bread was the perfect accompaniment. This meal would have been on the low price side w/o the bottle of wine I ordered. This being NO, I could take the rest of the bottle with me, as our server suggested. Since we were on the early side for dinner, there was no wait and we didn't have a reservation, plus service was fast. It's a very nice space for a slowed down meal. read more

Excellent quality, fantastic service, and delicious food and drink! Is this a hotel restaurant? It doesn't really matter because this spot is really, really good. I've really taken to the CBD for work stays and I stopped in here for lunch. Enjoyed the upscale poboy filled with high quality shrimp, hold the oysters. The staff did not even flinch with my special request. Pros! The Blackberry Bramble cocktail was so good, I came back twice with friends in tow. read more

We had dinner at Trenasse in NOLA. It was a great experience! We ordered the Sezerac and Orange blossom cocktails. Both were delicious. We had the BBQ shrimp and raw oysters for appetizers. Delicious as well. For entrees, we ordered the crawfish pie and BBQShrimp and grits. Very yummy! The only complaint would be, we were so full but we could not stop eating!! Our server was very courteous and friendly. Another plus! The restaurant was nicely decorated and the lighting was perfect. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Came here for a birthday brunch on a non-Saints game Sunday. We had a group of about 18 so we were seated at 2 separate tables..not ideal. Very nice decor and I liked the vibe of the restaurant. It wasn't very busy but our food took an Eternity to come out. I had the crabcakes benedict..egg was fried perfectly but crabcakes were dry and kinda flat. My cousin had the fried fish with grits..it was fantastic! The menu had good variety so everyone was able to find something they wanted. Their menu prices are for cash so make sure to bring cash with you. If not there is an atm available. read more

Trenasse - Wine Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This was pretty good for a hotel restaurant! It's inside the Intercontinental Hotel (which I don't recommend), and can get pretty busy, especially on a cold night where venturing out wasn't an option. The BBQ Shrimp Appetizer was on point. I was getting this at multiple restaurants on my last trip and this one was one of the better ones. The bread it came with was also great! The Crawfish Pie was also pretty good. It was kinda gross how it was presented, but it was tasty for sure. The Entree Size Fowl Gumbo wasn't the best. It was kind of watery (not very viscous) and the flavor wasn't as deep as some places. The Streetcar Cafe (or something like that) next door had amazing Gumbo though. I wasn't a fan of this version. I think they tried to elevate it a bit and fall short. I wouldn't venture out of my way to go here, but if I was staying and it was close, I'd go back for some BBQ shrimp as a snack! read more

Tried Trenasse after a long day at a conference in the hotel and started with the BBQ shrimp appetizer and it was so good. The flavor was on point! I'm not usually a fan of shrimp with the head on, but honestly, the taste more than made up for it. I liked it so much I went back the next night and ordered them again. That says it all. Definitely recommend if you're in New Orleans and want something flavorful and worth the mess. Also tried the beignets and they were good but nothing special... read more

During my visit to New Orleans, I was on the hunt for some incredible food, and I am so glad I stumbled upon this place. The BBQ shrimp appetizer was, without a doubt, one of the best dishes I've ever had at a restaurant. The shrimp was perfectly seasoned and cooked, and the garlic bread that accompanied it was simply outstanding. Even after returning home from my trip, I still find myself thinking about that dish. The blue crab bisque was delicious as well (8.5/10), though I'd suggest not going for the entree size unless you're very hungry. The portion is huge, and it might be difficult to finish, especially if you're not starving. The garlic bread, as mentioned earlier, was excellent. I also tried the Soup and Half Po'Boy combo, which is a great deal. While the gumbo that came with it was fantastic (9/10), the Po'Boy didn't quite do it for me. It wasn't anything special, and I would rate it a 5/10. Overall, this spot was a great experience. If I ever make my way back to New Orleans, I'd definitely be excited to try more of their dishes. Also this place is located inside a hotel so if you ever visit you can enter through the hotel if you want. read more

I was invited here for brunch; I wasn't impressed by the food, but the service was good. Our glasses were never empty.I think the server overhyped the food, so I ended up underwhelmed. The presentation of the oysters was unimpressive and inconsistent. The oysters were also super small. I did not enjoy the gumbo because of the tomatoes and the seasoning. A big no for me. I liked the dessert more than anything. The price was reasonable, but they charge a service fee for not using cash. It was also very loud despite there being only one other party the entire time we were there. read more

Took pix of empty plates to remember what we ordered. We got a variety of items to share. Frog legs Fried green tomatoes Taste of Trenasse Garlic bread Oyster Rockefeller Blue crab bisque The scallops and pork belly dish Everything was good. I would not say out of this world but they had enough items that we felt the need to try several. The trout in the Taste of Trenasse was salty so glad we didn't get that isolated as a main. The crawfish pie was also good but wish the crust was more flakey. The shrimp and grits was very good. I enjoyed the grits which was nice and creamy. You can skip garlic bread. The butter was good but bread was not that great itself. My 2nd time trying frog legs..it was nice to get re-acquainted but it was just ok. Felt some grit in oysters and scallops but otherwise. Very delicious plate of gooey pistachio dessert that wasn't captured photo wise. We also tried 2 of their alcohol coffees which were also good. read more

A $24 poboy. I'm from here. The printed menu prices are small print cash only. So that's how an $18 poboy (already WTF, but my job was buying) turns into $24 when they bring you the bill. The service was friendly but disorganized, half the table waited 20 minutes for our entrees while we watched the others eat. If you want to overspend and get served correctly, go to Luke across the street. read more

Tonight while staying in the INTERCONTINENTAL HOTEL. I came back from dinner decided to have a night cap in the lobby bar. I ordered a drink was told I need a card to start a tab ok no problem I told the server who's name I didn't get I was going to cash out at the end of the night.She takes card swipes it and hands me the bill bar is full of people . Every one is ordering drinks noone is being handed a bill after every order. I say to the server why did you charge my card and give me a bill if I was starting a tab...Blank deer in the headlights stare. The other server steve tried to explain to me that's how they do things now I have the blank deer in the headlights stare . No worries no problem as I walk away he makes a comment " some people just like to complain". SOME PEOPLE being that we are the only people of color in the bar! I guess some people is code for black people. read more

We came here for a birthday celebration and had a big party. The room they put us in was isolated, which wasn't bad, but it felt a little awkward in location. Our server was sweet and took care of us well so no complaints there. We wanted to come here mostly for the oyster selection they had. Started out with a dozen raw oysters. We loved them so much, we ordered another dozen at the end of the dinner. We ordered the oyster log for the table and while it was pricey, it was a great way to try all their charbroiled oysters. The garlic butter, gratin, and crab Bienville were my favorites but you can't go wrong with any of them. The oyster log also comes with fried oysters, which was a let down for me. They were cold and didn't have much of a taste. The scallops were tasty and I loved the desserts we had with the bread pudding and pistachio cake. The entrees were nice but not as exciting as the oysters for me. I'd come back for those oysters by itself! read more

Located inside the InterContinental Hotel, this spot was our first stop after arriving in New Orleans--and it didn't disappoint! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality. The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive, which set a great tone for the evening. Since we were eager to dive into local flavors, we asked our server for recommendations--and every dish delivered. The charbroiled oysters are a must-try: smoky, buttery, and packed with flavor. We also really enjoyed the BBQ shrimp, which came in a rich, flavorful sauce perfect for sopping up with bread. Great service, solid local dishes, and a welcoming vibe made this a memorable start to our trip. read more

Came during a weekday happy hour while visiting New Orleans and it did not disappoint. I tried the oysters, the gumbo, and had a beer. The raw oysters were so good. I'm not a gumbo expert, but I really enjoyed their take: thick, flavorful broth and plenty of meat. Service was also friendly and prompt. The environment was quiet, casual, but stylish. I would absolutely recommend this place if you're in town for it's nice atmosphere, excellent service, and very good food. read more

My recommendation is to sit at the oyster bar and watch Terrance make magic. The grilled oysters are phenomenal. ACME has nothing on Terrance. This place was recommended by a friend that lives in the area and he said it's a local's favorite! Crazy. It's a hotel restaurant. But they are knocking it out of the park.

Highly recommend based on that alone. read more

Been here a few times now...so it's time for a review! I love the ease of making a reservation with Trenasse because they use Opentable. I have been here as a couple and in a group as large as 8 people. Every time I have come, I've had a great experience. The service is always exceptional. On my most recent visit, our server was super helpful when it came to helping our friends from out of town make the best choice for a meal and she also gave us advice on places to check out in the area. On my last visit, I went with the fish of the day, which was the puppy drum. It was blackened and tasted so good. I loved the potatoes and arugula that came as the sides. The meal was delicious. My significant other got the steak and I tried that as well and it was cooked to perfection. Trenasse is a great spot with a quiet and classy atmosphere. I highly recommend it! read more

Trenasse - Crawfish Pie - Wine Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This restaurant is located in the Intercontinental Hotel and it wasn't crowded on the evening I stopped by. It's a dimly lit restaurant good place for a date night. My waitress was welcoming and informed me of the specials of the night as well as her favorites. I opted for half dozen oysters cooked in champagne the Crawfish Pie and the Blue Crab Bisque. Instead of bread for the table they bring skins with a dip. The skins were tasty and light, I see why they serve these. The oysters were still sizzling when they arrived. My crawfish pie was very rich and good. I didn't eat the grits that were on the side. Now, let's get down to the Blue Crab Bisque. I was most looking forward to this. It was thin, it had good flavor but I wish it had more body. It wasn't bad but I was underwhelmed. I was expecting more. read more

Their restaurant selection is Louisiana based with plenty of seafood options (oyster bar, main dishes) and were told they have happy hour from 3-6.
