    This will be a lengthy review. Its been a long time since we've been here. Nothing really major ,…read moremade us not come back. Its just one of those things. We met a good friend of ours here for lunch. His wife and US, would regularly go n out to eat with each other. It was a normal routine. His wife passed away suddenly about 8 months ago and he hasnt gone anywhere that whole time. She was my best friend. It was a pleasant surprise, when he agreed to have lunch with us. We decided to go to Zea's on W. ESPLANADE. It was obvious they were busy as most of the lot was full. The first thing we noticed was the new interior renovations. It was definitely brighter and open since the last time we were here. We finally got sat at a table, wasnt a long wait. Our server, (young lady named Taylor) was our server. She was very friendly, inviting personality and made you feel welcomed. We started off with drinks and the Hummus appetizer. Never seen a big appetizer like this, it was perfect for 3 even 4 ppl and very good. It was served with warm pita slices. I remember they served cucumber slices upon request, not sure if they still do that. The lunch entrees were Almond chicken salad for my wife. Our friend ordered the Thai rib plate and I had the Crispy duck. As far as I know, my food was excellent, the duck was well cooked and moist. The Thai ribs are usually always good, no doubt that has changed, I stole one of my friends ribs. It went to good use. My wife said the main salad was good, but she feels the chicken itself lacked flavor, but since this is my review, only my opinion matters, lol. The Thai ribs were very good. I love the corn grits and the zea potatoes. For me, I feel this was my best meal I've had all year so far. Would I come back? Heck yeah. You buying? I overall, love the change. The new menu and decor is a hit for me.

    Had a Gift Certificate so tried this for the first time. We really weren't impressed. However, our…read moreserver was amazing and we couldn't have had a better one. However, the food was sub par for the price. The hummus and pita Appetizer was delicious and we all thoroughly enjoyed. We had the Honey Island Chicken which was good but not $17 good. It came with basic, undercooked and unsalted fries. The daughter had the Philly Steak Panini which didn't look appealing and she said it was overly full of mayo which is mixed in with the meat. Our granddaughter had the Balsamic Salmon which looked so pretty and was delicious but it was almost $30 and came with 2 basic sides. The hamburgers were cooked well but still only came with a basic side and the fries were awful. The atmosphere was okay but a bit dark. Thankful we had the gift certificate because we all decided this was a one and done!

    This kills me to write anything negative about my favorite restaurant but unfortunately they have a…read moreBad apple in the bunch. His name isDRAKE This review is Definitely Not about the Food or the ambiance Both ranks very high in my book. I've been a faithful customer to this establishment as long as i've lived in New Orleans sometimes every day for lunch . We've moved to another state but trust me every-time I'm here i visit at least 5 x without hesitation for my Zea Ribs. Which brings me to my last visit on Friday evening Aug. 6th just after a long month spent in new orleans on business and again several visits to my Favorite Zea. My husband and myself decided to take in our last meal before heading back home we sat at the bar The bartender Drake was serving our party my husband and friend couldn't remember the name of the particular drink they'd had previously prepared by our regular bartender Jessica . I thought it was a pretty simple look at the last order on our tab to figure out what they were drinking.,,,,,,, They were trying to remember but Drake was becoming annoyed and angry by the minute finally he completely walked away and dismissed us totally. I was Flabbergasted ! He never came back or acknowledged our presence at the bar that's when i requested to speak with a manager whom accommodated us and spoke with us to rectify the situation but even as she was speaking with him we noticed how rude and abrupt his attitude was. Personally he should have been removed off the floor it cost nothing for kindness and to be courteous to all customers. Unfortunately Drake seems to need further training in customer service. For the future when i return to Zea if I see him at the bar I will definitely take my business where it will be appreciated. I will Not patronize where the staff has zero respect for the customer.

    Okay, this may be one of the more difficult reviews for me to write. Why? Because Blue Tomato…read moreconfuses me as much as it delights me! How do you categorize a restaurant that offers a full menu of Mexican food, a full menu of Italian food, a full menu of local fare and American classics, AND why not throw a little Asian food in as well. Now, do all of it VERY WELL, and you have quite the conundrum when you sit down to eat. "What am I in the mood for?" Luckily, you can mix and match to your heart's desire. Garbage nachos and Thai ribs? Sure! Chicken alfredo with a couple of tamales? No prob. A good steak with a Cuban quesadilla? Why not? The possibilities are endless. Now, mix in some killer drinks, and we're talking about somewhere you'll want to bring all your friends who can't decide what they want. It's all there for them, and if they can't find something at Blue Tomato, you might want to reconsider your friends. The service staff at BT is wonderful and homey. I always feel like a local when I eat there. It's comfortable and quaint whether you're eating seared tuna with a margarita or a batch of wings with a Mic Ultra. Lunch is actually my favorite time to visit. Quick service and reasonable prices make this a lunch destination. You might need to ensure you have a refrigerator at work though...the serving portions are generous. So, what are you waiting for? Is it lunchtime yet?

    This is a "higher class" dive of a diner with a eclectic menu that jumps into multiple ethnic food…read moregenres with a selection of Italian then some Mexican along with some classic American and a nice dash of New Orleans dishes thrown in for good measure. The menu certainly goes all over the map with its dishes and that seems to leave some less than excellent execution but generally they pull off "ok" to "very good" food. The service here always seems to be very good and the ambiance is a unique mix that gives it a fun vibe. The burger and lasagna are decent and the Italian and Mexican style food can often be quite nice. The New Orleans food is typically good and they usually have rotating daily specials. Overall this is great spot when you have a group of people that all want something different. Warren Zevon would really enjoy this place!
