The service is slow, the maqnagement pathetic, and the food is just slightly better than average... The only standout was the grilled shrimp, which were very good, but hardly worth the wait (about 45 minutes after 10 PM just to be seated). This restaurant suffers from poor management. Tables are not cleaned until 15 minutes after the patron leaves. At one point, we had five unoccupied tables in our area for about ten minutes, while customers waited in the foyer for the better part of an hour. There is little excuse for this sort of service in such a prime location. I suggest you dine early... elsewhere...

This is some of the finest Italian cuisine to be found in Metairie at any price. I have eaten there on a number of occasions, and have only been slightly disappointed once. That problem stemmed from the waitstaff being slightly overworked by the large crowd. Our waiter seemed a bit confused... and frustrated. Fortunately, this is not the norm. Excellent cuisine... Be sure to try the cheesecake for desert... It really does establish a benchmark...

Although I have eaten at Caretta's in Hammond and considered it very good, this restaurant is a definite improvement. It is, by no means, the typical mundane Mexican restaurant fare, ovrwrought with refried beans and dried rice. The wait staff is both prompt and attentive, and the food excellent. I would highly recommend the grilled steak and shrimp kabobs. The flavor is excellent and the portions are considerable. Bring a hearty appetite and enjoy...

The food is superb, and the service is excellent. Although there are other good sushi restaurants in the New Orleans area, this is undoubtedly the best. For the most bang for your buck, catch their lunch specials. You will not be disappointed.

Wow! Just when I had lost all interest in Chinese cuisine, along comes Chang's. Buffets... Go Away! This should be a wake up call for those "cookie cutter buffet" Chinese restaurants. This IS NOT like the rest... It is simply the BEST. We were properly served, well fed, never bored, and for a reasonable price. You can ask for no more.

Hidden at the end of a strip mall behind McDonalds is this outstanding little restaurant. The food is impeccably seasoned and the service is friendly, yet excellent. The Prosciutto-Wrapped Shrimp is a real treat, as is the Pan Sautéed Pork Chop (12 ounces!). Beef lovers will delight with the Tournedos Lisboa (a uniquely finished 8 ounce filet). Just to wet your appetite, stop by Tuesday through Friday for one of the best daily lunch specials around. Wednesday's pork roast is seasoned to perfection as is the rolled steak on Thursday, both are served with a fresh salad and hot bread, and the luncheon specials are under $6. Try it for lunch and you'll undoubtedly return for dinner. Although, with the portions served, you may need to wait a day!

This is truly one of the best Mexican restaurants to which I have ever been. It is not the fanciest, but the food and service are excellent.

This is a great place for lunch when in the Convent area with most sandwiches and luncheon specials under $5. The food is extremely good and the employees are great. For a light, but filling, lunch, try a super chef salad. You will not be disappointed.

This is the type of restaurant which has molded the New Orleans culinary image into what it is today. It is one of the few "seafood" restaurants to offer oysters on the half-shell, boiled seafood (depending on the season), and fried softshell crab in addition to the normal yawn of fried entrees (shrimp, oysters, and catfish). The seafood is fresh and seasoned "just right". The boiled crawfish are large and tasty, rather than "hot and salty" and the service is excellent. Fridays appear quite busy, but the family (all of whom work in the restaurant) rush about efficiently to keep things moving. Best of all, customers feel as if they're "dining with family", the New Orleans way!

Very good food at a very good price. As far as family dining is concerned, this is probably one of the better national chain restaurants around. The recipes are consistant and the quality above average. Personnel training is well planned. This is an overall pleasant experience.

Extremely good food at a reasonable price. Do come with a healthy appetite as this is one place that will not leave you hungry. The service is excellent and the drinks are outstanding. The food here is quite an improvement over the typical Mexican restaurant fare.

Good food and drink, and good atmosphere. The waitstaff is always pleasant in this quaint, quiet little restaurant. A good place to just kick back and enjoy the food.

Good food...cheap. If you're a true steak eater, this is not the place. Everything is okay and cheap.

This is a "must stop" for oyster lovers. The lobsters are outstanding, but for true oyster lovers, this is pure heaven. Try them raw as an appetizer, then keep the grilled oysters coming...Awesome!

Without a doubt, this is the premier New Orleans restaurant. Excellent service with food unmatched by any other restaurant in the world. The type of Creole Cuisine for which New Orleans is renowned.

Excellent for lunch, but not too fancy for supper. Great po-boys, muffelatta's (especially seafood) and easy on the wallet.

Excellent service and only the finest steaks...but you do pay for what you get here. Not a weekly family stop or a means to an end destination...This is the end destination! Take the time to savor the meal.

If you are a true South Louisiana seafood lover, this must one of your favorite restaurants in the New Orleans area. Without any hesitation, I consider this place the finest in boiled seafood in New Orleans. The place is small, and the waitis long, but bring a healthy appetite and you will not be sorry.

If you are a true South Louisiana seafood lover, especially of boiled seafood, this is one restaurant in the New Orleans area you must try. The place is small, and the wait is long, but bring a healthy appetite and you will not be disappointed.

Nice lunch selection, but restaurant is superb at night. Pasta dishes are more than ample for even the heartiest appetite. Oyster lovers must try the Italian baked oysters, as the are superb. I would suggest starting with the crab and eggplant appetizer and the Salad Alyse. This salad is truly a unique taste treat. The wine list is excellent while the wait staff is efficient without being stuffy. All combine to create an extremely pleasant dining experience.
