We sat at the bar with Ant and had a great time. He was fun, engaging, and gave excellent menu recommendations — all while working the grill and charbroiling oysters at the same time. It was impressive to watch! The charbroiled oysters were absolutely to die for — perfectly cooked with that incredible smoky flavor. The fresh oysters on the half shell were shucked right on the spot by Ant and tasted amazing. The crab cakes were good but felt like they were missing just a little something — finishing them on the charbroiled grill might take them to the next level. Excellent drinks, fun atmosphere, and an amazing staff overall. We’ll definitely be back on our next visit to New Orleans!

Oysters are worth going for. Had Chargrilled Oysters. It was so so delicious! Will go again just for the oysters Not a fan of gator bites. Tried for the first time. It’s bit chewy compared to chicken. We reached around 10:30 PM and still had a waiting for 25 minutes on a Saturday night.

Absolutely loved this place!!! Their food is amazing. A huge menu to select from - both food and drinks. Ample seating, mixed vibe- busy and noisy Midwest steakhouse feel downstairs, quiet and relaxed brunch mood upstairs. We tried their Taste of New Orleans - sampler sized entree - all the items were yummy and flavorful. Next, their Canal street redfish - it was stellar, one of the best fish items I have had - so delicious, so flavorful, perfect in all senses. Service was super, her recommendations were apt. Highly recommended place to try good New Orleans cuisine.

We visited Creole House during peak season, at dinner time, on Lundi Gras. We were so impressed with the entire staff at Creole House, in both the front and back of the restaurant. We were sat immediately. Our server Marlana was exceptional! I also admired how quickly the kitchen was sending food out, while maintaining a professional and appetizing level of plate presentation. Everything was delicious. DEFINITELY DO NOT SKIP DESSERT!! The Strawberry Shortcake was THE BEST we have EVER had! The bread pudding I rank in the top three in New Orleans. Just an all around wonderful experience on one of the busiest nights of the year.

We ate lunch at the Creole House across the street from the Sheraton and the Sazerac Distillery. It was still crowded at 1:00. My husband ordered the cheeseburger and fries, which he said were very good. I ordered the blackened chicken ceasar salad. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the homemade croutons were exceptional, and tender and the dressing was delicious. Service was sporadic.

Breakfast food is good but nothing special. Service is a little slow. Coffee tastes like French roast. The cajun potatoes is just frozen potatoes. Go across the street to cafe Beignet for a better breakfast, fresh cajun potatoes and they have a live band all the time.

I had chargrilled oysters for the first time and I absolutely loved them. Full of flavor & super tender. Not only did Lee do a phenomenal job shucking & grilling oysters, he was taking food & drink orders all the while being pleasant & efficient. He made my dining an enjoyable experience. I will definitely be back on my next visit.
