Bourbon House

We made a reservation as soon as we checked into our hotel and headed straight to Bourbon House for dinner. The restaurant is located on a lively stretch of Bourbon Street, and the atmosphere hits you immediately — vibrant crowds and incredible live jazz spilling into the street. It felt like the perfect New Orleans welcome. We were seated right away, and the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. To start, we ordered the char-broiled oysters — rich, buttery, and packed with flavor. For the main course, we had shrimp and grits and the fried shrimp platter. Both dishes were perfectly cooked and full of classic Louisiana flavor. We finished with crème brûlée, which was smooth, creamy, and the perfect sweet ending.

This gem is attached to the Astor Hotel. They absolutely did not disappoint! We ordered a couple of ipa’s to start along with the seafood gumbo, then for entrees we had the pork belly and the alligator and crawfish rigatoni.

The pasta was perfectly cooked, pork belly had the right amount of crush, and the spice infused gumbo slapped stupid hard! Our server Angel was new but was super sweet and had a wonderful team behind him in Giovanni and Suzy! We were overall well taken care of and absolutely enjoyed every bite! We will be back and certainly plan on sending our fellow foodies their way! Good show yall, we appreciated your hospitality!
