Gautreau's Restaurant

Amazing food. Went here for a special milestone birthday. It’s probably always full and so it’s “lively”. Don’t expect a quiet conversation. Get the satsuma dreamsicle baked Alaska and skip the banana split.

We were in New Orleans for a week and this was the BEST meal we had on vacation. The Chef’s specials were so tempting, we wanted to order them all. The menu had so many options as well. It does get busy so I would recommend an earlier reservation versus a late one. Also, take an Uber, parking in the local neighborhood can be challenging. This is a must visit place!! When we go back, this will be the first place we eat.

Had not dined at G’s for 2 yrs. Had found food delicious, until last night. The duck and fish dishes were tasteless, the pate was served w/o crackers or toast. The overall presentation was pretentious. Regrettably I shall not return.

Quaint restaurant tucked in a residential area. Service was great and food was good but not as good as I had hoped/expected. Scallops had too much sauce. Confit was tender and delicious. Steak was good but a little bland. Foie gras was not as rich as expected and served with beignets which was a little odd.

So disappointed, maybe my expectations were too high but just not good. The crab appetizer was so bland, just no flavor, my entree was duck and if you like duck jerky it would be fine. I sent back my entree and ordered the fish special. After 15 minutes I clocked out. Hard pass for me. Oh $185 check to boot. Check out Irene’s it’s what I passed on for this mess.
