What People Are Saying About New Orleans Restaurant

In Short – Known for jazz, blues and chicken gumbo, the cavernous, brick-walled restaurant and bar is welcoming to all. The stage is in the middle of the dining room, putting music front and center. Louisiana cooking offers heaps of interesting fare, and it appears that the New Orleans tries to serve it all from the extensive menu. Tthe kitchen turns out New Orleans' standards such as creoles, jambalayas and etouffees. – – Photo by Chris Daniel

bad service, no go

by T Allen

Wow. To pay to be treated this way? Not even a slacker non-child- supporting -stole-my-savings-to-support-a-bimbo-girlfriend ex-husband should be treated the way. Never have I asked for water after waiting for nearly 10 minutes to even get a menu, get a nasty look, and when she returned, she slammed the pitcher and nearly cracked the glasses as she pounded them down on our table. Why? We had the audacity to ask for water.

She then stalked off without taking our order as though we had insulted her by asking for service. Imagine our gaul. What kind of royalty were we anyway to ask to be served IN A RESTAURANT! Had it been crazy busy, I could have understood harried slow service--but it was no different than any other restaurant at dinner time. Was is a shock to her to have people there at dinner time? Dinner time--you know when people PAY to be fed!

Too bad, years ago this was a good place to go, but we left and we will never feel masochistic enough to go back again.

  • Pros: hmmmm, years ago maybe....
  • Cons: Bitchwitch sadist waitress

Not always great

by 623

I have to say I almost hate to say what I'm about to say since I had a great time here when I first went about a year ago. Unfortunately, the place has gone down since. I returned a few weeks ago with a bunch of out-of-town friends wanting to show them a great time, and it was disappointing. The music wasn't great, maybe it wasn't my kind of jazz that night, but for the $8 cover, I was expecting a bit more. Service was also very slow, even though when we first arrived there weren't a lot of people there. I'm not sure if management has recently changed or what has happened, but what used to be one of my favorite places is now on my "avoid if at all possible" list. Quite disappointing.

  • Pros: Atmosphere (when the band is good), people watching
  • Cons: Slow service, staff not very friendly, quality of music varies (widely!)

Go on Mondays

by joen

I go there for the music. I'm from the East, but whenever I'm in Seattle, I go to the New Orleans on Monday evening. The Quintet (sometimes a Sextet) is old-style blues and jazz at its best. The guys have a CD that I've almost worn out. They're so comfortable there that you feel like they're playing in your living room. The drinks are good, and I don't remember much about the food. I go there for the music.

  • Pros: toe-tapping music, Reasonably priced, Buy the CD!
