We absolutely enjoyed everything about the restaurant! We tried the blue crab claws and had the redfish entree and they were beyond delicious. We finished dinner with the key lime pie.

Great steaks dinner at Chophouse New Orleans tonight. The crab bisque was to die for. Their Chophouse salad was ok. Our 8 oz. filet mignon and 10 oz. NY strip steaks were cooked perfectly to our orders for them to be cooked to Medium. We actually prefer Medium Rare but our waiter told us they tend to cook on the rare side and our experiences having steaks at restaurants the past few years has been that most are tending to cook Medium Rare to what my wife and I consider to be Rare. Their side dish of mushrooms was delectable. The Key Lime pie for dessert was good. It’s whipped cream on top was very thick and very cold. Decent wine list. I had a glass of Groth Cabernet Sauvignon. And a shot of Angel’s Envy on a rock (the ice cube was about 1.5” x 1.5” x 4”, a mini iceberg😁) before we ordered our dinners. At $18. that’s the cheapest shot of Angel’s Envy I’ve ever had anywhere. Our only nits were: 1) We told our waiter at the end the butter for the loaf of bread was hard as a brick. 2) The bread was like a short baguette, not pre-sliced. My wife asked the server for a knife to cut it and they merely pointed to the butter knife on her bread plate. That was totally inadequate to the task of slicing a loaf of fresh soft bread. Plus, being SF Bay Area natives, we are used to the tang of sourdough bread and a lot of restaurants’ plain breads, while they may be soft, freshly baked and warm, just taste blah to us.

I had a great experience here! The service was on point and very impressive. This is a great spot to take the family or even a date night. The food came out quick and was hot and delicious. Truly a New Orleans Gem.

The very large black woman who greeted us was unprofessionally and inappropriately dressed for the position she held. Then she had to have help finding our reservation that we made 3 days before. Our waitress, Ellen, was pleasant at first, but got an attitude when I asked for bread. Another wait staff stepped in to answer my question, and Ellen bristled at that. Speckled trout is my favorite fish, and I've had it many times and also cooked it myself, but the trout last night was mediocre at best, and the presentation was poor. The meal was very expensive, $245.00.

Brunch & Bloody Mary’s were excellent. Service by Mason was exceptional. Mason lined up an impromptu tour of the distillery with the distiller. She was very passionate about her craft & was very informative about the processes. The overall experience was wonderful. Thank you!
