    I’ve was in NOLA in October and had my first experience at Briquette. Came again and had to return for the Creole Gumbo! It’s excellent. Also had the shrimp pasta and loved it. The ambience is perfect. Sydney was fantastic and made the evening special!

    Start of the evening was a bit shaky, as we sat for 10 min. before the host noticed we had not even gotten water, or been seen by the server, but he was apologetic and things quickly improved. The restaurant is NOT a place for a quiet dinner for two--it is very "high energy" (loud!) Cocktails were well-made and tasty. The two different pasta dishes we had were very good, with the pasta itself perfectly cooked. Grilled Napa lettuce appetizer was delicious as well. The Barbera by the glass was a nice wine. Panna Cotta dessert was delicious. Overall, a very good meal- we will return (I want to try the pizzas, which looked great).

    We tried Grand Isle spur of the moment. What a great find. We had specialty fish dishes which were exceptionally and uniquely prepared. Classic New Orleans fare but this chef has made it with their distinctive flair. Our waitress Tiffany was superb.

    We came in in Christmas Eve as hardly any place was open or had room. Food and service was great (thanks Jesss) — loved all the cuts of meat and different sauces. Happily surprised by the quality. Place itself could use some sprucing up.
