    We came to Nobu for my Birthday occasion and the experience was amazing! The ambiance, the servers waiting to provide the most clean and wonderful experience you can have. The food was amazing! The Hot Stone Wagyu is to die for! The Sake was so so good and the Shrimp Tempurah Roll are giving me flash backs. The music and vibes of this place is so cool as well as relaxing. Japanese spa vibes but think inside a really nice underground cave. Beautiful restaurant and I'm so happy Nobu is here in New Orleans. Perfect first experience! I can't wait to come back. Thank you!

    The ambiance and vibe of Irene's is always the wonderful foundation for the dining experience here. You have to just walk in and feel the coolness of the place. Sean was our server and provided interactive fun banter and well measured service. We enjoyed the ravioli, softshell crab meuniete and crabmeat gratin apps. Then it was on to the amazing sweet potato and andouille soup special, Italian wedding soup and Caesar salad for our second course...all delicious! The Duck st. Philip is not to be missed and we also enjoyed the Shrimp and Crawfish Fettuccine and Chicken Rosemarino...thank you for a lovely evening Irene's...will see you again real soon!

    Absolutely fabulous. All of the oysters were beyond luxurious. Our group tried all the different hot ways and the fresh oysters were fresh, mild and briny. The fowl gumbo was to die for with just enough heat to let you know you are in Cajun country. The duck and chicken was melt in your mouth tender. The shrimp and grits were some of the best I’ve had in the country. Definitely a repeat when in town. Was so pleased with both the food AND service I found the manager and made sure to compliment him and the restaurant. Definitely. 5 star meal and very reasonably priced for the quality of food. BRAVO!!!
