Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Madisonville

We moved to New Orleans over 6 years ago, one of the draws was the vast possibilities for dining out. Although we will probably never exhaust our list of places to try we return again and again to GW Fins. It’s been #1 on our list for years now because they consistently deliver the best dining experience on every level, first and foremost the quality of the food and service. Last night was another perfect meal from appetizer to dessert, and Marlon was delightful. Much praise and many thanks go to Gary Wollerman and Chef Michael Nelson.

Every aspect of the dining experience was superb. The food was as good as it gets, and the server could not have been better. 527 is our favorite restaurant. It’s always a great dining experience.

I didn't catch the name of the maitre d' but he set the tone for our wonderful dining experience. When making the reservation, I did not mention it being my birthday (I still don't know how he knew), but he greeted us with a warm smile and wished me a happy birthday. Paul, our server, continued the fantastic service. He explained the special menu items and was patient with my 10 and 7-year old boys as we asked questions and explored the choices. Our beverage levels were closely monitored but not intrusive, and the food was perfection. None of us had any room for dessert, but the complementary and phenomenal birthday bread pudding (with a lit candle and four spoons!) topped off a delightful evening.

We had an excellent set of staff waiting on us and they were very attentive. The food all the way around excellent from the steak to the fish types, salads, and appetizers. That beet salad never fails to disappoint.. We had friends from out of town were wowed by how good the steaks and fish were. One thing we’ve learnt is we will never disappoint company bringing them here and we thank you for that 

The food is always delicious. I love the 5 course meal.
