Restaurants near New Orleans Riverwalk Shopping Center

Listen, I know when you’re in New Orleans it’s all about the Creole. And we have thoroughly enjoyed eating our way through bowls of gumbo and grilled oysters… but nothing celebrated my palate like this experience we had at Nobu. I have no idea what we ate exactly, but I remember when I briefly needed glasses in 3rd grade and thinking the grass had never been greener and the sky had never really been blue like this before. This is what this food did to me. The flavors had—no exaggeration—actual swear-to-Jesus layers and my mouth celebrated it all with a little grand finale of a pop of punchy explosion. Yes. It was all that. It was perfect and everything I didn’t know I had been missing. It’s not cheap, but it is a real experience. Our server, Andrea made the best recommendations and our chef even visited tableside with an extra little surprise. I imagine in a world where people are seeking the Creole experience this Asian cuisine could be overlooked, but it should be a stand out. The cod dish I forgot to take a picture of was this sexy satiny dish that felt so luxurious like the best sheets you’ve ever slept in… Whatever the other white fish dish was the thing I will be coming back for. A beautiful layered delight. This little pepper that hit you right at the end like a first kiss. The Wagu dish was so smooth with just the right amount of peppery, salty punch atop a melt in your mouth beef with a final tomato explosion. All so good. Save your money for this splurge, it is worth it even for non-fancy people like me.

Great service by Rich and the entire staff. We took a friend out for her 28th. Birthday. They even gave her a kitchen tour. Food was excellent. Highly recommend the Crawfish & Goat Cheese Crepes and the District Tournedos. Phenomenal. Great experience. We will be back.

Wonderful experience! Great food, drinks, service, and of course atmosphere!

Try the Duck Confit; it was prepared just right. Oysters also great, as were the steaks, especially the American Wagyu and the 1885 Nebraska. Service was friendly and precise. Seats by the floor to ceiling window have spectacular views of the river and all the shipping traffic.

excellent food, professional service of the highest caliber.
