   Had reservations at 7:45pm and the food seemed to just be warmed up not fresh, the dessert was burnt, we were seated in a small kitchen like room which was quiet but the chairs were very uncomfortable to sit in. The server was amazing and did the best she could.

   First time at Tujaque’s at their new location and might be the last. I read previous reviews but wanted to give it a shot anyway. The ambiance and decor are fine. Mixed reviews on the food. Gumbo and scallops were good. Mushroom crepe was just okay. Pork shank way overcooked and I probably should have sent it back. Chicken was very dry and bland. Bread pudding was good and thankfully not microwaved. Cobbler was just okay. They were out of Pot de Crème. We were a party of six so maybe that’s why we had two servers. I think that server setup might cause too much confusion. Initially brought the wrong wine which was a recommended pairing on the menu. Also completely forgot the baked oysters. Service was friendly but just not on par with what the restaurant is trying to be in my opinion. Not sure we’ll be back. Too many other restaurants at the same price point. Nothing was great and that’s the problem here.

   I normally don't leave negative reviews. Maybe it was just a one off experience, but the food was okay, drinks were not good, the service was poor. We had several different servers. We asked for refills of bread and water and never received it. The food was okay but not for the price value. The turtle soup lacked flavor-maybe because they never offered the sherry to top. They also took my spoon away and we couldn't get anyones attention to get a new one. My soup was cold by the time I was able to eat it (by acquiring it from another table). The grasshopper tasted more like mouthwash (and yes I've had grasshoppers and love them). Appetizers were okay: boudin balls and the mushroom crepe. The main course was pretty flavorful but by that time we were ready to go. The steak medium rare was the only item I didn't regret. The potatoes had potential (a bit hard) and tomatoes were flavorful. I don't mind paying money for a good meal. This just wasn't one of those. We had 6 people leave with the same thought: one we've crossed off the list of places to try.

   I went there with a family member visiting New Orleans for the first time. I found a rubber band on my broccoli. That kind of killed the mood of the dinning experience. They gave me credit for my meal only. Still the credit for the meal did not resuscitate our feelings. I hope they do better next time.

   This biggest reservation mistake I have made in 2024. An aging restaurant that reminisces of being a mainstay many moons ago. People in hoodies and jeans, far too casual for what we were looking for. Should have stuck with a classic with a dress code. Thought it would be a fun night to dress up and celebrate my daughter’s birthday…we were seated in a huge room with no other tables and absolutely no music, no ambiance. The food was over salted, over cooked and it just a hugely poor evening that I wasted $300 on.

   Service was slow. My husband ordered one of their special dishes and it is not what he received. Upon asking about it, the waitress told him they don’t do that dish every night so she brought him the chicken dish on the menu. She should have said that when he ordered it and allowed him to pick a different dish. The portion sizes were much tinier than they were when we visited 5 years ago. The desserts, creme brulee and the chocolate mouse were nothing to write home about. Very disappointed in our anniversary dinner last night. We won’t be back.
