My husband and I had our first tasting menu experience at this restaurant. I had booked it as a surprise for his birthday, and it turned out to be an incredible decision. The restaurant is cozy and intimate, and the staff is incredibly attentive. They take care of everything, from taking your coats to seating you at a table with a birthday card already placed. They even fill your glass with water without you having to ask.
I’m a picky eater, so I was a bit confused when some of the dishes were introduced because of the unusual flavor combinations. But boy, was I impressed! Every single meal was delicious, with every element thoughtfully considered. The steak, in particular, was the best I’ve ever had. I have never had a piece of meat melt in my mouth before. All the dishes were a perfect balance of textures, colors, brightness, acidity, sweetness, and salt. The portion sizes were also just right, so I didn’t feel too full at the end of the meal, but I still got a good enough bite to taste every flavor.
The only thing that could have improved the experience was the dessert. It was a bit lacking in comparison to the rest of the menu. Overall, although it was an expensive meal, it was a 10/10 experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience.

I had an incredible dinner at Saint-Germain last night and their new Michelin star is truly earned. The tasting menu was exceptional, from the Parmesan Broth and Kaluga Caviar with Potato to the Hokkaido Scallop, the Lobster with Brown Butter, and the perfectly cooked Squab. I had the wine pairing, including a beautiful Brut Rosé Champagne, and every pour elevated the experience. I also received a truffle surprise that was unforgettable.
The Cheese Soufflé and the Rice, Coconut, Sichuan dessert were the perfect finish. Service was warm, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced. Thank you to the entire team for a wonderful experience. I look forward to being back.

Maybe I expected too much, but I didn’t find the flavors to be particularly original or well-balanced. It was 700 dollars for the two of us, I expected to be mind blown lol. That said, their Sichuan peppercorn dessert was genuinely creative and stood out.

Everything about the service and meal was perfection. I loved the experience of moving from bar to dining room, it represented a really nice split in the service, it gave me time to chat with the bartenders and workout a perfect cocktail for my husband, it’s just an ideal configuration. The food was incredibly well balanced with regard to flavor, consistency, etc… it was all so intentional, balanced, and flawlessly executed. I left thinking to myself sure, I’ve seen better micro green/flower work, perhaps more technical dessert work, but I think St Germain is the best overall meal I have ever had.

Saint Germain in New Orleans is a gem that feels like dining in a dear friend’s home. Every course evokes joy and wonder. The cozy Bywater setting, with its rustic charm and attentive staff, give you an experience like
no other. It’s not just a meal—it’s a memory you’ll cherish, worth every penny.

Loved this place! Food was fantastic, the Bywater atmosphere was relaxed, and the service excellent. You get the feeling that they’re less about putting on airs and more about providing a truly outstanding culinary experience. I will definitely be back!

Celebrated our anniversary at Saint-Germain—hands down one of the best meals my wife and I have ever had. As fans of Michelin-starred spots, this tops the list for us. The 10-course tasting menu was creative, flavorful, and unlike anything else we’ve tried. I won’t go into detail about the experience itself—I think it’s better to arrive without knowing exactly how things operate. Going in blind made the whole thing even more enjoyable and memorable. We can’t wait to return and try their next version of the tasting menu. Excellent all around!!

The whole experience here was electric. The service was impeccable, and dinner wasn’t rushed; every dish was thoroughly explained, making everything surprising and delicious.
This was one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. The most surprising dish was the cheese soufflé, which was both savory and sweet.
I can’t wait to go back to this place—it’s a MUST if you visit New Orleans.

Sublime in every way. Each dish was impeccable – innovative, thoughtful, memorable, delicious. My husband and I are still debating which were our favorites. The service was fabulous. It was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had while still being warm, welcoming, and easy going. Worth every penny. I would return in a heartbeat.

This place is amazing. We were visiting New Orleans and found out about it the only night it was going to be open on our trip. We shuffled our plans around to make it work and it was worth it!
The ambiance is lovely, the staff were very welcoming and engaging, the food and drinks were beyond spectacular. We can’t wait to return.
