I had such a lovely time at their jazz brunch. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The cocktail pitchers were a great touch and perfect for sharing at the table. The live music created a pleasant vibe and felt like a nice extra to the whole experience. It was easy to enjoy conversations without the music overpowering the space, which made the brunch even more enjoyable. Definitely a five star experience for me.

Great Creole restaurant with an awesome vibe!
Came here on a weeknight. I made sure to make reservations ahead of time, since the restaurant tends to be busy. The place was crowded, but we got a table on the second floor right away.
For appetizers, we ordered the Honey Chili Brussels Sprouts and the Cajun Shrimp Skewers. Both were delicious with a ton of flavor. 5/5 for appetizers.
For my entree, I had the Cornmeal-crusted Black Sea Bass. It was also really good. The fish was seared perfectly, the vegetables and lemon butter sauce combined with it perfectly. 4.5/5 for entree.
For dessert, we shared the Hummingbird cake. I enjoyed the cake filling, which was coffee flavor, more than the rest of the cake. 4/5 for dessert. I think next time I might order the Beignets or Bread Pudding.
The atmosphere gets a 5/5 for me. And the service was very good. I think this is a great restaurant to experience the New Orleans vibe without leaving NYC.

What up, y’all! I’m back again with another date night review ✨this time for 1803 NYC; a Cajun restaurant located in Tribeca. First off, I love the aesthetic of the place. Decorated with floral elements and fluer de lis fencing, it’s like a small burst of NOLA in NYC. They also sometimes have a band playing live jazz Since Babe and I have been exploring all of the raw oyster options we can, I HAD to put him on to the charbroiled version! 1803 NYC does an amazing job with them too; buttery with the perfect amount of spice, they’re definitely a 10/10. We also got some raw oysters, of course. Those were delicious too We then got the Brussels sprouts and the sea bass. The Brussel Sprouts were cooked to perfection with a crunchy outer texture and a pillowy inside. And the chilli sauce it comes in? Absolutely BAGING! As for the sea bass I wasn’t expecting it to come fried (though I don’t know what I expected after reading cornmeal crusted but ya live and learn right ). Either way, the fish was super meaty and well cooked. I also loved the lemon butter caper sauce it came with. Though I personally wasn’t a big fan of the frying mixture used and think the fish would be better served grilled, I enjoyed my overall dining experience✨ Def recommend this spot for a date night or an after work drink SN: I LOVE the sauces that come on the table. The Fresno chilli has a vibrant kick while the green sauce was a bit more mellow but packed with flavor. ️
I also wanted to give a quick shoutout to our server, Bridgette! She was super sweet and not only accommodating but also ingenious. When I wanted a refill of my glass, she left me with my original glass and returned with a carafe. I just thought that was so smart (though I’m sure for her it was a no brainer )

The service was great! Everyone was friendly, from our server to the food runners.
The food was overall good.
The charbroiled oysters were delicious, and the Brussels sprouts could have been cooked a little longer, but they tasted great.
For our mains, the sauce on the Branzino made it a bit soggy, and the short rib Ragú pasta could have been a bit more al dente.
Sorry for the very opinionated review, but it’s with good intentions.

The staff was beyond welcoming, attentive and friendly. The Oysters were beyond disappointing! Nothing like Drago’s in New Orleans. The meat of the oyster’s were so small there was almost nothing there to eat but the sauce, which was good but there was little meat there was; shriveled! Please don’t order the oysters. I should have sent them back immediately. The bread was soft and nicely toasted but no butter.
The ribs were fall off the bone tender but it needed MORE seasoning! They needed , heat, spice and or citrus. They needed something to balance out the sweetness.brought mine home and reseasoned them with garlic and jalapeño, and added Adobo.
The best thing to me was the gumbo. Again more seasoning! What do they have against onion, garlic and Tony’s.
Finally the bread pudding top with butter pecan ice, delicious! I finished it right there.

Perfect brunch experience!! The food was delicious. The live music excellent. Atmosphere was inviting and fun.
The bread pudding was the best thing I ate in a long time. Incredible mixture of chocolate, caramel ice cream and of course bread pudding. Highly recommend!

Wow…what an experience. Allow me a few minutes to convince you to come here since I’m sure that’s the reason you’re reading these reviews..upon arrival the host was extremely welcoming. She gave us a choice in seating and walked us to our table. Cool. She offered us options of still, sparkling or tap water immediately, we love the options! Then she told us about their $30 per person prefix menu and there were a few interesting choices (of course there is a normal menu!)..I got the 1803 burger and the gumbo as a starter. This restaurant is like a mix of northern and southern flavors… the Cajun gumbo was excellent! I kid you not! The burger was so well prepared. I could tell it was quality meat. The brioche bun was superb. The fries? Not the average frozen bag type; they were definitely hand made. Anyway after we packed everything up to go the owner and I had an amazing conversation about our cultures! He’s Guatemalan and very VERY knowledgeable about its geography and history! He has amazing energy and makes customers feel welcomed. I witnessed him treat another couple exactly the same earlier as I was eating my meal, I thought they knew each other!! Turns out he’s just an amazing business owner. There’s also a speak easy downstairs if you’re into that! And a Mardi Gras celebration coming soon! So if you had any doubts about coming here I hope I wiped them all away! Bye now!

Thanks to a very mild Nor’easter, my trip to NOLA was grounded two weeks ago. I craved the essence of New Orleans and so I went on a search for a bit of New Orleans in the city. I came across File gumbo bar and 1803 on Instagram and the two restaurants are within walking distance of each other. Naturally, I made reservations for both as I absolutely have to try both restaurants. We visited File Gumbo Bar first for brunch. We had an amazing time. The food, atmosphere, and service were all what we expected of a restaurant with such great reviews. After brunch, we walked over to 1803 for drinks, appetizers, and good conversation while we played catch up in the city. The restaurant exterior seemed promising, tall elegant windows and an inviting ambiance. On the inside however, the vibe was just completely off as soon as we walked in. The establishment is very small. The tables are cramped next to each other and the chairs reminded me of my seat in my kindergarten class. Very small and uncomfortable. The music play list was 1970s funk, not what you’d expect at a NOLA themed establishment. And there was a musky smell in the air. We were seated near the restroom. It smelled like dirty mop or mold. Just not good. We opted for regular tap water and received a bottle with a branch in it. My first inclination was that it was probably mint, but there was no smell or taste of mint to the water. Slightly off putting. We opted for the Hurricane as a drink and ordered Chargrilled Oysters, Ribs, and Mac n Cheese for our appetizers. The Hurricane looked like what you’d expect to see when you order one at a NOLA establishment, and it was quite potent. The chargrilled oysters were flavorful but very little meat to it. The Mac n cheese was just OK. The ribs were very tender, and the sauce was sweet with a hint of spice, but the meat was a bit dry. We left about half of each dish behind. No interest in taking home any of the left overs. Towards the end of our meal, a waitress, who was not our original server, asked us how everything was. We asked for the check. She brought the check over and hovered over us. Our original server came back and processed our payment. After paying and tipping, we rose from our table to leave. The manager wished us a good evening but also asked the hovering waitress if we paid our bill. That was extremely rude. This experience absolutely paled in comparison to our amazing brunch at File Gumbo Bar earlier. If you are seeking a fun relaxing brunch vibe with amazing food, great live jazz, and professional service, go to File Gumbo Bar just a few streets down instead. Our first and last visit to 1803 was so disappointing.

Great atmosphere in and outside. Reasonable prices. Service very friendly and fun. Escargot delicious. Shrimp plump and juicy with a great sauce. Paella a bit dry so they brought out a very tasty sauce to liven it up. The ribs appetizer was the standout falling off the bone.
