Galatoire’s Friday Lunch is a must do experience!
This was the one place my father in-law said “we must do”, so not going wasn’t an option. Just getting a reservation in and of it’s self was a task because it’s so iconic.
My wife called months in advance to try and book, but due to the Halloween festivities it was almost impossible.
A huge THANK YOU to Caroline Oliver. She was so nice, communicative, and accommodating working with us.
We arrived early for our 11:30am reservations, but not to worry because their bar was already open. We passed through the dinning room as the service staff was in a lineup getting prepared for the day’s service. Even though it was all business one server acknowledge us and made us feel immediately welcomed. We enjoyed cocktails at the bar which we thought would be dead, but it was alive and well. We knew that this was going to be an extra special experience based on the elaborate costumes people were wearing for Halloween.
We were promptly seated and the ambience was already at a rolling bubble, ready to boil.
As fate would have it the same server who greeted us in the staff lineup was also our server to the day, and I’m so thankful she was!
Candace Dickey or “Ace” absolutely made our experience!
She immediately made us feel at home and took control of our dinning cadence, allowing us relax and enjoy our day. She was maestro to our bacchanalia. The food was spot on: hot, fresh, classic, and full of the flavor’s of New Orleans that stay with you a lifetime. The entire staff was on point all around, it felt like we were at a party not a restaurant. We even got to compliment the chef!
A second line band even came through and sent the whole dinning room into a festive frenzy!
This was a dinning experience I will never forget.
In my 15+ years of restaurant management from Tampa, to L.A., and Atlanta; the service and dinning experience from start to finish is what excellence is all about. Thank you to the manager who greeted us as we left and to all the staff that made our trip one of the greats!
We were seated at 7:00, and by 9:00 we had only been served one round of drinks. Dinner was nowhere in sight, and there wasn’t much urgency from the staff to check in or move things along. For a restaurant with this reputation and price point, the pacing was disappointing and really took away from the experience.
Once the food did arrive, it was good — traditional flavors, well-prepared, and worth the wait from a culinary standpoint. Unfortunately, the painfully slow service overshadowed what could have been a memorable meal.
If you’re planning a visit, expect good food but be prepared to spend the entire evening waiting for it.
Service: Top notch. Kelsey, our server, was fantastic and took great care of us. Drinks came out often and well made.
Ambience: Definitely a 5 star French restaurant vibe – very cozy and welcoming.
Food: Incredible- I BBQ steaks all the time but the flavour and umami of the filet I had was freaking amazing. Like life changing amazing. My wife had the salmon that she loved. All the sides we ordered were equally outstanding.
I am going to dream about this place for a while. I wish I could give it 6 stars. It is that good.
All the food is well cooked, presented beautifully and beyond tasty. The drinks are well mixed and balanced. I definitely recommend making a trip here.
Service -1 Star: the server was hurried like what you expect at a Waffle House, not fine dining.
Food -1 Star: Flavors are not being built with depth. Everything is hurried and covered up with pepper.
I really should subtract another star for them not upholding the Dress Code. We were in business casual attire with a sport coat. There were 2 tables with hoodies and beanies. That’s completely unacceptable.
