I visited Antoine’s twice, during my work trip. Once for lunch. Once for dinner. It was so delicious. Each visit was a similar yet different experience. Lunch was quiet. The broiled oysters, gumbo, and crab cake with cream were decadent and delicious. Dinner was incredible. I had the Pompano Pontchartrain. Probably, THE, best white fish plate I have ever eaten. Antoine’s is know for it. I can see why. We had drinks, good conversation, amazing food, and a comforting ambiance, not to mention the tip top wait staff. Not only that, but the wait staff tipped us off to some scenic spots within the restaurant, which included: several royalty like dining areas, the ability to view their historic wine cellar, and a rustic back alley area that led to a speakeasy. Who knew?!?! This added an over the top experience If you spend time in New Orleans, Antoine’s must be on your list to visit.

Dining at Antoine’s truly feels like stepping back into the golden era of New Orleans. Established in 1840, this legendary restaurant is not only historic, but filled with soul, elegance, and timeless Creole charm. The restaurant features around 14 uniquely themed dining rooms, each carrying its own atmosphere and stories, decorated with fascinating photographs of famous artists, political figures, and important personalities who once dined there. The service was exceptionally elegant and professional — classic fine dining hospitality that is becoming harder to find today. Every detail felt refined yet warm, making the entire experience memorable from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying the escargot and the onion soup, both rich in flavor and beautifully prepared. Their liquor selection and cocktails were also excellent, perfectly complementing the sophisticated atmosphere of the restaurant. Antoine’s is more than just a place to eat — it is a living piece of New Orleans history, where tradition, culture, and fine dining come together in the most unforgettable way. A true must-visit when in New Orleans.

Antoine’s Restaurant was truly one of the highlights of my time in New Orleans. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful — elegant, historic, and filled with atmosphere in every detail. The food and overall experience were magnificent. What made this visit especially memorable for me was the outstanding hospitality from Stephanie, the host. From the moment I arrived, I was told there would be a wait and that there might not be availability, but Stephanie immediately found a way to accommodate me with kindness and professionalism. Her service was truly impeccable and made me feel genuinely welcomed. At the end of the evening, I simply asked if I could briefly see the wine cellar. At first, I was told it would not be possible, but Stephanie kindly took the time to personally bring me there herself, which made the experience even more special and unforgettable. I would also like to thank our server, Latesha, for her delicate and attentive service throughout the evening. A beautiful and unforgettable New Orleans experience.

Went for lunch on a Friday at noon. We had a reservation but didn’t need it. They have a lunch special including an appetizer and entree for $26. We each did the special with a drink. The real star of the show is the service here. It is top tier. Very attentive constant water refills. Even Gabe is new glasses halfway through dinner to refresh our ice. We each loved our drinks. We had a Chardonnay, espresso martini and French 75. The bread is excellent then we tried each of the specials across the three of us and I have never had sword fish this good. Absolutely loved it. The vibe odd also great white table cloths and dimmed lighting make it fancy but still cozy.

2-2-2 oysters were delish!! not your traditional oysters but in the best way. drinks, soup, salad, were so good. filet migon oscar was amazing. do not recommend the creamed spinach, it had a minty taste to it? you have to pay for the happy birthday dessert you see photos of, but they give a small pecan banana bread for free which was still amazing. 10/10 would recommend.
