Very well planned Creole and Cajun menu. Excellent assortment for everyone. Only comment, portion sizes are huge. Might be worth splitting a plate. The catfish Decatur had the best jambalaya I've ever had.

    Willie Mae’s did not disappoint. The chicken and egg was delicious. The service was great. The ambience was nice. It wasn’t too loud. The food was tasty and perfect portions. Overall a good value. Would recommend to friends old and new.

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Sylvain! The atmosphere was charming and inviting, the food was delicious, and the service was warm and attentive. It was the perfect setting for a special evening celebrating our anniversary in New Orleans. Everything came together beautifully and made our night truly memorable. Highly recommend this hidden gem in the French Quarter. We would definitely return!

    We had such a wonderful experience celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday! Everything from the atmosphere to the food and service was absolutely amazing. The evening was so special, and we truly enjoyed every moment. A special shoutout to the chef, whose cooking I’ve always loved! She never disappoints, and this evening was no exception. You can truly taste the love and care put into every dish. Thank you all for making such a special occasion even more memorable. We’ll definitely be back! 🤍
