Restaurants near Audubon Aquarium of the Americas

Best restaurant in the US Words can’t even describe! Been coming to Irene’s for almost 20 years! Last night was the first time in 8 years! New location and the best experience and meal ever! Been there close to 10 times Great job Irene and team! Love this place!

We sat at the bar and Mike gave us impeccable service. The food was the best we have experienced in New Orleans.

From the host, to the waitstaff, to the manager, the witty and charming personalities made the whole experience a pleasure. Our waiter Victor, aka "Raul Sanchez" was always there with his assistant Jaelynn to make sure we had drink and food at all times. We had the Reveillon dinner. I am not sure whether the fish or the gingerbread blondie was my fav. **Wonderful ambience with the spirit of the waitstaff even better than the spirits!**

Everything was wonderful as usual. This was our 4th Thanksgiving with August. The noise level was a problem this year because of one of the larger tables in the room where we were seated. One could tell by the looks on other’s faces in the room that no one was pleased at having their Thanksgiving dinner compromised by the bad behavior of a small group of people. I understand that the restaurant cannot control the guests, but it was extremely annoying. Everyone was relieved when the table departed.

Our server Carol, and the manager, Sam, truly made our evening. They were both so attentive and friendly. The food was delicious but I can’t say it was 5 star quality, but our meal was very enjoyable. The atmosphere was lovely. Great service truly makes a difference. Thank you Carol and Sam! We felt special!
