Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Bywater

Had a wonderful experience at Chophouse! We were seated a few minutes early for our reservation. The singer in the bar was wonderful. We split the lyonnaise, asparagus, and salad. My husband had a delmonico steak and I had a filet. Melt in your mouth good. We will be back!

A remarkable resturant. Terrence served our table professionally, and kindly. he was wonderful to us. The food came out promptly, and was marvelously prepared. Very flavorful, and delicious. We will go back many times. the resturant was full, perhaps 500 diners. The kitchen, and staff handled it superbly, and professionally. A top 5 dining experience.

The Reveillon Dinner was the best experience of the Season. Some restaurants seem use the prix fixe menu as an opportunity to dumb-down their offerings. This was not the case at The Country Club. The menu was thoughtful, seasonal, well prepared and reflective of the fine kitchen for which this establishment is known. We had a lovely evening, with excellent wine advice from our main server. As an added bonus, the ambiance of this venue is not to be missed.

This has been the best restaurant in New Orleans we have experienced. The service was attentive, especially since we had a child in the group. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was excellent, even tho the room seemed noisy, we had a corner round table for six of us and could talk in normal tones and everyone was heard. A perfect evening. So glad it was recommended to us!

Food and service were exceptional. We had the ceviche’ and lobster ravioli appetizers then ordered Hallibut with scallops and shrimp risotto — the signature dish — and the Parmesan-crusted sheepshead with lemon butter and browned capers served either asparagus as our main courses. Everything was perfectly prepared! We ordered 3 desserts to top it all off: the salty malty ice cream pie, the white chocolate bread pudding and the chocolate mouse in a dark chocolate dome with raspberry gelee’. Perfect evening. Except for learning at the end of the night that our parking would not be validated. We were not told to bring the parking ticket to the front desk at the beginning of the night. If you go to GW Finn’s and expect to get parking validated, do not pay the garage when you park (despite the fact that all of the signs in the garage and the boots on cars are somewhat threatening in there). Instead, take your unpaid parking garage ticket directly to the front desk at the restaurant for validation with a picture of your license plate. This was the only sour note of our evening. Otherwise, it was perfect!
