We were a party of four, and we enjoyed our dinner at Mr. B’s. Rah was our server, and he took great care of us. For appetizers we enjoyed the Truffle fries and the fried oysters. Delicious! For entrees, we had the Filet, Gumbo yaya, Wedge salad, and Shrimp & Grits. All was Wonderful for dessert. We shared the Pecan pie and the Crème Brûlée. Would definitely dine again.

The redfish was the best I’ve had in NOLA up to this point. Brussel sprouts were delish along with the pork belly. Bread pudding with the English toffee was incredible. Services top notch. A very good culinary experience.

Good food, good ambience, and nice jazz music. The jazz band actually came to your table and can pick something for them to play for you.
