    We shared the ‘bone in’ Bon Ton cut. Hands down the best prime rib ever.

    Our Server, Zak, was friendly and busy. All of the food was delicious and well prepared. But it took almost an hour to be seated for our 7pm rez. Very popular place for good reason. Everyone is happy to see the Bon Ton reopen. However, they need to get a handle on timing.

    Came back to Nola and wanted to eat again at Bon Ton to see if it was as good as I remembered. It was even better. All the items were good but the prime rib was unlike any I’ve ever had anywhere else. So tender and flavorful. We will return next time we are in Nola.

    There are not enough superlatives to write an adequate review for Bon Ton. This place is wonderful!! Fabulous, delicious food. Attentive, fun staff. Intimate atmosphere. Good music that is audience appropriate…I’m 65 — sure you can do the math. 😊 Just an enjoyable evening with truly amazing food. Best crab cakes I’ve had anywhere, and I’ve been to Maryland. This is our new ‘must eat at’ when we visit New Orleans.
