Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in Uptown

Excellent staff serving very good dishes. Only drawback is the noise level. Be prepared.

Dante was an awesome server. The whole experience from craft cocktails and oyster at the bar to the bbq shrimp and pinwheel seafood lasagna was incredible

Saffron is always fantastic. Last night, the roasted oysters w/ parmesan and curry leaf, Bombay (fried) shrimp w/ tomato-ginger remoulade, and the Breads and Spreads (chicken pickle, eggplant dip and naan) started things off. Entree was the Nariyal Fish (grilled redfish served on a bed of curd rice over a green coconut korma - so perfectly cooked and a just right balance of flavors. Mr. and Mrs. Vilkhu and their staff go above and beyond to create a truly unique mixture of Creole and Indian food that you won't find anywhere else. Absolutely recommended.

My hubby and I have been coming here for several years. It is absolutely one of the finest restaurants we have ever eaten at (and we have traveled and eaten all over the world.) Charming atmosphere, fabulous staff who are knowledgeable, fun, engaging and attentive. The food is phenomenal - delicious and inventive, always fresh. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this restaurant is! Don’t miss it when in New Orleans!

What a great brunch. The food was exceptional. Noe our waiter was great. He was efficient , knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The jazz trio made the experience special. The brunch exceeded our expectations in every way.
