BRIGTSENS IS FAR AND BEYOND

   IamTheStorm1 - 07/02/2008

How could this site miss the best place to eat in the country..much less the world. BRIGTSENS is the best ...in food, deserts are second to none. Shame on this site not to mention this place. Lets not forget the owner and chef was awarded the highest honor a chef could receive too. And the staff....Second to none. Wonderful people here....Emeril who?
Dont fret about it Frank, Myrna, and all you great people there. WE LOVE BRIGTSENS.

okayy...

this is adressed to some of the awful reviews on this page, i understand that you may have had a bad experience, but i also see that most of these reviews were written when NOLA first opend [not saying that is an excuse]. we are under new management now...and you seriously can't go wrong with our food or service. if you go to NOLA now i dont believe that you could leave disappointed [just not possible]. Now i agree that it is a little noisy [but wat eva lol]! ohh by the way we are only open for lunch on saturdays and sundays from 11:30-2pm and we have regular dinner service every night monday through sunday from 6pm-10:00 [sometimes we take people in a little later than 10 but it's unusual *call*]! ALWAYS MAKE RESERVATIONS!

LOCALS FAVORITE

You usually know a restaurant is good in a tourist town by how many locals eat there. You will finds lots of locals here. The service is amazing. The staff cares. The food is AMAZING.
the only complaint is it is a little noisy.Don't go there for a romantic dinner because you cannot hear but it is exceptional.

Simply Amazing Food and Servic

From the moment I took my seat, I had an amazing experience. The service was phenomenal. I felt pampered at every moment. My food was amazing and the portions were generous. My friend had to send her meal back to achieve her required doneness. The staff was so accomodating and apologetic. Even the manager came over to ensure our satisfaction. They made it clear that she had to have what she wanted and it was their job to fulfill her wish. At the end of the meal, we didn't want to leave. We can't wait until next year to go back to NOLA. That will be our first stop.

Incredibly Overrated

Emeril has hit his low point with this imposter for an upscale dining facility. Mediocre food accompanied by snooty, incompetent wait staff, all topped off by ridiculous prices make this place a real loser! I'd never go there again. I live in Atlanta and his restaurant there is almost as bad. Maybe he should stick to the TV thing!

AMazing - worth every $!!!!

My husband and I enjoyed a spectacular lunch at this restaurant! The food was unbelievable, presented wonderfully and the taste was outstanding! I CANNOT say enough about the excellent staff. They literally catered to our every whim and no request or question was too big or small. We absolutely fell in love with New Orleans and plan on making NOLA a regular turn on EVERY visit!

Great duck!

We visit N.O. once a year. We always visit NOLA if we can. Make your reservation in advance. I was unable to add 1 person to my reservation at the last minute. I thought that was very rude, I made them 6 weeks prior. The hostess was very snobbish about it and would not accomidate. Other than that, our experience with the waiters and food has always been excellent. Love the roasted Duck, it melts in your mouth. A little pricey, but you're also paying for the atmosphere.

Fantastic!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! If it is on a weekend make a reservation in advance.

Pretty cool

NOLA was a fine dining experience. The service was wonderful...very attentive staff, (although we felt eyes upon us for need of our table when we were done). The menu included meals for different tastes, not too many choices that would make it difficult to choose, atmosphere was eclectic and fun, comfortable. I would recommend the restaurant but now that I've been there, I'd go to others to experience if we return to NOLA.
