I was beyond happy with my birthday brunch at Atchafalaya. It has the unique experience of being unpretentious but with exquisite food. Hands-down best shrimp and grits I have ever had. And I have had a lot! I started with one of my favorites, the deviled egg, which is just extraordinary. You won't get it anywhere else. Knowing it was my birthday, they scattered gold stars across the table, which was so adorable, and presented me with the most delicious German chocolate brownie with whipped cream that I have ever had. The place never disappoints!

Visiting New Orleans for the first time with my partner for his birthday. Made reservations at The Pelican Club and was not disappointed! From the moment we entered we were warmly greeted. We had reservations for patio seating and it was lovely. Our server was knowledgeable and quick. The food was absolutely delicious! I can’t go on enough about how fantastic everything we ordered was. We ordered two bottles of wine, red and white, which was recommended by staff and paired well with the food. We started with the bread and Caesar salad to share. The salad was crisp, fresh and dressing top notch! The bread is a must! Warm house made focaccia. My partner order the pork chop, the cleared the plate. The cut was thick and juicy. I ordered the short rib. It fell apart and melts in your mouth, paired with cheese grits, it was phenomenal. Over all experience was amazing and we left feeling very satisfied. The Pelican Club is defiantly a place we plan to dine at again on our next visit and will be recommending to any that travel to New Orleans.

I love peacocks so I chose this place for a graduation/birthday gathering with a few friends. I could not have chosen a better place. It is beautiful & everyone was very happy & energetic. I will be returning & just know the shareable menu was just enough for us. The food was delicious & plated beautifully. I give this place a 10 out of 10. I will brag on my night for years to come.
