Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. Jamie did a great job providing recommendations, was an awesome server and gave us a great experience and fun time. The lamb and branzino were phenomenal, the presentation was beautiful. The hamachi and mezze were great appetizers and the bang bang shrimp had great flavor and the right amount of kick. Can’t recommend this spot enough. As much as I enjoy the typical New Orleans food scene this was a great option for some lighter and fresher options and a nice upscale experience in a great setting.

I wish there was a 10-star option for N7. The absolute highlight of our first trip to New Orleans!!! Cannot say enough about N7; the ambiance, decor, staff, menu, food, etc, etc, etc, was all off the chart. Was so happy we were able to get reservations. Everything on the menu was outstanding. We enjoyed the Smoked Tomato soup, Napa Cabbage, Scallops, Escargots, Cheese plate, and the Steak au Poivre. EVERYTHING was cooked to perfection. Our server, who admitted it was her first night on the floor, after working there for several years, was fantastic (unfortunately I do not remember her name) but she was great. Her recommendations were spot on. Next time you visit New Orleans, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at N7. You will not be disappointed

Another amazing dinner at NOBU! Service and food were great. We had the tuna with crispy rice appetizer, fresh edamame, three sushi rolls (yellowtail, salmon-avocado, and shrimp tempura)- all delicious! We ended the meal with their signature black cod which is so good! Our server was very sweet and had suggestions for us too, Everything was perfect and we will be back!

This was easily the best meal that I have had in years. My wife agrees as her meal was fantastic as well. This is one of the few restaurants that I have eaten in in the past three or four years that truly deserves a Michelin star. It is absolutely excellent. The food is Asian and very imaginative the couple that run it are from Singapore and the place is run beautifully. The food is presented as if it was a Michelin two star restaurant. It is easily the best restaurant in New Orleans and nothing in Houston compares.

This was hands down one of the best dining experiences we've ever had! Highly recommend. The spicy edamame was incredible. The Waygu Roll was insanely delicious. Truly no reason a sushi roll should be that good. LoL The salmon dish was wonderful. The ambiance, the decor, the service... Top notch experience!

    We love doing date nights at Social! The yuca fries and guacamole are always a great start, and the wings were so delicious. I also love their cocktail menu and the inclusion of authentic chicha morada. Our waitstaff has always been so kind and helpful as well!
