Briquette
New Orleans
レビュー
If you’re looking for dishes with truly unique flavors, Briquette is definitely the place to go! The appetizers were fantastic, and the stuffed scallops were absolutely heavenly. Every dish had its own distinctive flavor and was beautifully prepared. Their summer drinks were awesome and paired perfectly with the food. I’ve posted pictures of the dishes and menu so you can get a better idea of what they offer. Definitely give this place a try, you will not regret it!
Rich is the best! He guided us through this fantastic menu and kept us laughing and smiling with each visit to the table. Huge portions, decadent cuisine, splendid atmosphere. They've found return customers in me and my friends.
A beautiful, upscale spot in New Orleans with a modern industrial vibe and an open kitchen that immediately sets the tone for a night out. The seafood is fresh, flavors are well executed, and portions are generous, definitely a place that feels like a “treat yourself” dinner. That said… the real star of the night? The desserts. They completely stole the show—rich, indulgent, and the perfect sweet ending after a seafood-heavy meal. This is one of those places where you have to save room, because skipping dessert would honestly be a mistake. Overall: ✨ Beautiful ambiance ✨ Solid food (especially seafood) ✨ Desserts = WOW Some people mention it can be a bit pricey or loud at times, but for a nice dinner in New Orleans, it’s still worth experiencing at least once. When you go… tell them Flavia Sent You 💋
I sat at the bar and was served by the bartender. She was great- friendly and knowledgeable about the menu as well as the drinks. I ordered the Steamed Prince Edward Mussels and pommes frites along with the Briquette salad. Everything was delicious! The cream sauce was so good I used the fries to mop up the last of it. The salad was good but the smoky eggplant caviar pushed it over the top to great. For dessert I had the floating island meringue and it was like eating a delicious cloud. It is an unusual dessert offering so I highly recommend trying it.
I booked this particular restaurant on its ranking & recommendations for a Valentines day dinner. Upon walking in the atmosphere was much louder & significantly less formal than had been expected. It was more of a family setting rather than intimate, with quite a few small children...being small children. Once seated we waited about 20 mins before we were acknowledged by any staff, and didnt even have water on the table. We ordered drinks & were warned by our waiter that the bar was completely backed up. We went ahead & ordered the Ahi Poke as an appetizer & figuring we would be in for the long haul. When the Ahi Poke arrived, the spice level was a bit much for me (& I like spicy), but my wife could not eat it. There was no indication on the menu that it would be spicy. For dinner my wife had The Snapper Ponchartrain while I had The Lamb Shank Puttanesca. Both dishes were lacking any seasoning. The fish was lightly breaded (also not mentioned on the menu) & mostly dry. The lamb was perfectly cooked & tender, however the pairing with angel hair, tomato sauce and tapenade was an interesting combination. The lamb shank portion size was egregious compared to other dishes being served. Our drinks that were ordered prior to appetizers arrived half way through our dinner. The restaurant seemed well staffed, but they were clearly frazzled by the bar being so backed up. Service was slow at best. There was a special Valentines Day menu that we weren't even show, but happened to see it on our way out. I would have expected a manager to stop by at some point to acknowledge the extreme delay in drink service, but that didn't happen. Overall we were a little disappointed in the whole experience, but wouldn't rule out trying again during a less busy time. It just wouldn't be top on the list.
