Cafe Degas
New Orleans
概要
レビュー
Service was an issue but the food is delicious. I had the daily special and I wish I remembered the name because I’d get it every time. It took the waiter a while to take the orders and he tried to take a drink while I still had a few sips left. Parking was typically difficult for New Orleans.
Wow! We had no reservation on a Saturday and Grace showed us grace and got us a table right near the tree that grows up through the floor. Chad was incredible. He knew the menu so well. We got all items to share. Food was AMAZING! Adrien was so knowledgeable about our cheeses. The staff here is so nice. Food out of this world.
Phenomenal food and service. Historical nature of the atmosphere doesn't hurt either. A quaint open air indoor dining experience that feels like you're eating on a family porch during a party. The confit duck leg was exquisite and while perfectly crispy on the outside, succulent on the inside. The lamb shank was like butter melting off the bone, perfectly cooked and blasting with flavor. The Chambord cake had a lovely sweet and tart reduction and fluffy consistency. But the unexpected showstopper was the most incredible sorbet I have ever had in my entire life, it was a mixed berry one that night and will live on in my dreams until my dying days.
Cafe Degas is a restaurant my family has loved for years. Once in the 2010s, my mom and I were both ill and the only thing we wanted was Cafe Degas’ french onion soup. We drove 45 minutes just for it, and still talk about how good it is to this day. Today we came to bring my Scottish partner and it was as wonderful as always. We got the mussels, frites, a french onion soup, the puppy drum (*3), and a steak. Gah, I could have drunk the sauce for the puppy drum and been satisfied. My only complaint is that I have been eating too much on this visit home and I didn’t have space for the lemon icebox pie or chocolate decadence. To top it all, our server, Ky, was excellent. Charming and helpful and made the experience that much better.
It didn’t start well, but it did end well. We came in a few minutes early for our reservation. We’re visiting New Orleans and my husband found this place for our 23rd anniversary dinner. We were sat. And then we waited. And waited. And waited. Over 30 minutes later I asked someone if it’s normal to wait for over 30 minutes without anyone taking our order. Turns out that’s not normal at all. Also, he looked mildly horrified, which helped. Finally we get a waiter and service began. He was great. I was too hungry and annoyed at that point to catch his name, but the food came fast and was good. And he gave us dessert on the house since we waited so much in the beginning. They have a fig jam with a hint of horseradish that is so good I need to figure out how it’s made. Honestly. 4 stars overall bc of the wait. Otherwise it would be 5 all the way through.
