"Crab Beignets were fantastic, Prawn and Pasta appetizer was forgettable, Chicken Fried Pork was tasty, Shrimp and Grits tasteless, lumpy, and bland (worst single dish of our six day visit), Coconut Pana Cotta and Butterscotch Pudding DIVINE. We would recommend a visit for dessert alone!"

"This was our third visit to La Petite Grocery, second for dinner. Some of our favorite dishes were off the menu and told would not return. The shrimp and grits were good as always, as was the paneed rabbit, though it could have used more sauce. The ramps were poorly prepared and the gumbo was lacking in flavor. Service was only so-so. Additionally, the staff would not assist us in obtaining a cab, even though we (group of 9) spent a large sum on dinner. Overall, I was disappointed with La Petite Grocery after this experience."

"We had Sunday evening dinner after 4 days in New Orleans. The atmosphere was wonderful, warm, welcoming and comforting. The staff acted as though we were family. The food is inventive and delicious and beautifully presented. Both the rabbit and the halibut were perfectly prepared. Nothing at all wrong with this lovely restaurant."

"Can't say enough positive about this gem. Totally unassuming amazingly comfortable chic. Don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. The baked blue crab wonderful. Roasted chicken with their sauce so good and understated. For lunch or dinner, go when you can relax afterward to savor the wonderful treat you just had. Just a pleasure!"

"We celebrated our anniversary here with a delicious meal. The restaurant (as the name indicates) is located in a renovated old neighborhood grocery store in a vibrant location on Magazine St. Parking in this area can be hard to find, but LPG has solved the problem for customers who are given the access code to a private parking lot when reservations are confirmed. We started our meal with a cocktail from their specialty menu. Both were excellent. Our appetizers consisted of their famous blue crab beignets (on the regular menu) and a special for the night of ramps ( a vegetable similar to green onions, our waitress explained). Both appetizers were delicious as was the rest of our meal.. I highly recommend La Petite Grocery! We will be back."

"I've been wanting to try this place for quite a while, so took advantage of being in town for other reasons to take my daughter there for dinner. The atmosphere is cute and service was very good. We started off with the blue crab beignets, which were excellent. The dessert, the cardamon cheesecake, was also outstanding. Unfortunately, the main courses were pretty mediocre. My daughter had the pasta with clams, and it was really al dente (i.e., very crunchy). I had the shrimp and grits, which had a tasty sauce, but I had a hard time finding any grits on the plate and those that I found were pretty watery. Perhaps we just made the wrong choices for the main course, but at the prices they charged I expected somewhat better food."

"This was our first time dining at La Petite Grocery, and it was a very pleasant meal indeed. We arrived and were immediately seated and were warmly greeted by our excellent server. We ordered two appetizers, the octopus and the sweetbreads, both were fabulous, especially the sweetbreads. We both ordered the rabbit, which was very good. When we return to New Orleans, we will definitely have to come back here."

"Justine and Mia has a real gem here! The building is steep in history, originally being a small French grocery. Now it's an upscale yet very seasonable fine dining establishment with a creative but not overwhelming menu. Went two nights in a row and my differnt guests really enjoyed it! We had 7 people the first night and tried just about everything on the menu- not one miss!! The
Octopus appetizer and the rabbit were my favorite, the evening fish, grouper was another fab!! Great wine selection, again very reasonable. All in all a real winner, especially for foodies! Go early and enjoy the friendly and relaxing bar."

"The food was perfect. Grilled octopus was amazing (a special), the lamb was great as was rabbit w/ spaetzl, all four apps/salads we had were delicious. I personally wasn't too crazy about the boudin balls, but I grew up near the cajun mecca of boudin so I'm hyper-critical. The rest of our party enjoyed them and they were still better than other places in NOLA. LPG accommodated one vegetarian in the group without hesitation which was much appreciated.
Service was spot on, always observant and attentive without being intrusive.
Cocktails were great, nice selection of whiskeys and aperitifs, and a broad wine selection. Wine choices were a little expensive, but not excessive.
I'll definitely be back!"

"We had heard a lot about this restaurant while researching our trip and were excited to go with colleagues. While the food, service & atmosphere were good, they were less than remarkable. For me, the best course was an appetizer special: garbanzo bean soup. I like to get fish when dining out, but none of the offerings sounded particularly interesting so I had the chicken. The bread pudding side was delicious but the chicken was a bit dry - I've had better at our local Peruvian rotisserie chicken restaurant. My husband's shrimp & grits was 'good' and our ricotta turnover dessert was just okay. I tried one companion's apple salad that was very good and her fig ice cream - also very good. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong dishes?"

"We snagged the first Sunday Brunch seating via Open Table on a last minute whim. The Red Hammer Bloody Mary is generously adorned with vegetables, shrimp, and heaps of crab claw meat which make it well-worth the $ (and you WILL need the fork). Each dish was a harmonious coupling of both texture and flavor. The staff was patient and attentive. At $120 for brunch for 3 were a little disappointed to see a large group of jean, t-shirt and flip-flop clad patrons dining along side us, but... this is New Orleans."

"With all of the restaurants in the french quarter and Commanders in the garden district...this is NOT worth the extra effort. Plus it is expensive compared to other places.
The hostess would not seat us where we wanted and said "These tables are reserved..." Yet they were unused all evening and the place was half full (French attitude). Some dishes were too salty. I would not eat here again and I cannot recommend this place.
Frankly I'm surprised about all of the positive feedback."

"The hanger steak was delicious and the service was great. However, the fried rabbit dish was so oily that there was a puddle left in the plate. I wouldn't recommend that for anyone who is watching calories."

"We had only one night out without kids while visiting the city, so I wanted to make sure we hit a "can't miss" Uptown restaurant, which is not hard to do here. After a lot of research, we settled on La Petite Grocery- the other contenders were Lilette and Coquette. We were all happy with our choice- I would describe it as a neighborhood restaurant that is fine enough for special occasion dinners as well. Food was excellent- its labeled as French, but why I picked it over Lilette is that it had more New Orleans/ Southern influence on the menu. I had the special duck gumbo and shrimp and grits. Everyone had desserts based on a comment in the TP review that they have a great pastry chef."

"Away from the crowds of Bourbon Street, in the Garden District, La Petite Grocery places wonderful and carefully prepared food on the table. The braised brussel sprouts made a great appetizer. The apple/celeriac salad preceded a hanger steak that was oh so good. The gulf flounder was done to perfection as well. A nice "wine-by-the-glass" selection was a welcome sight. No dessert on this trip. The dinner was more than enough. Great place and great service."

"This was my second time dining at LPG and I was not disappointed. My group had a wide selection of appetizers, entrees, and deserts, all of which were at least very good and some of which were incredible. Lowlight: I can make better broiled brussel sprouts at home. Highlight: everything else! the chocolate tart was especially delicious - I'd go back just for that!
The staff was very nice and personable. If you're a New Orleans resident, you have to try LPG!"

"LPG did not live up to it's gargantuan reputation, but how could it? People talk about this place as if its one of the 8 wonders of the world. The food was excellent. The portions were not big enough to share, but the prices would lead you to believe that they were. The decor was beautiful. Our server appeared to be having an off night and did nothing to enhance the dining experience. I would definitely go back, but not over my new orleans favorites like Clancy's, Luke and Emeril's."

"The ambiance is appealing in La Petite Grocery--and so is the food! The two appetizers--octopus and pork cheek--were outstanding; the pork cheek was juicy and rich with flavor, whereas the linguine with the octopus was spicy and left us wishing for more. Several entrees were ordered. The flounder was tender and perfectly cooked. The hanger steaks and fixings were a big hit. While the main dishes were rich and flavorful, we were equally impressed with the various vegetables that were included with the dishes. The potatoes with the hanger steaks were perfectly cooked and tasted better than any potatoes any of us have ever had. We were very pleased with the experience."

"This was our second visit to la petite grocery, our first for lunch. The staff is so friendly, and the waiters are top-notch; knowledgable, completely devoid of pretension, really nice. I had a terrific glass of Burgundian Chardonnay and my husband enjoyed a Belgian beer he, a real afficionado, had never before seen. We started with the baked oysters with collards, bacon and cornbread crumbs. Good and well-executed but the sweetness of the cornbread overshadowed everything else which was unfortunate. My husband had the pastrami sandwich and fries which he loved, and I had the absolutely sublime caramelized Brussels sprouts with pancetta as well as the shaved asparagus with beets and crawfish. The latter dish was lovely but lacked zing"

"Very good food -- including perhaps the best rabbit I've ever had. Nice starters at our table -- short rib, pork cheeks, a salad. Much elbow room, lots of space between tables. Service, though, did not match the prices. Too much downtime between seating, first visit, drink orders, etc. -- not sure if waitress was stretched thin or simply inattentive."
