"The bread had raisins and good texture. Otherwise the food was unremarkable--blackened fish and gumbo that are available everywhere in the neighborhood. The night we dined, there appeared to be only one waiter for the entire dining room, so service was extremely slow."

"Location was great but food was poor. The crab beignets were just fried crab balls and the BBQ shrimp was overdone. Too bad since its location was super and the waitress very nice and eager to please"

"We were in New Orleans Easter weekend and had not made reservations for Saturday night at any of the "name" restaurants. Needless to say none were available when looking mid-week. We reviewed the Cafe Opera menu online and found that it appealed to our tastes. The food was excellent and the wine was very reasonably priced."

"We were told by Charles the manager that the Easter brunch consist of the special Easter menu and the regular lunch menu. Also bottomless mimosa's. BM's or champagne for an extra $9.95.

When we arrived, there was no lunch menu and only BM's for an additional $12.00

The only other items that we could get were more or less snack food.

We had to leave.

Guess that was a lot of mis-communication going on."

"You folks were outstanding for our Easter brunch. You kept up with our needs before we arrived with your phone calls and your care to make sure that the menu was workable for our formerly-vegan guests. When the Easter parade was seen through the window, you accommodated our desire to experience the parade in between the courses, and when we returned, you made it appear that the timing was perfect for the arrival of the main course- that was much appreciated. We were very happy to have our time together there."
