Had a great time from the bar to the table. Happy hour at the bar was efficient with service and great with bites. At the table service was handled excellently by Helene! Idk if thats the correct spelling ik it’s pronounced hell-ee-n. Great wine service as well. I would recommend to all my friends, and even my enemies because everyone deserves a chance at happiness.

We enjoyed our dining experience and the service was top notch. We had two waiters ( due to shift change) both were very accommodating, knowledgeable about items on the menu and served with smiles. The food was good. I enjoyed the twist on some of their traditional New Orleans food. Also, their cocktails are crafted and curated.

One of my favorite spots for dinner at the bar. Great food and service of course but the design is also gorgeous and the cocktail list is one of the best in town. Don’t skip dessert Oh, and HAPPY HOUR is killer. They have it on Saturdays and Sunday too (all day Sunday, in fact!) Definitely worth a trip

Probably the only place you can get authentic New Orleans fare. Added bonus was restaurant week and Sunday brunch time with live music accompaniment. We had the set menu 3-course brunch at 35 each guest. Ordered the marinated mussels, brown butter crepes with ricotta filling and apples on top, seafood gumbo, crab hush puppies, catfish and grits, chicken and waffles, beef sweet potato hash, beignets, strawberry shortcake, king cake bread pudding, and chocolate pears. Everything we had was delightful and just the right portion size.

From the moment we walked in, the whole team was attentive and just overall so pleasant. Our server, Sam, really tipped the scale from great to fantastic! He was knowledgeable of the menu and gave us great recommendations and had a fun personality. THEY MAKE THEIR OWN BUTTER! Everything was delicious, but our favorite dishes were the bread basket, BBQ shrimp, and the authentic beignets and chocolate mousse that makes you want to recreate the food court scene from When Harry Met Sally. Food was 10/10, our server, Sam was 11/10, Desert 100/10!

Dauphine’s has a great vibe with a beautiful bar area that sets the perfect tone for drinks and bites. Their happy hour selection is solid, and the New Orleans-inspired cocktails and food did not disappoint. For drinks, we had the Pimm’s Cup, Punch, and Hurricane—all refreshing, well-balanced, and classic New Orleans cocktails. Food-wise, we started with fresh and charbroiled oysters, both delicious in their own way. The chicken liver mousse dip with shrimp chips was creamy and unique, while the catfish dip had a great smoky flavor, served with buttery crackers—though a bit too crumbly. For the main, the blackened catfish was cooked perfectly—tender, flavorful, and paired with a rich, well-seasoned sauce. The rice grits were creamy and buttery, soaking up that sauce beautifully. 10 out of 10! With RTO in full swing, the place gets busy even on a Wednesday, so I’d recommend coming early for happy hour. Definitely planning to return!

The oysters and oysters spaghetti were delicious. We also loved the biscuits! The baked Alaska was really fun.
