Atchafalaya - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

HD gave us great service. The cantaloupe and crab gazpacho was delicious. The filet was amazing.

I went here Years ago, but didn't make a post. Seafood was fresh and food came out quickly.

Second visit and it was just as good as the first. Thank you to Mario and the entire team for their outstanding service!

Excellent food, service, and live music. Very memorable experience.

We took my grandson to celebrate his 12th birthday. It was a lovely meal and a great introduction to his first authentic creole meal in New Orleans. It was definitely worth the trip from California.

Great place for a food heaven celebration with the friendliest folks you could ask for.

Need more stars! This place is a local legend for good reason! I went last night for the first time in probably a year and a half, and I regret that. We sat at the bar last night and were treated like family by Ezra, our esteemed bartender. His knowledge of the cocktails and the menu was pinging the top, and he made the experience THAT much better. Can't wait to come back.

Great atmosphere. Impeccable service. Amazing food. Last night was truly remarkable.

Excellent food, service, and quaint atmosphere, though the dinning room is open and depending on the diners can be noisy.

As always, service is unmatched and the food outstanding.

We loved dining here during our family trip to New Orleans. The shrimps and grits were amazing.

5 stars across the board. Unbelievable fair price for 5 star food and service. The chicken and waffles was otherworldly and our server Luis was fantastic.

Fantastic brunch spot! The place is beautiful and ambiance is 10/10. They play soft Jazz music and not overly loud. The service was great, our server was very knowledgeable and friendly, seemed like he truly enjoyed being there. The food was amazing, everything we ate was fresh and very tasty!

This is a great place to enjoy a jazz brunch. It was fun to start the weekend morning with jazz.

The food was excellent, the service was exemplary... literally the best restaurant service I've seen in years. I would easily come back.

Everything was outstanding. I can’t wait to return.

5 star service, food, hospitality, ambience! We celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary here on 08/22/24. What a memorable experience filled with amazing food, wine, and dessert. We came in a little early and were pleasantly seated - the lovely table was set with a 'Happy 4th Anniversary' greeting and confetti (how sweet). The server was knowledgable and gave us great suggestions. Everything was delicious. The blue cheese flan is now my husbands' favorite dessert of all time. I was a pastry chef and worked in hospitality for two decades and I will tell you - Atchafalaya has everything. I wish we lived here. We cannot wait to come back. A special thank you to our wonderful host who provided me with several stamped postcards to send to my family and friends. Y'all are amazing. With our gratitude and love, Maria and Willie (New York)

this place is a gem! incredible gumbo et al. we’d been on the trolley and mosy’ing around Magazine street, when we realized it was dinnertime and hunger rang. after seeing great reviews and especially that Atcha was a neighborhood restaurant, we stopped in. the owner, Tony, greeted us warmly, and did not make a fuss that we did not have a reservation. he was kind, funny, and so accommodating! a beautiful and comfortable atmosphere, and then we ate…and the food surpassed our expectations!

Amazing food, service and ambience! Reasonably priced! A wonderful meal thank you!

Wonderful food, great service, great location, would recommend

Good food and service. Everything is too good to unforgettable👍👍

We landed in NOLA on the 1st day, this was our first meal. It was great! Easy parking too.

As we were reminded at the end of our meal, this was our 16th time to dine at Atchafalaya. So the bar has been set very high over the years. Our 16th had to rank up with all of our best! Heather Dawn’s (HD) service was perfect. Never intrusive, great suggestions, terrific banter- totally spot on! Our choices for apps and dinner were excellent, it’s amazing that the quality has never declined at all. The support staff was always there right on time to do whatever was appropriate. The other thing that amazes me is that whenever we dine, the staff always recognizes that we are returning customers. I’ve NEVER experienced this at any of our finer dining spots. Only at our local hangouts. All in all, another fantastic evening at Atchafalaya! Thanks so much!!!!!!!

Atchafalaya is ALWAYS excellent! From the time you enter the door, until you say goodbye, the staff and owners make you feel at home. Yesterday, I left my leftovers at the table and Perry tracked me down outside, sitting in my car. Now that's great service! Thank you, Perry!

Excellent food! Some of the best in town. Great atmosphere and service. Reasonable prices.

The food was good, and so was the service. The only thing I wasn’t pleased with was the 3% credit card surcharge that was not disclosed to us before paying. It was on our receipt once we paid and that’s the only reason we noticed it. It’s wasn’t a huge amount since it was a small party, but it’s the principle of transparency. Pretty sure it’s an illegal practice to not disclose prior to taking payment. Just an FYI for others.

What an experience! From the moment you walk through the doors you’re at home. Greeted by the charismatic, wonderful smile, charming Proprietor, Anthony (Tony). Our server HD was absolutely amazing. The ambience, superb. The decor, impeccable. The service, top shelf. The food, 5 STAR! I know, I know you want me to get to the food. How was it? There are no words to describe the meal you’re going to have at Atchafalaya. Your mouth dances with excitement and anticipation before the plate hits the table. The presentation alone says this is going to be special. Long story short…chef’s kiss 💋 2x’s 💋💋

I was able to have their special, the pan seared scallops with pork belly over coconut rice. After the chicken and andouille sausage gumbo, and the cocktail Atchafalya, I mopped up some of that delicious dark roux with some of the French bread and honey chive butter. The perfectly seared scallops paired perfectly with the saltiness of the crispy pork belly, and complimented by the creamy coconut rice. I’ll definitely be back for another seafood dish and dessert

This restaurant is an essential part of every one of my trips to New Orleans. With a varying menu and expert preparation, I can always find a great meal. The wine choices are also extensive as I often will wine-pair various courses. Service is very attentive. Highly recommended.

Clay and the whole team made the incredible food a memorable experience. Thanks!

We absolutely loved the food here! Customer service was on point. Ann(waitress) was so kind and informative! Everything she recommended we ordered and appreciated. We loved the fried green tomatoes and deviled eggs to start off our meal. To top it off we got the chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, and huevos rancheros! Watermelon margarita and expresso martini are lovely! cute spot with amazing chefs…..we will be back.

I had the house specialty Red Fish and I give it a 5/5 rating. The service was also 5/5. It’s a must try restaurant if you are visiting New Orleans. Value for money is also 5/5!

I really don’t know where to begin…the food, the service?? The food was phenomenal, if I could have crawled in the plates and just laid taking in the smell, the flavor, I would have. The service was top notch. Our waiter was very attentive and made sure we had a great experience. Highly recommend.

Great cocktails, bartender was knowledgable and creative. Great food. Highly recommended.

We decided to visit Atchafalaya to take advantage of the Coolinary menu offered. Our server Clay exceeded our expectations and he made the entire night that much more enjoyable. Food timing and presentation were excellent and contributed to further enjoying the meal. It had been some time since we last visited and it was every bit as good as the last time. Well done!!!

Always great! Excellent food and drink and great customer service. Go for the Jazz Brunch!

It's always a good time at Atchafalaya.... Located in wonderful Garden District... Great service.. Amazing food... Went for Sunday Brunch... good vibe and live music!

We came to celebrate a friend’s birthday after many friends recommended the restaurant. We arrived a few minutes early where we had to wait nearly 30 minutes (25 minutes after our scheduled reservation) because another party was still at our assigned table. We then had to wait 20 more minutes for the bread and our drinks to come to the table. We had to wait an hour and a half from arrival for entrees to get dropped at the table even though we ordered entrees the first time the server came to the table. Once the entrees came, they were not what we ordered where the kitchen had to redo our plates. The cocktails were nothing special, and the food was very lukewarm. The manager came speak with the table and began to question me on if my experience was truly as bad as what I was telling him. Their “apology” was taking care of one round of drinks and one side. Very disappointed in the experience and management’s response.

Food and service was wonderful! Cocktails awesome!

Our first time at this restaurant. Great food! They were not able to seat us at our Jazz Brunch reservation time. We waited about 15 minutes or so past the time. They did bring us a free side dish as compensation. My only real complaint is that we were seated upstairs where we could not hear the music. We chose this place because we wanted live music with our meal. We were not familiar with the seating to know to ask to be seated downstairs when we made the reservation.

Hands down our favorite restaurant we visited in New Orleans 😍! It happened to be around the corner from our airbnb… thank the food gods. We had brunch and dinner there - both amazing. Can’t wait to visit again, it will be our first stop.

The food was outstanding and the cocktails were inventive and delicious. Our server, H.D. And her team, were very knowledgeable and attentive. It was a great night to celebrate my birthday and can’t wait to go back.

I always enjoy dining here, my personal favorite(s) being the Crabcake Benedict with a Bayou Bloody for brunch/lunch! Thanks for another lovely meal.

Delicious and unique culinary creations, often using local/regional ingredients. Consistently excellent food and service. The staff is very helpful and courteous. Cool, lively atmosphere. Great live music!

One of the best meals we have ever had. Everything about the experience was excellent.

Although we had the last reservation for the evening at 9:00pm the host allowed us to add 2 more people to our party. Our server HD was fantastic. Our first evening in NOLA was perfect. Everyone working that night helped make it a memorable evening.

Another excellent experience at Atchafalaya in the books! Their team is always accommodating to allergies and dietary restrictions. I recently tried the parfait with granola, yogurt & a selection of fresh fruit.

Amazing food with a lovely atmosphere. Staff was very attentive. The shrimp and grits were excellent. I was very excited to find this gem.

I just wanted to thank the entire team for making this evening such a wonderful experience! I had a few friends visiting from out of town. They had a couple of requests: 1. See the city outside of the Quarter and dine in a “real neighborhood” 2. Awesome local seafood and a fun atmosphere, and 3. They don’t drink alcohol and were hoping I knew somewhere with cool N/A options. Atchafalaya came to mind instantly. Checks every box. Everything was perfect in every way! They of course raved about the food, but kept commenting on the service, which was impeccable! They also said it was the first time in a long time that they’ve looked at a mocktail list and could tell that someone put together with care. It really meant sooo much to them! Thanks so much y’all!!

We had a great visit this morning for brunch. We were a party of 7, so we sat in the front by the bar (which was totally fine). The portions are good, and delicious. Our server (I forget her name) was EXCELLENT. I mean, very friendly and on top of everything...just a delightful person that you wish could wait on you for any dining out experience. I would definitely recommend making reservations too, as it's not the biggest dining room in the city. Five stars all around for sure.

The food was delicious, and our service was great. Definitely recommend reservations for brunch.

The food and service was great! The music was so loud we had difficult time conversing with our friends.

This is the friendliest wait staff ever. The food was STELLAR and the chef is not afraid of seasoning because we had the best greens EVER with the most delicious porch chop and steak. Dessert was a lemon tart over homemade marshmallow. Their gumbo is the best I've had! Eat here!

Love this restaurant! We’ve moved away from NOLAa but when we get back for a visit we love coming to Atchafalaya! It’s always fabulous!!!

Wonderful dining experience. The menu has something for all adult diners. The bar had amazing drinks. Food was excellent. Small and intimate. The wait staff was excellent. The gumbo was amazing. Will stop in again !

I see this listed as LGBTQ+ friendly and a trans safe space but I really think this is a stretch. The food here is great but I was not made to feel welcome here. I arrived on time for my reservation and waited on the two staff (younger gentleman and older woman) at the front to acknowledge me after I said hello and as I stood right in front of them and was ignored by both. While I was standing there two separate parties arrived by car and came in (both led by older white cis men) and they were immediately greeted by the two staff and taken to their tables. Only after there was no one else coming in and I was still very obviously standing there did the younger gentleman finally acknowledge and attend to me. Once I was finally seated the waitstaff was kind and knowledgeable and took good care of me (and in the midst of a downpour outside). The food here is 5 stars but the two at front of house did not make it feel like a safe or welcome space for me hence the rating of 3 stars.

Honestly, what an amazing New Orleans experience. The staff and especially our waitress made us feel like royalty. The food was exceptionally good. Don’t miss it!

Atchafalaya was a wonderful dining experience. Inspired menu and every selection we made was excellent. Comfortable, relaxing space, caring staff and expertly prepared cocktails.

First time coming to Atchafalaya but will definitely be back! Came for brunch with a friend. Fried green tomato appetizer was delicious- we shared it. They brought small corn muffins which were amazing. Ordered Breakfast risotto (so flavorful) and friend ordered eggs, bacon with biscuit. Only disappointment was biscuit was heavy and dry but jam served with it was good! Mimosas and tea completed the meal. Great, helpful server. Never felt rushed even though we chatted awhile. Great brunch!

Chef Zack Peralta came to our table and greeted us!

Une expérience loin des sentiers battus du quartier français avec une cuisine locale dans une atmosphère calme et très new Orleans

We chose this for our last night in New Orleans and the food was great! Plus the service and the place is very nice. We really enjoyed our dinner

Wonderful service and the food was excellent as always! One of my favs!

Excellent environment with unique dishes and great service. I would definitely recommend.

One of the top dining experiences in New Orleans! Friendly staff, great food. My highest recommendation!

A large group of us had dinner tonight. It was one of the top culinary experiences of our lives. We had a set menu with wine pairings, and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Harold, our waiter was outstanding. The gumbo and the shrimp and grits were my personal favorites. Go. You can thank me later.

Delicious, unique, flavorful and interesting food, I would definitely come back here. The duck hash was excellent!

Food and service by Mario was great. We will definitely come back. I recommend the pork chop! The scenery is really nice and intimate

A friend and I recently enjoyed a very FUN Birthday Brunch at Atchafalaya. We were warmly welcomed and were seated at the bar while our table was readied. The bartender was wonderful and carried on the warm welcome. We were seated in a very timely manner and had the pleasure of being waited upon by Luis. Luis was friendly and knowledgeable and made some excellent recommendations. Thankfully, he pointed us in the directions of the Shrimp and Grits/Grilled Gulf Fish/a starter of the AMAZING deviled eggs. Topped off with a brunch cocktail, it made for the perfect afternoon celebration!

I passed by the day before and restaurant was closed for an event in the evening. Owner Rachael saw me looking and immediately informed me that they were preparing for an event but if I wanted to have a look at the menu and inside, I could. I was amazed by the professional gesture and booked a table for the next day lunch. And wow, it was a blast. From the greetings at the door from Rachael, wonderful service by Ryan the beverage director and the waiters. The food was amazing. I had the grits with shrimp and the Gumbo. Chef even came to the bar and brought me other dishes to try. Blue cheese flan, exquisite. Definitely a place to try and go back. You will not be disappointed. Atmosphere was very friendly.

Blue crab raviolo in a cream sauce, peach glazed slow roasted duck and blue cheese flan... beautiful flavors, all well balanced. I enjoy that the menu felt different and wasn't more of the same that I see everywhere. I sat at the bar where Ezra was super helpful - would definitely go back!! Still dreaming of that flan!!

Incredible evening, the dishes were succulent and the service impeccable. I highly recommend this restaurant !

Very welcoming place. Service and good was excellent

Celebrated my birthday at Atchafalaya based on a recommendation for a friend - so consider me your friend, and head to this restaurant! Every detail was perfect from being personally greeted, to the handcrafted cocktails, perfectly decorated table, superior service and dishes. Josh had the jumbo as a starter and I had the soup de jour which was sweet potatoes, crab, coconut milk and cilantro. This was a sych where I had to remind Josh we were in public and bowl licking was not approved. For our entrees, I went with the shrimp and grits which was insanely good. Josh went with a daily special of swordfish with a rice and okra mix and green beans - obviously healthier than my fish but as he described it - it was food art. We cannot recommend this restaurant enough. It satisfied the stomach and the soul.

As always, food and service was amazing. Took my parents and they truly enjoyed everything. I enjoy going and taking friends and family. Consistently amazing.

Best brunch in New Orleans. Every item on the menu is good

Everything we had for brunch was delicious. We had the wagyu short rib Benedict and the huevos ranchero. The watermelon margarita was amazing too.

Cool little spot with a great brunch. Service was great and everyone was very friendly.

Made a reservation here for my friend’s birthday and it was one of the best dining experiences we had while on our trip here. The food was amazing, so were the drinks, and our server Stephanie was so kind and helpful with her recommendations for our meals. They made my friend’s birthday so special with all their birthday wishes and the cute little table setup. Definitely add Atchafalaya to your list of New Orleans restaurants to visit!

Me and my husband walked in at 2:30pm and they told us they was closed but people was eating.

Excelente servicio y comida deliciosa. Recomendado.

Very good. Wife had Redfish and I had the pork chop.Will definitely go again

Our server was knowledgable, attentive, and anticipated our needs almost before we realized them ourselves. The food was extraordinary and wonderfully reflective of the renewed culinary traditions that make New Orleans special.

One of my favorite restaurants in NOLA! As for the cocktail, ask for the duck fat rinsed Sazerac (off menu)...you won't regret it.

Wonderful staff. Love this place for food anytime of the day.

The staff, the food, and the experience were wonderful. It was our first time dining at Atchafalaya but it won’t be the last. Incredible twists on classics and the staff made us feel like family.

Atchafalaya hits a homerun ... again! It's such a pleasure to eat there.

The true New Orleans brunch! If you’re a tourist visiting New Orleans, this place has to be in your list to visit! The most authentic southern food! And drinks! Great place to a Sunday brunch! They even have live music on Sundays! They blood Mary is one of the best in town! Definitely a place have a great food experience and check all the southern dishes off your list!

Wow. Best menu for a wine tasting I have ever had. The artichoke heart stuffed with lobster,clams and I think crab was great. The depth of character with the Swordfish with the sweet plum sauce and just a bite of spice over a bed of creamed corn that was the best I ever had. While the Waygu short ribs were melt in your mouth delicious, my absolute favorite were the potatoes on the side. What did they do to them! So unique and extremely tasty. Never disappointing. The peach and blueberry buckle at the end paired with a peach belini was the best ending to a fabulous meal.

this is for Clay, an amazing server that deserves to know. Clay you did me a 10/10 solid. Your pairing of white wine with the bleu crab appetizer, shrimp & grits and dessert is why i appreciate you so much. Yes the food is Michelin. Yes the atmosphere rivals BKLYN, CHI, LA, LV, MIA, DFW & MTL. but Clay, you Sir made my meal light years. When you visit please ask for Clay and be sure to talk with him. His knowledge and love of the menu is reflected quickly. Sadly I didn't take photos of my meal cuz i enjoy the experience more than through a camera. the hostess and table staff deserve accolades as well. All are attentive and pleasant. They never reached for a dish without asking first and move with purpose and poise. I will someday meet the kitchen staff for post shift cocktail and ensure they understand my appreciation. this review is also for the leadership of Atchafalaya. You've all done great work and investment in quality people and training. Please continue this and share. It was an experience I will treasure continually. til the next, enjoy!

Place is absolutely amazing! food is delicious! might be my fav place in New Orleans!

Atchafalaya does not disappoint!!! I read the reviews and their rating is almost spot on…it should be 5/5! We had the fried green tomatoes with butter poached shrimp as an appetizer. The presentation was great and the flavors were very thoughtfully combined with each element of the dish standing out on its own, but the flavor combination was phenomenal. The quiche practically melted in our mouths and was delicious. It came with a gorgeous salad. I had the special fried oyster BLT and again it was fabulous. The sandwich was rich and full of flavorful salty bacon mayo goodness. The richness was cut a little with the addition of fresh dill that gave the BLT an added layer of complexity and balance. (It was dill-icious! 😆) The boat load of fries that came with it were perfectly cooked and tasty. Last but not least, Tara was an excellent and attentive server! Next time we visit New Orleans, we will absolutely be back!!!

Fried oysters on my salad were cut up and battered to the point they were only clumps of batter. Birthday celebration was noted in the reservation but not acknowledged in any way.

This is my new Go-To every time I’m in NOLA. The food is outstanding. The staff is amazing! Just. Amazing!

Atchafalaya exceeded expectations. Great meal!!!!!!

Beautiful location, updated food section, tasty cocktails

For our first trip to NOLA (in July) my wife and I were overwhelmed with the restaurant options—all serving similar menus. Knowing we wanted something genuine and local we came across Atchafalaya and the great reviews. It’s a good ways from downtown but the street car takes you close. We made a reservation for brunch, based on reviews, and I’m glad we did. The restaurant filled up FAST. The food was incredible. We got the crab cakes Benedict and the duck hash. It was the best tasting breakfast I’ve ever had. The service was friendly, warm and engaging. Atchafalaya has a professional executive chef and it’s obvious in the flavor and presentation of the food. Even though there are thousands of food options, if we’re back in NOLA we’re going back to Atchafalaya to try the rest of their menu. Stop reading and make a reservation!

My friends and I came in for brunch. The service, food, and drinks were impeccable! Great interior and exterior decor.

My husband & I were very impressed w/Atchafalaya for Sunday brunch. We live in Oklahoma and travelled to NOLA for vacation. We spoke with the woman owner and a gentleman who seated us, both top notch people. I had the excellent shrimp and grits. My husband ate the red fish. He is extremely picky but could not stop talking about how good the food was. Our server was very attentive, courteous and helpful w/the menu. Every food item was flavorful & fresh down to the fresh squeezed OJ. Pricewise, definitely on the higher end of average, but worth every penny. A wonderful experience and highly recommended! This restaurant will be on our list when we travel back to NOLA.
