Had a 7 PM reservation on the Thursday night. We showed up at 6:30 and they were able to seat us right away. Patrick was an excellent server! The food was very butter heavy but tasted delicious. We couldn’t quite figure out how to casual of a vibe they were going for as there were people in jeans and a T-shirt sitting near other patrons in evening gowns. Overall I would say it was good but nothingI’d be jumping at the gun to come back to
Briquette brings a fantastic dining experience, which will keep us coming back! The lighting is fun, electric and romantic. The food is incredible!!! The Pork Porterhouse was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had! The Lemon Cloud dessert is like nothing I’ve ever tasted before and it practically disappears in your mouth.
This place was a total treat! The server was so kind, friendly, and on top of everything! The meal itself was delightful and I was very impressed with the amount of flavor they packed in! The crispy skin salmon? To die for! I also was gifted a little chocolate cake slice for my birthday and it was so rich and decadent! I 100% recommend stopping in here!
In preparing for my 4 day/3 night stay in New Orleans I visited the Groupon app for sites and activities. There was a Groupon for $30 off the total for lunch or dinner at Briquettes. We arrived early for our 6:45pm reservation and were seated immediately. The menu is not long but offers a nice variety of high quality, select options. Lots of seafood choices, steak, pork and even duck. Our waiter, Samuel was efficient but not much of a talker as far as chit-chat. He was happy to answer our questions with a minimum of extra conversation. I had the Blackened Red Fish with grilled shrimp and fried green tomatoes. Everything on my plate was delicious. My friend selected the duck. I especially enjoyed the presentation of the food. Top-notch all the way. The third person in our group had just the lobster bisque. Everyone was satisfied with their food and the prices were very reasonable. This restaurant with the quality food and quality service appears to be an establishment providing a second chance to those who have made mistakes in the past. I am all for supporting their efforts. If I am mistaken I am still happy to visit Briquettes again when I am next in New Orleans.
I enjoyed a great dinner here for my birthday. Rich was our server and his service was awesome! He was so personable, funny, and really had great recommendations. Everything was so wonderful and at the end of our meal, he surprised me with everyone in the restaurant singing me happy birthday as my dessert came out. I was so impressed with the wonderful food and amazing service. I had the salmon and my fiancé had the snapper and these dishes were phenomenal
The service was phenomenal. My Salmon was cooked just right. The food came out at the perfect temperature. The brussel sprouts were tasty with a hint of sweetness. The desserts were nice portions and looked spectacular. Unfortunately, after I demolished my food, I was stuffed. I will have to try a dessert next time.
Such an amazing menu for both land, sea, and drinks. The choices are fantastic and delicious. Wine list is huge and from all over the world. The space is well planned and everything is clean. The waitstaff is attentive and friendly. I got the lamb and it was huge and delicious. Between my entire group we were joking that we had at least a whole animal because the sizes were so generous. Funny story, randomly met the owner, such a nice down to earth guy, friendly and truly invested in the menu and the restaurant. He leads multiple restaurants in NOLA and in florida. Will keep the list of his restaurants on my want to go and will return list!
From the moment we walked in we were serenaded with kindness, smiles, laughs and some of the best food we have ever had. Our waiter was Patrick and he did a great job of keeping up with all of our needs; as well as everybody else's, and he also boasts a great sense of humor. For our meal we had the filet with scallops, red fish with fried green tomatoes, a martini and 2 desserts because we just couldn't choose! The Chocolate creme burlee was spectacular, and the bread pudding beignets were out of this world amazing! The owner also made himself very present and greeted each table and made you feel welcomed and like family. We will definitely be back to eat here in the very near future!
This place was so good.we had scallops for appetizer, then the pork belly salad. I had the blackened red fish with fried green tomatoes. My friend had the steak medallions with scallops. Darrell was our server and was outstanding. The best food and service we have had on our trip to NOLA.
Very nice atmosphere though it might get loud when full. An excellent meal in every way. Great service. Friendly staff. A GREAT, well balanced, wine list. Over 120 different wines. Many by the glass. The Seafood Gumbo was OK. Not oversalted thankfully A very interesting and tasty Oysters Rockefeller. Creamed spinach topped with tender fried oysters. YUM . John would be proud Crawfish and goat cheese crepes were good. Whole Snapper was EXCELLENT as was my friend's Blackened Red Fish Fresh and perfectly grilled The Chocolate Creme Brulee was a first. Good and interesting Thank you folks for a nice meal As good as Pêche was, I prefer the food here!
