Briquette

Oh, Briquette. From our enthusiastic waiter Darryl, to the delectable courses, to the owner, AJ “Papi”, treating us to complimentary dessert wine to close out our meal, it was such a wonderful experience. I can’t speak highly enough of the food. I’ve gotten the snapper pontchartrain twice and it seems to get better each time. As I write this a week later, I still crave the fresh fried fish, lump crab, and hollandaise all in one bite. It’s savory and perfectly complimentary. The seared scallops nestled atop a lightly fried goat cheese grit cake are even better. Few bites of food have made me close my eyes to thoroughly cherish every note and flavor. This is one of those dishes. I felt like Remy the rat from Ratatouille when he tried cheese for the first time. Briquette is certainly worthy of dinner plans next time you’re in New Orleans. We hope to be back soon. Until then, we dream of the buttery bites of goodness.

I was very impressed with the food here. I regret not tasting the jumbo, the Rockefeller oysters were def a must. It was rather hard to get a beer there though. Lots of wines and cocktails. Waiter was very kind and worked very hard. Only thing is they can’t itemize a bill and a huge party will have to put in on 2-3 card max

Overall great experience. I visited here for my birthday. I'm from Massachusetts and this was one of the few spots that sells scallops. I really wanted scallops. Highly recommend going here if you like seafood and want to try a higher quality side of New Orleans. Typically you'll pay around $60-$90 which isn't bad for a more eloquent experience. The only reason for the 4 stars is because of the lack of butter on the steak. The steak was well seasoned however, it needed butter on top to keep it juicy and flavorful. I paired my meal with a nice light mas la chevalière chardonnay. I hope this review helps. Let me know what you think!

Up there as of the best meals we've had here which is saying a lot. Casual. We shared the luscious crawfish crepe and ordered the Visiting whole fish - Snapper, Redfish Ponchartrain, and Blackened Redfish. We made room for dessert with their homemade King cake with Creole cream cheese ice cream which was heavenly. Great selection of wines and cocktails. Even reading their drinks menu was fun. Overall, great dinner!

First I walked in and thought I might’ve been underdressed. Beautiful place. The lady seating us later found out was the owner. She was polite and smiled when we walked in. Assured me we were welcomed. Rishnell our server made our whole experience. Smiled the whole time, was very sweet even offered us a to take a picture to document our moment here, served the food fast with exact requests, we even talked a little about our last names. He made this place home. He even separated our gumbo between two people. Just the extra mile!! Such a a sweet server. I’d like to talk all about the food but I’d be returning for the service more so!! Food is good! Im from Lafayette though so I really would like a little more seasoning in the crusts of the fried foods (but I’m Cajun) lol.. gumbo was 10/10 and I recommend!!

Wow! Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection, not one single complaint from any of my group ( even my 8year old tore the fried catfish up). It's quite fancy and a little pricey but so worth it. There was barely anyone in there on Sunday night, but that place should have been packed. And our waiter was amazing! He gave real recommendations and guided us all to the perfect meal. Will definitely be back whenever I'm in New Orleans.
