My significant other and I went here for our 3 year anniversary. If I had the power to give this establishment a Michelin star, I would without hesitation! I have never had such unique and special dining experience before. The food AND drinks were DIVINE. All staff were very friendly and very well versed with the menu. I believe what made the experience so memorable was our waitress, Nancy. She ensured we had a proper celebration complete with champagne, dessert (with a candle for a little extra celebratory flare), an off menu amuse bouche, and many more special surprises. Anything we could have possibly wanted was tended to. I could not recommend this establishment more. It is a little expensive, but worth every penny. This is not just a restaurant but an experience! Not to mention the beautiful location with an outstanding view of the Mississippi River along the entire back portion of the establishment! WOW, I would I’m left speechless but me and my significant other cannot stop talking about this place! Lol
Our server was Ashley, man she’s amazing!! She did everything to accommodate us, she was very patient, kind and understanding, we loved her🙏🏾. The food is great, just the creamed spinach that was lil watery, but besides that, it was great
It was our family’s first time in New Orleans, and we didn’t have good luck with our Christmas Eve dinner choice at a very old, pretentious, tourist-trap-like restaurant. However, our Christmas dinner turned out to be fabulous thanks to Chemin à la Mer! The vibe, impeccable service, and quality of each dish were outstanding. All of us truly enjoyed everything—from the appetizers to the main dishes and desserts. Chemin à la Mer shows exactly what a top restaurant should do for its guests.
Meh. Overpriced faux fancy food. I’ll stick to the Chandelier Bar food. Crème brûlée and horchata shots was the only good pick. Olive bread - no Gumbo- dark roux color right but everything else WRONG NO Shrimp and grit cake? - smh no Never returning
Went there for a farewell and birthday dinner. Everything was amazing, The food is amazing, i like the crawfish Gratin. And especially our server, she’s amazing and generous. Handling a party of 10 must be challenging but she lit that night! ❤️ Thanks Pam!
