Reviews for Gris-Gris in New Orleans, LA
We roaming around town and ran into this place. We stopped in for some very late lunch. I ordered the shrimp and grits, which... was pretty good. The lunch portion wasn't huge, but a good size. My wife ordered the open faced pot roast, which she thought wasokay, but probably would not order it again. The pumpkin cocktail drinks she got was super weird, definitely something shewouldn't order again. I tried it and I would definitely not consider ordering it. But I suppose if you're a heavy pumpkin lover,it might be worth a try. Read more
Gris-Gris is everything you'd want in your NOLA dining experience. The atmosphere is casually elegant. The food is decadent. The... drinks are reasonably priced, and everyone having one around me was more than enjoying them. The gumbo is a really good dish.It's dark brown roux is a near perfect base for for each ingredient. The bar staff was beyond friendly, and I'd happily returnagain to try more dishes. Read more
After much anticipation, I must say that I was underwhelmed by the food. Gris Gris has a very hip vibe, great service, bar and... cocktails. We sat on the balcony which is absolutely great. Overlooking Magazine street during your dining experience waswonderful. We experienced two good meals with the duck; however, my double cut pork chop was over cooked, dry and lukewarm. Thesame happened to my friend that ordered the rabbit… over-cooked, dry and lukewarm. We tried the BLT oyster appetizer and foundshell in one of the fried oysters and the burnt ends were very tough. Very disappointed. Expected much more from Cook. Read more
We loved this place! We knew we had to stop here after passing it on Magazine Street. The food smelled so good and it’s in a... prime location right on the corner. We were originally wanting a seat on the balcony but got better seats— front row seatingto the main kitchen. We actually watched our meals be prepared and it was a priceless experience for our group. Be sure to makereservations because this restaurant seems to get pretty busy. All the food was phenomenal (especially the Oyster Pie) and thekitchen staff does an amazing job! Kudos! Read more
We happened upon this place while walking down Magazine Street! It looked so nice and smelled so good that we knew we need to... stop here. The food was so delicious my mouth is watering writing about it! We sat at the tables watching the chefs cook and weloved to see them working and making these extravagant dishes!! A super fun and delicious place make sure to come here and makereservations as it gets super busy! Read more
We arrived a bit early for our reservation, but it was no problem...they sat us out on the balcony right away. The food was... delicious but not executed properly all the way across the board. The Chicken&Dumplings had carrots in it that were raw still.And the Oyster BLT appetizer had SO much smoke flavor that it was just about inedible. So, we ended up sending it back and ourserver took it off our bill. The Breaded Shrimp appetizer and the Swordfish&Shrimp Entree were to die for! The staff here areincredibly helpful, attentive, and friendly. I would go back again to try something different. Read more
I can’t say enough great things about this spot! First off, the people that work here are the absolute sweetest and so... accommodating- shoutout to our hostess and server who made us feel like family! Secondly, the food is outstanding- honestlyanything you order will be great (can’t go wrong). They have amazing cocktails and the atmosphere is so inviting. We can’twait to come back here next time we are in the city (any every time after that)! Read more
Another great local Creole inspired place. The lunch here is good and well portioned. I enjoyed the oysters, in both BLT and Po... boy forms! Very lightly battered and not overfried, the protein was still quite tender. The seasoning is quite salty overallthough at this place, so be careful of that if you're sensitive. Well sizes portions and great for sharing! Read more
