Reviews for Miss River in New Orleans, LA

Service: There seemed to be some fundamental error with management, because we had six different people working on our table who... were unable to communicate with each other. The wrong food order was delivered to our table several times and the person runningour food had no idea who got what, so they just randomly gave people things they didn?t order. Everyone was trying their bestand kind, but the issues they were having made for an unpleasant dining experience. Food: Good food is hot and fresh and thefood was served warm, but not hot. The gumbo had the potential to be incredible but it was just past the point of perfect sothat the roux was bitter. The blackened snapper was over cooked, dry, and chewy. The green curry was overly sweet and creamy,and wasn?t spicy - I?m not sure you should call that curry. The collard greens were over cooked and tasteless. Although the foodis served on decent china, the only visually interesting dish was the pirogue, which presented with over cooked shrimp and anunderwhelming sauce. With such a small menu it is important to execute well and when the star of your dish is seafood, it shouldbe cooked to perfection and served fresh which wasn?t our experience. The stunning menu has great potential but unfortunatelydoes not deliver. Overall: This restaurant presents itself as luxurious but the dining experience for us was stressful anduncoordinated. They?ve tried to create an intimate setting but the acoustics don?t work and it was too loud to hear anyone otherthan the person directly next to me. Would not recommend. Read more

Great restaurant inside the Four Seasons. I went for Sunday brunch and it was definitely a 5-star experience. There?s a live... band and the noise level is a 5/5 so don?t expect an intimate quiet conversation. There isn?t anywhere to wait for a table otherthan the bar or beyond the doors standing in the hotel. Parking is validated. Shrimp and grits were good and fish was seasonedwell. The bread and butter left something to be desired but it?s good that you won?t fill up on it. Drinks are generous on thealcohol. The bacon was literally a piece of candy it was so candied. Read more

First time dining at Miss River and will definitely return. The employees were engaged and responsive. The food was a tribute to... New Orleans and delicious. The owners? passion for New Orleans and the Mississippi River is evident throughout the restaurantand the menu. Salt crusted Snapper was 10 out of 10. Baked Alaska culminated a wonderful dinner. Already booked a returnevening in September Read more

Amazing space and atmosphere with okay food that was way too expensive. We got the barbeque shrimp, gumbo, vegetable curry with... rice, and the whole fish. The only thing that was amazing was the gumbo. The shrimp were good, but there's better elsewhere inNew Orleans for cheaper. The curry was fine. The fish was visually amazing but ended up tasting salty without much other flavor.Cocktails were fine. Wine was a pretty good selection but very overpriced. I didn't hate any of the food, but for the price Iwas disappointed. I love saba so I was looking forward to go here. Overall disappointing. Read more

Went there today for brunch, the food was good but service not so much. Chanel was helping with our section, she was very nice... and checked on us. Our main server was Alice T, I wish I had a better experience with her, she did not smile, introduce herself,review the menu, and maybe spoke to us two times, when we placed our order and when we got the bill. I did not feel welcomed byher. We got the chicken to split, it was delicious and juicy! It came with sauces, not sure what they were because Alice didn?ttell us, just placed it in front of us and left, they were ok, some sort of honey. I don?t mind spending a lot for good food,but I do feel that the service should match. For a restaurant in the Four Seasons, I expect better service than Waffle House. Read more

Absolutely one of the finest restaurants in New Orleans. Our 1st time and definitely not our last. Outstanding service and food.... Started with the sweet potato muffins with a variety of toppings. I opted for the Oyster stew which was the best I've ever had.My wife had the crab maison salad. We shared the enormous muffaletta sandwich with truffle fries which was the best decision.Way too much for one person. Read more
