This restaurant is in the Hotel Monteleone. It's very contemporary. The service was great. While I'm frankly not a fan of creole food, my friend enjoyed her dinner. I loved the creme brulee in a crust. It was wonderful!
We went to some pretty great restaurants rated much higher on Tripadvisor but this was by far the best!! Located right next to the Carousel Bar in the Hotel Monteleone. Service was impeccable. Best Lemon Drop Martini of any restaurant in the South. You can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu. The bread pudding is "slap to mamma good"--...

My wife and I had a late lunch at this restaurant yesterday. The atmosphere was bright and clean, the service was attentive and the food was fresh. I had a cup of the seafood gumbo and a shrimp special, both were very nice. My wife had a Cajun burger that she enjoyed. This is a great place to have lunch.
PRO'S: a Creole modernization, nice room, nice lobby bar, good wine list, good service & representation of food online, open kitchen
CON'S: order was off, no BD (they fixed it). Fairly priced (compared to Boston market). They are still a little new-ish.
TIP'S: lump crab & avacado app, monkfish. I would feel more comfortable over-dressed than under-dressed for dinner. Go...

The rest of our meal was somewhat better but not worth the price considering the dinning options...

Just had breakfast here but it was very good, lots of variety, quality food, very pleasant service, comfy table/chairs; pretty place. My husband loved their coffee.
Pretty good breakfast overall. The Bloody Mary was watery; I do not recommend. The spa egg white omelet was good, but the yogurt parfait was he best part. Small menu. Buffett looked ok, but not exciting.
We visited Criollo for a romantic dinner after a wild night on Bourbon street. What a great, lively hotel. The restaurant is its own super star!
John, our smiling waiter from Alabama, was uber-friendly and well-versed on all of the elegant dishes. Noteable appetizers and beautiful flavors blended together with care. The seafood is among the freshest we have ever...

Went for Easter Sunday had reservations for 10:45am. The restaurant was very nice, service seemed unattentive and had to ask for cream for coffee, spoon to stir, water refill. Also, server didn't mention they would closing or not refilling the traditional brunch due to Easter Brunch being served at noon to 3:30pm and should have recommended we order from menu....
