Our first time here, had recommendation from a friend and everything was perfect! Service was above and beyond, drinks were perfect, food was amazing ... were empty plates across the table. Would recommend to anyone!! Find time to introduce yourself to the chef Merlin, who is now the new proud proprietor.

The bartender we had tonight was spectacular. He was a younger gentleman and made my Bittersweet Bellini so perfectly. I came to New Orleans to have a good drink. I had to go uptown to Dick & Jenny's to have the perfect drink and a very memorable experience. Thank you Mr. Bartender. I didn't catch your name but you were working Friday the 13 at 7pm you sir truely are a gem.

It was one of the best meals we had in New Orleans! Definitely the best off the quarter! Make sure you get a reso as we didn't but they did their best to get us a seat at the bar. 2 thumbs up (actually, 5 stars up) for Dick and Jenny's!

We had an absolutely beautiful and exceptional family dinner last night. The staff was excellent but the food was amazing. Seafood Cheesecake, Chargrilled Oysters and Shrimp & Grits as appetizers were all incredible. Drum and Pork as main dishes were exceptional, finished off with Bread Pudding. Will be in my rotation from now on when back in NOLA!

Great food, not sure if it's worth the price - "delicious, but a little boring for the money" was my family's catchphrase for the night. The risotto balls and the blackened drum with crawfish risotto were fabulous! The blueberry panna cotta was also ridiculously good. However, the squash pomodoro was pretty bland and needed the addition of the (very good) shrimp and there wasn't a single wine bottle under $32 - a common thing in NOLA but a little disappointing! (Especially since our white wine was warm....) Mostly delicious, but not if you're on a budget!

Split Decision. We took some friends visiting from Colorado to dinner Friday night, not knowing that there was a new chef at the helm. The menu was slightly different but the food was still amazing. We dined here with a large group a year or so ago for a birthday and everything was so wonderful, we wanted to share this gem with our visitors.
The delicious food couldn't make up for the horrible service we received. We were a party of 6, so we ordered several menu items to share, plus a bottle of wine, cocktails and beers. Not sure if our hipster waiter decided we were going to be cheap tippers because we were sharing items, but as soon as we ordered our entrees, we were left alone for the most part. Dirty appetizer plates were left for the entire meal. He never checked to see if we wanted another round of drinks, we had to wave him over. He checked on us once after entrees were delivered and we never heard from him again. It was very clear that we were celebrating a person's birthday and dessert was never offered. We were his last table in the dining room and sat there with no drinks, no dessert staring at him while he had the bartender make him a cocktail and they shared a laugh during their discussion about their post work plans. I finally had to verbally summon him to our table so we could get the check. He was on top of it then, eager for us to pay. After his fake banter about being from New Orleans, etc, which he isn't, he again went back to his cocktail at the bar and waited for us to exit. We will never return here because of his service or lack of. What an embarrassment to bring our out of town friends here and have them treated like this on their birthday.

It had been some years since I had dined here & I am the one who has been missing out. A sensational culinary show. The chicken & rice soup w/ tarragon was in a class of its own. The escargot app is exquisite. Great service. I can't say enough about my dining experience earlier.

Grand Slam!. A welcoming ambiance accompanied by a delicious array of dishes! Jules, our waitress, was informative, friendly and very attentive. Today my Foodie friend and I had the bruschetta (goat cheese with basil, diced tomato, fried capers, chopped red onion and cold smoked salmon) which was simple and divine. The kitchen bread knife gets a good workout as you9 insure you get all the goodness off the cheese board! The Carpaccio, served with arugula, capers, lemon, shaved parmigiano was good but tough in certain sections. My friend ordered the Gumbo (andouille sausage, chicken and shrimp) as her second course and it had uniquley distinct flavor and was excellent! One of the better gumbos we've had in the city. For our entrees we ordered the Raviolini (black truffle Raviolini, jumbo lump crab meat and Fontina cream sauce) which was a small portion but perfectly served according to the richness. We also ordered the braised short rib with bourbon au jour, served with roasted brussel sprouts and smashed garlic potatoes--this was a FULL plate of goodness--but since we had already thoroughly tantalized our taste buds, there was some to bring home. Tradition called for a shared dessert, which was the bananas foster bread pudding with chocolate rum sauce--warm and rich to the last bite!! We'll be returning to for another great meal for sure, and the GM was glad to hear this when he rounded at our table at the beginning and end of our meal.

Although scared of the new owner ship I ventures to Dick and Jennys to see what the new menu holds
I was presently surprised to see my old favorites such as fried oysters and the stuffed pork on the menu as well as many great additions. In a single statement Dick and Jennys has taken a turn for the better I will be back and tell everyone to do the same

I have eaten at Dick and Jenny's twice in the past week if that tells you anything about the quality of their service and food! From their fried green tomatoes and barbecue shrimp starters to their braised ribs that fell off the bone, I can't say enough about how fabulous this place is for true foodies! The service was impeccable both times I visited, even on a Saturday night during a convention that brought 35k visitors to NOLA. Dick and Jenny, our hat is off to you!

Top 5 in NOLA. Went here last night for my Mom's birthday. This is a place you would definitely want to make a reservation, just a heads up. The waitress was great, our glasses never got half empty. The dining room was busy too. Great wine and cocktail menu. For appetizers we had the fried oysters and fried green tomatoes w/ shrimp, both super fresh and fried to perfection. I had the vegetarian lasagna, it was creamy and the vegetables were so fresh. Seriously the best vegtarian dish I've had since moving to NOLA last summer. Mom had short ribs, meat fell off the bone and was nothing short of delectable. Desserts, whoa. They seriously just raised the bar. My daughter had the ice cream sundae that consisted of 2 chocolate chip cookies that were larger than her head with vanilla creole creamery ice cream in between and hot fudge on top. The waitress described the bread pudding as yumminess, she was right. Overall, this is now in my top 5 restaurants here in NOLA. Hands down. Looking forward to eating her again, and again.

One of the city's best. I've only lived in Nola a few months. One of my coworkers recommended the place when i first moved here and I'm glad they did. Still the best food I've eaten so far.

Uh. Maze. Ing!! Go!! I know it's out of the way from the French quarter, but it's not too far from the all of the shops on magazine and only a block from Tipitina's so take the time to leave the quarter! (It's only about a 10 min cab ride.)I've been here numerous times and I've NEVER been disappointed in anything I've ordered. That says a lot! Service is great, but make a reservation to speed it up!

Dick & Jenny's Very Good. Four of us went to dinner last night and we had a great time. The appetizers we ordered were the Savory Roasted Pablo Pepper & Pepperjack Cheesecake – with Smoked Jalepeno Aioli and Fried Green Tomatoes & Shrimp Remolade – Fried Green Tomatoes Topped with Gulf Shrimp tossed in Stacy’s Remolade & Red Pepper Aioli. Both were very good. The entree's were Gulf Fish Bouillabaise, Stuffed Pork Tenderloin – Goat Cheese & Pine Nut Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with Braised Cabbage, Goat Cheese -Thyme Grits & a Roasted Red Pepper Balsamic Vinaigrette, Abita Braised Beef Short Ribs – With Mac & Cheese, Brown Butter Sautéed Brussels Sprouts & a Spiced Bourbon Demi-Glace and Duck Confit & Louisiana Alligator Sausage – Duck Confit Leg Quarter & Alligator Sausage served with Spaghetti Squash, Southern Greens & a Tangy Orange-Chili Glaze. All the entrees were very good. I have had better short ribs at Del Porto in Covington who cooks them in a red type sauce making them juicier; but otherwise, the short ribs were good. Our server was outstanding. She was low keyed and attentive at the same time. The restaurant has a policy of not doing separate checks so that was a small inconvenience.

Had dinner there tonight. Amazing experience. The escargot was the hands down favorite at the table. Beat fried green tomatoes I've yet to have in the city as well. Totally worth the money. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was the service. The server had a very indifferent attitude towards us and made us feel a little rushed. But the food was so good that I would definitely go back and just hope for a different server.

Consistently good, but know their strengths. After another memorable evening at D&J's, I got curious and checked if anyone had actually ever clicked 'dislike' on their Urbanspoon.

I dined here most recently in late April 2012. I found the same patterns here that I have pretty much every time:

1. Their appetizers/small plates are probably their best strength. Order at least two different ones.
2. Their cheesecake appetizer once again came out piping hot with a delicate crust that makes me consider just ordering the whole pie and calling it a night.
3. They don't seem to mark their wine up as much as any other competitor in town. I appreciate this immensely.
4. When it comes to entrees, the pork and duck options are likely going to trump the seafood options. They have everytime for me. D&J's fish tends to be less flavorable compared to the pork/poultry/beef, their scallops weren't that memorable the time I had them (in 2010), and their BBQ shrimp this last time (2012) was overcooked.
5. I have never had better grits anywhere in the city. Dante's comes very very close, but if there's grillades and grits on the menu at D&J's, you might be kicking yourself if you don't order it. Who knows next time it will be on the menu.

Local Favorite. LOVE this place!
Small, classy, fairly casual place for an amazing dining experience. Great food, unique dishes on a seasonal menu, quality service every time I've been...

They do not take reservations, but have a nice, large enclosed patio area with cocktail service where you can wait for your table. Turns are usually pretty quick, although I've never felt rushed thru a meal.

Not the place to take 20 people from your church group, but a great place for a nice dinner with your signifigant other, mom & dad, old friends, etc.

Real deal. With its eclectic decor, back porch waiting area, and charming wait staff you know you are in NOLA. Menu is a great mix of Southern, Cajun, and Creole, with a few twists (soup of the day was a Thai recipe). Started with a "Buffalo Soldier" bourbon-based mixed drink. Fried oyster appetizer with spicy remoulade was tasty. Entree of braised lamb stew over grits was different than I had pictured but was great. Overall, authentic, unpretentious experience.

Good lawd good!. I'd been thinking about eating here for years and finally pulled the trigger. So glad I did! My girlfriend and I had one of the best all around meals I've had in quite a while, and Dick & Jenny's vaulted itself into my "top 3" of New Orleans list. There's nothing not to like about the place: It's folky, low-key and unpretentious--yet classy--digs just down the road from Tipitina's is a manifestation of everything I love about this city. Our service was impeccable, and the barkeep makes a mean drink. Everything we ate was top-notch, but one thing stood out as possibly a top-15 dish of a lifetime: the fried drum hot-pot. Holy s*%t. Really like a cross between a hotpot, thai green curry, and a creole gumbo, this was one of those flavor combos that you just have to try. The drum was incredibly fresh, and its saltiness played so well off of the sweet, sour, and spiciness of the curry. All of the calimari, crawfish, and bits of other seafood in the hot-pot really put this dish over the top as an absolute must try.

DRINK THE WINE!!!. Went for lunch today (my 1st time having lunch there) & was VERY pleased. As always, the easy, comfortable atmosphere was just what i wanted. For starters & had the mushroom cheesecake w/bleu cheese aioli (?). OMG!!! It was FANTASTIC!!! I was expecting something heavier & was very pleasantly surprised at how light & fluffy it was. For mains, I had the coronary (I THINK that's what it's called). Perfectly fried shrimp, yummy bacon & melted cheese... dressed with other fabulousness. It was HUGE, yet I managed to eat most of it. It was just too yummy to stop. The potato salad (served hot) was SO delicious!!! I didn't see THAT coming in potato salad!!! Lastly, I think that you actually MAKE money if you order from this wine list. It's a very nice selection... not a MASSIVE selection, but there is absolutely something for everyone on there. They have the best prices on wine that I have seen in, well, maybe, forever. Here's the trick... the more expensive the bottle, the better the bargain. If you know wine, then check out the list & you will see what I'm saying. Can't wait to go back!

Love every bite. The only down side is the wait. Reservations only for tables of 5 or more. 1 hour can easily turn in to 2+. Once you get to the table it's on. Food is wonderful with a wide variety of menu items. The menu is definitely rooted in soul/creole cooking, but takes it to places that make this one of the best dinners in any town. Service is friendly and quick. Wine list is good. I think it was worth the wait. A good strategy is to get there early, or ask enough friends to get a reservation.

Fried Green Tomatoes. Thats all ya gotta know. This is a quaint spot just west of the warehouse district, and is one of my favorites. The entire menu offers up local dishes that makes it hard to pick. The wine list is full and completes the menu. Service is some of the best in New Orleans. Just start with the fried green tomatoes and remoulade and work your way down. You'll be glad you did.

Dick and Jenny’s is located along New Orleans’ own Tchoupitoulas street, known for it’s old time New Orleans homes and traditional warehouse architecture. You could almost miss this restaurant, because it blends right in with the homes around it. Inside…homey decor. Reminds me of Grandma’s house…will it compare to grandma’s food?? Breads! Corn Fried Oysters, Southern Coleslaw, and Remoulade. Garlicky Escargot. Sauteed Escargot. Neuske Bacon and Mushrooms. Garlic Butter Reduction. Not your classic French-style escargot, but the touch of bacon and mushrooms was a nice surprise. . Duck Confit and Louisiana Alligator Sauce. Slow cooked duck confit leg quarter.

Thanks to a Living social deals, I was able to eat a full dinner here for under $30 including tax and tip! Look for this bright corner by Tchoupitoulas and Napoleon: Dick and Jenny's walk down the side street (Not Tchoup) to this entrance: the entrance the decor inside was interesting. i liked the plates lining the walls: the lined walls when we sat down, the waittress brought out water and cornbread: i loved the glass jars for our cups cornbread was pretty good We started off with the escargot bowl appetizer. The garlicky escargot is served in a tiny bread bowl (like a bread roll) topped with a smoked mushroom and bacon in a creamy demi-glace. This was a very unique dish. The first time I've ever had something like this. The bacon reminded me of tasso ham, a spicy peppery smoked pork. The sauce was also strongly flavored in the same spicy and smoked manner; a bitter remoulade (a bit too salty

5 stars. Yes. FOOD, service, employee personality, in my neighborhood, all together, add up to A WINNER. The girl who would be my girlfriend and I have been walking by Dick and Jenny's for months, saying "We should try this", but kept walking by. Finally (and thankfully), we did. It's clean, nice atmosphere, not the greatest decor, but ...ok. The servers were polite, friendly, engaging and appreciative of compliments. THE FOOD: Started with a fried green tomatoes appetizer. It comes with a couple of (cold) shrimp and remoulade. The fried green tomatoes were some of the best I've tasted. Light breading, tart, sweet tomato flavor, excellently done to light brown perfection. The shrimp were peeled, and remoulade was excellent. An impressive start. I had the beef short ribs for an entree. Described on the menu as "Braised boneless angus beef short ribs, sauteed chard, garlic mashed potatoes and port wine demi-glace". Yes. It delivers on flavor. The short ribs just pulled apart, no knife needed. Soft, tasty, packed with deliciousness. The mashed potatoes were excellent. The garlic was not overpowering and with the demi-glace was awesome. The chard added a touch of bitter that balanced the sweet of the demi-glace. Satisfaction. Well worth the $26. The girl who would be my girlfriend had the Eggplant rollatini. The eggplant was thinly sliced, and rolled around a mix of ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, wild mushroom and garlic. A delicious tomato-vodka sauce is spooned on top (not swimming in it). Kind of reminded me of manicotti with eggplant instead of pasta being the vessel to hold the ingredients. An excellent dish if you're carb-conscious. This is a great tasting dish. As a side, we had the Sambal-honey roasted brussel sprouts with smoked pork belly. Let me take a second to close my eyes and retaste it in my mind. Mmmmmm. Can't say enough. The best, most flavorful dish of the night. Which is not to take away from any of the other dishes we had. I could have eaten a bowl of this. For dessert, we shared a strawberry panna cotta. Light, smooth mouthfeel, and a subtle sweet taste. Perfect palate cleanser and end to a perfect meal. We told 2 servers how great the food was and they were appreciative of the compliments and said how good it feels to hear it. I stopped by the kitchen and thanked them for a great meal. Dick and Jenny's quickly became one of our favorite neighborhood places.

Being that our names are Dick and Jenni this was a must stop for us! Booked through open table, seated promptly. Our waitress however definitely needed a night off, career change, attitude adjustment or all of the above. She's the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars. The chargrilled oysters were different than anywhere else I've had and surprisingly very good!! We almost ordered more!! The cornbread was really yummy as well!! I didn't have my reading glasses and lo and behold, they brought a bag full to choose from. Genius!! The main entrees were delicious!! My friends got a fish order, I don't even like fish but it was actually really good!! There wasn't a bite of food left I don't think. We'll be back for certain, hopefully with better service though.

Food was very good, service was polite, pleasant and efficient. It was very busy on Friday and Saturday nights of Jazz Fest - make reservations and expect a bit of a wait for food to arrive on a busy night.

This place was highly recommended by a friend so I gave it a try. Nice cozy atmosphere and a friendly helpful staff. I chose the fish which was cooked well but somehow lacked the flavor and spice I hoped it would have. I'd be willing to give it another try next time I'm in town and hope to have a much more memorable meal.

Service was nice, thanks Carey. Crab cake was superb. BBQ shrimp a little disappointing.... More of a roux based shrimp and grits. Gin and tonics didn't come with a lime. When I asked for one, I was given two tiny slices.
