Canal Street Bistro

Really amazing meal. It was a quiet Monday night so just a few guests as they have recently reopened post-COVID with new menu. Bartender / waiter was very attentive and made me an AMAZING Brand old fashioned. The menu is mostly New Orleans local. All made from scratch and it tastes that way. They had an Indian feature (Butter Chicken) which was quite possibly the best Butter Chicken I have ever eaten. The kind of sauce that makes you put your fingers in the bowl to get the last drops. Crab cakes were perfectly pan fried with a tremendous sauce served with a light touch beneath them. And salad with really tasty fresh grilled shrimp rounded out our meal. Chef came out to visit and we discussed Indian food and his background. Looking forward to more Indian features on the menu! We will be back!

Let me just say the hostess was the best! She was very helpful when I called in with questions. She greeted us warmly and did a great job checking in while we waited on our server. She even followed up after the meal to see how everything went. The food was good. Pictured below is the chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, and duck enchiladas. I had the shrimp and grits. They were tasty, but not necessarily the best I had. The biscuit that came with it was amazing! If the wait wasn't so long from being seated to actually getting our food, I would have given 5 stars.

5 stars for Kara our Bartender/server for 2 days in a row for breakfast. She went out of her way to take great care of us make a specialty pear mimosa for my best friend on her birthday and was just super kind. The lobster crepe was phenomenal, the geaux grits were really awesome And everyone there was super nice we really enjoyed it. Bloody Mary's arwgreat

My wife and I had a later evening meal here. The restaurant was not busy so we were seated right away. The staff was very polite. The food was satisfying but we both agreed that it could have had more flavor/seasoning. We ordered a Mexican style entree. My wife ordered shrimp, and I ordered beef. We would come back and eat if we were in the area again, but nothing really stood out to make us want to go out of our way to eat here again.
