8 Block Kitchen & Bar

This is an all you can eat breakfast buffet. It is expensive but conveniently located within the Hyatt Hotel. The customer service was outstanding. Our waitress provided outstanding customer service. There were plenty of options to choose from. The food was delicious. I gave 4 stars and not 5 because the omelette and waffle station was horrible. I did not get the omelette and waffle I ordered the first time and had to complete a second card. I waited over 30 minutes before getting the omelette and waffle that I ordered. My family waited over an hour to get theirs. The manager apologized for the omelette and waffle station and fully refunded our money. I do not recommend the omelette and waffle station. I do recommend this restaurant at this location.

I want to truly thank 8 block for the most wonderful meal I've ever had in New Orleans. I guess I should clarify. My wife and I showed up to 8 Block and stood there for nearly 45 minutes waiting to be seated. After reaching a point of being tired of waiting we decided to leave and head down the road to Baronne Bistro where we had what turned out to be one of the best dinners we've ever had in New Orleans so thank you 8 Block, maybe you can send others to have a wonderful evening as well.

I had the gumbo/rice, with a side of spicy chicken flat bread, and chocolate cheesecake, yummy! I also had a mixed drink 🍸, not sure what it was? But it was good! I didn't feel like driving to grab something to eat, and decided on eating at the hotel.. very convenient and worth it! (This isn't a buffet) Thank you, Hung! (Gumbo obviously wasn't authentic, but it was convenient) 4 stars for the service, drink and cheesecake.

This is a really nice lunch option close by one of the locations where I work. This is a buffet but think a NOLA style buffet. On the buffet are options like red beans and rice, gumbo, just to list a couple of options. The buffet is broken into a number of sections, a salad bar, sandwich bar, soup bar, dessert bar and an entree bar. To top this off, there is also an option, with the full buffet, to create your own entree where you pick options from a menu card provided. The food is really good and service is awesome to boot. For me create your own entree, I chose, Pan fried salmon with sweet potato gnocchi.

Food is ok but service is not very good sometimes, waited to get table , waited for server , waited for server to get omlette card , waited for omlette, finally got myself, server finally came back for coffee, asked manager for sugar free syrup and she said she would get and never saw her again , server finally checked and they didn't have any , 2nd visit was a lot better , service was better and faster , also tried for lunch and liked the buffet , thank you!
