Came for a small Bday party in the upstairs room and balcony. If you are looking for a venue to sit back with some friends and enjoy a large selection of wine i would recommend this place. the staff was friendly and had a wonderful experience trying new wines.

Everything tasted fantastic and the atmosphere was nice and dark, would highly recommend for that last min dinner date, not too cheap and not too expensive.

Tasting room has such good vibes and good drinks! Jordan, the bartender, knows his stuff and his homemade cocktail syrups are to die for! Always have a good time with friends whenever we go!

Really fun atmosphere with delicious cheese boards and wine flights. The only con we experienced was that they were packed and they were understaffed so we went for long periods without being able to refill our drinks or order food. Definitely no fault of the waitress who was extremely helpful.

Walked in for a reserved seating area outside. None (and I truly mean none) of their employees (bartenders/servers/chef/food runner) were wearing masks. They were also at full capacity. Apparently New Orleans mask mandate and capacity restrictions dont apply to them. There is a safe way to socialize during a pandemic and that was not it. Horrid experience.

Great atmosphere, lovely wine and amazing food!!!! It was a crowded night and there was a mix up that caused a lot of waiting on our behalf-but what I liked most? They acknowledged their mistake, apologized and the chef even came out and apologized and made us this great dessert!! People make mistakes, but it takes a GREAT place and great people to recognize their mistake and apologize. So many businesses forget this and this is what makes the strong ones survive. . When you go, get the grill cheese and fries. Wow, just wow!

Chef Orlando is a rockstar. Love the wine selection and the atmosphere. Brunch is also rocking.

We visited New Orleans recently and wanted to try this place. We came in and waited up front for 15 min or so before we found out it was open seating.... then once we sat down we sat for about another half hour and NO SERVICE. We left without ever spending anything due to no service. This place was very unfriendly and un-unenjoyable. We will never return and would not recommend to anybody visiting. There’s so many great places with good service to waste time on that kind of experience.

We stopped in The Tasting Room for some wine and small plates. Quiet Sunday night with only a few other diners when we arrived, but the tables filled quickly. Large wine selection, delicious small plates. Entree selection was limited, but the restaurants name makes that obvious. Chef Orlando Harris made it a point to stop by our table and visit with us about his creations. The quality and attention to the dishes makes it worth the visit. Everything from our drinks to Orlandos take on bread pudding were incredible. The restaurant has a sophisticated, neighborhood vibe. If we lived in NOLA, wed be regulars. Note that Tuesday nights they throw out the regular menu and offer sushi. Wish I was there this week to try it!

This Chef I call El Chefe is a beast with his craft. He dont play. Ive circled this globe too many times and experienced the finest. Just so happens Orlando is working the skillet of gods.

This used to be one of my go- to spots, atleast once a week up until last night. I had a party of 3, we didn’t have a reservation and had to sit outside. Which was no biggie, they were extremely full to the point they had no seating available. I ordered the Santa Margherita Prosecco 375 mL which was supposed to be $32 and a cheeseboard. It took over 30 minutes to get our glasses of wine. Then over 45 minutes later we eventually got our cheese board. We were not checked up on. I could tell the waitress get sorry and gave us a “shot on the house.” During our 2 hours of being there, there was an altercation with males who were intoxicated in the restaurant. That caused physical violence and severe injuries. As i screamed call 911, the owner or “management” started to come up to me, making me feel very uncomfortable and started stating that he was not calling 911 and that i shouldn’t as well because he didn’t want to be shut down due to not following corona virus guidelines. They were over the maximum capacity. Due to the circumstances, i asked my order to be discounted. They stated they would take off the cheeseboard, and we’d only have to pay for the 1 bottle of wine. Which i thought was fair until i realized they charged me $55 for a supposed to be $32 bottle of wine. So it looks like i was never discounted in the first place. It is very unfortunate that it seems like the owner/management was more worried about his restaurant making money for night and being shut down than a human being’s health. I used to spend a good amount of money biweekly at this restaurant and i will not ever step foot in here again. I advise others to do the same.

Just left this place, and it was absolutely awesome!!! The ambience is fantastic; old school building, great vibe, nice pairing with their music. And, the wine selection is solid, a couple glass choices of all varietals. However, what sets it apart is the service. We had Shana this evening and she was great; a beautiful pairing of knowledge of the menu with suggestions combined with an awesome presence. Definitely ask for her!!!

Review №19

So... Beyond the fact that the waitstaff acted like we were a nuisance by actually ordering anything, the food was incredibly over-priced AND the portions were downright minuscule (almost cartoonishly small). And Im happy to spend my money on good booze, but $77 for just 2 shots of top-shelf tequila?! I suppose they were wise to fleece me the first time, because thats the last dollar Ill be spending there...

Review №24

Used to love this place; was excited about it reopening and went with a few friends today. Wine selection still good. Only mildly disappointed that truffle fries aren’t on the menu anymore. Appetizers and small plates still looks good.Our bartender/server was totally hostile, though. In short, she freaked out when dealing with me and my friends... because people had been asking her about the truffle fries that the restaurant used to have before the remodel. As if regulars are supposed to know that it’s under totally new management. Completely unprofessional and offputting. She stormed away from our table when we were in the middle of asking about a few things, without explanation. When she returned, she said something like “what’s on the menu is what we have” and stormed off again. It’s going to be hard to forget about that anytime soon.

Website says 4-midnight on Monday. Google says the same thing. Take a lyft all the way here at 5pm, theyre just closed. No one answering the phone. No sign. Nothing on their website saying theyll be closed. If you want to be closed when it says youre open, put that on your website. Thanks for the wasted Lyft ride. This is the sort of behavior that gets you less and less customers until you close down and sit and wonder what could have happened to lose you so much business.

You judge a restaurant by its vegetables and its consistency- and the Tasting Room has mastered both. The folks here have knowledge of wine on a profound level. You neednt guess on a bottle; simply tell them what flavor profile you are seeking and they will produce it in a fashion better than you had imagined.The ambiance is delightful.The food is merely a formality away from being James Beard award winning.I look forward to introducing all of my friends and family to The Tasting Room.

Walked in at 4:00 on Saturday. Only one person at the bar but we thought wed try it anyway. Ordered a cheese board & glass of moscato for $37. The wine was good. The 1.5 oz of cheese & 4 pieces of burned toast was an enormous disapointment. The server seemed irritaed to help us b/c she had tonbreak off her conversation with her friend sitting at the bar any time we needed anything.Bottom line- descent wine, over priced & tiny portions with crappy service.

Nice happy hour specials with small bites. We had bubbly and Mac n cheese. The downstairs space is small but decor is interesting. Score a window seat to people watch or a table on the balcony. Great pre dinner choice.

Such an amazing, relaxing atmosphere. The perfect combination of fine wine and delectable food with the best service you could ask for. Absolutely astonished as soon as I walked in the door. Black and white movies projected in the courtyard makes for such a great ambiance when the weather is fitting. Great neighborhood, great establishment - highly recommend.

Simply fantastic. Best meal we had in New Orleans.We accidentally stumbled on this little neighborhood gem. Chef Antonio is truly unbelievable. The heirloom roasted cauliflower was over the top. The puttanesca sauce over mussels was so good we actually used a spoon to drink it up then the red fish entree was simply amazing. Lots of shrimp and just all around goodness. Clean eating with a chef that just gets it. Staff was so nice. Can’t wait to go back.

Wonderful little gem hidden on Magazine st. Amazing wine selectionn and their cheese plate is the best deal Ive seen in New Orleans. We mentioned it was my husbands birthday the next day, and they gave us a very generous sample of their Paella which was delicious. Awesome service and beautiful space. Definitely worth a visit.

Great atmosphere, delicious wine, friendly owners! My only recommendation is that they offer additional non-alcoholic beverages for a little nourishment — but they do have great citrus flavored water on tap. Stop in for a chill time a super convenient area.
