Le Chat Noir

We loved the show we saw there

We made reservations on Resy a few weeks out for dinner on 8/11/23 and received an email notification that the reservation has been cancelled the morning of the dinner date. There was no explanation and no answer at the restaurant when I called. I walked by that evening and it was closed with no sign on the door.

Fantastic restaurant. Beautiful, understated interior. Elegant but practical dishes. Bone marrow and terrine starter is a must. The chef clearly has a vision, I love when there's a real sense of authorship to the dishes and the scope of the menu at a place. You will get that here! My only complaints are small, but had enough impact to affect my rating: Neither my steak or my boyfriend's scallops had a proper sear on the exterior. Both were fully cooked, but lacked that little maillard crust that people (like us) prefer these days. I know steaks need to rest, but mine arrived to me lukewarm. And lastly, the potatoes that came with the steak were overseasoned. They were more like fried potato skins, which can be nice, but next to a steak, I'd like some more potato content. If they'd been cut thicker it would have been an improvement. We'll absolutely be back, though I hope in the meantime that the kitchen irons out a few logistical issues.

Great food. The pork was really tasty. The beef was very good too. Service was fast and efficient.

Probably the best culinary experience of my life. Food is amazing, staff could not be more friendly or accommodating. Can wait to return again and again. Def my new favorite place in NOLA

Wandered in for Saturday happy hour, what an absolute treat! The anchovies/focaccia was insane. We splurged and got two desserts- the baba au rhum was to die for !

Absolutely lovely dining experience with choice ingredients, purposeful preparation, and great staff. We loved the ambiance and watching the chefs prepare the meal from the dining room. I love that you can pick several different small plates and share several things or you can choose the larger entrées. The bread service was so fresh and delicious as well. Will come again!
