Stick around for dessert and the Amaro list. We will be coming back again!”

Herbsaint

701 St Charles Ave, New Orleans, LA 70130 | (504) 524-4114

Here’s what one diner says about Herbsaint: “The food deserve 5 stars, but I had to go with 4 because when we ate, almost everything was quite too salty. However we got there at almost 9pm with no reservation, and still they managed to give us a table, which was awesome. For VEGANS don’t be afraid to come eat here, the chef will prepare something at his discretion. And what I go it was Soo Good! My husband asked for 3 portion of short ribs, that’s how much he enjoyed them. My husband actually returned a dish back because it was too salty, and we appreciate that we were not charged for it. Service could have been more personable, but no complaints.”

As visitors to New Orleans I will say NOLA Caye is a very nice place. The waitress was a little off beat at first(not the most pleasant),however she eventually was very good. Yes,a nice tip was left. The restaurant is very pretty and offers a subtle charm. I loved the brick walls. Our food was delicious. As a travel agent I will definitely recommend the restaurant to my travel clients visiting the beautiful city.”
