We had a group of 9 and everyone's food was delicious. We did make a same day reservation and got there early. They were very accommodating and were able to get some specials during happy hour. We started with some appetizers. The hush puppies were fluffy and not greasy like other places. The "who dat?" cheese bites are great for people who like spicy, I would have loved them if they had not been that spicy. I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but the sweet potato waffle fries were tasty. The bistro sauce was my favorite of the sauces. I got the shrimp po' boy for my meal and I was not disappointed. The regular French fries were crispy and cooked perfectly. I tried someone else's jambalaya, and it was perfectly spiced and cooked. Everyone said how much they enjoyed their meals. For dessert, we tried most of what was on the menu. If you are going for the authentic New Orleans experience, you should try the beignets. They had a bit too much powered sugar for my liking but it was still good. The key lime pie and creme brulee were both stand outs for me. They were a good portion size as well for sharing. The chocolate cheesecake was good, but just a normal dessert for most restaurants, nothing extra special. When it came to the drinksI was not a fan of the slushie cider, so I traded it with someone else for a hurricane which was delicious. He liked the cider better, so it worked out well. The bayou lemonade was my favorite though. Great atmosphere sitting on the second floor. The copper ceilings and other decor, plus the music, made it seem like a slice of New Orleans dropped right into Tremont. Our server was attentive and accommodating. The food came out quickly, which was surprising for a group of 9. Parking is the only drawback, but we did find some free street parking close by. I would definitely go back, especially during happy hour.

So I recently visited my family up in Cleveland and I really wanted to get out and explore a little more than when I normally visit. Well, I decided to try this restaurant as I frequent Louisiana often and I absolutely love Creole and Cajun style cuisine. Upon entering, this two story establishment I defintitely got the New Orleans vibe. Everything about this place reminded me of the French Quarter, even the Creole music playing in the background. I was excited.Now I understand that this is a long way away from Louisiana, but I figured I'd give it a try. To get straight to the point, in all honesty it was just okay. I started out with a Hurricane, which is a signature Louisiana, especially New Orleans, drink and was highly disappointed. It tasted like an entire glass of pineapple juice. If you've ever had a real Hurricane then you know there's a huge difference, even down to the color (go see my review for Pat O'brien's to see a real Hurricane). I ended up sending the drink back and ordered an Old Fashioned instead, which was very good. For my entree I ordered shrimp and grits. I figured you can't really go wrong with that. Well, it was well below my expectations. I even let my mom taste it and she was more disappointed than me. She ordered a bowl of gumbo. It was slightly better than my shrimp and grits, but left a lot to be desired. Plating and presentation wise, both dishes looked good. I had such high hopes that the taste matches, but alas I was wrong. My daughter decided that she didnt want anything except an order of beignets, which we took to go. These were the highlight of the the entire experience. They were absolutely delicious. If I were to return it would probably only be to try their extensive list of cocktails and for dessert. This seems like it would be a decent place for happy hour.

Recently sat down for brunch and had a lovely time. This space is located in the Tremont area and features a huge menu full of Creole and New Orleans style dishes. After ordering drinks we started off with an order of Hush Puppies and Gator Bites. Bother we’re yummy and came with dipping sauces that complimented the dishes well. For our main entree me and my husband both chose the Fried Chicken and BSBR French Toast. We each ordered the Johnny Famous Gumbo, I selected the Poulet & Andouille (Chicken & Shrimp) and hubby selected the Seafood Gumbo which came with Crab, Shrimp and Crawfish. I ordered two drinks, a Spiced Pair Margarita and a Hurricane. Both were flavorful and I really enjoyed them. BSBR also does Happy Hour Wednesday-Sunday which is cool. The restaurant is huge and you really get the feel that you are dining in a cafe in NOLA. The service was excellent, our server was named Kira, she was such a sweetheart and checked on us nonstop and cleared our table right away and really made our dining experience lovely. I’m reference to opportunities, although the gumbo was flavorful it arrived to our table lukewarm and would have been so much better if it was piping hot. I also found a bay leaf in my gumbo and my hubby had a few shrimp shells. My hubby ordered the Sazarac cocktail and with consideration that we first tried this cocktail in NOLA my husband didn’t feel that the drink was a good representation of the NOLA staple. I also ordered the Red Velvet Torte which is actually a slice of red velvet cake. It has a really yummy raspberry sauce however the cake tasted grainy and wasn’t that good. Overall we had a wonderful time and I’ll give them another try in the future!

This place is beautiful! They didn’t spare on detail that’s for sure. We were lucky enough to be able to sit on the upper level. Our server was super friendly and attentive. I had the interview with a vampire cocktail, it was one of my faves so far. My brother had a manhattan he enjoyed thoroughly. We started with the frog legs. They were thick! Great seasonings and the dip was on point. The cabbage was different. We also ordered the seafood gumbo although I’m pretty positive they brought me the normal gumbo because I didn’t see or taste any seafood in it. It was like a beef stew. Not bad but not what I expected. For dinner I had the shrimp and grits. It was SO good. The bread is exemplary too I could have ate two more loaves of it with my drinks. The dish was pretty decent sized. My brother got the blackened salmon. It was seasoned well and the cups of sauces were wonderful especially the garlic butter one. For desert I had the apple bread pudding and WOW was that a good choice!! 10/10 recommend checking this one out! We went to the one in Tremont, I believe I overheard another table talking about one in Cleveland somewhere, too. Either way this place is wonderful. Next time I’m definitely getting the jambalaya.

First time going and probably won't return. Food was not up to par by any means, I ordered the appetizers seafood gumbo and it tasted like it had been frozen (and had a freezer burnt taste) and just heated in a microwave before being served, gator bites were ok but for the price I should've gotten more because there were only about 8 lil bites. I also ordered the meatloaf for my entree andy children ordered the pork chop and three cheese pasta. Firstly the meatloaf was of mushy consistency like it came from a can with ketchup poured on top, my sons meatloaf was thick and dry and both of our sides which came with our meals were bland and disgusting. We both had brussel sprouts and grits with cheese. Brussel sprouts tasted like they had been soaking in mushy juice all day. Three cheese pasta overly cheesy like they just melted the whole bag of kraft cheese on top. 🤮It just wasn't anywhere near as good as I was hoping it would have been. Over $120 wasted. And only street parking was available which was a nightmare.
