The Grill Room at Windsor Court — Restaurant in New Orleans

One of the fine place for food in the city with a old history but remember you might want to order lot of food if you are hungry as the portions are very small. But first lets talk about the location which is inside the windsor court hotel this restaurant is located at the first floor with a beautiful entrance doorman opening door for you light music playing at the background next to the restaurant as there is a bar . Since this is located close to river walk mall or behind the ceasars casino hotel its at the very quiet place so very good spot for talking with business clients and romatic dinner.

Food & beverage - great presentation but very small portion as we will see that in a photo i will post not great option for vegetarians except mushroom. When i ordered appetizers and maincourse i did not have any option so i ended up getting mushrooms both the time. The most disappointing food was scallops appetizer i would say our AMUSE was bigger than that. Great selection of wines and drinks as expected in a fine dinning restaurant i would say check the wine menu at home if you wanna save your time. Fantastic dessert.

Service- service was excellent EXCEPT when my two other friends told our waiter that we will share the scallops he should have told us that its a tasting portion :D lol my friends ended up eating up bread twice to fill them up. We ordered a nice white wine for $100 which waiter always kept an eye on us he poured wine and water always at the right time. Waiter was not friendly or interactive but he was very professional no doubt about that !! The best touch of the waiter was little breakfast rolls which we got after we paid our check.

Atmosphere- beautiful lighting, nice view from the first floor, very comfortable chairs, white table cloth everything was spotless. Hostess greeted at the door and very welcoming, carpets were very clean and soft. Over all great place to go for a date and...

Worst food we ate during our visit to New Orleans - including at the airport. We paid $200 for dinner for two people. The Raw salad was the only thing the group of 16 agreed was decent. The French onion soup was insanely salty, the squid was not only lacking any flavor even with the sauce (only enough for half maybe). The last piece was so awfully chewy I was barely able to chew the bite I took and skipped finishing it. The mushroom “steak” were basically three pieces of mushroom half the size of a shrimp. My main dish was the Duck breast ordered medium by everyone in our party was extremely overcooked and dry. The beef tartare was so overpowered by ginger that I was unable to taste any other flavors, including the beef. Also, I know wine is typically overpriced when sold by the glass, however, I was recommended a wine that costs less than $20 a bottle often, yet expecting the quality glass of wine I expected was cheap. Charging $20 for a glass of wine that is so cheap is not a good look. I expect quality and shouldn’t need to make a scene bc staff assumed I didn’t understand wine.

We are a group of 16 artists. We were very dressed up, however as artists our style is a bit more alternative than the average person. Tables were separated and preset despite a reservation for 16, for 7 at each. Some staff was quite rude judging based on our appearances. Despite everyone being quite appropriately dressed and all of us being quite successful found their behavior offensive at best. Unfortunately, due to such a poor dinner, I ordered dessert in hopes they may redeem themselves. The house made biscotti with my cappuccino turned out to be really the only good part of the menu. The caramel mousse was as disappointing as dinner. It was dense, overly sweet and lacking the expected flavors. Go...

We dined at the Grill Room for lunch and two breakfasts. Helen, the hostess, was gracious and remembered our name the next day for breakfast. Sara, the waitress, kept our coffee topped off and remembered that I liked the beignets.

The Berries and Yogurt and Acai Bowl (with acai sorbet) came with Greek yogurt, a generous amount of delicious granola and a lovely number of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. They were very substantial and filling. We liked the beignets better than Cafe du Monde.

For lunch, we were impressed with the $25 special which features a main dish with a choice of three sides. The large number of sides all looked so enticing that it was hard to choose. I got the shrimp with beet walnut salad with ricotta, soup du jour, and truffle macaroni and cheese. All the dishes came arranged on one large square plate in smaller plates or bowls. It was like having a hardy tasting menu. The truffle macaroni and cheese and beet walnut salad with ricotta were my favorites. The Grill Room also makes a most excellent Lemon Drop martini - smooth with just the right balance of sweetness and tart, no strong alcohol taste but the effects do sneak up on you by time you start your the second drink.

The ambiance of the restaurant with the windows overlooking the courtyard with the view of the St. George statue and ivy covered walls shaded by the lovely green, delicate leaves and the elegant setting inside with the paintings and smooth tablecloths makes a wonderful breakfast, lunch or wonderful place to celebrate or to...
