Margaux's Oyster Bar

I love good oysters! Margauxs has choices every time we go. Today they had the usual gulf coast and four choices from the east coast. I tried all four options! So fresh you can taste the difference between them. It's a little pricey but sometimes you have to pay for quality! This is one of our favorite stops downtown!

My friend took me here for happy hour oysters and they were worth it! We ordered two rounds of oysters. We also tried the grilled oysters- New Orleans BBQ. I assume the friendly person we were chatting with was the owner. If you happen to be in this food hall, check out Margaux's!

We devoured the shrimp rolls and the habanero lemongrass oysters, so good ! the staff was very attentive and the service was great! We came on St. Patty's day so it was pretty wild in the cafeteria but I really enjoyed my experience. i'll definitely be back

Located in the very back of Bravery Hall in downtown. Not sure about free parking but it's walkable for those in downtown. You order via a pad and they bring the food to you. Open seating inside. We ordered a few items;Crab dip: 2/5, a bit bland and portions were a bit teenyEscargot: 3/5, sauce wasn't my favorite but it was cooked wellCharbroiled oysters: 3/5, a bit steep at $24 for 6 oysters. They are decent sized so I'll give them that. Not the best flavor/ sauce for their New Orleans sauce.Lobster roll: 3.5/5, not too stiff at $28 and there were real lobster pieces. Toast was well buttered. Wish they left it simple with a mayo based sauce and left it traditional. The brown gravy wasn't my favorite. Overall, it's a good spot for the food hall. Not my favorite spot inside due to the flavor profiles for the dishes I tried. Was a bit pricey for what it was in my opinion, even with inflation.

Came by specifically to try the Char grilled oysters. We tried all three flavors, Nola BBQ, Garlic & Fennel and Chipotle bourbon. Chipotle bourbon by Fay was the best. The bacon and scallop chowder was pretty tasty as well. If your in the area I would say it's a good place but just a bit to far of a trip to make this a "have to do" spot for me.

We were recently in town staying in the medical center and used Yelp to find a dinner spot. We found Margaux, and we're so glad we did. We had a bit of trouble finding the spot because our GPS kept taking us right to it, but we had no idea it was located in Bravery Chef Hall. We are glad we found it, because the whole hall was very cool! Margaux has both bar/counter seating and table seating. We opted for a table because we knew we were going to order several dishes and needed to spread out. We tried a dozen east coast oysters. I wish I could remember which ones, but they were all fabulous. Nice and compact and full of flavor. We had a good selection because we had different levels of brininess and each one was definitely different. We also had the head on shrimp and the fried oyster deviled eggs...both dishes were very good. Shrimp were cooked perfectly and peeled easily which tells us they were very fresh. We rounded out our visit with an order of 18 chargrilled oysters, six of each flavors. they were all so very good and it was hard to pick a favorite; however, if pressed, i loved the garlic and fennel and my hubby was partial to the chipotle bourbon.

Hubby wanted oysters for his bday, so we decided to check this place out. The prices were reasonable, especially their HH oysters, and everything was fresh and delicious. The deviled eggs are a must!

We ate the Prix Fixe dinner for Valentine's Day. We were so impressed!John took great care of us!The fresh oysters on the half shell were amazing (despite our worry that we like unadulterated fresh oysters)!The steak was also amazing. Finishing it off with flourless chocolate cake!We were so over full! Our tummies were so happy and we had leftovers. Love the casual atmosphere too!We will be back for oysters on the half shell again!

This place is tucked inside of a food hall in downtown. it is very cute in the inside and they have like a bar style set up for seating now the service so so. It was hard to communicate because of the language barrier between both employees that was there that I went there on that day. One did not speak English at all, which was fine, but enough about that. I ended up coming here on my birthday to try out their famous oysters and I can say that I was underwhelmed. I tried the New Orleans barbecue oysters, which were good however, they were extremely small in front the price point that was a little disappointing, I tried fried deviled eggs, which had no flavor at all, the crab dip and for the price point it was very small. But I did try some raw oysters and they were OK..

The service was gracious and professional. In addition to the oysters, I had the fish and chips, both were delicious and fresh. This is certainly a place I would recommend and make a return.
