DiCarlo’s Food And Spirits

We eat and dance there weekly. The food is great. The staff is awesome. The dancefloor is perfect. The scenery is unmatched.

Home town place we frequent. Food is good atmosphere is great. Our only complaint is bartenders aren't very friendly. Live music is always a plus

Nice place on the Diversion, clean and very friendly staff. I was visiting from out of state with my friends and looking forward to some really good seafood. My party of 5, who all from the area except me decided to try this place. We were seated on the "outdoors" area. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. My soft shell crab were flat and not very tasty(flat) and my friend that had ordered the same, voiced the same opinion. My sweet potato French fries were perfect though. One friend was very pleased with her fried shrimp but said her martini was not good. Another loved her sloppy roast beef poboy and it was huge! Loaded with roast and big enough for at least two people! My other friend was not impressed with her hamburger. It looked pretty good to me! Hate to say but we probably won't be back.

We love to give restaurants a struggling chance. We have been many times trying different things. Have not given up on them. They just added an outdoor area to dine. Heard they now have live music. Looking forward in going.

The staff is friendly and the brunch is amazing. Had an amazing club sandwich yesterday in their new portion of the restaurant that's by the water -"the back porch" which is absolutely beautiful. They've been having bands on the weekends. It's been a great time. Definitely will be back! It's a great place to relax and hangout with friends!

Never dined in, only ordered to-go a few times. The food was not good, service was nothing special, yet they expect a tip for handing you a bag. When they didn't give us our order correctly, they had us call the next day and they replaced just that item, but it still was nothing special. Bland fried seafood and nasty bland fries, there was nothing special about this seafood platter. Pasta I got was bland, dry and tasteless. It seems like a good spot in a nice location, the place seems clean and looks nice inside from the doorway, but the food is boring special.

I wish I remembered photos could be added. This is the second time though I've picked up Poboys from here. Sucks to I live down the street. Would be nice to be able to pick up some decent food from so close. An I ordered again. Thinking the last time may of been a fluke. Nope that's just that place. I could understand maybe if it was in the middle of a rush of people or something. But, Nope. I made my order both times about 2pm on a Saturday. Before any kind of music is going on etc. a when I get there to pick it up. Theirs not a soul at the place but workers. Quite frankly not sure why they even open so early. But both times. Just very little care goes into making the food. I could imagine the young, compared to me. Workers all bored hanging around talking. An an order comes in. An it messes up their hang out session. So the food is slapped together in the middle of joking around. An it's made just because they had to. Very little barely any mayonnaise. An extremely barely anything of lettuce on it. Than the lettuce. It's like they have the lettuce sitting in a warm container. The lettuce looks old. It's not like it's come out of a cooler type of thing how subway sandwich shop has all their cold ingredients in a refrigerated station it's taken from. So it seems like it's just in bags and or containers that's warm. A should have been thrown out. Or maybe it's due to they open a lot earlier than actual customers come to eat. So when I get my order in. The lettuce has just been sitting around not refrigerated. A since nobody is there that early. It's not used fast enough for it to be fresher. Also. The dressing for the salad was wrong. Their wasn't a sole their. A they got the dressing to that easy order wrong. There was no background pose or anything going on. To have had any mess ups. Aside from that. When I get in there. I'm always standing in the little hallway. Waiting to be able to pay an pick up. Theirs no bell or anything to let anyone know your their. Both times I had to call the places phone. Like I was making an order for the phone to ring. For someone to walk into the back by the register to even know if there. Just all around pathetic. I won't be back again. Theirs a poboy place in Gonzales that is run by Chinese people that made killer shrimp poboys in comparison. Playboys isn't really a Chinese type of a dish. Vs this place that's on a Louisiana waterway. Making a bunch of Louisiana dishes. Hate to even see what the other dishes look like. I did just see the disgusting looking crab cake in the reviews here though. For $41.08 or something about that for a shrimp and oyster poboy an a side salad. 3/4 of the meal was thrown in the trash.

Great atmosphere. The live music is always great. The covered patio is a great place to hang out. The best bloody Mary's I've had!

""DONT BOTHER WITH THIS PLACE ""So we are from California visiting our kids in New Orleans, we are looking up a good restaurant, this restaurant pops up, so we decide to give it a try. It was a group of 8 adults 3 kids and I approach the hosts and say it's gonna be 8 adults 3 kids, 10 minutes later someone approaches us and says, can I help you guys I said we've been helped thank you, apparently we weren't. Five minutes later the same young lady that approach us the second time tells us sorry we don't have space for 11 people. I respond. I'm sorry I see a lot of empty tables.. she responded well I'm sorry there's no tables that we can connect or room. She didn't even offer a waiting time for us. I asked her what are you saying ? you're not going to serve us? She had a completely confused face and said I'm sorry there's no room or space. This is unacceptable. Nobody should feel this way! Shame on the staff they should never make anybody feel this way! You guys treated us as if you were giving us the food or something! I can't believe we even thought of giving you guys are money for that kind of fucking service, excuse my language, but this is upsetting! I put one star because of the live band that was going to be playing!! **Dam the feeing of it possibly being a Racist place is sad/well horrible service**

Tuesday eve bdy Party of (8) the service was just perfect. The little blonde did not mess up one order very attentive. The meatballs, shrimp parmigiana, fried shrimp and grilled chicken/baked potato were great. However, this is the second time we've tried the fried fish, fried mushrooms(hard to mess up), and crab cakes where just so soggy either over fried or under cooked heavy and so greasy. I have read reviews on this, I wish DiCarlo would read because the atmosphere is great! it's too easy to fix/adjust, get a chef when you have competition in the area. 500.00 dollars later the 3 fam including the bdy boy couldn't eat the crab cakes/fish or grilled veggies(too easy). The outside addition I ate at prior to last night was amazing but the floors were disgusting(just sweep up a little between customers) WE WANT DICARLO'S TO THRIVE.
