Came straight for the airport for the crawfish beignets. Also ordered the gumbo to make a dinner of it. Crawfish beignets are very tasty but the filling had too much sauce to crawfish for me especially since the sauce was similar if not the same as the dipping sauce. Loved the gumbo though would have been nice in a bigger portion size. Great service and was surprised area street parking was free on a week night according to the payment app I was forced to download when I entered the zone.

More like a 3.5. Was staying at the hotel Kimpton and had breakfast here one morning. Husband got the eggs your way platter and I got the avo toast. We also got a side of grits and fruit. Total was a whopping $61-very pricy.Portions were really small for the prices and service was okish and very slow compared to the rest of the hotel. There were only 3 tables full at breakfast so no reason for the slow service.My avo toast was just a slice of whole wheat bread (seemed store bought) with a very thin layer of smashed avocado and 2 spiral of cucumber. Looked fancy but not worth the $17 price tag.Husband's egg platter was better but still small.

King is in one of our favorite hotels in New Orleans, so it has become an automatic go-to for us because it is convenient and we have generally gotten breakfast with our room as either part of our room rate or as an IHG Diamond member. If we went on food alone, it would make sense that this was our go-to. If we went on most other things (e.g., timeliness, organization, consistency of service), it would not make sense.Let me explain. I've never had bad food here. Ever. And I've probably tried 75% of the brunch menu at this point. The food is generally solid, and even though there are a few things that are better than others (e.g., burger over the big breakfast, frittata over croque monsieur, crawfish beignets over oysters), you won't go wrong with the food. It's excellent.The biggest issue - and it's a consistent one - is the general management and efficiency of the restaurant. Our last visit took 2.25 hours in total with a moderately "crowded" place. A tale out order placed while we were at our table took more than an hour. There seems to be actual clarity about how things flow and what's going on, and that hasn't gotten much better (or at all) over time.Fix those things - and consistently so - and this would be a solid 4/4.5, maybe 5 stars.

King Brasserie is like the French Riviera and New Orleans got tipsy, made a bouillabaisse baby, and fed it steak frites. The vibe is so charming you'll feel underdressed even in your best outfit. And the sweet potato crème brûlée? It's so different but so good!

I stayed in the Kimpton Hotel where King Brasserie is located so I had breakfast here daily and a Hurricane. I will start with the drink. The hurricanes were so good. Nothing like syrupy sweet drinks that you find at other places. It was so well balanced. Now to the food everything I ate was delicious, even the oatmeal, the oatmeal!

This was a big surprise for me. Had never heard of it but it was on the Coolinary site. It's a little tricky to find. It's the restaurant affiliated with the Hotel Fontenot. Arrived at 12:30 for the brunch and we were literally the only guests which made me nervous. Not a good sign. However I was dead wrong. It's an attractive space. Started off with crawfish beignets which were served very hot. A cheesy mess inside. Fantastic. Arugula salad with fried anchovies, Parm and breadcrumbs. We all had Oyster BLTs which were dynamite. Very hot freshly fried oysters, bacon, lettuce and tomato and green goddess dressing. Very generous portion of perfectly cooked fries. Yum. Chef complimented us a trio of sorbet--, vanilla, fresh peach and chocolate. Just the perfect amount. It closes after lunch and reopens at 5. We parked in lot across the street.

Very laid back environment with really great food and service. Also probably one of the best burgers I've ever had! We ordered the whole fish and the croquettes too, so good. The fish had bones so it was definitely some work but it was simply cooked and had a lot of flavor. Centrally located so easy to get to and worth the visit

We came here on a busy holiday (Christmas) for dinner and were wowed by the food, cocktails, and service. | Food |- 5 stars: bread service with whipped butter, extra virgin olive oil, and caviar tapenade. The bread was so fresh, as was the olive oil. The herb butter was like magic (and I don't usually rave about butter).- 5 stars: the arugula and anchovy salad. The lemon-caper dressing elevated this simple salad into a mouth-watering palate starter. - 3 stars: the gnocchi was overdone but had good flavor.| Cocktails |- 5 stars: S.S. Georgie. Their take on an Old Fashioned, with bourbon, creme de cacao, cinnamon and black walnut bitters. This was luxurious sipping cocktail.- 5 stars: Blackjack in Monte Carlo. If you are a gin lover this is the cocktail for you! With gin, fernet, amaro, pink peppercorn and star anise bitters. The description on their menu perfectly describes it as "herbaceous, botanical and balanced".| Service |The friendly and efficient service by Dymond, on a super busy evening, made this a 5-star overall experience. The busboys were also great.

First time and I tried the brunch on Sunday! Great experience, great staff & service, and the food / French/nola cuisine was delicious. Brunch menu had a great variety of options to choose from. Enjoyed the Croque Madam on croissant which I thoroughly enjoyed as well as the Quiche Lorraine was delicious with the fresh green salad on the side and of course mimosas. Also had the crawfish beignets which were so yummy. Since it was my first time I also wanted to try the happy hour menu - ordered the cheese plate 2 cheeses with the accoutrements and the decadent chocolate & caramel dessert. Happy hour cocktails - made to perfection...ordered the King & Queen!!! So yummy. Would definitely go back again to try the dinner menu. Love the location in the Hotel Fontenot and the fresh vibe of the restaurant. Chef came out a few times to present a few dishes which was a nice touch. Can't wait to go back abs try a few more options.

Absolutely horrible experience. This is mainly a pick up bar. It is extremely noisy, and they pipe in more noise to make it unbearable. Our waitress was snooty and got everything wrong. The food was almost tasteless and really greasy and our desert was stale and couldn't be cut even with a steak knife. Stay away!
