Restaurants near Martin Luther King Junior Park

Food was exceptional. First time to LPG. Last of our four dinners this time in NOLA and arguably the best- which includes Commander’s Palace as competition. The element that put it over the top was Lucy, our server, who went above and beyond in guiding us through the menu and checking with the chef regarding our questions. She was exceptional. Our favorites of our selections were the crab beignets, the pan roasted chicken breast, the shrimp and grits, and the peach tart. La Petite Grocery will be a priority destination on our next trip.

Absolutely fantastic dining experience-personable and attentive service, superb food, and fun/hip atmosphere! We enjoyed the following: antipasto, headcheese (the chow chow was delish!), caesar salad, roasted carrots, broccolini (incredible!), Rigatoni (healthy portion), Tortelloni (wish there was more it was so good!), Canneloni (out of this world), Lasagna (delicious but a smaller portion), and Duck (tender, flavorful, wonderful). The desserts did not disappoint either-pana cotta and the seasonal strawberry mille feuille. Jaime's knowledge of Italian wines and pairings were impressive, especially accommodating a variety of wine preferences at our table. The diners observed throughout the restaurant ranged from girls' night, dates, and family gatherings (some inclusive of younger children seemingly also pleased with their dining experience and a well-rounded palate). Add JE to your list of go-to experiences; you won't be disappointed.

Superior never fails. A straightforward elevated version of local classics and creative takes. Oysters raw and chargrilled are the heros but so many delicious bites and cocktails.

Very impressive! The menu, food, decor all vie to out do each other. There is a price to pay for excellence, but it is worth every dollar. I wish there was some way to lessen the noise, but that’s my only criticism.

Went to Luke for happy hour and early dinner on a recommendation from a friend. The food is outstanding. We shared Peruvian scallops, tuna tartare and crispy Brussels sprouts. The scallops were especially delicious. Drinks were also excellent and you cannot beat the value during happy hour.
