I arrived at New Orleans Food and Spirits already angry because I had been in its parking lot twice that night but could not find its sign. There were in fact two or three signs, but one was unlighted, one faced Lapalco (it could not be seen from the parking lot) and one was a half-lighted sign on a stanchion which did not face the parking lot.
We ordered drinks at the bar to calm down, but the bartender had to be instructed on what is a Sauvignon Blanc and I was admonished by the maître d'hôtel for having moved a bar stool one foot to the left. There is not much décor in the waiting area, and the two of us could not be seated without the full party. However, by then the two of us had drinks. The floor looks dirty in the waiting area, although I did not want to investigate too closely.
The four of us had a good server and the food was quite good and quite abundant. She admitted that the restaurant's signage was poor and implied a conflict with the owner/manager of the shopping center.
I recommend the Catfish Looziane because the catfish was fried well. The gumbo that accompanies was made with a good roux and filled with shrimp. The crawfish stew that also accompanies was also tasty, but the three items make too large a supper for most people, even though the price was right at $19.
One sign of a good restaurant is its visibility, but NOFS's cuisine almost made up for its poor visibility.

Awesome lunch with the family, very excited to get to check it out. We waited in the fast moving line and secured a table during the busy lunch rush, and it was a fantastic time. My daughter had a cheeseburger slider and a fried chicken slider, with waffle fries, and wiped it all out. I decided to get the special, the Des Allemanos Fried Catfish sandwich. A sizable serving of fried catfish brushed with "so hot, you want more" sauce, bread & butter pickles and tarragon slaw. Served on a buttered and toasted housemate bun, it was a triumph of a sandwich. I had a cup of coffee, because this location is yet to serve booze. That's a shame, especially in this city. Nevertheless, the donuts were alone worth the trip. My daughter loved her chocolate glazed, and I went with a monster Cookie Butter Brudder, a donut glazed in cookie butter with biscoff cookies, chocolate cookies and chocolate chip cookies. What a delight! Awesome time!

A Craft Coffee roaster in the Heart of New Orleans. Freshly roasted, premium specialty coffee.
Reviewed By Bigredmachine
French Truck Coffee Shop is an excellent choice for a quick breakfast. They have a simply menu with just a few breakfast choices, but the wallet sandwich for about $9 is very good choice. It’s made with egg, ham, goat cheese on a waffle.
They have a reputation of have some of the best coffee in the Warehouse District.
4. Upperline Restaurant

Upperline Restaurant is New Orleans, LA's local haven where tasty Louisiana cuisine, serious wine, and Creole hospitality is always served.
Reviewed By airbag2011 - Sarasota, Florida
While we have been to NOLA many times over several decades this was our first trip to Upper Line.
Reservations have to be made by phone, where the owner informs you that they are not in the Quarter and you can’t walk to the restaurant and it is a cab ride away. Then she tells you that you can eat at 6:15p.m or 8:30p.m., even though you want to make a reservation weeks in advance. She is a successful institution in NOLA and she apparently couldn’t care less whether she attracted new customers or not.
It is pre fixed menu and well priced for (3) courses. Three in our party had Fried Green Tomatos with Shrimp Remoulade which everyone enjoyed. Three of us had the veal Grillades which were excellent but a microscopic portion. One of us had the Rack of Lamb and three of us had the Sundae Eugene and I had Irish coffee.
It was very good meal but hardly worth all the fuss and a taxi ride. As we were leaving regulars were greeting the owner as if she were Julia Child herself.

I had the salted caramel and turtle ice cream and it was delicious! There was a line in the shop and it is cash only but we were not disappointed. The ice cream is flavorful and creamy and the prices were reasonable. I would go back again.

Macaroons are delicious! Gelato was very good, too. Nice area with inside and outside tables. The staff is friendly and helpful in answering questions about all of the things they have to choose from. The eclairs were gorgeous and I wish I could've had a little taste of everything.

Meh. We thought the chocolate would be like a cream or something inside the pastry, but instead the entire thing was as like chocolate powder mixed with the flour. It was okay, I suppose, but not exciting. Don’t see the attraction, considering how many kinds of pastries there are.

Split the chicken schnitzel sandwich and again excellent. Hot fresh cooked pita ...coming out constant..delicious!

Reviewed By Lindsbian - New Orleans, Louisiana
Great little afternoon stop for my wife, my daughter and me. I had the Lomo Bocadillo which was very nice. My wife had the Il Mostro, which was really really good. I preferred hers. My daughter had the rustic grilled cheese with bacon added. A little heavy, but it was pretty decent. They have a good Bloody Mary and a great local craft beer selection. The restaurant itself is cute. We sat outside just because it was a pretty day out but the inside decor and setup is inviting also. The prices are moderate-high so be prepared to spend $12+ on just your sandwich. It’s worth it though. Pickle plate had some great variety and flavors, highly recommend. Really great service. Great experience over all. We’ll be back!
