Just ate here for dinner tonight based on the other reviews. It was delicious! We shared the lobster cakes and mozzarella sticks for appetizers, I had the lobster for dinner, and my husband and daughter both got the chicken pasta, then we finished it off with the homemade bread pudding. EVERYTHING had a delicious and unique flavor to it. We got there around 5pm and were able to be seated immediately (Wednesday evening). Definitely recommend!

Underrated place on Canal Street. Quiet on a Sunday evening but wow the food was good. The NOLA selection of gumbo, jambalaya and beans with the biscuit was delicious. Grilled chicken salad was great as a lighter option.

So grateful to have met Juliana and found out about this gem on our last night in town. It was so good we came back for breakfast the next morning, too! An unassuming little spot on the main strip, we were met with a relaxing, homey vibe, with the most genuine staff and incredible food. Lazar was a lovely server at dinner, and Juliana was fantastic at breakfast. She has gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome, making sure we were comfortable and helping to give recommendations around town. Feels like we made a new friend!

Let me tell you about the scrumptious meal I had at Zesty Creole, the newly opened restaurant in New Orleans! I ordered the salmon, and it was simply divine. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the fish was cooked to perfection. I must say, it was one of the best salmon dishes I’ve ever tasted in this city. The ambiance of the restaurant was also delightful, with its warm and inviting decor. If you’re looking for a new spot to try in New Orleans, Zesty Creole is definitely worth a visit!

Newly opened location with very friendly/welcoming staff. Our server, Eva, was perfect. She was friendly and always checked on us. When she wasn’t checking on us, someone else was. Good prices especially for the amount of food you get. I had the alligator omelet (scrambled) with grits and a buttermilk biscuit. It was delicious! Definitely coming back again!!

BIG EASY BBQ
We were an vacation and we were looking for a breakfast restaurant. We went by Zesty Creole which looked new open and a lady outside showed us the menu. Inside we were lovely welcomed and were seated. The menu has everything for breakfast lunch and dinner. We tried breakfast first, oyster omelett. It was so delicious. We went there for many times more and tried nearly everything, po boy, gumbo, fries, seafood omelett. Everything was great and fair prices. The staff is great. Thank you all having a good time in your restaurant. We will come again next year.

Cute and clean place, but the food was outrageously salty. We got the taste of NOLA which comes with gumbo, jambalaya, beans and rice, a biscuit, and fried green tomatoes. The spices were there but the saltiness was so much that it was hard to eat. Needs to cut back about 150% on the salt. Also got the banana pudding and that was very yummy and came out hot. Also a little pricier than most other places around.
