Wow! Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection, not one single complaint from any of my group ( even my 8year old tore the fried catfish up). It's quite fancy and a little pricey but so worth it. There was barely anyone in there on Sunday night, but that place should have been packed. And our waiter was amazing! He gave real recommendations and guided us all to the perfect meal. Will definitely be back whenever I'm in New Orleans.
This place was top notch. The wait staff was extremely knowledgeable about menu and offered selections based off our preferences. Tried several different selections from the menu. They all were amazing. Sat next to the kitchen window and could see our food being prepared, which was great. Went for early dinner, which meant it was quiet and not crowded.
Oh, Briquette. From our enthusiastic waiter Darryl, to the delectable courses, to the owner, AJ “Papi”, treating us to complimentary dessert wine to close out our meal, it was such a wonderful experience.
I can’t speak highly enough of the food. I’ve gotten the snapper pontchartrain twice and it seems to get better each time. As I write this a week later, I still crave the fresh fried fish, lump crab, and hollandaise all in one bite. It’s savory and perfectly complimentary.
The seared scallops nestled atop a lightly fried goat cheese grit cake are even better. Few bites of food have made me close my eyes to thoroughly cherish every note and flavor. This is one of those dishes. I felt like Remy the rat from Ratatouille when he tried cheese for the first time.
Briquette is certainly worthy of dinner plans next time you’re in New Orleans. We hope to be back soon. Until then, we dream of the buttery bites of goodness.
