French Quarter Grille - Austin

Firstly the wait list is a joke. Why call ahead of time just to still wait an additional 30 minutes, we called ahead purposely asking for the wait time and to be put on the list. While seated there, the dingy atmosphere lighting covered up the poorlyrenovated interior. Once seated it took 30 minutes to receive a diet coke and a hurricane from an empty bar with staff seeminglydoing nothing. The cliental was aged, which explains why each plate was bland. The waitress was rude and gave me a seriously as an answer when she brought the check before asking if we wanted desert. I only order the desert because it was award-winning . I do not recommend anyone to come to this place and will not be returning to allow any form of redemption. Weentered at 7:30pm and left at 9:00pm. I imagine they bring the greatest shame to actual French Quarter District.

I walked in looking like I might skip on the check and was still seated and served very well, I was not expecting to find such an upscale place at this location, food was awesome tasting, I had the Calamari, the complimentary roll and butter just meltedin my mouth, I have no idea what they season the butter with but it was soooo tasty. I will come back here again, not alonethough, this seems like the perfect spot for a couple to call their favorite restaurant!

Great place to take your date. I love the art, the French cuisine, the jazz music, not to mention the food! The New Orleans vibe! Try the tilapia fish and steak?? and the chocolate creme Brulee ????

Tasty foods! Great selection of seafood and good sides. Bread is decent. Had the grilled ribeye with caramelized onions and mushrooms. Great flavors without overwhelming the taste of the meat. Had the red fish special with spicy sauce and it wasseasoned very well. Service was great. Only odd thing was the layout of the restaurant. Some tables have cloths, some don't,the establishment is partitioned into 2 areas with no real rhyme or reason.

Delicious meal enjoyed in a very nice bar setting perfect for solo diners. Friendly bartender service. The gumbo excellent and filling, the beef shrimp cheese tortellini was delicious and chocolate crème raspberry brûlée phenomenal! The restaurantis cozy upscale and appears perfect for a business party or romantic meal. So many wines to choose from as well as a full bar.
