Marti's - New Orleans

We knew nothing about Marti's but chose it because it was close to the Mahalia Jackson Theater. What a lucky find! The setting is elegant, the food was delicious and we would have lingered longer except that we need to get to the show.

Very interesting, diverse menu, great meals, diverse and reasonable wine list. Would be 5 stars for food but a new menu item, fish papillote, just was not ready for prime time.

Some attention needs to be paid here. The food was good and the servers/managers are very nice, but some work needs to be done. The room is lovely, but at the prices of the food and the level of decor, table cloths are a must! I don't even think that those tables are meant to be uncovered. Please decide what you want to be. If it's a bistro, you better lower your prices. If you want to be a fine dining establishment (I'm hoping for this) please get your white linen groove on. Also, black napkins for your black wearing clientele is an important touch. Good luck! We want you to be great, but you are not there, yet....

It was one of the nicest dining experiences I have ever had. The food was great, as was the presentation. The waiter was very personable and helpful.

Everything about the restaurant is great, except for the fact that it is way too noisy. There seems to be little sound absorbing material in the dining room, which could be easily addressed. Service is exceptional.
