Absolutely loved it!!! The chargrilled oysters were to die for with plenty of other menu options to choose from as well. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The rum drinks were *chef’s kiss*, overall would recommend.
We had our wedding reception dinner at Royal House this past Halloween.
We came in like a wrecking ball with our second line behind us and our Grand Marshall walking us all the way into the restaurant. Royal House doesn’t take reservations, but the GM Manny along with our amazing server Tremaine accommodated our unexpected group of 16 immediately.
Manny chatted up my husband for a good while and oversaw everything to make sure we were taken care of, while Tremaine was the most upbeat, energetic, jovial, and positive server I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with.
The food was delicious and the overall vibe was superb. So much so that my husband and I decided to revisit a few days later. Michael was our server this visit and he was just as attentive and exuded professionalism and positivity.
Royal House is always a must on any of our trips to the quarter, and will continue to be so. To Manny, Tremaine, and Michael, thank you for making our wedding/wedding trip and memorable one.

My mom and I’s last dinner at New Orleans back in January was such a treat! They seated us on the balcony and it was quiet and serene! The food came quick and was amazing! The fried oyster platter and blackened redfish were so flavorful and filling! 10/10 would recommend and revisit again.
Stopped by for lunch while visiting New Orleans. It was a great choice with a great view and great food. Here are some thoughts:
Environment
This space was huge. Tons of seating downstairs and seating upstairs with options to seat on the balcony. It's located right in the middle of the quarters and easy to access. When we were there it was plenty chill and relaxed, a beautiful space with great decor.
Service
The service was warm and welcoming. Our server made sure I had everything I needed and was very quick and efficient in providing service. Very friendly and made us feel like we were at home and not just visiting.
Food and Drinks
The food was pretty good. I had the gator poboy w/ fries and a side of hush puppies and my friends had the oysters.
gator po boy and fries -- the gator po boy was great! I'm now a big fan of gator. So tasty and delicious and will easily fill you up. Loved it. The fries were pretty good and crispy with good flavor.
hush puppies - They were decent. I can be particular about hush puppies so it probably just wasn't my preference.
Overall
Really enjoyed our time here. The food was good and I left curious to come back and try other things on their menu. Will definitely come back.

The BEST red beans and rice in New Orleans. My friends also loved the oysters here the most. The service is great, place is small but the food and service made up for it. We went there twice in the 4 days we were there. Must go!
Celebrating 34 years!!! The food, atmosphere and service was excellent. Demetrius was our server. Everything he recommended was great and so was his hospitality and service. We will definitely recommend and be back.
Not only are they open early for breakfast, but the service and food were top-notch. My omelette Acadiana was amazing. Added mushrooms and they were seared and amazing. The bottomless mimosas were excellent. The coffee is REAL coffee, not some American dirty water.
Special shout-out to Ada on Thursday morning. She was attentive and made great suggestions. I felt taken care of without being smothered.
Great view of the square. Will definitely come again.

We had breakfast at Royal House Restaurant. Unfortunately for us it was a bit too warm outside to enjoy the balcony. Our food was good and the portions they serve are huge. We found the service was just a bit flat but certainly adequate. Overall this was an enjoyable just not memorable experience.
