I don't normally look at what others have said about a place BEFORE I write my review, but this time I did. Is it because I was the out-of-towner, unsure of the local expectations? Had I lost my self confidence? Did I lose my 'pair?' Dunno. But really, based upon what others had written, we must have gotten to this restaurant 1/2 hour after the owner showed up. Why? Because our waiter was there right away, and was able to explain to a northerner (...um, a North Carolina-er) what Abita was, and at least tried to explain the difference in their brews. The filé gumbo was hot and delicious, and plentiful. (Fer cryin' out loud, I grew up on Long Island in the 60's - and I'd always wanted to know what that song was all about!)... Our waiter visited us three times, each time just when we wanted him, and was courteous, friendly and appropriate. Did I find anything to complain about? Yeah, but the fly that buzzed our table was probably just making the rounds at all of the restaurants with outdoor seating. No dessert. (My babe was just achin' for some of those wonderful pralines at Sally's, just down the block.) And the acid test: Would I go there again? YEAH! As a matter of fact, I look forward to it, next time I'm down in the Big Easy. (I've always WANTED to say that!!) Oh - the only real negative was the bathroom. You have to scamper up three or four flights of stairs just to get there - so if you're having lunch with your dear ol' mom in a walker, this is NOT the place for you!

Don't believe those bad reviews! So the interior is old, who cares...sit on their beautiful patio overlooking the french market! Our waiter, Alvin, was so attentive and friendly and brought us samples of the food to help us decide what to order! The jambalaya was fantastic, the gumbo yummy and spicy and the bisque soup was some of the best I've had.!! The red beans and rice w the sausage was mmmmmm! Great drinks too! Go!

It truly breaks my heart to give one star to ANY restaurant around the French Quarter because we have eaten at SO MANY places there and have, generally, found GREAT food. But, I can't even justify this place getting TWO stars and Yelp won't let you do half, because the gumbo was the ONLY thing that might've bumped it up by that much. We saw Montrel's while walking around the French Market. We had already eaten so we were going to try it the next night. Why, oh why I didn't look it up on here, first, I'll never know - but I wish I had! When we walked back there the next night, we also noticed another cafe across the street. The guy at Montrel's gave us this big shpeel about his and one other family being the only two "original" families to open restaurants in New Orleans. He gave a great pitch about his food, his passion, his.....why do I get suckered by these charlatans??? So, we get seated.........and that was that......we waited a good 15 minutes before ANYbody came to us. Oh, there are waiters o' plenty buzzing around, taking orders, delivering food. It's a busy place. But, that's no excuse for waiting that long for initial service. After the second time of, "I'll be right back to take y'all's order," I was set to leave when this little waitress came along and asked if we were ready to order. Are you kidding?? So, I ordered a cup of gumbo, the jambalaya (I almost have to try this dish at every place - a benchmark for me) and, oh yeah, some ICED TEA since NObody bothered to at least get THAT. My wife ordered the pork chop. Again, wait, wait, wait, wait, buzzing around, "it's coming out soon," wait, wait, more buzzing around, "it's almost ready." This is the longest we've ever had to wait at any restaurant. Even the biggest, busiest ones are faster than this! Finally our order arrives! The gumbo was tasty, I will give them an ounce of credit on that one. There was some really spicy sausage in it so, if you have a weak palate, be forewarned. But, that ended up being the peak of the dinner. The tea was stale, the jambalaya was BLAND and had some weird SAUCE on it! Seriously??? My wife's pork chop looked like it had been done in the oven with Shake-and-Bake! It was tender, but the coating was weak and not crispy and the only flavor for the chop. We SHOULD'VE gotten a basket of bread with the order (like everyone else seemed to be getting). We asked and the waitress said they were making more bread in the back and it would be just a moment. Sure. Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait, and all the while we see waiters going by with baskets of bread!! We asked again, and she gives us the same story, "oh it's almost ready, I'll go check." Still nothing. I asked her why I'm seeing other waiters go by with bread and she said, "oh they're getting it from another kitchen and I'm not allowed in there." WHAT??? That is the most assinine thing I'd ever heard. And that was the final straw of the night. From the "maitre d'" to the lack of service, to the lackluster food, this restaurant is a TRAP in every sense. No, I will not give it a second try. At these prices, if you don't grab me at the first go, forget it! Maybe the only reason this place is still open is because it IS one of the two original families, but they won't be staying open with my help!

Went here after some shopping at the French Market. The displayed food and steaming cooker made this place drew us in. We decided to get a mid afternoon snack. Location is definitely working for this restaurant. There were probably 2-3 tables with customers at the most (3pm) Might be busier toward the peak eating times. Service was friendly and attentive. We saw crawfish on the menu and ordered a plate roughly 2.5lbs. The crawfish tasted good and large size. Overall, it wasn't wow... just good. Satisfied our crawfish-in-NOLA craving a little bit. Didn't order anything else other than Abita Purple Haze beers. So my rating is a solid 3 for our experience. *Crawfish wasn't in season during our trip.... a bit sad, but there's more seafood to try.

Okay. Let me tell you this much...IF AND WHEN THIS PLACE IMPROVES ON THEIR SERVICE. IT WILL BE A 5 STAR RESTAURANT. That may not be fair to say, being that it looks like they've only been in business for a month or so and I think our waitress might have been about 12% retarded. But seriously folks, Montrel's is ANOTHER restaurant in New Orleans that shouldn't be taken lightly! Let's get the bad out of the way... 1) The Owner/Manager who was outside of the place, soliciting Montrel's reminded me of a car salesman. Nice guy but trying way to hard to get business. 2) The table we were seated at was very "wobbly". Either my friend or I had to both be leaning on the table or not. But not one or the other. 3) The restrooms are 3 flights of stairs above the restaurant. 4) Our waitress: A) Didn't know the specials (Actual response was "We don't really cook anything special here") B) Took 12 minutes to find/bring us hot sauce C) Over charged us about $30.00 (no joke) Believe it or not, I still give this place 4 stars...why? THE FOOD WAS STILL EXCELLENT!!! Look at the pictures I uploaded. Their presentation does minimal justice to the taste. We started with the crab cakes w/shrimp sauce and I also had a cup of the crawfish bisque. Both were delicious. For our entrees, I had the Grilled Redfish with Garlic Mashed potatoes. Fish was tender, yet crispy on the edges. Perfect. Lightly salt & peppered, with a hint of garlic & rosemary. My friend had the Southern Fried Chicken with what they call "Macaroni & Cheese" but is actually spaghetti noodles with cheese. He commented that the chicken was perfectly seasoned, lightly battered, not drenched in flour. They both came with some kind of vegetable medley in a tomato based sauce. We probably would've ordered dessert, if our waitress remembered she was serving us... Luckily for us, I noticed that $78 was a tad bit much for a 2 person lunch tab. Luckily for them, the car salesman/owner/manager cleared it up... 4 stars, nothing more, nothing less.

Best fried chicken in NOLA! That was the highlight here. My crawfish bisque was also great. The crawfish etoufee, on the other hand, was served cold and wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped. My husband got the burger, which he liked, but it was heavily spiced, so if you're trying to escape those creole spices (God know why you'd want to!), look elsewhere.

Wanted Jambalaya. The menu advertised it as made with chicken, sausage and shrimp. What was served to me was a few spoonfuls of rice with a couple shrimp on top. (see photos) Disappointed. My dining partner got the shrimp creole and let me taste that and it was much better. Our server was a little flighty but he did come by to notice that we needed drink refills soon enough. And yes, the restrooms are up many steps, so keep that in mind. The saving grace for us was that we sat outside, the weather was lovely, and we could hear the live music from across the street.

Awesome way to finish out my wife and I's vacation to da Bayou. We visited the Bistro back in August and were initially lured in by the saucy spicy smell of the Craw fish boiling on the curbside. We were sat outside on the patio and to be honest it's a little shabby but in a fun way. I for the life of me can't remember our server's name, but we were lucky as he was the only one who really seemed to care about us as the customer and our experience. We split about 15 or so craw fish and then a fried shrimp Po-Boy. Food was actually pretty decent definitely not bad. The highlight of the meal was our server's lesson on how to "Properly Eat" a craw fish. He explained to us how to twist off the head of the craw fish, eat the meat and then "You godda suck da juuuices outa da head". After the meal was over he presented us with a little "Certificate" made out of receipt paper for "Successful completion of Crawfish Eating 101". A nice little scrapbook memoir. While the food is not 5 star and the decor and setting is sub-par. The over-all experience was fun and we left with our bellys full and content. Check this place out, it may add a smile to your day while in New Orleans.

Based on some reviews, I had lower expectations for Montrel's Bistro. My friend and myself went around lunch time, seeing a very long line at Cafe Du Monde. We got seated with no problem and received service immediately. We ordered drinks and preceded to order appetizers, Crab Cakes. They were alright, the flavor gets redundant after a few bites. I've had better in Cali. The sauce on top was pretty tasty, gravey-esq. I'm very disappointed in their beer selection on tap, besides Abita Amber, if I remember correctly, they had like bud and coors or miller. Terrible! Besides the beer on tap bothering me, we ordered pretty quickly and they brought everything out pretty quickly. I hadn't even had 2 bites out of my crab cakes and my main dish was served. It's like they read some reviews here and sped up their service. I wanted to relax and they made me feel rushed. I ordered the jumbalaya and was disappointed in the lack of shrimp and sausage, it was mostly rice. And though I know its on the spicy side, it was too spicy to really enjoy. I also ordered a cup of crawfish bisque, which I thought was tasty, though a little salty. I also tried my friend's crawfish et tu fe and it was pretty tasty. A fair amount of crawfish with a darker gravey-esq sauce and white rice. In all, service was fine. Food was ok. Drinks were disappointing. Ambiance was alright. Almost 3 stars, but not quite. Definitely has potential to get to 3 or 4 stars.

We ate on their patio one late morning for breakfast because our original plan had been to go to Cafe du Monde but the line that crossed from one side of Jackson Square to the other deterred us. We were drawn in by their cute little patio and their $5.99 breakfast platter. Can't beat that! Our breakfast platter came with eggs in the style of our choice, a slice of toast, bacon or sausage (we went with bacon), hasbrowns and savory grits. None of each option was a huge portion so the whole breakfast plate came together to be quite filling, that plus the chickory coffee with some of their homemade creamer made it a nice breakfast. None of the food was "out of this world" great, but it was all homestyle and tasty. We were actually impressed by the grits, so I guess we caught them on a good day. The reason I'm rating them only three stars? The service! No one is particularly friendly, but I wouldn't say they're rude they just kind of ignore you. They talk to each other a lot but it took FOREVER to get our order taken, to get our first cup of coffee, even though we were there an hour and a half we only got one refill on the coffee and it sat empty for a long time and we asked for help several times. When it came time for the check we almost just walked it because we had asked to pay so many times it was getting ridiculous. I didn't have a lot of free time on this trip to New Orleans and had I wanted to just sit and enjoy the people watching that would have been fine, but I found it a little annoying. Want pretty good, cheap breakfasty food? Great option. Want it fast? Go somewhere else!
