5/5 Pimms Cup - very well balanced cocktail! 4.5/5 Fried Okra 4/5 Cheese Grits 4.5/5 Jambalaya -- really enjoyed this! Well seasoned with spices and a tiny kick of heat, shrimp was perfectly tender, rice was not overcooked! 4.5/5 Fried Platter (oyster, shrimp, catfish, fries) -- enjoyed the variety in this platter, fried seasoned coating is thin and crispy, a very enjoyable eating experience! 5/5 Beignets -- super thin crisp crust with a very moist, soft, and fluffy interior! 4/5 Bananas Foster Bread Pudding

First time visiting French Quarter and it certainly won’t be the last! I ordered the Crescent City Punch- it was the perfect mix of strong and fruity. My friend and I couldn’t decide on one appetizer, so we opted for two! The Voodoo Fried Okra and Popcorn Shrimp were delicious. Lastly for my entree I ordered the Creole Jambalaya- very flavorful and filling. Can’t wait to visit again!

Definitely worth the Dining experience.... I suggest ordering the hush puppies as an appetizer along with a shrimp cocktail.. and if shrimp is your go to food, I definitely would try the shrimp scampi and the jambalaya was incredible!

We (table of six) ate at the French Quarter restaurant last night. The hostess was welcoming. The waiter came right over to the table and started pouring waters and passing out menus. We were waiting for our sixth member and it was no issue for the waiter at all. He took drink orders, checked in on us and was just so pleasant and professional. We ordered four appetizers and they were all incredible. Everyone loved their dinners. Plenty of food on each plate. We were trying to catch a show next door so the waiter brought the check right over and then ran our card promptly. We are so thrilled that we had made dinner reservations at the French Quarter. We all said we would be very happy to eat there again.

Firstly, if you don't like cajun or Louisiana inspired food - French Quarter food is not for you. With that said, I initially saw this restaurant on TikTok and I had to check it out. I made a reservation and I was happy to know the restaurant was wheelchair accessible. On our first visit, we ordered Hush Puppies and Cajun Tequila Wings for appetizers. My son ordered the Crawfish Benedict and the Pain Perdu. I ordered The French Quarter Omelet. My partner ordered the Creole Red Jambalaya. The food just melted in my mouth. The food was well seasoned. It was the best "comfort food" and I absolutely enjoyed every bite! There was not one complaint at the table not even from my picky son. We totally enjoyed having Colin as our waiter. We learned the history of the restaurant. We came back the next weekend with my daughter. This time we had Alejandro as our waiter. The host was great too. I love everything about the French Quarter...the food, the service and the vibe! I learned that I have to give my kids a budget. LOL!

Great little restaurant. The menu had all of the classical creole dishes. A lot of unique cocktails. Unfortunately, when I went, their draft beer system was broken. So, I went with the FQ Gin and Tonic. It was wonderful. I had the jambalaya with rice for my entree. Lots of chicken and sausage. But would like to have seen more shrimp. It was not very spicy. I would order it again.

This is a great establishment when it comes to downtown Boston eating. The food is well prepared, although not very filling (jambalaya being a delicious exception). The popcorn shrimp was not a traditional one. However, it was still good nonetheless. The shrimp and grits were great, although the grits were quite creamy, more than is typically seen in grits, but I'm not complaining. They were very good. The shrimp was quite honestly amazing and a great part of this meal. The jambalaya looked and tasted delicious with a great blend of flavours. The service and atmosphere were great. However, the washroom was in a weird basement in which you had to take an elevator to, and was a bit inconvenient. The place was overall great eating, and I absolutely would recommend it. 5/5
