In my work neighborhood! A gem of a restaurant!!

Jan 2020 • couples

I have driven by this restaurant numerous times. It is situated in a tiny strip mall in the Scarlett road and east drive area. I am so glad I decided to check it out. I first googled it and noticed it was fantastically rated. We tried to go two times before but one time it was closed due to holiday and the other it was not open yet for dinner. We finally went there yesterday. What a treat. So content. I ordered the sea bass and my husband the striploin steak and we asked for a topping of shrimp to make it a surf and turf. It is the best sea bass I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, seasoned but not too salty. My grilled veg were perfect and the rice was tasty. The crab cakes are a must. What a gem of a restaurant. Pricing is what is in line with a good steakhouse but not too overly priced. Also the service is impeccable. We were only 2 ppl and went at opening. Due to the size of the restaurant, I could see you would need reservations. Thank you. We will be back!

Amazing food, less impressive service

Apr 2022 • family

A friend took us here as she had previously enjoyed a meal here. We ordered the calamari appetizer, very tasty. Our table had jambalaya for 2, seafood pasta and the tenderloin steak. The food was phenomenal! I am not the biggest fan of spicy food ( prefer flavour to heat) my pasta sauce was modified with a little cream added to the creole sauce. It was the best seafood pasta I’ve ever had. The shrimp was tender and tasty, the fish too was very flakey and tender. My son loved his steak and the jambalaya was impressive in both flavour and size. Beignets and pecan pie rounded out the dining experience. Decor is very quaint with musical instruments on the walls and framed pictures. Restaurant was very busy with all the tables occupied. If I had to say where they could improve it would be in 2 things. 1)Another server/busser to fill our water glasses, take away plates and package up any leftovers for us to take home. We weren’t able to finish the jambalaya and it was taken away, we assumed it would be packaged up for us to enjoy tomorrow, but it wasn’t. What a waste. 2)Invest in a nespresso or keurig. Only option for coffee was expresso or latte. The option of having a nice decaf coffee or tea with dessert would have made the impossibly long wait for our bill a bit more tolerable. The wrap up of the evening was less than impressive.

Lovely cozy dining room. Delicious crab cakes, coconut shrimp, seafood jambalaya. Great service . However, the steak was a bit tough & the potatoes had an unbelievably spicy seasoning that was very uncomfortable to eat. Good wine options!

Perfect dining experience - will be back!

Feb 2020 • family

Presentation of food, flavours, temperature of food, and hospitality is spot on here! Jambalaya and coconut shrimp were the best I’ve had anywhere. The owner is the nicest guy, made special accommodation for our family of four to split up appetizers and very nice personal touch at the end of the meal with the bill. Everything is spotless clean. The glasses were sparkling clean, the plates and interesting dishes all looked brand new. Was a pleasure to dine here and will definitely be back.

How this restaurant got to number two in Toronto I have no idea. Perhaps it was good once but not any more. Five of us had made a reservation for 8pm. Firstly there were no parking places anywhere near the restaurant. Secondly they were not checking anybody's covid vaccination certificates to eat in the restaurant. Our table was not ready so we had to wait over half an hour to get seated, then a further half an hour to get water and menus. We ordered the coconut shrimp and the crab cakes as starters, these took another 30 minutes to arrive. The shrimp were good but the crab cakes were mushy and tasted funny. Our main courses took another 30 minutes to arrive. By this time it was after 10pm. Three of us ordered filet steak, one rare and the other two medium rare, well when they arrived the steaks were all well done. We complained to the owner but all he said was "sorry", pretty bad for a supposed steak house. Dozens of other steak houses in Toronto are much better. They have a new tent out front so they can seat more diners, but with only three wait staff they are really falling short. We will never be returning to this restaurant.

Such a Treat!

Apr 2021 • none

Having moved away from the GTA several years ago we have always missed our favourite restaurant and the beautiful meals and service we would have when dining at New Orleans Seafood and Steak. So when our kids surprised us with dinner for 6 this past weekend we were delighted! Even after travelling for almost 2 hours, all of our meals were excellent and exactly as we remembered them. Jambalaya, Shrimp Creole, Fisherman’s Plate, Gumbo ya ya, calamari, coconut shrimp and Caesar salads. What a feast!! Even homemade beignets! Don’t hesitate to order takeout until you can have the full experience of dining there when COVID restrictions are lifted. You won’t be disappointed!

Exquisitely Delicious!

Sep 2020 • none

A friend treated me to a birthday dinner catered by this restaurant. We were unable to eat at the restaurant for personal reasons, but the food was delivered to me at my apartment. There are few words to explain fully the deliciousness of everything I had: coconut shrimp cooked to perfection with a horseradish/orange dressing; salad served in a bowl fashioned out of a single long full cucumber slice served with a scrumptious, light vinaigrette; strip loin steak grilled to perfection, tender and juicy with a tasty peppercorn gravy and wonderfully fresh and freshly grilled vegetables. As a treat, the chef tucked in tiny, cloud-like pastries. All and everything splendid. I'll order from them myself, again and again, and if ever the coronavirus is no longer a factor, I'll dine in at New Orleans.

Exceptional restaurant

Apr 2022 • none

Although we live on Etobicoke, this was our first time at New Orleans Seafood and Steakhouse. The calamari and coconut shrimp appetizers were delicious and presented beautifully. Our shrimp creole and blackened grouper entrées were to die for. Owner Mike was attentive to our every need and service was impeccable in every regard. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back! A truly wonderful find.

The best seafood, steak and guest service in Toronto

Dec 2022 • family

For anyone who remembers Sammy's Seafood Creole on Lakeshore Blvd when it was known for amazing ambiance and distinguished food you need to go here. It's ten times better, and Mike the manager and host is extremely friendly and knows how to make people feel at home. My family and I have gone here on a few occasions and we continue to do so even though it's out of our way. Beer battered coconut shrimp, jambalaya, crab cakes are my favourites on the signature menu. Last time I was there I chose the steak of the day and the demiglace and vegetable accompliments were cooked to perfection. For anyone who wants the best of the best in Toronto this is not only a hidden gem, but a place to indulge and enjoy because of the incredible food and beyond exceptional guest service. I work at a 5 star Marriott hotel in Toronto I send guests here on a regular basis, and always receive praise for the reference. Thank you New Orleans for never letting my reference fail.

Surprise

Excellent restaurant in an unexpected location. Great atmosphere, Jazz pictures, and instruments on the walls, and great jazz music. Fantastic food and service. When we asked to share an appetizer it came individually on two plates. Nice touch. Crab cakes are great, and so are other dishes.

Delicious high end dining in an elegant decor. Perfect to impress a date, or treat yourself.

Dec 2023 • solo

I showed up minutes after they opened on a Friday. The manager explained that they were fully booked for the evening, but that he had one table available until the reservation arrived at 6:00. I promised to be gone before 6:00, and he seated me. They brought hot bread and butter to start. I had a glass of wine with a combination plate dinner with broiled fish, calamari and battered shrimp with rice and steamed veggies. Absolutely outstanding! Followed by hot pecan pie for dessert. I made fairly quick work of the excellent food and was out before 6:00. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Toronto, with a reservation, to include an appetizer and eat at a more leisurely pace. More money than I generally spend on myself for dinner, but worth every penny.

Amazing birthday dinner

Sep 2022 • none

Had dinner last night at New Orleans Seafood and Steakhouse. The atmosphere, food, drinks and service were all outstanding. We had a larger party (7 people), but all meals were served hot and fresh. We will definitely be going back. And the after dinner drink was the cherry on top. Thank you so much for making my special day so much more special.

Wonderful Food and Service

Sep 2022 • none

We have been looking for a restaurant in the GTA that serves New Orleans style of food. We found a little gem that everyone should try and you won't regret it. The restaurant is a family run business and Mike and his family are charming hosts, delightful! Starters included a tasty Caesar Salad, with crispy fresh romaine and freshly shaved Parmigiano Reggiano that was well balanced. The Cajun Calamari were made to perfection and very tender. The Coconut Beer Shrimp was nicely balanced and not too sweet. The Seafood Gumbo was a bit on the thin side but had good flavour. The mains were terrific, three of us had the delicious, melt in your mouth Chilean Sea Bass which was reasonably priced to boot! Our youngest likes steak and he had the blackened strip loin with green peppercorn sauce. The steak was tender and better than the steak he had at Hy's downtown earlier this year. To end the evening we had Beignet's, Bananas Foster, Pecan Pie and Crème Caramel. Mike provided complimentary after dinner aperitifs which was a surprise and a nice touch. We will be back!

delicious food

Oct 2020 • none

The restaurant is located in a micro strip mall, might even miss it. It’s a cozy little place, New Orleans style decor. We always have an appetizer and this time we had the crab cakes and the Cajun calamari. Both were amazing. We had the Beef Tenderloin and the Rack of Lamb for the main. Both were delicious. The rack of lamb undoubtedly one of the best we’ve had. The Cajun spices, blackened, just does the trick. Creme caramel for dinner is our favourite, soft and melts in your mouth. The service is always perfect. The people are so nice. Both time, the owner came by to see how things are, and chatted with us. Perfect evening.

Excellent in all Ways!

Oct 2023 • couples

We managed to get a reservation for 5:30 on a Saturday thinking we must be beating the rush. The place was half full when we arrived and quickly filled up just after. Many families enjoying special celebrations and all ages. They were also busy preparing packages of food for take out. Amazing what they were turning out from that kitchen.Well staffed and attentive with frequent checking from the owner. Hot bread was served and water was topped up regularly. Cajun mussels are a must try. Delicious sauce that contained a variety of thinly sliced vegetables. Nice way to savour more of the sauce as you scoop up these veggies. Blackened chicken breasts with green peppercorn sauce , tender crisp vegetables and roasted potatoes were served piping hot and ample portions. Equally enjoyed was the special that night of lamb chops. Everything was beautifully plated and it was fun to watch other dishes come out with many unique bowls, plates and platters. We were also offered a complimentary liqueur after dinner. It has been awhile since we have come here and we won’t wait as long for our next visit. Different price points on the menu but definitely high quality throughout.
