Editorial Review for Bourbon Street Bar and Grille – by Joshua M. Bernstein
In Short
Bring some glitzy beads to this sprawling, split-level N'awlins-inspired bar--wrought-iron balustrades, flickering gas lamps and fleur-de-lis aplenty--smack-dab in the middle of midtown's pre-theater restaurant row. Grab a table beside the crowd of shopping-bag-toting tourists and testosterone-fueled dudes watching sporting events on high-def TVs, or take to the long mahogany bar for a pint of Louisiana's own dark Abita Turbodog beer.
Hits: You'll catch all the games while devouring surprisingly decent bar food and sipping brews rarely glimpsed outside of the Big Easy.
Misses: You may be surprised by how much it costs to drink and dine in bar that's chock full of tourists and sports-watching louts.

We only recently came accross this street having moved to NY last year, lots of varied restaurants and bars. I visited Bourbon Street after a show,(coupon in playbill caught my attentnion). The food was good , nice steaks and fish and there was a very nice athmosphere in the main area. We had requested a table upstairs on the balcony but there was a long wait. maybe next time. We didn't stay for dessert as it was late after a show but I'd like to try the whole deal soon,
Pros: Good food.
Cons: Balcony too small

Wow, as soon as you step into this place you feel transported to N'awlins!!! The ambience is awesome, even from the street when you spot those gas laterns burning you get the sense of what you are in for. I saw the news posted on this site & had to try this place. My girlfried & I ate their today (5/24/08) and we were not let done. The food was AUTHENTIC, we asked & our waitress told us the Chef was from New Orleans & you taste it. I have been to New Orleans a few times so I was able to compare. I also love cooking this food based on recipe books so I have a good idea. We had the crab cake (tasted fresh from the sea) and gator for appetizers, seafood gumbo (there was a bunch of whole juicy oysters in there as well as shrimp) pretty much every spoonful you got some seafood so they were not cheap, ceaser salad, then for entries fried catfish (tender & melted in your mouth, not sure how he did it) and fried oysters (ok we went crazy on fried stuff I know but it was sooooo good & their menu goes well beyond stuff like that, nice creole choice on the menu too), then for desert beignets of course. We met the GM of the place & he comp'd us 2 free drinks which was awesome (had a great mint julip). The wait staff was friendly, prompt & attentive. We left stuft & can't wait to go back. I will be spreading the word to family & friends, we need this place to stick around for a long time (it is on like restaurant row on 46th so I am sure it is pretty competitive).
Pros: Ambience, Service, Food & Drink Quality
