" The food here absolutely lives up to its reputation! I came in for dinner, and the lively atmosphere was invigorating. Starting with their famous turtle soup, it was rich and flavorful. My main dish was the lamb chops which were outstanding! The service is attentive without being overwhelming. My only complaint would be the 20% service charge, which felt a bit steep, but didn’t overshadow the wonderful experience I had! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Cafe Sbisa for a celebratory dinner, and I must say, it did not disappoint! The Courtbouillon was rich and packed with flavor, making it a standout dish. The atmosphere was delightful as there was a live band playing soft jazz, which made the evening feel more special. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring our glasses were never empty. We especially loved the dessert bread pudding - it was the perfect ending to our meal! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

I tasted the blackened redfish, which was succulent and cooked just right. The staff were friendly, and you could feel the warmth in their service. I didn’t want to leave this charming spot, and I surely will return next time in NOLA! " (*Curated Review*)

Can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for quality and authenticity! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! tried Cafe Sbisa the other night, and it’s safe to say this is a must-visit when in New Orleans. From the delectable Courtbouillon to the wonderfully fried oysters, everything felt right. The staff was super helpful and friendly, complementing the lovely decor. I would absolutely return, but I suggest making reservations ahead of time. " (*Curated Review*)
