" If you want real NOLA flavors, Cafe Sbisa is the place to be! The food was excellent with high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the love and effort put into each dish. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, making it a lovely spot for dinner. Our waiter was attentive but not intrusive. The only downside was the wait time for a table, which was a little longer than expected on a weekend night. However, it was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nice place with a good vibe. Went there for lunch on a Saturday and had the gumbo and crab cakes. I found both dishes enjoyable but nothing too extraordinary. Service was friendly but there was a delay in getting our food despite not being too busy. Still a solid choice for a casual meal in the quarter. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I was a fan of the atmosphere and jazz music, I felt the food didn’t match the hype. The gumbo was flavorful but overly salty for my taste. The service was attentive, and our server was delightful, helping us navigate the menu. We also ordered a few desserts, and the bread pudding was nice, but not the best I’ve ever had. It was a decent dinner, but I expected more given the rave reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" Perfect end to our mini vacation in New Orleans! Cafe Sbisa did not disappoint. The seafood gumbo was delightful, and the fried catfish was fresh and crispy. I also appreciated the attentive service provided by our waiter, along with the live music enhancing the lovely dining experience. I can’t wait to go back for another occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, a nice experience, but I didn’t find the food to be as impressive as other reviews suggested. I tried the Courtbouillon and found it to be too spicy for my taste. The service was good, and I appreciated the jazz ambiance. If I were to return, I might just stick to simpler options rather than adventurous dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Sbisa is hands down one of my favorites in New Orleans. The food had an authentic Creole flavor that took me back. The redfish special of the day was perfectly cooked. The ambiance was enchanting, especially with the live music. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive, making sure our dining experience was just right. 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*)
