Mr. B’s Bistro (New Orleans, LA)

Mr. B’s Bistro feels like stepping into 1930s New Orleans. We went for a client dinner and loved the old-school atmosphere, thoughtful service, truffle fries, and jambalaya pasta. Next time, I’m getting the famous BBQ shrimp—bib and all.

We were in town for a work conference (staying at the Sheraton on Canal, about a mile from the convention center) and needed a client-dinner spot. Mr. B’s delivered. It is fancy but reasonably priced, and did not serve up tourist-crap food. This would be at the top of my list for our next visit!

The vibe: old school, classy, felt like we were walking into 1930. You can’t beat the old school charm and glamour of Mr. B’s Bistro. The whole experience is just what you’d imagine a NOLA night out to be -somehow the perfect blend of hospitality and sophistication while making you feel right at home. Loved the music, the lighting, the decor, the service – and of course, the food.

What we’d order again: Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc — California style, crisp without that New Zealand grassiness I can’t stand — truffle fries for the table, and the jambalaya pasta.

What we’ll order next time: Since this was a work dinner, I skipped the famous BBQ shrimp. It arrives with a bib and a pile of hand wipes. Incredible, I’m sure — but not a client-dinner dish
