Ralph's on the Park

Excellent service. The two course luncheon was a wonderful experience of tastes and sensations. The atmosphere was friendly, elegant, and relaxed. The clientele as well were friendly and engaging. Excellent spot to experience Nola hospitality.

Our daughter and son in law made reservations for us because they had been several times. Staff were very welcoming and our server was precisely attentive enough without intruding. The ribeye was among the best we have had, and I make a good one at home. They were out of the swordfish on the menu, but the amberjack they substituted was excellent. We finished this festival of gluttony sharing the 9 layer Doberge cake. I recommend everything we tried.

The food was fine. Nothing innovative, sauces were executed properly and meats were grilled or sautéed as they should be - not exceptional in any way but I’m sure would be up to the standards for most Brennan restaurants. However. We come to Brennan restaurants for service and we had a SERIOUS lack of service here. Our reservation was made about a month in advance for a party of 9 on a Saturday night. We were seated right by the front door (NOT GOOD) and I would love to assume that our table was the only one missing a tablecloth for a very good reason, but I can’t say I can come up with one. Our server - Emily - was very curt all night and THREW butter dishes on the table as well as made a show of waving away smoke when the guest of honor went out for a cigarette as entrees were being served and she came to hurry her back in (after we had let her know ourselves the food was out). As far as I could tell, dessert was not even offered. Despite Ralph’s being informed that this was a special occasion we did not receive a single gesture of hospitality or lagniappe of any kind - again, something I’ve never encountered at a Brennan-owned restaurant. We also had to wait 30 minutes for prior guests to leave the table but I know that’s not something that can be controlled by the restaurant- but it was an opportunity to offer us a little extra hospitality that they did not take. As a side note, the “Avenue Sangria” with “fresh fruit” was nothing more than pre-batched white wine, cheap brandy and some miscellaneous fruit juice garnished with a Pat O’Brians style garnish of red dye no. 40 maraschino cherry and sad little orange wedge. Do better with your cocktail program and service, Ralph’s! You soured a lovely evening with old friends.

I had the Mississippi blackened redfish, and it was delicious. My wife had a burger that lacked flavor. .The service was good, but the atmosphere was too loud for my taste.
