Where to Eat in and Around New Orleans’s City Park

"Golfers and non-putters alike flock to Filmore in the Oaks, a clubhouse cafe and bar at the edge of the park’s Bayou Oaks North Course. Open daily for breakfast, lunch, and drinks, the menu of egg specials, sandwiches, and salads is best enjoyed on the porch overlooking the greens. The weekday 2 to 5:30 p.m. happy hour includes $5 bites like coconut shrimp and meat pies." - Beth D'Addono

We went there for the Mother’s Day brunch. It was nothing short of exceptional. The smiling faces of the staff and the friendly, helpful service they gave was great. The place was decorated for the Mother’s Day occasion with a large balloon display and elegant flower arrangements on each table. We asked to sit outside on the back porch. The manager brought a floral arrangement out to make sure our table was festive for the occasion. The creative spread of food was too much to eat in 3 visits to the buffet lol! And everything was delicious. I loved the corn and crab bisque, blackened fish, and the shrimp pasta the most. For dessert, we enjoyed the carrot cake and my mom had 2 Sundaes! The waffles with ice-cream was a nice treat to indulge in as well. The scenery was perfect for the day for lots of photo ops. To top it off, they gave us roses to take home. We loved going there and will go there again!

My family and I went here for a recent Father's Day brunch. WOW....the food is always on point, staff was very accommodating for a large party and the view is amazing. The room is all windows and you look out over the putting green. On the back porch you can simply sit back and sip on a cocktail and enjoy a lazy day in New Orleans. Tons of parking. Bathroom is immaculate and pro shop has everything needed. Captain Pip- NOLA Pedal Barge

Food and service were excellent. The restaurant is in the golf course club house building.

Worst brunch ever. My eggs were as hard as hockey pucks. I could've used them to play frisbee golf!

We met there today for a family brunch. We were 10 people including 3 kids. It was terrible. The server, brought the food out one at a time. So all the food was cold. The hot coffee was cold. This is a restaurant to avoid!

Second time coming here and the service was just as bad. Us and one other table in here and our server is talking to a coworker in the corner and it takes me 10 minutes to get a refill of my drink. THIS WAS THE GUMBO.

Understaffed when I went. Felt bad for waitress. Food generally good. Golf clubhouse.

We recently had our company holiday party at Filmore in the Oaks. It truly was the perfect venue for our group. Beautifully decorated for Christmas, tables already set up with centerpieces, and just the right size for our attendees. While I didn't eat much of the food, what I had was delicious, and my husband enjoyed everything. Shout out to the Chef for suggesting the addition of bread pudding to our menu - I may have had a tiny bite, and it was so good! The bar has a decent selection, and great service. I will have to make a return trip for a meal outside of our event!

This place was nice, but I expected more. Filmore in the Oaks is the City Park golf course country club and my dad and I came here for Coolinary lunch. Upon walking in, there were a few people eating at tables in a huge room and no one to tell us if we seat ourselves. Finally, the bartender told us to just sit anywhere, so we did. We waited about ten minutes before someone came around to bring us menus and take our drink order. I'm not sure what the hold up was, as we were here before noon and they weren't busy. So, I ordered off of the Coolinary menu and I got corn and crab bisque as my starter and I got the fish almondine was my entree. The bisque was great with a lot of flavor- I really enjoyed it. The fish was okay and the waitress admitted that they don't use local seafood. It was served with greens that I actually enjoyed more than the fish itself. For my dessert I got the bread pudding and my dad and I told the waitress that we wanted coffee, as well. Well, the waitress brought the bread pudding and said she would be "right back" with the coffee. She then proceeded to bring food out to 2 other tables, with no acknowledgement to us. I understand that you want to get people their food as soon as it's ready, but a quick "didn't forget about your coffee!", as you walk past us twice, goes a long way. Also, after she dropped off the food to the other tables, she disappeared for another 5 minutes. At this point I have finished my bread pudding and here she comes with the coffee in paper "go" cups and barely an apology. Obviously she wanted us out of there because you would think in a "country club" type setting, they would serve coffee in actual cups. During the entire meal my dad and I both agreed that we felt like an afterthought and the people they were hustling to serve must be members or, at least, regulars. I'm glad I got to try their Coolinary menu, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. The three stars is actually more for the setting and the bread pudding than anything else.

I suspected this place would be a disaster when I called a couple of times this past Sunday and no one answered the phones. I checked on facebook to see if they were even open and to see if anything else was going on but nothing was posted. So, we decided to take the risk and venture out in the monsoon weather anyway. We get there, I ironically run into a friend who said there is a private event taking up the whole dining area but there is outdoor seating that is covered so the rain wont affect us. So I said goodbye to my friend and went inside by myself to see if we could be seated outside. I spoke to a lady in the main dinning hall and she said that I would need to go outside to find someone that will seat us out there. I found a male waiter who looked pretty stressed out and asked if we could get a table. He said all the tables but the one getting rained on in the corner were taken. I said, ok, we would like to wait for a table, how long? He, again, clearly stressed out, had no idea and said maybe 30 min to an hour... I knew that was false. So, I gathered my family from the front of the restaurant to the back and was going to move the table being rained on, over a bit more under the shelter. As my family and I were about to move the table, the couple sitting next to that table said they were leaving and that we could sit there. I thanked them and we sat down. The same male waiter came around, I told him that we found a table and he said he would be there to give us menus and take drink orders. He gave us the menu: one brunch menu and one COOLinary (which was a combo for lunch and brunch). The COOLinary on Sunday is $5 more, FYI, not the 19.99 that you see for lunch, not a big deal. I am assuming that lower price is only for M-F. Anyway, it was about 2pm and we ordered our drinks, 25 cent non flavored martinis were still available even though it did not show it on the menu. We also ordered our 3 course meal from the COOLinary because I knew the waiter was completely stretched thin. I tried to have a lot of patience and compassion for him. He seemed to be the only one working the outside and the entire staff was inside focusing more on the private event. They were totally unprepared for the few diners that arrived and this is a new COOLinary restaurant so that added to this disaster. So the drinks took about 20 minutes to arrive, that included our glasses of water. Our appetizers, the thimble filled soup of the day, which was a tasty crawfish and corn bisque was good but we still had no water to wash it down with - or martinis for that matter. I always come prepared being an ex-girl scout, so I brought my own water and didn't choke on the bisque....but that's pretty bad to have the apps out before the drinks. All the drinks came out after we finished our teacup of soup, which did not take very long to eat. Next, everyone ordered the steak and I ordered the fish. It came with potatoes while the steak came with grits - and that right there is an odd combo...Normally potatoes go with steak and the fish go with grits. The fish was fried catfish almadine and it was pretty damn good. The steak, not so much, it was chewy and not seasoned. We had also ordered onion rings in addition, but those never showed up - might have gone to the private event. The food came out and as they are placing it on the table the bussers asked that we cut into our steaks to ensure they were cooked correctly. I was a little confused by the lack of confidence in the chef, but I could totally understand by how completely disorganized everything/one was. We were so distracted by that, that we noticed after they left the grits did not come with the steaks. So, my brother complained to the waiter and was annoyed that he had not been told that they were replacing grits with potatoes. (I have to admit, that is a huge pet peeve of mine while dinning. If I go to the restaurant and they do not inform me of what they are out of immediately before even taking drink orders, I would rather just leave. Taceaux Loceaux recently did that to me, I was not pleased.) But anyway, this was not my dish that was messed up and the waiters reaction was totally clueless - shocker. He said he didn't even know the grits were supposed to be with the steak or he would have told us. My brother was so disgusted that he asked for his dessert to go. The three of us wanted our dessert for there so we stayed. He left to smoke and the three of us enjoyed the last few minutes of the outdoor view of the golf course. It really was a pretty view. I would say it is similar to dinning at the Audubon Cafe and honestly, I would prefer to go there. The service and food is much better. I understand a private event can be stressful and a little chaotic, I would suggest: 1) informing people on social media, 2) close the rest of the restaurant so you can focus completely on the private event, and 3) get more staff for those events if you must have the restaurant open.

This review is for Filmore in the Oaks as a private event space only. I attended a baby shower here and I thought it was the perfect spot for a couple reasons. -tons of windows allow for lots of beautiful natural light and views of City Park - ample free parking -nice size space where its big enough to maneuver around, but not too cramped. -good size bar area The event I attended was in the morning so it had brunchy food and it was all really good. I always have slightly lower expectations when it comes to party food, but everything was served hot and full of flavor. I found the staff to be very helpful and courteous as well. If you are looking for a nice and airy event space, put this place on your list!

We have gone to Filmore in the Oaks serval times. The food has been very reasonable and good with good service. Today, the food was still good but I like my eggs soft poached on the Benny and the Crabs(cakes) and they were cooked hard. But I must admit they were perfect hard cooked eggs without the gray ring inside. The crab cakes were tasty with nice chunks of crab meat. Something happened in the kitchen and we waited about an hour for the food but they did apologize and comped our mimosas. The waitress was very nice and did a good job. 2 of us ordered from the Coolinary menu and ended up with what looked like a whole fried chicken. They said the crust was very crispy and nicely seasoned. Everyone enjoyed what they had to eat and were satisfied with meal. We will not go there when we are in rush, just in case.

Ok. Let's get serious. Throwing bad, cold food in front of a golfer during an endless "happy hour" is fine for a "clubhouse." But! If you want to be a serious restaurant in New Orleans you must fix this restaurant. I have been to receptions, breakfasts and a few lunches here and it is time to set the record. First, I have gone here often due to its great convenience, nice views and the previous reputation of other venues in City Park. But. This is not part of the catering empire of the Park, which is legendary and great( i.e., Pavilion wedding receptions, parties at the Timkin building). Second, service: amateurs. Slow. Forgot details of orders (no rice in gumbo: did not write it down). Sloppy: actually dropped food on the floor more than once during latest lunch! Staff seemed confused throughout the last two lunches. Third. Food. No stars here at all. Gumbo: red color and watery. Asked for no rice and got so much over cooked rice that when I removed it from the small cup only three spoons of gumbo were left. Thin slices of fatty sausage and ground meat in the cup: what the heck is that!!! Cobb Salad: four stringy strips of cold chicken on top of a small bowl of bag mixed greens. And yes, a sprinkle of chopped egg, bacon bits and average blue cheese dressing on the side. Not worth $13. No stars, no way. Breakfast visit: slow service (duh). Weak coffee. Cold eggs. Slow service. But a nice morning view. Receptions: I have attended two. Tasteless pass arounds. Bar service for drinks inefficient and long waits. Buffet food line contained standard Costco-type small bites. They are actually better at Costco on Saturday mornings! Easy parking but went home hungry, no wait... we did not go home. We went to Reginelli's for a pizza. So we actually did not arrive home hungry! Overall, The Fillmore has great potential but if they want to be more than a watering hole for golfers, a major overhaul is critical. I hope it happens. There is much potential here. One star today. Maybe more in the future if things change.

Crab And crawfish soup was delicious. The Cuban was a large sandwich. Ordered onion rings as my side and ate them all could only eat a third of sandwich. Very nice spot for lunch on golf course greens.

What can I say but gross! Not sure how anyone who got the club sandwich or fried chicken wrap could say it was good. We must have been there on a day when the chef was ill on October 7th. My jaw hurt from chewing the fried chicken. The club sandwich was bland as could be. The fries were the best thing on the plate for sure. Our waitress was training another but neither one checked on us during out meal. None of us finished our lunch. It just wasn't good. It's too bad because the atmosphere was nice.

Food good Not exceptional Service extremely poor. Waitress took forever to come to our table. She was more interested with her conversations with other staff members. We are at a golf course and no golf on any TV. Only The Real!!! What's up with that. Plus the playing of Christmas music before thanksgiving This will be a one and no come back G

Three adults for breakfast with only two other tables taken. Eventually wait staff appeared, ordered coffee which eventually came - in paper cups but only enough for two. (How many restaurants in New Orleans, serve coffee in paper cups. And at the start of the day only have enough for two cups. Incredible!). Waited to order, food eventually came but took forever to be served. Boudin and poached eggs were hot and tasty but no expected toast and butter. More delays for the bill and payment. Every step of the meal was at the speed of a glacier despite two wait staff on duty. Before we were served our meals, two friends came in and sat at another table. As I was paying my bill, one of them came up and asked if any wait staff was on duty. They had been waiting for many minutes for someone to appear. After our departure, I assume one of them was served coffee in a paper cup but the other had to wait for more coffee to brew.

The food was ok for breakfast and the service is friendly. The atmosphere is nice and I love how spacious the place is. The price was affordable too. I passed by this place a hundred time and did not know they have a restaurant in there

Kim Knatzer made my daughter's and new son-in-law's wedding Shower, Rehearsal Dinner, wedding ceremony and reception easy, beautiful and fun for all!! Shout out to Ashton Chatelain and the rest of the crew! Living out of town and coordinating out of town could have been difficult. This team gave me a beautiful and friendly home away from home! We enjoyed the food and had a blast!

Filmore in the Oaks could improve if there were more diversity amongst the staff, and by diversity I mean color and gender. Along with diversity, the servers here are rude and inconsiderable. My experience here on January 28, 2020 was very poor and left me disappointed after a friend referred me to come here for one of the best Cubans in New Orleans, which I should've known better. The bread was beyond toasted, literally 2 pieces of meat, and no pickles or mustard! And of course it took longer than 30 minutes for a sandwich I could've made at home. I requested to speak with the manager, Kim I believe is her name. Waited another 15 for her and she never came. Keep in mind it already took 15 minutes for a server to even acknowledge us,take our order, and bring my child and I a glass of WATER. My baby's hot dog was colder than my sweet potato fries were, which is definitely not acceptable. My child and I being here for over an hour just to be treated as if our order doesn't matter by a non diverse and inconsiderable staff isn't worth it at all. I'm bringing this to your attention because I feel this establishment that has great potential. You have the opportunity to make this establishment what it should be, one if the great pilars of New Orleans. Please fix immediately. - Sincerely, a Concerned Patron

What a delightful surprise the food here was. We loved the service. They were accommodating to our tastes as they made small substitutions. We thoroughly enjoyed the food. I think they are a welcome addition to the restaurant s in New Orleans.
