Lost Coyote Restaurant

Great experience at Lost Coyote! After a long day of Tuna fishing in Venice. Colin and Chef Nicole prepared an amazing meal for us with our fresh catch. We had a group of 12 and they took care of us like family. The ambiance was great and the staff was very attentive. The Corn Muffins, Pork Belly, and Fried Potatoes were excellent. Thank you for a great experience! Can’t wait to come back!

We’ve been coming to Lost Coyote since it opened up, and it just keeps getting better and better. The food is phenomenal, with an ever changing list of specials to keep things interesting. Favorites on the menu right now are the cornbread muffins, the pork chop, the Cajun corn dogs, and the Waldorf wedge. Definitely grab a cocktail or a mocktail here too. They are equally creative and delicious. Another big bonus is their pool club out back! $20 for a day pass also gets you a towel and a glass of bubbles, and the yearly membership is super affordable as well! Lots of nice loungers with umbrellas, a great tanning ledge IN the pool, and a special pool food and bev menu too. Lost Coyote is truly a great addition to our neighborhood!

Great atmosphere, beautiful decor! The food and drinks were excellent. Highly recommend the shrimp roll, delicious! We went for the pool and it wasn't too crowded, we had a great time hanging out for the afternoon.

Great new restaurant on Esplanade! Elegant interior with gracious staff. The food was delicious! We had the wedge salad, corn bread and burrata to start. Then the pan seared fish and beef pot pie for our mains. Looking forward to see how they develop the dessert menu. Will definitely be back.

This cozy neighborhood spot strikes the perfect balance - warm and intimate without feeling cramped. The chef-crafted menu is outstanding, offering something for everyone, whether you’re just snacking or diving into a full meal. Pictured are the red bean hummus and crispy olives. Their bar program is equally impressive. They also have a solid beer and wine selection. What truly sets this place apart is the people. With deep roots in the New Orleans service industry, the team understands what’s been missing and delivers it effortlessly. And don’t forget to say hi to Rosita the goat outside!

We stumbled on this amazing restaurant on our first night in New Orleans and this has been the best wrong turn ever made ever! The chef, Nicole, is a genius and we have never been treated to tastes so amazing! The servers Dyson and Tristan are the most wonderful people and part owner, Jessica has done the most amazing job making us feel incredibly welcome! The pool outside and bottomless mimosas on Sunday were just the icing on the cake! If you are in New Orleans for any reason at all this is a Do Not Miss spot!!

The welcoming people and beautiful interior gave us high hopes — and the food did not disappoint! This is a restaurant that clearly shows great care in curating their menu, designing the venue, and choosing their wonderful staff. We truly hope they get more busy — they deserve a full house! We had the burata , olives and pork chop. Would recommend all 3.

Walking from Jazz Fest yesterday evening and decided to stop at this newly opened restaurant/bar on Esplanade. The aesthetic is beautiful, ambience is very pleasant. My friend and I sat at the bar where this super kind waiter (hate I didn’t get his name, he was the sweetest) told us about the current special— 2lbs of crawfish which includes a pool pass that can be redeemed on another day and a free beer.. we decided to go for it! I’d also been craving crawfish the entire day so I felt like I hit the jackpot!! We decided to order drinks as well instead of the beer. We chose to sit outside since the weather was lovely on yesterday. He walked out and handed us our crawfish, that’s where the disappointment started.. the to-go plate he handed us clearly, apparently, obviously, was not 2lbs. I’m knowing this as I am a native of New Orleans, I should know what 2lbs of crawfish looks like. I can typically eat 4lbs by myself, this is what we do here! Lol. I mentioned it and he gave us another to-go plate filled w| crawfish after speaking w| his manager. I was thankful that he did accommodate us. Again, he was truly the sweetest. After digging in, the crawfish were very dry- I mean no juice at all and super cold. At that point, we decided to just pay for our drinks and leave. I’m assuming a typical tourist wouldn’t notice the amount nor care about the taste. I couldn’t dismiss it. Overall, this is a lovely spot. Drinks were amazingly, amazing. Service was great! I'm disappointed the crawfish didn't work out; however, I am VERY excited to try this spot again. I'll of course be ordering something other than crawfish. Truly, everything was great except that one hiccup. This place really is a gem perfect location tucked away in the 6th ward of New Orleans, right off of Esplanade.

Good ambiance inside; drinks were hit or miss. Pool area gets the job done, but it could be elevated. It still offers spacious place for sunbathing. Food was not good. Couldn't eat the chicken sandwich bc it was nothing but grease and chewy chicken. They need to figure it out with oil/temp/chicken. In fairness I will be back! It's a good spot, but I will choose differently when I go back. Beer for drinking and maybe a different item on the menu.

From the moment we walked in, The Lost Coyote made us feel like family. Our large party of 12 was welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality, even though we arrived close to the end of the night. Not only were they incredibly flexible and accommodating, but at no point did we feel rushed--quite the opposite. The staff made us feel right at home and treated us like one of their own. The family-style dining was perfect for our group--every dish felt like it was made with love and meant to be shared. The vibe was relaxed, fun, and full of heart, which only made our night more special. We laughed, we connected, and we made amazing memories thanks to the incredible team at The Lost Coyote. And we have to mention the Cuban coffee at the end of the meal--absolutely phenomenal. It was the perfect final touch to a truly memorable evening. This wasn't just dinner--it was an experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, even better service, and a place that feels like home.

Ambiance? Check Delicious beverages? Check Kind waitstaff? Check Food? Gross, burnt, and overpriced. Don't go for the food. Apparently there's a pool and a goat(??) I guess for some people that makes up for it! I don't really love leaving negative reviews so wanted to include some good that the place has to offer. Go for drinks and a swim!

Cute place inside but no one was there just one other table. Appetizers we started with the olives, ricotta dip and corn bread. Out of all three nothing wowed me to go back. My friend did enjoy her drink it was mom I am home. If food doesn't improve I don't believe this place will last.

Happy Hour Menu was amazing. All the plates I tried were tasty. Especially the mini cornbread. Service was great, bartender allowed us to choose the Music. It's a cute spot. House has been in the neighborhood forever, to see how it was transformed is Nice!

The hottest new pool spot in the big easy. It's definitely the place to be on Sundays with the best crawfish boil in the city. Excellent brunch menu, the Cajun corn dogs caught me off guard, they were the bomb. Pool full of young attractive people, enjoying some great cocktails, with all the tinctures made in house. And it's also a great place to come for dinner, it's really a unique place with a lot going on. I'm really excited to see which direction Lost Coyote goes next. They also have a huge ballroom above the restaurant, which will eventually be used for catering events. Huge fan, it's now on my rotation, and it's the most affordable pool membership in the city. Definitely my new pool spot!

Delicious meal. I especially liked the fries. Great service. Beautiful pool with soft fluffy towels provided in your fee.

This place is so cute! Great food & drinks too!! The melon & cucumber salad is amazing!!!! The staff is so friendly and helpful

Amazing!! Food was spectacular. The owner Colin and chef Nicole were extremely welcoming and provided an amazing experience. Great food, delicious drinks, and an amazing atmosphere. We had a large party of 12 people and every dish was amazing.

I'm so glad there's a new pool/bar/restaurant in town, and this one is in a neighborhood that needed it! I wish I took more pictures of the food and cocktails we had, but everything was SO good. The vibes are immaculate - it's moody and beautiful indoors and fun and sunny outside (plus a pool AND a goat). Our bartender took great care of us and everyone was so friendly. I wish this place lots of success and I'll definitely be back!

We found this little gem to have a charming decor, laid back atmosphere, and delicious food. Every item we tried and we tried everything, was delicious. I can't wait to return! definitely try the corn muffins and pork belly!!

Wow! What an amazing departure from the norm! Pool, amazing wine, cocktails and cuisine. Our waitress, Jessica, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The wedge salad was properly prepared and was not "dripping " with dressing. The pork chop was the best I have ever eaten....anywhere! We also added the cornbread which was almost like a desert and way, way over the top! We will definitely be back. Honestly, I thought we were up for bar food but this was a a true culinary experience! This place is new so give it a try, you will not be disappointed!
