Restaurant Rebirth

Every bite was amazing. Drinks were smooth and the service was outstanding We had the pork belly which just melted in your mouth

Excellent and I'd highly recommend this spot. I ordered the double cut pork chop and it was great. My coworker ordered the filet mignon and said it's the best he has had in quite some time. You should definitely try this spot!

99 of 100 times I only write reviews on places where I felt they deserve five stars. I give Rebirth four stars for a couple of reasons; 1) I've never been a fan of restaurants "requiring" the patrons to order "all items", appetizers, salads, entrees, at the beginning. The ambience in this place is excellent and quaint. We would prefer to enjoy it at a pace we set...you know, as the customer!! Not to have our experience dictated to us. Everything changes when the restaurant tries to control that! 2) The entrees were very good but...without question we had the worst Crème Brûlée I've ever encountered. It had not nearly set yet and was an extremely bitter representation of a coffee flavored desert! But....mistakes happen, I get that. In this case no one was willing to acknowledge it, nor rectify it! That's unforgivable! I want to give them another try. I hope I can soon!

I have a new favorite restaurant. This place is phenomenal. We went last night to celebrate my husband's birthday and it was not disappointing. We started with the fried oysters appetizer and the pork belly appetizer and both were amazing. The pork belly appetizer could have been a little spicier, but it was delicious. We then shared a serving of the gumbo. We split a 22 oz. ribeye for the entree. It was one of the most delicious steaks i have eaten in my life. We will definitely go back and recommend this to our friends.

Came here while i was visiting the city and it was a good experience The food here was solid. I had the filet mignon and it was about as good as you'd expect- nothing exceptional but it definitely hit the spot. Their appetizers were amazing, the staff were extremely kind and the overall atmosphere was great. Their cornbread was surprisingly good too which was unexpected. I enjoyed the meal here and though I probably won't be in the area again anytime soon, it was time/money well spent

Possibly the BEST restaurant that I've eaten at in New Orleans! We made reservations for the bar (nothing else was available) for our first night in town and ended up going back on our last night, as well as recommending it to others. The place is small, so if you plan to go, make a reservation. We had a wonderful meal both at the bar and at the table, and the service was great at both. They are not a steakhouse, but they do a mean steak and it comes sizzling on a hot iron plate. The pork belly is a must get as well as the gumbo which comes piping hot. The fried oysters were also spectacular and I usually don't like cooked oysters. There was some menu items I liked better than others, but everything was so tasty. Highly recommend and this will be the first place I stop on my next trip to New Orleans.

The food was great! We had the pork chops and scallops. Both were excellent and the service was great. The restaurant has a NOLA rustic vibe to it.

Easily my favorite meal in New Orleans. After several days of very heavily fried foods and way too many douche bars in the French Quarter, Rebirth was such a welcome experience. The pork belly was a standout. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. It would be a must order again. I was still thinking about it the next day. The country gumbo was my third third time ordering it in different restaurants in NOLA and was by far the best of the three. Loved the fish of the day with roasted vegetables and gnocchi, but I tried steak there and wish I'd have ordered it instead. It's quiet, dimly lit, and has excellent service. Solid choice for dinner in New Orleans

My wife and I had dinner here last night. Birthday dinner #1 for my wife. It's our first time in New Orleans. The restaurant is located a bit in the "middle of nowhere." Not much around it. The restaurant itself is very small bit has a charming feel. The service was very good. Cornbread - 5/5: I'm not a huge cornbread fan (normally tends to be dry), bit thus was delicious. One of the best cornbread ever. Fried Oyster - 4/5: great flavor, just a bit salty. Gumbo - 5/5: Wow! The best gumbo I've ever had. Ribeye - 5/5: even though they're not a "steakhouse," this was fantastic. Perfectly cooked in an iron skillet and comes slathered in melted butter. One of the most tender ribeyes I've ever had. We ordered the extra mushroom/onion topping. While I thought the topping eaten separately was delicious, the onions were too sweet to eat together with the steak. Crawfish & Tasso Maque Choux - 4/5: think of this as a creamed corn, cajun style. While the dish was good, I wouldn't order this again if one orders the gumbo as a starter as shares a bit of the same flavor profile. One word of advice. The menu is pretty limited so would recommend going to the website and looking at the menu beforehand to make sure there is something that would appease everyone in your party. Overall, a great meal.

A very pleasant surprise as it does not come up regularly in the lists of New Orleans restaurants to try. Went with friends while visiting NoLa. The gumbo was excellent, arguably the best I've had. Then I had the ribeye, which was both a great size portion and fantastic piece of beef, cooked perfectly. Finished with the bread pudding, which was also great. Highly recommended.

During the holidays, it was difficult to get reservations, luckily a spot opened up and we nabbed it. We started with cocktails and an appetizer. The carpaccio and tartare were okay but the blackened scallops and steak were delicious. We were not sure ordering any dinner entrees here because I have food allergies but they were more than happy to accommodate me. The service was excellent and we enjoyed our Christmas Eve here. We will return.

Really good food. It's a small place. They didn't have reservations available so we sat at the bar which was full service. I got to sit at the end of the bar and see all the hustle and bustle in the kitchen. They were non stop the entire time! Food tastes delicious and is presented beautifully. Gumbo comes in a cute little crock! Blueberry martini was delicious!

I had the absolute pleasure of going back to Rebirth and I honestly didn't think it could live up to my memory of how amazing it was. But it did. The pork belly appetizer is hands down one of the best dishes I've ever had. I tried the angel hair pasta with oysters which was also great. And the white chocolate bread pudding was, again, outstanding and that's coming from someone who doesn't usually even like bread pudding. Riley is the manager and his advice is spot on so definitely talk to him. And the cocktails ars also fantastic. The smoke show was fun and really good. This place is a gem!

Service was slow, but food was delicious! Got the pork chop for myself and my colleague got the scallops. Portions were huge and the food was delicious. My only complaint? I wish they had ginger beer so they could make a moscow mule. I had to settle for the strawberry mojito which was good, but not what I was hoping for. Cute hole in the wall place I wouldn't have found if not for Yelp.

One of my favorite meals in New Orleans for sure. Pork belly appetizer was very good. Starter corn bread was great. Favorite thing I ate was the pork chop, which was one of the best pork chops I've eaten in my life. Just so incredibly flavorful and juicy! And enough for 2 people (the chef even split it for us). Accompanying green beans were also really good if a bit salty. Scallops were really well done and very tender. Gumbo was good but didn't really stand out. FYI it's a smallish restaurant so you definitely need a reservation.

I was in New Orleans for 4 nights. This was hands-down my favorite restaurant. Sazerac original cocktail: 3/5. It tasted like cough medicine... But maybe that's just my palette. My partner liked it more than me. He noted there are hints of licorice, and I don't particularly like licorice. Mayan sacrifice cocktail: 4/5. Complex, citrusy, very cool presentation with what I thought were black salt pieces decorating the outside. Complimentary cornbread: 5/5. Good good good! Angel hair fried oyster pasta: 10/5. Oh my god. Creamy, melt in your mouth pasta. Perfectly fried and seasoned oysters. Just incredible. I would eat that as a meal. Blackened scallops: 10/5. Wow, wow, so good, so flavorful, so tender. The ratios with the scallops, potatoes, onions, spices, etc. Just perfect. Fish of the day (mahi mahi): 8/5. Be sure to dip/lightly drag the fish onto the spiced rim of the plate. So incredibly good. Service: 4/5. Very attentive. Though as is not uncommon at other restaurants, I noticed our main male waiter would look more at my white male partner compared to me (not white, not male), even though I had arrived first. I wish I had more room in my stomach to order more. Alas. I would honestly revisit New Orleans again just for this restaurant. I usually do a normal 0-5 out of 5 rating for things, but...I had to go above 5 for this food!

We went in without reservations. Luckily, there was seating at the bar. The bartender was engaging and provided great recommendations. The inside space is small, and would definitely recommend calling for reservations first. However, the food was amazing. It's always nice to find restaurants that are off the beaten path of New Orleans.

GREAT FOOD, GREAT service!!! Riley the manager and Hoke our server were absolutely phenomenal and went above and beyond to make my birthday dinner special!!! The best experience I had in New Orleans!! Would definitely put on your to-do list if visiting!!

Yep... as promised... I am back and the food is even better than before.. I actually did my happy dance; that's how yummy everything was! If you're ever in New Orleans, please do yourself a favor and check out Restaurant Rebirth. Where to start: 1) Ambiance 5 stars 2) Service 5 stars 3) Food and drinks 5 stars To start I ordered my favorite drink a Sazerac and it was perfect..it had a great Herbersaint, bitters and whiskey. I highly recommend if you're a whiskey drinker. We decided to share different dishes so we started with the oysters and angel.. let just say it was super tasty. The oysters were breaded and tasted so good. They were perfectly paired with the angel hair, mushrooms and bottarga gremolata. You HAVE to try it! Our second appetizer was my favorite!! It was the Mississippi style barbecue pork belly. Let me tell you about this savory dish. The pork belly was so tender and literally melted in your mouth. The collard greens were equally tasty along with the fried okra. You can't go wrong with this dish! Our third and final dish was the shrimp and eggplant. I didn't know what to think of it at first because eggplant is not really a vegetable I enjoy.. but you know what? Chef Ricky did it right. The pairing of eggplant and jumbo shrimp just worked! The creole tomato base along with the Cajun pine nuts balanced the whole dish very well. Almost forgot to mention the fried okra with the remoulded.. do not skip this side it is truly DELISH. If that wasn't enough we also had to have dessert. The coffee crème brûlée with mini beignets and the bread pudding were a perfect way to end our dinner. Our server Riley was amazing!! He made great suggestions and everything was really good. In all honesty if you're ever in New Orleans you have to stop by Restaurant Rebirth.. take it from me; I've been here twice now and was dying to come back. 5 solid stars!

The service was superb on all levels. The food had my taste buds dancing. I really loved the shrimp salad and the fried oysters. The fish of the day way Maui Maui with grilled vegetables very light and satisfying. The cornbread is delicious as well! Hoke our server was a delight!

Upon entering there is an unpleasant smell. I'm not sure if it was the rug or the building itself. The smell seemed to subside as you get further away from the entrance. Our server was extremely friendly and made the dining experience very enjoyable. The gumbo was the best I've ever had. I'm normally never a fan of gumbo, so that says a lot. The pork belly was phenomenal. All the ingredients worked in harmony with one another. The two main courses were good but not as great as the two starters. The pork chop was massive but it wasn't my favorite. The scallops were good but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, the ingredients were high quality, service was great, parking was available and free after 7. Would recommend.

I have never left a review, but this experience was worthy of a comment. Visiting from out of town, my local friend wanted to take me here as he raved on the food. Reservations for 4 at 7:45 and we sat for 2 hours before getting our entrees. Not sure if they were shorthanded in the kitchen but an explanation and apology would've been better than receiving undercooked food. Especially after waiting as long as we did and for the price of the dishes. My friend's wife had to send back her salad bc the salad shrimp was not fully cooked (still grey). I ordered the double cut pork chop but because we sat there for so long and the frustration set in, I only took a couple bites. (My fault for not cutting deeper into the chop). Needless to say I had them box up the plate to take home. Picture shows just how undercooked the chop was. This place is willing to risk getting people sick because they are trying to get food to the customers?! Very disappointing Rebirth.

The food...speechless! Amazing on so many levels, and a flavor palette full of unique and sensational vibes. The gumbo was advertised as "best in NOLA" and I'd agree! The pork chops were amazing, and the oysters with angel hair were on point! Service was great, and the waiter was helpful with wine pairing and NOLA recommendations. Couldn't recommend this place enough, so good!

This is an excellent restaurant, which is easy to reach from different parts of the city. Street parking was easy on a Wednesday. Parking may be challenging on the weekend. Area appeared safe. The restaurant is rather small. So reservations are suggested. Owner is on site and attentive to detail. Servers were also attentive, polite and knowledgeable. No loud ambiance here, which was good. One could converse with the other table attendants easily. We has the fried shrimp wrapped in a slice of eggplant, accompanied by crispy pieces of pork belly, and roasted pine nuts. I imagined a BBQ shrimp style sauce with this plate but came more with a sweet sauce, a still five star dish. We also had the $65 Ribeye. They could do better with this steak. I would try chef's other creations than the steak next time. Their Crème brulee was outstanding. I will be back to try other menu items.

Fantastic food! The gumbo is spot on and salads are perfect Giscepi is a great bartender and server!

This was our anniversary dinner and I was disappointed One bright spot was the oyster pasta appetizer 5/5 We got cocktails my husband got the Shaman and it was undrinkable. It only tasted like salt. No one asked why he didn't touch it and he had to flag down the server to get charged for another drink. I got the one with watermelon it was just ok. 2/5 We both got steaks and two sides. My husbands ribeye was over. They gave out non serrated knives and the steak was tough to cut. I understand the outside sear was the reason then give people a real knife. The potatoes were basic. We weren't even offered a dessert menu despite it being a celebration so we decided to call it a night and go elsewhere.

This place is a hidden gem, I found it a couple years back when I was sitting at Emerils just up the street. I love the bar there, and was asking the bartender where I could find great bread pudding. a gentleman on the corner suggested Restaurant Rebirth. When I asked him how he knew, he said he was a food critic in the area, and then called to see if they had some before we walked over. of course they did and the rest is history. I stop in every time I am in town just for the Bread Pudding, this past trip my wife had the Popcorn Shrimp Salad, and said it was the best salad she has ever eaten. you will love the bourbon list if you like bourbon. I had the Chicken & Mirliton Rochambeau, Pan roasted Springer Mountain Statler breast, cold-smoked confit leg quarter, paneed mirliton, shaved Tasso with Marchand de Vin & Béarnaise. For an appetizer, we had the Oysters & Angel Hair, crispy-fried Louisiana oysters, grilled wild mushrooms & tasso, in a Parmesan black pepper cream over fresh angel hair pasta, topped with bottarga gremolata

First, the ambiance, music and service at the restaurant is AMAZING! The waitress was on point and very at tentative to your needs. The dinner started with the Chicharones (port belly) bbq style. The pork belly, was juicy, citrusy and absolutely melting-in-the-mouth delight! It was melting in my eyes and mouth! What a delightful dish ! The second appetizer was the eggplant shrimp. It was very delightful! The shrimp was juicy and tasty, the eggplant was a delightful and crispy but stuffy was a bit overdone and could have used less "breading." The sauce was great! For the main course, scallops - what a pleasant surprise! It was very tasty, filling and pleasant experience ! The onions were done to the perfection, sauce was on point, scallops were great and very well executed! There is one thing obvious - the chef know what he is doing!! All his dishes on point!! The only disappointment was the creme brûlée with beignets. I wouldn't even call them beignets! It was raw, awful dough... the crème brûlée itself was dense, under too much fire and poor flavors ! I wish I would have lot had a dessert to ruin the overall night experience! I would coming back again except having any dessert.. the waiter could use a few extra training hours but I'll let it slide .. I didn't expect too much! But food --- AMAZING!!!!

Food: Delicious. We (3 old ladies) had the best filets ever! Two bottles of wine and lots of laughter. Service: white linen tablecloths, black linen napkins, great service from a charming waiter ( sorry...can't remember his name) Ambience: 45 covers; quaint, delicious, classy. Thank you! My first time in New Orleans and you made it special!

Very disappointed. Perhaps it's because the waiters suggestion was not good or he overhyped the steak. Our waiter told us the thing to order was the 22 ounce ribeye because they were rated one of the top 25 steakhouses in the country and they're not even a steakhouse. Those are his words not mine. So we ordered both the pork chop and the steak ($72). The steak was ordered, medium rare, and it is presented on a sizzling platter like it was a fajita. We were concerned that the steak would continue to cook past medium rare, and the waiter advised us that it was brought undercooked and let it sizzle, Well, we cut off a piece out of concern and it started off as medium rare so we quickly removed the steak from the sizzling platter as it would have overcooked. We found it hard to believe this was a ribeye as a steak was tough and chewy. The pork chop started out amazing and as we got closer to the bone, it was almost raw so we had to send it back We had hoped to share the steak tartare, but the portion was tiny We quickly ordered another appetizer Expensive and noisy too. J A very disappointing birthday meal, and we will not be back

This is a really cool spot for dinner! Our waiter, Mauricio, was excellent. He is from New Orleans and very knowledgeable about the restaurant and the menu! His recommendations were spot on. We started with cocktails, red wine from Portugal, and Flor de Cana 18 yr rum on an ice ball. They brought a fried oyster appetizer out for my birthday. it was delicious. The gumbo is so good. It comes out steaming hot. So the main course was a little disappointing. This is a farm to table restaurant with top-notch beef. The picture of the steak looks amazing. 20 oz cowboy rib-eye. it was cooked correctly, and the pepper crust was delicious, but the cut of steak was very fatty, lots of strings of fat and hard to cut. We could hardly eat any of the steak. I do not usually complain on my reviews, but for $65, the steak should be tender enough to cut with a fork. We let the manager know, and we were not compensated for the steak. He compensated with a creme Brulee dessert, but that did not come close to the $65 we paid for the steak. The fingerling potatoes and green beans were ok. We were slightly disappointed for my birthday dinner, as we have never had a bad steak dinner in the 17-plus years we have been coming to NOLA to celebrate my birthday. But the service is top notch, the restaurant is pristine, and very intimate to celebrate a nice occasion!!

A must! Had a dinner her with my sisters and it did not disappoint! The food and service were top notch. Our server Justin did a great job in making sure he stayed close and checked on us regularly. The food came out fast and fresh. The pork belly and oyster pasta was delicious and full of flavor. The pork chop is def a plate that can feed 3-4 people. Also tried the chicken and the sauce they put on top is delicious.

This place is a must eat when in New Orleans. It's small but has excellent food and service. Steak was cooked perfectly and it comes uniquely charred that adds amazing flavor. The egg plant shrimp don't look awesome but they taste awesome!! Also the pork belly is mind blowing! It's on my list to visit next time I am in town because I heard the duck is amazing but they were sold out the night we visited.

Wow! Great meal! This was our first time at Rebirth. We got the pork belly, chicken, scallops, gumbo, a ton of sides and both desserts offered. All were notable and most to our liking. The musts would be the pork belly (app), gumbo and bread pudding for me. But everything was well prepared. Service was professional, occasionally slow, but, only because they were packed (not neglectful). A smart choice for a fun night out.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Restaurant Rebirth. We started with the Oysters & Angel Hair appetizer. Soft savory noodles were topped with briny juicy oysters with a nicely crisp breading and rich earthy tender mushrooms. Next we had the Country Gumbo which was rich, flavorful, lightly smokey, lightly spicy and filled with meaty sausage, tender chicken and savory rice. For our entrée we split the Double-Cut Cheshire Pork Chop. This dish was massive! They actually split the pork chop in half because we were sharing and it was still massive. The pork was super tender, lightly charred and topped with a sweet flavorful glaze. Finally, we had the Bread Pudding for dessert with was nicely warm, soft, and moist. Overall, dining at Restaurant Rebirth was phenomenal.

The following should sum up why we constantly fly 7000 miles from Hawaii to NOLA. "After making our reservations from Hawaii and eating at Rebirth our first night we decided to cancel one of our seven reservations and book Rebirth for the second time. " The best gumbo in Nola. A new dish: Filet Mignon tartare and carpaccio to die for and the rest can be found in our photos. The entire staff makes you feel the true aloha spirit.

We had a little bit of a disappointing dinner. First the server was kind but she rarely came to the table. My hunch is that because we weren't drinking alcohol, our priority was low. Sucks but oh well. The food was okay. I honestly wasn't thoroughly impressed. We started off with the pork belly, and shrimp and eggplant. My husband said the pork belly was good but the greens were the best part. I don't know why but I just wasn't in love with the shrimp and eggplant. The crust was good but there was a filling in them that I just didn't enjoy. For our main course, we got scallops and fish of the day, the mahi mahi. The scallops had a weird lingering aftertaste that I can't put my finger on. My husband liked the fish but he just wasn't impressed. We've had some really awesome food so far but this just wasn't memorable.

Went before the Shania Twain concert. Had a reservation, which I would recommend because the restaurant is small. Menu is limited, but OMG, food is delicious! We had complimentary cornbread which was so so good. We tried the oysters with angel hair, as an appetizer: very tasty, not too heavy. We split the 20oz ribeye and tried it with their homemade steak sauce, the steak was charred on the outside and cooked to perfection! It was so tasty and delicious! The steak sauce is in the sweet side. We had the fingerling potatoes, which were surprisingly flavorful. For dessert had the coffee crème brûlée which was ok. I also had the ginger gimlet which I loved. Service was excellent! Will definitely be back to try the much talked about, pork chop!

Fantastic small restaurant with New Orleans favorites as well as some other more traditional fare. My daughter had the mahi special and said it was the best seafood dish she's ever had - mahi over vegetables and gnocchi with a lemon sauce and fried crawfish. I had the blackened ribeye topped with fried oysters. Cocktails are strong and fairly priced. The service was outstanding. No room for dessert, unfortunately.

Awesome staff and ambiance. Service and food was amazing. Had a great time with my family and friends. Will definitely love to go back.

While visiting New Orleans we were introduced to Rebirth by one of our hotel staff members. The restaurant is small and quaint, so reservations are recommended considering we had a party of 6. The menu is small but packs a powerful punch! Everything we had was amazing. The Pork Belly was so amazing iit will change your life. Our group also had the Gumbo, Steak, Chicken and Bread Pudding. The food was so delicious that we returned! Thank you Rebirth for great food.

Went with friends out first night in Nola. Service was great! Our waiter was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We had the fried oysters and pork belly appetizers, both were incredible. You can't go wrong with either. For entrees we had the blackberry salad, chicken, pork chop and the fish of the day mahi mahi. All of the entries were cooked well and had great flavor. The only critique was the portion size of the fish. It was small compared to the other entries. The bread pudding was great as well! Would highly recommend!

What an absolutely amazing place. I haven't stopped thinking about my meal here since I came home. The service was fantastic, attentive but also gave us space to relax and enjoy our night. I ordered the scallop dish and it honestly was one of my favorite meals in New Orleans. I cannot wait to come back just so I can revisit this restaurant. I would highly recommend you run to this restaurant and try everything on the menu.

Just a lovely, wonderful experience- Galliano is my al time fave and someone tipped me that Rebirth was their little sis so we had to try it If you're inclined towards a pork chop, this should NOT be missed here. (See pic). Both on flavor and presentation, this is a stunning dish Per Yelp suggestions, we also ordered the shrimp/eggplant, oyster spaghetti apps and the mushroom/gnocchi side. We want to do a wine and shrimp/eggplant stop before Galliano next time!!! They're in the same block so why not? Service is stellar here, just like Galliano.

From start to finish outstanding service and incredible cuisine. Staff was attentive to our group's every need. Both the cocktail and food menu were amazing. No complaints on any item that our group enjoyed.

Great food.. Service was great. Bad management decisions. They tried to add undisclosed 20% tip to entire bill including tax and alcohol. Then proceeded to talk about us in negative fashion when we went the bathroom. Rather than spend time talking negatively about your customers that just spent $500 on dinner you should just be honest....it does not cost anything.

Giuseppe and Riley were great. They recommended food and drinks that are amazing. Giuseppe gave me a huge history of various drinks and kept me entertained and in great conversation. Riley was great at recommending amazing dishes and was passionate about the restaurant. If all companies can have a great, devoted employee like Riley businesses would run smoother. He also kept me entertained with his interest in writing and poetry. The food was amazing. The pork belly was the best i ever had and the desert and carpaccio was amazing as well. Thank you for an amazing experience!

This was hands down the best pork chop I ever had!!! We actually stumbled across this gem on accident, thinking it was another place that was close by. We all could tell we we were about to be in for a fine dining experience and were in the wrong place. As you can see from the pic, I ordered the Double Cut Cheshire Pork Chop the was AMAZING. The green beans were also the best I tasted. They are cooked in a sauce that is kn the sweeter side with bacon pieces. Reminded me of Balsamic brown sugar Brussels sprouts. My only slight disappointment was the extra $12 for two scallops. If in town again, I would consider going back but as of right now after a thoroughly enjoyed meal it's a one and done.

So we stop in for dinner during our work conference, best decision of the week. Clair our waitress was amazing and was able to recommend drinks, meals and desserts with no hesitation and everything was amazing. The chef made magic happen with that steak! We will definitely recommend this spot.

We came here for the pork chop and the pork chop didn't disappoint. It was cooked to perfection. Definitely get this if you go. The scallops were just ok, but the pork chop was the star. Make sure you make a reservation for this restaurant, it is cute and cozy but not a lot of seating.
