Rib Room

Excellent place for a nice dinner....great sized portions and like all steak houses, the menu is al a cart. Started with the Gumbo which was very good...my wife had the French onion soup which she said was also very good. The mains all had nice presentations and were done to how they were asked to be prepared. I had the prime rib queen size which was plenty for the meal..It was very flavorful and obvious they take time in the preparation..other members of the party had the short rib and the strip steak....both good sized portions and very flavorful for desserts the cheesecake was very good and the Sticky toffee pudding was excellent. Service was attentive and very friendly... Thank you Renee service was beyond expectation. Highly recommend!

We went to the Rib Room for our anniversary dinner while in town for the weekend. The Ambiance and service were excellent, the food was delicious but nothing that blew me away so to speak. There was live music playing at the bar which made for a nice time as well.

Queen's Cut prime rib was perfect! I also had one of the mocktails, the seamless. Very gingery, but good. When I switched to an alcoholic cocktail, it was mixed absolutely perfectly.

The bartender Jovan makes THE BEST DRINKS! food is amazing and the service and atmosphere is top tier!

A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Definitely recommend and will be back. Service is fantastic and the food is very good. The live string jazz music is a definite plus!

Today I'm reviewing breakfast only. I've been doing breakfast here for years and it is by far one of my favorite breakfast destinations. This restaurant gets that praise because of this singular dish. The prime rib omelet. An omelet stuffed with prime rib, onion, gouda, and topped with a mild horseradish sauce. Absolutely delicious! The service can be a bit slow and the staff disinterested.

Last night in New Orleans and we had dinner here for New Year’s Eve. The menu was fixed for the holiday, I got the prime rib with mash potatoes, veggies and bread. The food was delicious but I have to mention that the staff was great and took care of us 🙏🏽 Love the inside of this historic building.

Every time I come to New Orleans I sit at the bar and eat at the Rib Room the night I check in, which I get the burger and a beer. The burger, which used to be excellent, has been changed and is now just average and is now over priced; the fries used to be better too. On the plus side they finally got an IPA on tap! As a result, I do not plan to stick to my routine and will seek out another goto place for check in night. On a side note the bar server was less friendly than the usual staff, and was not very attentive (11/10/25).

I want to give a shout out to the bar staff at the Rib Room bar, and specifically to Madison. She is quick, courteous, and always on point with any crowd that comes into the bar. It has been slammed with conference attendees for the past few days and she remains professional and serving high quality cocktails. Thanks girl!

We returned to see what was new at the Rib Room. We sat at the bar, and after taking a quick glance at the appetizers, I immediately decided on the fried oyster deviled eggs and a glass of chardonnay to go along with it. I understand that I can get pretty excited over food, but I cannot stop thinking about these deviled eggs. The cajun fried oysters had the perfect crunch with a tender center, neatly packed on top of the deviled eggs with pickled peppers. A nice surprise was the band playing near the bar. The gentleman on the upright double bass goes by Sugar Bear! Eric Robinson was on the electric and acoustic guitar. All of their instruments were beautifully crafted. I am sorry that I didn't get the drummer's name. Rib Room is located on the main level of Omni Royal. As a guest of Omni, you will benefit from free drink tickets to use at Rib Room which is nice. We have yet to dine in for an entree and unsure why not, especially since the menu has yet to disappoint. Next time.

I really enjoyed this restaurant on father's day. The atmosphere is classy and the service was top notch. The food was wonderful and I will eat here more often.

After 3 days of fantastic but very fried foods we were in desperate search for a delicious salad in the French Quarter (harder than it sounds). Rib room delivered. We had a great rotisserie chicken salad and a poke salad. The bartender/server was super sweet and service was top tier. Formal dining room feels fancy and would make a great date night.

From the time that we walked in the service was superior. The hostess remembered us from when we walked by to look at the menu earlier in the day. The staff was very attentive and kept the drinks and water filled and checked in on us regularly. The food... amazing... the had fresh bread warm and so soft and we settled on a Caesar salad prime rib end cut, loaded baked potato and the garlic broccoli. Everything was cooked perfectly, great flavor, and presentation was spot on. I recommend this place if looking for a non New Orleans traditional meal.

Do you want to feel fancy? The Rib Room is the perfect setting for those special moments. There's Sunday Brunch, private dining, and wine dinners. Whatever the occasion, you can't go wrong here.

Food was mediocre. Truffle Mac and cheese was over salted. That's all you could taste. Prime rib wasn't bad. Service was horrible. There were only 3 tables occupied including ours. Waiter nowhere in site. Finally took our order. Food came out pretty quick. Never came back to check on us. Luckily I had my husband's water to drink as well because he never checked our drinks after the initial order. Ambiance was nice. Dark and quiet. Would not recommend because of service and quality of food.

What wonderful warm service. Unfortunately the fried green tomatoes were truly terrible but the strip steak was perfect and while the prime rib was tasty the sauce was too vinegary. I'd go back but now I know what to order.

First off we had a limited menu because it was Christmas eve, but they didn't communicate with us at all that this was the case and if it was we wouldn't have chosen to eat here. The fried oyster devil eggs was great probably the best thing that we had. The soup was alright and then they added this white wine and it ruined it completely. The salad was garbage mine didn't even come with dressing, the lettuce was soggy and croutons over seasoned and difficult to chew. The prime rib was excellent very simple not much to be said the sides were god awful. Mashed potatoes felt like warm and have been sitting out for a while. The bread pudding wasn't even moist just was like a dry cake. How do you not make a bread pudding moist I truly do not know. To cap it all off we didn't want the bread pudding, but they ran out of cake. How do you run out of cake when you had a selected menu and reservations. Failed to prepare it was very embarrassing. What a disappointment after such a good first impression when you walk in it's a very nice ambience and decorated well. Lighting and vibe is very old timey. The only reason they are receiving stars.

The Rib Room is located inside the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel and they serve some great food here with their specialty being steaks! I've eaten many meals here over the years with some of those including larger groups. I've really enjoyed nearly all of my meals here with the exception of the one time I decided to sample their cheeseburger which just didn't measure up to my other experiences of really AMAZING food here. It wasn't a bad burger it just wasn't up to the level I expect the Rib Room's food to be at and it just lacked the juicy delicious flavor I expect from New Orleans burgers. All of the other meals I've eaten here have been quite exceptionally enjoyable. The ambiance here is fantastic and there is a LOT of amazing history to discover here. I've always had fantastic service here and the total experience 99% of the time has always been amazing. Overall this is certainly one of the best places in the city to enjoy for the ambiance and food while it doesn't seem to be on the radar of many tourists unless they happen to be staying at the Omni Royal Orleans.

Rib Room? More like RIPPED OFF Room. You know what, I was warned by the scathing reviews on Yelp. But my friends and I were desperate. We were trapped in a rare, historic, unprecedented snowstorm (shoutout to snowstorm Enzo) and were just thrilled that this establishment was open for business when most others weren't. Well jokes on us because this was probably the most comically depressing meal of my entire life. After reading how poor the steak reviews were, I thought, "Well I'll order the salmon. It's almost impossible to mess up salmon." Well color me confused because when I bit into my salmon, I questioned whether I was in a French steak house or a Japanese Izakaya, because why was my salmon (after what felt like over 40 minutes) raw? I have never returned a meal to the kitchen until this very experience, and when the waitress came to my table to see my sad, underdone, amateurly-plated meal (at a three dollar sign establishment), she asked me, "How would you like your fish prepared then?" Cooked? Maybe baked on 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes? (To be fair, I have no complaints on the customer service. It's those funny people in the kitchen I take issue with. Who are you guys. Where did you guys come from. Probably not Le Cordon Bleu. Is everything ok.) My friends who ordered the steak were also afflicted. I didn't order their dish, but when my introverted and historically zen friend took a bite out of her meat, she paused and said, "This feels like someone just learned how to cook for the first time." So the moral of the story is to not come to this restaurant. I recount this moment as so terrible that it's become a RIB-tickling story to look back on. But if there's no life-threatening storm, stay away from the Rib Room because it will feel like you're walking into one.

The French onion soup is the only thing edible here. Everything is obviously frozen, even the soup probably was... but it's somehow more overpriced than food in LA. In no WORLD is it worth the price AT ALL. Do not, eat, here. If you're looking at this while at the restaurant, get up and walk out. Upper management has apparently changed the entire menu / conflicting creative choices. Fish was bland, crab cake frozen, salmon was LITERALLY RAW (not slightly pink or even pink in the middle, just.. raw, all the way through). We avoided the prime rib from all the other bad reviews, and the waitress hinted that we avoid it. There's no world this food is worth the price. Also thanks for handing me bread in a literal bag? It was $200 for 3 "regular" dishes, a soup and a couple drinks... Avoid this place

Very rude hostess, waited incredibly long for service, we felt ignored as there were only 2 of us and there were other larger tables however tables of 1 were serviced before us even though we were sat first. The hostess was on the phone gossiping (it seemed) and throwing dirty looks seemingly our way. We were staying at the hotel so we dropped our bags off, after a 10 hour travel day, and wanted to eat. Of course we probably looked like we've been traveling all day and it certainly felt like we were judged for it. The server was kind but service was definitely slow. When we finally received food, the steak was fine but the side order of mushrooms for $12 tasted of oregano and like they should've been on pizza not steak. Save your money and find another place to eat.

Service was great! Sat at the bar had a local beer and French onion soup! Wished I stayed for dinner and got the prime rib!

My wife and I went for restaurant week. The food was amazing. She had the Deviled eggs and I had the octopus for appetizers. For entrees, she went with the new your strip and I had the quail. For dessert we both had the most amazing cheesecake I've ever had. The ambiance is fantastic and the drinks are good. The service was definitely lacking though. The server gave us our menus and asked if we had any questions. Like, that was it. He didn't talk about specials or tell us about it at all. If I'm going to spend over $200 for dinner for two, tell me why you think your food is worth it! Food was better than I expected, but I expected much better service. I'm not sure if I'll revisit.

Ordered a crab cake with hollaindase and eggs for $28. Crab cake was alright but tasted a little gritty and missing something. Eggs were good and potatoes were great. Also ordered a croque Madame but was disappointed they didn't have croissants at all! It came w a sausage and scrambled egg in French bread... no cheese and no fried egg. Just different I guess. Service also took forever and they never pick up their phone to order ahead. One additional star bc they had live jazz and those guys were cool

The portions are amazing, every side we had was delicious. Would recommend adding the bourbon sauce on the brisket. If you're looking for a Texan meal, would recommend to come here with your family.

Amazing food and service! Very good wine list and mixed drinks. Dessert is top notch!

We sat at the bar. The bartender was not very friendly, but the food was delicious. Perfect bar food, and really cute bar area!

Came the same week they were filming using the restaurant to film second season of Your Honor. How awesome! Food was filling and delicious. My fav was the lobster lollipops and prime rib. I had leftover for days because it was so much food. Really nice dinner to end my trip with and friendly staff.

We have been going to the rib room for over 30 years. I can say it was not up to the standard we are used to. Staff was forgettable as well as the food. The prices of a glass of wine was well more than we have paid in the past for a wine that is not top notch. Likely won't be going back.

I feel like this should be an obituary for a once fine dining room. Was there last night and ordered their specialty - prime rib - as I have for nearly 50 years. Neither of my 2 servers warned me it would not be the traditional prime rib. It was a slice of beef roasted individually until well done, not medium rare as ordered. The restaurant had very few diners, hence the reason for not roasting a whole roast. They were out of baked potatoes, and the salad dressing tasted mostly of oil. I ordered a piece of Doberge (multi-layered cake) which arrived somewhat stale. At 8pm the tables were all being set for breakfast the next day. My Sazerac was quite good, so at least the bartender was up to par. All in all, very sad (and expensive) experience. When I return to town, maybe this place will have become an Olive Garden !!

I'm reviewing based on breakfast room service, desserts and bar service. We did not have dinner in the Rib Room. Our breakfasts were plentiful and so delicious - and there were some adorable bonuses like bday cakes for two of the days and extra sides (yogurt parfait, extra grits) etc to celebrate my bday. Our bar drinks were tasty and service impeccable. My only complaint is that I wish the bar was opened later every day. Kia, Joseph and Terry are all amazing! Thank you for making my 40th bday so special.

Best breakfast I had while staying in the French Quarter! The service was very solid and I was quickly attended to, the food was great and did not disappoint!!

Unfortunately , they have gone down considerably . Had the $60 a La carte ribeye . Overcooked , tough, and thinner than a cheap cut from the grocery store . Extremely disappointing. Will not be going back .

Loving the new menu. The lobster bisque and crawfish etouffee were my favorites. The kids really loved the Junior Chef Menu. I can tell they had a great time because they were dancing and laughing throughout the brunch. The live music and cocktails also enhance the experience to make it more enjoyable. I can't wait to try the Gumbo.

Wow! Wow! I have had prime rib at some of the premier prime rib locations in the country and this is head and shoulders above the rest. So much flavor and melts in your mouth...:. Not just the edges. The whole piece! Lamar was our server. Exceptional service and attention. And he gave perfect suggestions for where to go to enjoy great music. The view from table 10 is probably the best seat in the area to watch the Mardi Gras festivities. The manager was also excellent but I sadly did not get his name. He is engaging and attentive. I cannot say enough about the food, ambiance and service. And I don't think that even mentioned the savory beignets with pepper jelly. OMG!!!! Do not leave the city without this stop!

Drinks were good and the beautiful decor but for the price point the food was just ok. The soups were the highlight, both Turtle soup (great flavor but not photogenic) and French Onion soup started meal off great however main dishes were just ok. Recommend coming here for drinks and maybe appetizers!

I ate here for dinner and lunch. I at a filet for dinner and it was seasoned so perfectly...worth the $65. I ate the prime rib po boy with french fries for lunch. This was a large serving and delicious. Topped with horseradish sauce and the fries which were perfectly cooked and so perfectly seasoned and very crisoy. I do wish there was a little au jus or gravy served with this prime rib sandwich to dip in. I thought there was but I didn't receive anything. It was a bit dry to eat as is which is why I say this. Service was good. Perfect place to eat if you don't want to look for a place in the quarter. Omni Royal I highly recommend along with eating at the Rib Room.

I love the vibe at Rib Room. The dining area is airy with beautiful views of life happening outside. Our last visit, we were treated to a wedding second line. We were all happy with our choices for entrees and cocktails.

As a first timer in New Orleans I was recommended by the concierge to try the Rib Room for a good steak and boy was I NOT disappointed!! From the moment, I walked in, I was met by a wonderful waitress named "Artie" and she did not disappoint. She absolutely, exceeded our expectations. Not only was the steak AMAZING, one of the best I've ever had but the customer was top tier. From helping us navigate through the menu to even removing a salad we did not like I highly recommend.

Horrible quality, the food was awful. Service was okay but nothing noteworthy especially for a place that appears to be more on the classy side. It was a chilly evening and the whole place was so cold inside that it was actually uncomfortable. Would never dine there again.

Had lunch here last week and it was the typical hotel restaurant whit high prices and sub par food. At least for lunch, it may be better for dinner.

A terrible experience. I went with a group of 5 for brunch on New Years Day. To say it was a disappointment would be an understatement. The restaurant was only partially full and there were enough staff working, however the service was awful. It took over an hour to get our entrees, our drinks were never refilled, and our waiter went completely MIA after our food was delivered. My husband had to ask 3 separate staff members for the check, after waiting for at least 30 mins after finishing our meals. The food was mediocre at best. Our original waiter never returned to our table. We also had a gluten free person with us and our waiter was unable to answer her questions and did not offer to ask the chef. At this point, GF diets are not a new concept and this should have been better handled. We will not be returning.

We ate here for our anniversary dinner this past weekend with our three teenage boys. Our server was fantastic (Renee), drinks were tasty, but.... My husband and I had the turtle soup and French onion soup, both of which were phenomenal. All five of us ordered the prime rib. I ordered mine medium, as did my middle son. Both were quite rare, not even close to medium. Bright red and bloody, and also quite fatty. Mine was also barely lukewarm, as were the potatoes and broccolini. I decided to just eat it rather than send it back; however, about halfway through, a mouse ran across the dining room floor. As bizarre as it sounds, I was unable to disassociate the mouse with my raw prime rib, and could eat no more. My husband brought the unwelcome guest to the attention of staff discreetly. No quiet apology was made, no "thank you for letting us know," no acknowledgment. We did order dessert, although the description on the dessert menu was not even close to what came out of the kitchen. The ice cream seemed freezer burnt and actually had small chunks of ice in it. When you pay $500 for a meal, you expect high quality and attention to detail. I cannot say we received either.

My husband and I were in New Orleans for our anniversary and made reservations at The Rib Room the first night and since we were staying at the Omni Hotel, it only made sense. The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing and has a very historical look which I happen to love! The entire staff was extremely professional, helpful, and on point during our entire visit. The manager actually stopped by our table to ensure that everything was going well. My husband and I had a really good conversation with him, and he made us feel right at home and appreciated. The Rib Room was a very enjoyable and delicious experience for us, and we will definitely be back!!

I read other reviews and did not intend to come here but, we were staying at the restaurants and did not want to go out during 4th of July for dinner because we wanted to catch the fireworks view at the hotel's observatory deck. Needless to say, all the complaints about slow and strange/inconsistent service was true for us. The host at the Rib Room greeted us like she did not want to work there and did not want to be bothered with us. Okay, I was willing to look past this. Our waitress was nice and the man who served us drinks were super sweet. We ordered a soup and two salad, mentioning to the waitress we just wanted a light dinner so it would be quick because we wanted to go up for the fireworks. She said no problem and she would keep that in mind. Our salad (after the soup), took at least 30 mins to come out. We asked them to check 3 times and each times she said it should be coming out shortly. When she finally brought them out, she gave me the wrong salad. I pointed it out and she apologized and took it back. It took about 5 mins for her to bring out my corrected salad. I really wanted to say something but I didn't, I didn't want to waste any more time. Overall experience, 2 stars. Would not come back!

Based on our experience, if you plan to come here for prime rib, and you like it tough and very well done, you may just like it here. Otherwise, don't expect a nice, juicy, rare or even medium rare slice of prime rib. I should have received the clear signal when I ordered the prime rib, and the server didn't bother to ask how I'd like it done. I then offered that I would like it on the rare or medium rare side. The server simply stated, "It comes out medium." Actually, it came out, when it finally was delivered to our table, a thick slab of beef with a very small reddish area in the middle that rapidly disappeared before my very eyes as it continued to cook on the plate. Frankly, I've had better prime rib at an Outback Steakhouse. Further, the service was horrible. Our server, who was rather unpleasant, rarely came by to check on us as we waited and waited and waited for our drink orders, appetizers, etc. At one point, while waiting for a drink order, I simply left the table, went directly to the bar, ordered drinks there and paid for them. Our drink order the server had taken never did arrive. The most attentive people in the dining room were the folks keeping the water glasses full and bringing bread. I looked around and notice other diners who didn't appear too happy about the poor service. Small high point: my wife's order of fried trout almondine and our side dish of potato au gratin were quite good, though the appetizers were just so-so. All in all, based on our experience, I cannot recommend this place to anyone.

Demetrius made a hurricane & paradise at the Omni hotel that was fantastic l!!! Come see him!!!

I went last night. It had been a number of years since I had last eaten there. It will be forever before I go back! How very disappointing! The server was nice but poorly trained (not her fault). I've had better steak at outback, the loaded backed potato was only warm. There was a large pillar next to our table and the sheet rock was all torn up. They should be ashamed As a New Orleans icon they should be embarrassed of themselves.

Three day trip to NOLA, and we didn't really explore the hotel that is attached to it. But here we are. And what a perfect way to end our mini-getaway. The Rib-Room allowed us to live our BOUGIEST lives. The staff, service, and food IMPECCABLE. 4 stars, cause it was breakfast...I really wanted (dinner) but it was our fault. We had to leave earlier, than anticipated. But we will be back, and I'm definitely gonna have to have dinner here.

Food took awhile but was outstanding when it arrived! The salmon was amazing and BBQ shrimp & grits also great A must try!

We walked over from the Roosevelt hotel. We were able to get seated right away without having a reservation. The decor was suited well for a dinner type restaurant. We started with the seafood gumbo and the Rib Room salad. Both were excellent! I should add that while we waited we were each presented with a little treat that was a small cracker with duck liver pate and other small ingredients that was so tasty! As far as the staff, I've never been in a place with a more attentive staff. We were greeted by several employees and chefs who all had an interest in our visit. For dinner, I had the prime rib, which was cooked to perfection! I am so glad we happened to stop here. If you're in town, I highly recommend dining here!

The Rib Room is a gorgeous restaurant in the heart of the French Quarter. With a gorgeous old-world space, high ceilings and low lighting, it's a welcome bit of quiet and calm just a few steps away from the chaos and fun of Bourbon Street. We went here for a nice dinner before then heading over to Carousel Bar (another classy establishment). The Rib Room wasn't too crowded, though we did have a reservation. The service was top notch, from the hostess to our server and busperson...everyone was so friendly. We started the meal with cocktails (though they were sadly out of my usual prosecco) and warm bread which was delicious. Then we all ordered the French Onion soup which absolutely blew us all away...it was the best I've ever had. The cheese was not too gooey...you could crack the top...I love that! For dinner, we opted for the filet mignon which was very good. In most steakhouses you have to order sides separately, but here you get creamed spinach automatically. Creamed spinach in general is not my favorite, so I didn't eat much of that, but I enjoyed my steak. Overall, this was a really lovely meal!

OMG, I hate to say this because I live in New Orleans and the Rib Room was always one of my favorites......went to eat there tonight and was so dissappointed. Ordered my favorite, the short rib, and it was just HORRIBLE......it was just thick cut roast beef! What happened to the delicious food? Oh my goodness, what did ya'll do to the short ribs? Sorry to say..... I will never return......so sad.....even the wine list has changed! So sad....trying to save money and cut corners......what a shame! You will lose your local business!! Such a beautiful place.....wonderful view and ya'll screwed up the food!!

Shoutout to Ms.Reneé and Chef Mike for the food,service,and Ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful and thanks for the experience and date night turned out great

We had 8:15 reservations but didn't get seated until 8:45. Meanwhile we sat at the bar and did get a drink for fifteen minutes because it was super busy and only one bartender. Once we got seated for dinner, we waited another 30 minutes just to order and that was after asking three different people to please find our server so we could order. People seated after us were eating before we even ordered! After eating half a loaf of bread, I wasn't that hungry so I ordered an appetizer. It was pork belly and half of it was pure blubber. Their staff is understaffed and very disorderly.

Fantastic dinner. Food was amazing but the service was the highlight! Arti was helping us tonight and was so insightful and attentive. We had a great experience with a beautiful view!
