Trenasse

Matt (Chef) and his staff have created the best menu and the highest quality food I've ever had the pleasure to experience. I highly recommend the grilled oysters, bisque, and market fish blackened. Add to that the signature drinks and desserts and you will have a truly unique experience. A big thanks to Swathy the server for her commitment to service. 👌

The food was excellent. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the fresh corn slaw was delicious. The pork belly was very good - a bit overcooked. The crawfish pie was amazing. The service was good, but not what I was expecting for this type of restaurant. The server was overly attentive, which made the meal feel very rushed. For example, we will still finishing our meals and she brought us the dessert menu to ask if we were interested. The architecture and finishes weren't to my taste.

We got the Rockefeller and the Shrimp and Crab chargrilled oysters and they were amazing! I’m not a raw oyster person so I was scared that they would be too gooey, but they were perfect. Just add Crystal hot sauce and a squeeze of lime and yum!! The loaf of bread was good but arrived too late for the oysters. We also got the green fried tomatoes and they were good, but not as amazing as the oysters.

Trenasse is close by to our hotel so we wanted to be sure to check it out & see what they have. Their restaurant selection is Louisiana based with plenty of seafood options (oyster bar, main dishes) and were told they have happy hour from 3-6. We decided to stop in for a quick drink (beer and the blackberry bramble). The ambiance is classy and warm with outdoor seating and an inside entrance to the Intercontinental Hotel.

I recently dined here and while the restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained, the food and service left much to be desired. Food: Oysters – I ordered a dozen, but the sizes were inconsistent. Some were large and fresh, while others were tiny—so small my fork couldn’t even grab them. A few also didn’t look fresh, which was disappointing. Fried Boudin – Completely bland and tasteless. I couldn't eat it at all. When I mentioned this to our server, he said he would inform the kitchen. However, I later noticed it was still on our bill, and we weren’t offered a replacement. Fingerling Potatoes – Absolutely delicious! The best dish of the night. I enjoyed them so much that I ordered multiple servings. Highly recommend! (Some came out burn though..) Fried Brie Burger – It was decent, but I’m not convinced the five pepper jelly pairs well with it. The burger includes other sliced cheese in addition to the fried brie, which was a nice touch. Complimentary Fried Pork Skin – This was my first time trying it, and I discovered it’s not for me. Also, the butter served alongside it didn’t complement the dish at all. Service: Unfortunately, our server was not very helpful in explaining the menu. He seemed distracted or unengaged, which was disappointing, especially considering this restaurant is inside a hotel, where I expected a higher level of service. Pricing: Be aware that the restaurant has different prices for cash and credit card payments, which wasn’t clearly communicated upfront.

Did happy hour. $7 per app and cocktail is a great deal. Everything was tasty especially the bbq shrimp (prawns), deviled eggs and brusells. The oysters had zero flavor, no ocean brine, which is odd. Could they be freshwater? I wouldn't get it again but it may be nice for those who don't like the flavor of the sea.

Bottomless mimosas! Great food! And a fun atmosphere! Our server was super attentive, never an empty glass and she seemed genuinely happy. Ordered the vegetable omelet and the shrimp and crab grilled oysters. Honestly wish I had stomach space to eat more because everything was just really really good. Will absolutely come back with friends

We had an incredible dining experience at Trenasse! We were extremely surprised by the quality of the food. Kyla, our server, went above and beyond to make my husband’s birthday special with a thoughtful surprise. The food was outstanding—charcoal oysters (intercontinental), gumbo, frog legs, and the best bread pudding we’ve ever had. Everything was perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. Highly recommend this place for amazing food and exceptional service!

Wonderful hotel restaurant with fantastic food. The crawfish pie and blue crab bisque were extremely good. Great Louisiana comfort food. Would definitely come back if I lived here! Service was impeccable. The restaurant is part of a hotel and a little on the small side. But the food was just phenomenal. Highly recommend!

Took pix of empty plates to remember what we ordered. We got a variety of items to share. Frog legs Fried green tomatoes Taste of Trenasse Garlic bread Oyster Rockefeller Blue crab bisque The scallops and pork belly dish Everything was good. I would not say out of this world but they had enough items that we felt the need to try several. The trout in the Taste of Trenasse was salty so glad we didn't get that isolated as a main. The crawfish pie was also good but wish the crust was more flakey. The shrimp and grits was very good. I enjoyed the grits which was nice and creamy. You can skip garlic bread. The butter was good but bread was not that great itself. My 2nd time trying frog legs..it was nice to get re-acquainted but it was just ok. Felt some grit in oysters and scallops but otherwise. Very delicious plate of gooey pistachio dessert that wasn't captured photo wise. We also tried 2 of their alcohol coffees which were also good.

We really enjoyed Trenasse in the intercontinental hotel. The hotel was beautifully decorated for the holidays and has the whimsical corgi paintings displayed We enjoyed the intercontinental grilled oysters tremendously. A friend and I split the Trenasse Trio which included the crawfish pie, which was extra extraordinary; shrimp, and grits, which were delicious, and fish menuire, which is incrusted and delicious. Service was attentive and courteous . A spectacular meal !

Trenasse is close by to our hotel so we wanted to be sure to check it out & see what they have. Their restaurant selection is Louisiana based with plenty of seafood options (oyster bar, main dishes) and were told they have happy hour from 3-6. We decided to stop in for a quick drink (beer and the blackberry bramble). The ambiance is classy and warm with outdoor seating and an inside entrance to the Intercontinental Hotel.

We came here for a birthday celebration and had a big party. The room they put us in was isolated, which wasn't bad, but it felt a little awkward in location. Our server was sweet and took care of us well so no complaints there. We wanted to come here mostly for the oyster selection they had. Started out with a dozen raw oysters. We loved them so much, we ordered another dozen at the end of the dinner. We ordered the oyster log for the table and while it was pricey, it was a great way to try all their charbroiled oysters. The garlic butter, gratin, and crab Bienville were my favorites but you can't go wrong with any of them. The oyster log also comes with fried oysters, which was a let down for me. They were cold and didn't have much of a taste. The scallops were tasty and I loved the desserts we had with the bread pudding and pistachio cake. The entrees were nice but not as exciting as the oysters for me. I'd come back for those oysters by itself!

Service was atrocious!! Even with the decent food, it could not make up for our terrible server. She was not only slow but I am questioning whether or not she was sober. It took at least 20 minutes for her to get our drinks order but our food arrived even before our drinks. We were ready to walk out bc it took her so long to even get our drink orders. We just ordered drinks and appetizers and left to go to a different place. Never will I come back! The food was great but not worth the service being terrible and one that may not be sober. Also, the hostess didn't even acknowledge us when we walked in and was on the phone. It took us a good 5 minutes before someone else came to seat us.

Bottomless mimosas! Great food! And a fun atmosphere! Our server was super attentive, never an empty glass and she seemed genuinely happy. Ordered the vegetable omelet and the shrimp and crab grilled oysters. Honestly wish I had stomach space to eat more because everything was just really really good.

Came just for happy hour oysters. They have a pretty decent deal - half dozen for $7. Some of the best oysters I've had. They were huge! We also got complimentary fried pork skins which were soo crunchy and savory. Our waiter was incredibly friendly, the food came out quick, and there was no wait. Restaurant is classy and clean!

I had a friend visiting in town and when searching up restaurants in the area we'd planned to be in that evening, we stumbled across this gem. The food, service, and atmosphere far exceeded our expectations. I usually do not opt for dining options in hotels but decided to trust the process with this location and I'm glad I did so. My favorite fish was the fried green tomatoes!

Service was quick and friendly even with our large group of 18. I really enjoyed the wedge salad and their version of a house salad. My catfish and grits were just meh! I would come check them out again with maybe less people for some other menu options.

Been here a few times now...so it's time for a review! I love the ease of making a reservation with Trenasse because they use Opentable. I have been here as a couple and in a group as large as 8 people. Every time I have come, I've had a great experience. The service is always exceptional. On my most recent visit, our server was super helpful when it came to helping our friends from out of town make the best choice for a meal and she also gave us advice on places to check out in the area. On my last visit, I went with the fish of the day, which was the puppy drum. It was blackened and tasted so good. I loved the potatoes and arugula that came as the sides. The meal was delicious. My significant other got the steak and I tried that as well and it was cooked to perfection. Trenasse is a great spot with a quiet and classy atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

Coworkers and I came across Trenasse for dinner. The ambience was bustling but nice, and our waitress was knowledgeable and friendly. The food...left a bit to be desired. The Blue Crab Bisque was a great starter. It was mild, sweet, and rich. The heavy cream was a great touch. The appetizers were hit-and-miss: The frog legs were great, and the fried green tomato had a crisp exterior. However, the Oyster Rockefeller wasn't cleaned properly and I found myself crunching on grit. The grilled shrimp was overcooked and mushy. The biggest letdown was Stinky's Stew. It had zero flavor. I could not detect any seasoning, not even salt, in the stew or especially the pressed "po-boy". The portion, however, is MASSIVE. My coworkers all got other things which they raved about, so I'm going to give Trenasse the benefit of the doubt and say it was an off night. Don't let this review dissuade you from going, I urge you to give it a try.

This restaurant is located in the Intercontinental Hotel and it wasn't crowded on the evening I stopped by. It's a dimly lit restaurant good place for a date night. My waitress was welcoming and informed me of the specials of the night as well as her favorites. I opted for half dozen oysters cooked in champagne the Crawfish Pie and the Blue Crab Bisque. Instead of bread for the table they bring skins with a dip. The skins were tasty and light, I see why they serve these. The oysters were still sizzling when they arrived. My crawfish pie was very rich and good. I didn't eat the grits that were on the side. Now, let's get down to the Blue Crab Bisque. I was most looking forward to this. It was thin, it had good flavor but I wish it had more body. It wasn't bad but I was underwhelmed. I was expecting more.

Ate here by myself on a business trip, so I sat at the bar. It was 7:30ish on a Saturday night and not packed. Hostess was nice. bartender could have cared less. I found it odd that they asked for a card for my tab when I was clearly having dinner, not here for just drinks. Just felt odd. Maybe that's how they roll... but for me it was a feeling of distrust that your guests aren't going to pay. Heck, maybe I'm in my feelings. The food. Ordered the speckled trout which was good. The potatoes were fried a bit hard like something I would have expected from a diner, not from a place like this. The green beans were well-prepared. I wouldn't say don't come. I will say that I wouldn't recommend it as a "must go" when in NOLA. There are too many good options to settle. Just my opinion, do with it what you will.

Went for our first meal in NOLA just in time for their fabulous $7 Happy Hour menu with a nice offering of food and drinks. So happy we shared so we got a broader introduction to Creole cuisine (or maybe Cajun or maybe both? Even after looking it up I still don't know how to distinguish between the 2 ! ) Ratings: * for good, ** for great FOOD Happy Hour menu: *Uncle Duke's BBQ shrimp-3 shrimp served with a delicious rich sauce *boudin bites-2 pieces traditional pork and rice sausage crawfish hush puppies- not a hit with our group **Raw oysters (half a dozen $7)- super sweet and fresh and half price! My cousin ate 2 dozen these by himself! Regular menu: **Louisiana crawfish pie- delicious creamy pot pie with a nice crust on top *fried green tomatoes *blue crab bisque - my friend ordered this but it wasn't what she expected, maybe because of the sherry? So I graciously volunteered to help her eat it! DRINKS Gator bait cocktail- pineapple juice with jalapeño infused tequila, a little bit of a bite to be expected! White peach sangria- very easy to drink! Nice blend of flavors Get here between 3-6:00 pm so you don't miss it!

We visited Trenasse for their Happy Hour special, a bar that is situated on the side of a hotel. Of course I started off with some oysters which were pretty good, I've definitely had better in New Orleans but for the price you couldn't beat it. We then tried some of their food from the happy hour menu, the best thing was the Brussels Sprouts. BBQ Shrimp & Boudin Balls fell short for me. However, our server was great! I can not remember her name but she was prompt and very friendly. She also gave great recommendations. The Sangria & Spicy Marg was very good. I would give this experience a 3.5/5 with highlights on the happy hour specials and drinks.

Trenasse is in the Intercontinental hotel and also has a door from the outside. I ate here for lunch despite coming back the same night for a dinner party. It was Taco Tuesday and I was given complimentary chips & salsa. The chips were homemade and served warm. Very good! I ordered the 2 for $18 special which was your choice of soup with 1/2 a sandwich. I was looking forward to the blue crab bisque but it was disappointing. Very thin/watery and there was no crab! Only the taste of it, but I'm used to crab pieces in the soup. I chose the buffalo shrimp po boy for my 1/2 sandwich and that was perfect. Huge shrimp! Very tasty. My server Marvin was very attentive. Despite not liking the soup it was a good lunch.

Ok so we decided to try it out since a friend of mine recommended that I should. Sat at the bar and spoke to a nice bartender I think her name was Lisa. She made some good drinks but, my wife and her were talking and she had to come bring us our raw oysters, OMG she got too close apparently and this bartender smelled like she hadn't showered in weeks. I just couldn't finish my drink after that. Nor did my wife. We were highly disgusted and well if someone doesn't care about their personal hygiene then I can't imagine that bar being too clean either. Absolutely appalling and there's no way that management hasn't addressed this. Should be a law to keep your personal hygiene up in order to give service like this to others. Just saying, so I wouldn't be back anytime soon. Such a let down for us since we were looking forward to it.

Trenasse was an incredible stopover and perfect start to the day as we arrived around 11am to kick off the day. Our server, Joe, was infectious with his energy, kindness, and energy. He made all the right calls and recommendations for us and did not disappoint! Shrimp & Grits: These were literally the best shrimp and grits I've ever had. EVER. It was decadent, velvet-y, buttery, and the smoothest texture filled with a perfect blend of spices and a kick to round it out. I never thought I could love grits as much as I did upon taking the first bite of this dish. If it's anything here, that's the thing to get. BBQ Shrimp: This came highly recommended from our server. I will say, it's flavorful, juicy, and that perfectly saucy BBQ flavor over shrimp. However, for a $16 dish, I expected more than 5 pieces of shrimp and a garlic bread. That's my only ding on this dish, so if you're running tight on a budget, skip the BBQ shrimp. It's not worth the price. Sorry! Burger: It's great. If you're coming in with a hungry stomach, make sure you opt for the burger. It's messy, it's heavy, but it's everything you want out of a burger. My only gripe was that it fell apart so easily, and the bun didn't hold it together. That's never fun to eat.

What's the best way to explore New Orleans? Whatever you do, do it with a local, better yet a local that works for Yelp! My local led me here :). First and foremost, before you judge, drop every stereotype you have about hotel dining. If downtown was closer to Marigny, they'd have to wheel me out of this place! From the first sip of my strawberry jalapeño margarita, I knew I was in for a treat. The Buffalo frog legs are perfectly fried, and accompanied by honey and blue cheese. The perfect bite requires you to ask for extra Buffalo sauce. Dip the wing, grab a bit of honeycomb, a bit of blue cheese and be prepared for your tastebuds to do the happy dance! The duck confit is equally delicious and thoughtful! But whatever you do, get the sampler. Why isn't there a picture, because as soon as it arrived, my primal instincts took over. I would drive the 5 hours from my house the comforting warmth of this crawfish pie. I'd cross the street without looking both ways for these shrimp and grits...I wouldn't do anything of the sort for the redfish, but it was pretty tasty as well! If you've yet to visit, or visiting from out of town (like myself), just know, parking can be challenging and tables can be tight, but even if you find yourself on the long side of a table wait, or sat near folks who stare you down like you're a demon in human flesh (eh helm), the food is worth it! I'll certainly be back- after all, it's only a 5 hour drive away!

I found Trenasse on my second day in New Orleans and I am so glad I did. Fortunately, I was able to walk in with no reservation and no wait but I could imagine it being busy where a resy would be needed. The server, Lexi, was pleasant and helpful when asked about menu items. I wanted crawfish but didn't want to be overwhelmed by one dish so the starters worked perfectly. I ordered the Unca Duke's BBQ shrimp and fried green tomatoes. The fried green tomatoes were crisp on the outside with added flavor from the crawfish. Bread with the shrimp was icing for an absolutely savory meal. For drinks, I had the Blackberry Bramble and sparkling water. Dessert was the brulee. From the host to Lexi to the bar and the menu, Trenasse was a highlight of my trip!

This place was amazing to said it was a hotel/restaurant, beautiful lighting the entrance does it justice on welcoming you to this place. The food was delicious seasoned very good the presentation well put together. The drinks were tasteful just what you would need on a dinner date. I would definitely recommend!!!!

The food and service were both great!! We will be back here in the future when we come back to visit!

The food was decadent, rich and delicious!! Everything I tried was wonderful. Our server was very friendly and kind with great recommendations and the service was exceptionally attentive. The restaurant was also beautiful and wonderfully lit. I'll be back!

This restaurant inside the InterContinental hotel was a very pleasant surprise! I saw several reviews raving about the Blue Crab Bisque; It was good but did not blow me away as I like my soup a bit thicker. The Buffalo Frog Legs were such a delight! I haven't had frog legs in quite a while so was very excited to see them on the menu. The legs were incredibly meaty and juicy. The honey comb that came with was a special touch, reminded me of how different real honey tastes from the artificial ones. And the Louisiana Crawfish Pie. OMG. It was so good that I went back and ordered it again the next day. It had generous amount of meaty crawfish tails, and the pie crust was incredibly flaky. Every bite was heavenly!

Man, if you in New Orleans, in the down town area you have to try Trenasse. The Oyster log, shrimp and grits the Sampler was all top notch! I recommend this place, TWICE!

I was looking for happy hour specials and this place seemingly had amazing deals. Like almost too good to be true. Well, believe it baby cuz they're real and they are excellent! I stopped in a bit after 4 PM on a Friday and it wasn't busy. I was able to get a table for one. I ordered the half dozen raw oysters, bbq shrimp, & Gator Bait cocktail off the hh menu (all $7 each), and the Intercontinental Oysters off the regular menu. Raw oysters - 5/5 fresh and plump with all the toppings I love. Warning: that horseradish really packs a punch. Even with the tiniest bit, so proceed with caution and treat it like wasabi for sushi BBQ shrimp - 4/5 very good flavors with a little piece of crusty bread to mop up the sauce Gator Bait - 5/5 really good cocktail. If you're a fan of spicy margaritas, you'll love this Intercontinental Oysters - 3.5/5 it was cooked perfectly. I felt the cheese overpowered the oysters too much. Also, maybe I'm not such a huge fan of cheesy/buttery oysters lol Overall, highly recommend this place for their Happy Hour. They also have lunch specials.

A delicious find we discovered close to our hotel. Everything we had was delicious with the Louisiana Crawfish Pie being the standout. Service was good and food came out hot & fresh. Only reason they didn't get 5 stars is they sat us next to entrance of the hotel and it was freezing. My date had to keep his coat on the entire meal. Would definitely go back though.

The noise alone is reason to avoid this restaurant, but also our food server was not friendly and said when asked about the house wines, "I do not recommend any of our house wines." Really? The shrimp was not amazing, I could not recommend them. But my husband's scallops were terrific. The oysters were great. But we simply could not hear one another and this was on a Wednesday evening.

Food was simply perfect especially for a restaurant in a hotel. Ambiance could definitely be made a little more romantic especially for the quality and presentation of the food. 4 stars for service waiter really lacked the English barrier and wasn't helpful at all about specials sides etc.. Drinks that bartender deserve a raise the perfect balance of GOOD taste and STRONG liquor definitely coming back.

Five star food but the hostess was definitely slacking. Stopped by last night 5/21 after viewing some stats and saw they were not too busy, walked in and saw lots of open tables so I was kinda disappointed when the hostess said they were fully booked for the evening. Walked out the door and looked at the OpenTable app and saw TONS of openings, so I grabbed one for 15 minutes later. When I walked back jn 15 minutes and showed her my reservation she was definitely put off but her manager sat me. Service for the rest of the evening was great, bar drinks were a little off but the food was absolutely amazing. The Fried Green Tomato with Crawfish Etouffee was one of the highlights of our trip. The salad was super fresh and served with Green Goddess dressing. The BBQ Shrimp is also very delicious. The cauliflower steak was super dreamy with lots of cheese and spices. I'd love to come back and try the crawfish pie, if the hostess lets me again!

Trenasse Restaurant is located inside the New Orleans Intercontinental Hotel which is on St. Charles Avenue in the CBD. Trenasse opened up back in 2013 which in New Orleans time makes it a relatively new restaurant so I hadn't had a chance to eat here yet and I was excited to finally experience this spot. Several of my other local friends had also not eaten here yet so we scheduled a time and I met a group of my friends here for lunch to enjoy their private dining room space for lunch. For our lunch experience they had some very reasonably priced options and everybody in my group quite enjoyed their food and the overall experience. In fact I so enjoyed my food that I later returned to eat in their normal dining room for dinner to sample the amazing burger I saw they had on the menu. The burger here is HUGE and it is an amazing thing that I was VERY impressed with. I've eaten MANY burgers and this one was one of the best I've ever experienced! The French fries... (I would call them nearly potato logs) this beast of a burger came with were also GIGANTIC and quite delicious as well. If you want to see more details about our lunch experience and my burger experience make sure to watch my video on YouTube and the link is below. My video of Trenasse Restaurant is here: https://youtu.be/0vSY_0lJuUs

I came here last year at the suggestion of a friend who happened to be a former employee. It easily exceeded expectations and adds to New Orleans' claim as a top 3 place for food in the U.S. The food was amazing, especially the crawfish dish that was cooked to perfection. I had a couple of drinks both were tasty, but I was on a Sazerac kick the whole trip so I tried one here to compare to all the other palces. Probably the 2nd best I had in New Orleans The atmosphere was also very pleasant and the service was great. Our server was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The only reason I am not giving this place the full 5 stars is because they charge an extra fee for paying with a credit card and it was unknown prior to receiving the bill. Shell shocker as a person who primarily uses cards. Overall, I had a great experience at this place and would definitely recommend it to others. The food is fantastic and the service is also. Just keep the card tax in mind.

Yesssss for happy hour oysters!! Great deal for half dozen oysters! We are a lot hahah

This might have been the best restaurant we went to during our week long visit to NOLA. Great food. This is everything NOLA food is known for--rich, flavorful, and BOLD flavors. Everything was executed perfectly. Portion was perfect for sharing. Service was sweet and attentive.

Came here and could not make up my mind what I wanted to drink. Our waitress checked back several times. My friends ended up picking my drink in secret and the waitress (Janeth) played along to surprise me! She announced what it was when she brought it out. It was yummy and I appreciated her playing along. I ordered the Fried Brie Burger and fries. The piece of brie that's on this burger is ginormous. It ridiculously big and I love that! The burger is quite impressive from the side. It was cooked perfectly medium as ordered. Cutting the burger in half and watching the brie ooze out was art!! And the fries were delicious as well. Seasoned and amazing. Loved this place. Had such a nice feel. Definitely would get this burger again!

So happy to get to try Trenasse out after having been on my list forever. The restaurant is beautiful and had a musician playing guitar and singing. Food was amazing! Deducted a point since they charged $5 extra for pineapple instead of orange juice with the bottomless mimosas. I mean seriously y'all it wasn't fresh juice! The service was top notch! Thank you to the owner for responding!

Great food! They allow dogs on the patio. The service was excellent after a slight hiccup (forgot about us as we were the only ones on the patio). The service after, more than made up for it. My wife ordered the Shrimp and Grits and said it was the best ever! Even better than the one I make. We travel extensively through the south and live in the Keys, and my wife typically orders the shrimp and grits so she has a lot of experience tasting it. I concur it is the best ever. It has a wonderful vichyssoise type sauce. Nicely cooked shrimp with Andouille sausage and some shrimp balls too. It was heaven. The Bloody Mary was perfect and the coffee was too. I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast and a great place to bring your dogs and have a nice creole style meal.

Had the appetizer size Louisiana crawfish pie and it was delicious. The highlight of my meal was honestly the grits below the pie. Probably one of the best grits I've ever had. Service was super nice too.

Overall, this place was pretty good! We came in on a Thursday night about an hour before closing ( because our flights got in late) and it was the nicest restaurant that was open near us so we gave it a try! The wines were really good, my fiancé got a Malbec that he really liked and I got the Karl Kasper Riesling which I've never had before but was a HUGE fan of. We tried the vegetarian fried green tomatoes which were delicious! For dinner my boyfriend got the fish and vegetables which were heavenly ... like seriously i still have dreams about it to this day. The cauliflower steak however was just not it for me. I thought it was going to be a sliced, marinated, and grilled piece of cauliflower like you usually see at other places.... Instead it was a literal head of steamed cauliflower over a bed of pasta topped with some spicy spinach sauce mix and melted Brie. Overall the flavors just didn't do it for me, but the pasta underneath was pretty good so I picked everything else off and ate that. They had an Oreo cheesecake that was phenomenal though! Not sure if it was a special or not but if not i definitely recommend trying it. Overall i would come back here again and just get a different entree! Very cute spot for a date night and if I remember correctly they had music when we went!

The chicken was good and the red beans and rice and jalapeño corn bread with red pepper jelly, very good portions! Also the grilled Mahi over roasted fingerling potatoes and argula with a lemon beurre sauce

I would not recommend this place nor would I ever go back there again. I picked this place based on the reviews for my Wife's Birthday. Huge mistake!! First, it's inside a hotel and not a small restaurant as I wanted. Second, my wife ordered a steak medium rare and it was the absolute worst steak we've ever had. First, they gave her a dull steak knife to cut it with but, it was so dull, she couldn't cut through it and asked for another knife which was no better. Second, if the steak had been seasoned, you couldn't taste it since it was so bland. She gave me a bite and I was extremely disappointed considering the cost and that it was her Birthday dinner. We even asked the waiter if he knew how they normally seasoned their steaks, he said a very light seasoning on salt and pepper. Well, either it was extremely light or none at all. My Wife had to ask for salt and pepper to try and salvage the steak since she wanted to try and salvage what she could from her dinner which upset me even more. I had the taste of Tenasse and it was very good. Thus, I would not recommend this place nor would I ever go back there again. Tons of other great places to eat in NoLa but, this is not one of them.

So convenient inside the hotel. Top notch service, waiter was extremely attentive! Had lunch, cocktails and one of the best crème brûlée. The kids enjoyed the po boy & gumbo.

Got reservations here on Christmas Eve before a living nativity show we were heading to. The inside was nice. Started out with their oyster sampler and wow that was good. Hard for me to even pick a favorite, just get the platter and share, but make sure to get an order of bread with it. It was freezing out so that means gumbo. It was good and smokey. Definitely what you want in gumbo weather. Food took a little long to come out, which could have been bad since we had a show to get to. It was Christmas Eve though, so what you going to do. It made it out in time for us to make the show so didn't end up being a issue.

I love how they make everything from scratch at this restaurant! Some of the menu items are very unique. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is located inside the Intercontinental hotel so parking is either valet or garage.

My husband and I eat there for lunch often. Good food served in a timely fashion. Trenasse often has delicious specials and a good hamburger!

Po boy was good Service very slow Crab bisque no crab Tried but not again All the parts are there just needs some improvement

This restaurant is located inside of the Intercontinental Hotel. We visited during a festival in New Orleans for brunch. The menu is very unique. Our party took a while to decide what to order due to the limited options. I ordered the crawfish pot pie and the portion size was very generous. The best thing about the brunch was the bottomless mimosas. You have to purchase an entree to get bottomless. It took a very long time for our food. However, our waitress was very friendly and she kept our glasses filled. The restaurant isn't extremely large and very dimly lit. More lightening would have been great. The playlists consisted of great R&B songs but the volume was very low.

Dinner is something I am going go take seriously around New Orleans. I was told to come here for brunch, but I instead came here for dinner, and honestly, I enjoyed it just the same as I would have for a brunch. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, but I really felt like Audrey Griswold from European Vacation. Food just kept coming, almost every second, from almost every angle. It is no wonder I later felt slightly nauseated a few hours after I left. It is not because of the taste of the food, trust me. First, you get complementary pork cracklings. I never even had a pork rind before, so trying this was fun. I later found out it is fried pork fat, so maybe that explains the feeling I had later. I then got a gumbo. Tasty meats, but I got a cup, so it is easy to inhale. Good thing I got a cup, because it is a simple tease to get you through what is to come. For my entree I got a Taste of Trenasse. It contains Louisiana Crawfish Pie, Pan Fried Redfish Meunière, Shrimp & Grits (yes, I just copied and pasted from their online menu). The crawfish pie is superb. Essentially an etufee stuffed in pie crust, it tastes great. Good thing I got a sample size. The redfish is good too. Eat everything around it (green beans and potatoes), because it makes the fish taste better. Apparently so does getting a nice wine, but hey, cut me some slack, I got a long way to go before I cut the cord here. The shrimp and grits work well here too. Creamy grits, good sized prawns, an andouille sausage worthy to be put in with this combo to turn it into a tasty trio. I deliberately punned that. It also comes with corn and one piece of fried alligator. That is where I think this restaurant was trying to kill me. It was a lot of insanity all in a short time. A great first way to end a first day. More to come!
