Is there balcony dining?

Was there today and they had a balcony with tables set up but no one was out there due to the weather.

Do you need a reservation for this restaurant?

No, but it is highly recommended on weekends.

Do you serve food until 1 am?

No. But there is 1 place I went to was called Déjà vu near the hotel I had stayed and they were open 24 hrs. But you need an Id to go in and had to be 21.

Will Chartres House be open Thanksgiving day 2018

I'd call them to ask. They have a phone

What a location and atmosphere! Views are awesome. Stopped here along a foodie tour and while the group had a PO Boy, they made me some Fried Green Tomatoes, they were delicious as that was my first time eating them... Hurricane was also amazing

Alex was an amazing server!! She was attentive to our needs. We were a big group and can be loud. She joined in on the fun and made us feel welcome. She took the order perfectly and read it back so there was no issues. Everything came out great and tasted great. Ty for making our night a special one! We look forward to coming back next year!

Spend a week trying various restaurants and locations around the French Quarter, comparing it to other (similar) restaurants around the area this one by far had the largest portion sizes for the price paid. Not too expensive and actually filled us up. Red beans and rice came with fried chicken tenders and smoked sausage on it. Would recommend since it is close to Bourbon St and the rest of the French Quarter.

Extremely disappointed in our experience. Waited over an hour and a half for our food with no acknowledgement from any staff or manager that this was out of the ordinary. When the food did finally arrive, neither order was prepared correctly and still no acknowledgement of the wait. There are too many other options for good food and atmosphere in the French Quarter for us to ever consider going back.

Stumbled upon this place randomly with my wife. We looked at the menu outside and decided to pop in for some appetizers. We had the spinach and artichoke with fried bowtie pasta, which was superb! The corn and crab bisque and fried green tomatoes were not the best I've ever had, however it was still very good. The restaurant had a bar and an open seating arrangement, with tables inside or outside. The service was very quick and our waitress was very attentive and nice. Overall my experience was good and I would recommend you try it at least once. I will be coming here again. I only took off one star because a drop of water from the ceiling fell from a pipe onto the back of my shirt while I was sitting at my table inside and I was concerned about whether or not this was happening to my food. Otherwise, the place was fairly clean!

Very quant with friendly staff. Only ate appetizers, but they were yummy. We essentially created our own sampler and I consider it a win. The fried alligator was on the chewy side, but overall it was a great meal.

If you want to get away from the crowds on Bourbon St. Stop in this little dive bar. Didn't eat but got a couple strong rum drinks. Bartender was nice and gave us recommendations of other off Bourbon local places to hit.

Omg. We loved the Chartres house! The food and drinks were excellent! My son raved about the cheeseburger!!! The Cajun Mary was Awesome! My husband loved his food too!!! We happened to be walking down the street and stopped to look at the menu. It looked good and the staff was very welcoming! I’m glad we went in! The restaurant is pretty close to the river and the near the St Louis Cathedral as well. We will go back for sure!!!! Excellent experience! 🍹🍔

Authentic Cajun restaurant with amazing food and even better service. We were happily greeted from the start and given a comfy table by one of the open sets of French doors, which was perfect for people-watching and giving our pup a cool break after a long day of walking. The servers and other guests were super accommodating of our dog, doting on him and asking us if they could give him treats and pets, which of course we obliged!Our server, Renee, was top-notch and made our experience everything we hoped for. She was the epitome of what we expected from New Orleans: laidback, funny, helpful, and best of all, prompt with our food and drinks. She even allowed me to charge my phone in the crew break room while we ate, and delivered it back to me when we were finishing up without me having to say anything.I would definitely recommend Chartres for anyone searching for a dog-friendly sitdown restaurant in NOLA. All in all, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is unmatched!

This was our first meal upon arriving in New Orleans, recommended by our Lyft driver as a good example of Cajun food. We weren't disappointed. Service was great, welcoming us in as we approached. We had deliciously fresh oysters two ways: raw and broiled. I had good red fish Chartres House style (topped with bbq gulf shrimp) and my boys had a shrimp po' boy and jambalaya. Tasty stuff. There was also a good selection of local beers. All of this is just a short walk from Jackson Square. We would go back.

Hand down the best food that I ate in New Orleans! I ordered the roast beef po-boy because the staff suggested it, and it was incredible. The oysters that they served us were some of the freshest oysters that I have ever eaten. On top of it all, the staff was friendly and prompt.

Nice authentic-y New Orleans bar with typical food and drink options and backyard. Had some fun here on a busy Saturday in March. Steps away from the ultra-busy Jackson square area and never-quiet bourbon street. A second line came passing by. I ate a bugler with blue cheese and bacon and my wife had the gumbo. Both were great! Super local beer options and fancy drinks too. Bartender Aaron was a character.

As tourists, my fiancé and I were curious to try Cajun food so we decided to eat dinner here. The setting has a nice comfy feel with a full bar, oyster bar, and open doors. It gets a little cold so I'd recommend a jacket. We were greeted right away and the servers were able to help with recommendations. My ordered the Cajun Pasta while my fiancé ordered the shrimp po-boy. The pasta was a safe choice but it was so good! So good that I had to share with my fiancé. The shrimp po-boy was overfilled with crispy shrimp, I had to give it a try myself. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting NOLA.

Very good food, great atmosphere, nicely priced. The Fried Green Tomato Chips, Duck Empanadas, Crab Bisque and Buttery Pecan Pie are delicious! Servers are pleasant and attentive ... this is a regular spot for us. We can expect a good meal regardless what we order. Just wish the portions were larger.

On my first night in the French Quarter I stumbled upon this place. At first I thought it was a little pricey, but when the food came out I was proven wrong. Probably the best place I ate at in New Orleans. The gumbo was even better than that at The Gumbo Shop. The food was beyond delicious! The wait staff was friendly and the atmosphere was calm and relaxed; even though the food was upscale. Definitely would come back next time I’m in the area!

What a great place! We actually stopped in with a party of four and we all got different appetizers so that we could get a great variety and taste more of the city has to offer. We will be back to try a full meal. The staff is so friendly and fun and made great suggestions for all of us. The atmosphere is great and in tune with the area. We will definitely be back when we are in the area again.
