Ralph's on the Park

Ralph’s on the Park in NOLA is a riot! I kicked off with an old fashioned—booze that hugs like grandpa—and an extra dirty martini so briny it smirked at me. Our server Katie was amazing, juggling plates and jokes like a pro, making the night even better. The Shrimp Skully, tempura-fried with pepper jelly, was a sweet-spicy party in my mouth. Crawfish Bisque? So rich it could’ve bought me a car. Redfish on the Half-Shell Piccata, with its lemony-caper sauce, made me forget how to blink, while the Tempura Soft Shell Crab in soy-ginger cream had me seeing stars. Dessert was a zesty Limoncello Ricotta Cheesecake and a Blackout Doberge Cake that laughed at my diet. Ralph’s is fancy, fun, and a must-visit—go now!

The food is phenomenal. But aside from that, the staff is absolutely wonderful. We came in to escape the thunderstorm during the July 3rd fireworks show. The place was packed and the staff was redlining it. Despite all that, they still managed to seat us at the bar without a reservation. I later learned that they did this five minutes before closing. They were so kind and they would have been well justified to turn us away. Amazing people and a great establishment!

We all got the, Three appetizers and a glass of wine special, also a Martini and dessert was ordered. I was honestly disappointed in all of my appetizers! I felt the best part of the meal was the red wine I ordered.

I had the most amazing birthday dinner here! I was celebrating my 21st with family and friends, and I truly could not have asked for a better time. Our waitress (Rachel, if I remember correctly) was so so so kind and went out of her way to make the dinner so fun. She even wrote a sweet note on my takeout box of my doberge chocolate cake about the best pairings for it. We also got an extra round of champagne and a nectar sundae for my birthday! All of the food and cocktails were delicious. I will definitely celebrate there again!

Took my wife here for a brunch date during Coolinary Month. Everything was perfect! Our server Corinna, was great! We started off with "Slow-Cooked Pork Collards" which was so good and the " Bananas Fosters Dutch Baby Pancake." Wow. Then we had their very delicious "Louisiana Shrimp & Grits" as well as their incredible "Bacon Confit Rabbit Leg." For dessert we tried their "Blackout Doberge Cake" which I liked a whole lot more than the "Panna Cotta." My wife liked the panna cotta but said she had better. I never had that before so to me it was weird. Looked cool but felt weird in my mouth. I'll pass. Over all this place is a must try!

If you’re searching for the perfect venue to host a wedding and reception, Ralph’s on the Park exceeded our expectations of both the food and service. We rented the second floor for our wedding with 75 guests and a five piece band. Julie helped us pick out a menu that offered something for everyone and we had open bars at both ends of the balcony. The food was incredible. Everything from the passed apps to the carving stations to the dessert table was amazing. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was. The service was impressive. The wait staff and bartenders went above and beyond, ensuring that every guest felt welcomed, attended to, and immersed in our special day. Thanks to Ralph’s on the Park, our wedding and reception were more than just a celebration—they were an experience we and our guests will cherish forever.

The Banana Foster Dutch Baby Pancake was delicious, and the Redfish on the Half Shell was really good. The Slow Cooked Pork Collard, however, was just okay, while the Bacon Confit Rabbit Leg was tough and the pearl pasta it came with wasn’t enjoyable. The chocolate cake was overly rich, and the Blueberry White Chocolate Bread Pudding was too thick. On the positive side, the service was impeccable, but overall I wouldn’t recommend this spot for a coolinary brunch.

Went for the coolinary brunch menu with a small group. Service and atmosphere were good, food was just ok. Most dishes in our group were just kinda dry in some way, needed sauces or something.
