Feedback
Despite the noise and sagging balcony, Cornet offers a mixed experience. Some found the service and food quality lacking, advising to skip it. Others enjoyed the delicious meals, patient waitstaff, and lively atmosphere, making it a highlight of their NOLA visit. With great people-watching, decent food, and a fun environment, it's a good spot for a meal or drink on Bourbon Street. While some find the noise and weak drinks a drawback, the overall experience leans more towards the positive side. Patrons suggest grabbing a seat on the balcony for the best experience at this jazz festival capital spot.
The host informed me that they do not take reservations, despite my booking a table for 14 people a month in advance. However, it was not a problem as we were still able to be seated and order our meals without any issues. It was a bachelor party, and we were quite boisterous, which seemed to bother the three older women sitting next to us, who made some comments under their breath as we left. I chose not to react, as I couldn't help but think, "You do realize you're on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, right? It's not exactly a quiet dining spot." Nonetheless, the food was delicious, and the service was satisfactory. Everyone in our group enjoyed the meal.
While attending Jazzfest in town, our group of 6 had a delightful dinner at Cornet before heading to see the Preservation Hall Jazz Band across the street. Our server was patient and efficient, answering all of our questions about the regional menu selections and delivering our meals promptly. We all agreed that the dinner was a standout experience during our culinary adventure in New Orleans, and we would definitely recommend Cornet to others. We hope to visit again in the future.
We came across this place, while the bourbon road to foot, when the host saw us a question whether we had a bite to eat and sit on the balcony overlooking the bourbon street! we were so glad we wanted to come here. the view from the balcony was amazing and the food was delicious! they had so many drinking options and everyone we tried was delicious and unique! it was a super fun environment and every worker was friendly and upbeat. I highly recommend here! Make sure to sit on the balcony for the best experience!
The staff was friendly and attentive. I grabbed a burger and she grabbed some pasta. Great corner spot on bourbon street. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Loved it! Sat on upper balcony with nice view of Bourbon Steet antics. Waitress was super friendly. Just had appetizers on way to a tour alligator bites were great and sampler plate with jumbalaya, gumbo and red beans/rice was fantastic too! Perfect tasting of New Orleans favorites. Would recommend! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
