Gallier's Restaurant & Oyster Bar

First time in New Orleans and found this restaurant near my location. Once there I was greeted by kind staff who quickly seated me. Giving this restaurant 5 stars because of the amazing customer service and great food that I had to begin my adventure in New Orleans. I ordered a beer after asking our server to give suggestions on something local. To my surprise the server was very aware of the beer selections and prior to letting me buy it, I was given some to taste. Attention to the customer was spot on. Ate oyster and they were all delicious. This was followed by an amazing fried osyter sandwich with fries. Fries were well season and crispy. The sandwich itself was great. I wish the oyster were seasoned a bit more, but it was still good. I left with a great impression of food around the area and satisfied this was my first experience eating in New Orleans. Customer service was attentive and friendly.

One of the reasons why I love New Orleans is charbroiled oysters. I have tried all famous places, but the oyster I had here was the best. Very fresh and tasty. Acme or Eds give you small mid quality oysters at best, as they don't need to be good. Tens of people wait to have whatever the location serves. But Gallier's oysters are pretty big and fresh. Definitely my go to place for oyster.

I'm always on the lookout for a good happy hour, so after a not happy hour priced Ramos Gin Fizz at the Sazerac Bar, my travel buddy and I headed nearby to Gallier's. It was mid afternoon on a pretty crummy day, weatherwise, so the place was pretty quiet and service was attentive, but not obnoxious. The raw oysters were cold, fresh and delicious as was the pear elderflower cocktail I had. We also sampled the Oyster Trio and decided that the Creole style (a Gallier's original) was our favorite.
