Very tasty food. I went to their jazz brunch. The food was great and I liked the cocktail pitchers. Music was okay but an added bonus. It was not Dixieland jazz or anything you'd hear in New Orleans. It wasn't too loud for chatting which was nice

We came to 1803 NYC to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and had such a fantastic time! This was our second visit, and it definitely won’t be our last. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful—super friendly, attentive, and provided top-notch customer service. The rest of the staff was just as impressive—everyone was helpful and on point. The food was delicious! We especially loved the ribs and the charbroiled oysters—they were packed with flavor. The mac and cheese was a standout for me: rich, creamy, and so satisfying. The gumbo and brussels sprouts were just okay, but everything else more than made up for it. A really thoughtful touch was when they surprised my mom with beignets for her birthday—they were warm, sweet, and really tasty. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience with great vibes, great food, and great service. We’ll definitely be back.

1803 was southern comfort, LGBTQ pride, excellent service, and great cuisine rolled up in one. We were pleasantly surprised. We were warmly greeted and taken to our tables immediately. The ambiance is a rustic, welcoming almost homely vibe. None of the unnecessary flair that you find at other restaurants looking to trend. We were greeted by a handsome young man named Calvin who was very mannerly and attentive. He took our orders and answered questions. The food was brought out hot and in a reasonable amount of time. The food was delicious and there had not a single empty plate at the table when we finished. The was a jazz band playing light music that was very soothing as it was not loud music-just mellow and smooth. Even staff who weren’t waiting on us conversed with us casually- not pretentious or over the top. The mood was so light the we didn’t want to get up but staying longer without ordering more would have been rude. If I am around the area I would definitely go back and I would say try 1903 and bring a friend or two. Only downside is that the menu is not extensive, but I guess that’s what makes them master the menu options to customers delight.

I'll get straight to the point. We went with a large group. We ordered the gumbo, the jambalaya, the burger, the French toast, The oysters and even a salad. I cannot tell you one thing that I didn't like. It was all amazing. My favorite was the gumbo and the oysters and the employees there were all really nice. I can't wait to go back again. I definitely want to try the shrimp Po boy.

I really enjoyed my meal at 1803 NYC. The seafood was cooked well and full of flavor, and the service was friendly without being overbearing. It’s a nice place for a casual dinner or a night out.

Great atmosphere in and outside. Reasonable prices. Service very friendly and fun. Escargot delicious. Shrimp plump and juicy with a great sauce. Paella a bit dry so they brought out a very tasty sauce to liven it up. The ribs appetizer was the standout falling off the bone.

Perfect brunch experience!! The food was delicious. The live music excellent. Atmosphere was inviting and fun. The bread pudding was the best thing I ate in a long time. Incredible mixture of chocolate, caramel ice cream and of course bread pudding. Highly recommend!

Great Creole restaurant with an awesome vibe! Came here on a weeknight. I made sure to make reservations ahead of time, since the restaurant tends to be busy. The place was crowded, but we got a table on the second floor right away. For appetizers, we ordered the Honey Chili Brussels Sprouts and the Cajun Shrimp Skewers. Both were delicious with a ton of flavor. 5/5 for appetizers. For my entree, I had the Cornmeal-crusted Black Sea Bass. It was also really good. The fish was seared perfectly, the vegetables and lemon butter sauce combined with it perfectly. 4.5/5 for entree. For dessert, we shared the Hummingbird cake. I enjoyed the cake filling, which was coffee flavor, more than the rest of the cake. 4/5 for dessert. I think next time I might order the Beignets or Bread Pudding. The atmosphere gets a 5/5 for me. And the service was very good. I think this is a great restaurant to experience the New Orleans vibe without leaving NYC.

I had such a lovely time at their jazz brunch. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The cocktail pitchers were a great touch and perfect for sharing at the table. The live music created a pleasant vibe and felt like a nice extra to the whole experience. It was easy to enjoy conversations without the music overpowering the space, which made the brunch even more enjoyable. Definitely a five star experience for me.
