Eliza Restaurant

Brian the server and young architect: My wife and I have worked in fine dining, Ruth's Chris and Brennan's, New Orleans; most servers find a way to irk me and disappoint. Brian's service was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and friendly without getting in the way of our date. Food: You can scarcely complain about any of the creole and New Orleans fusion served at Eliza; we have been loyal in particular for the gluten free fried seafood. For such a high quality place, however, I was disappointed to learn they are still using the industrial biproduct, "vegetable" oil, in their fryer instead of beef tallow or at least refined peanut oil (which does *not* cause allergic reactions). I selfishly hope Eliza's can commit to clean oils in their kitchen, so they can once again be our go-to for fried seafood and perfect destination to show out of town friends a refined but casual experience of excellent south Louisiana fare.

I ALWAYS stop here when I’m in town. Food is magnificent, staff is super nice and extremely knowledgable. Every single dish I have eaten has been absolutely wonderful. I have celiac and have a very hard time finding places to eat out. this restaurant is extremely safe, I’ve never had an issue as many times as I’ve been here. They take great care in preparing gf dishes. I cannot get food like this anywhere else. Absolutely nothing compares to the variety the quality and the amazing taste of every dish. Everything is always amazingly fresh and great quality. Generous portions also. This is always my first stop and my last stop when I’m in town! They even have Friday seafood platter which I cannot ever have because of my celiac fried green tomatoes. They have all the Louisiana dishes that I missed and so much more. 100/10!

The seafood platter is divine! Eliza is consistent yet seasonal, and offers many great Gluten free options. A hidden gem and must try in BR
