What the experts agree on
Beloved Uptown institution for contemporary Creole classics—oysters St. Claude, fried green tomatoes with shrimp remoulade, and legendary gumbo—served in a quirky, art-filled, romantic space locals adore.
“Upperline's seven-course Taste of New Orleans menu offers such traditional dishes as shrimp remoulade on a thick slice of fried green tomato.”
– Gayot
Concierge "The bistro-style menu is long on earthy, comforting flavors: duck with ginger-peach sauce, veal grillades over rich cheese grits, an outstanding duck and andouille étouffée."

Frommer's "In a small, charming house in a largely residential area, Upperline eschews the high-profile route (unless you count appearances on Treme and The Best Thing I Ever Ate)." Full review
