Wow! One of the grande dames of New Orleans. A very well presented restaurant and a very well executed video!

I love the background music so much! along with your video haha. The music goes well with the historic restaurant.

I’m a Louisiana Girl, from North Louisiana and I first went to Galatoire at 7 yrs old. So fifty yrs ago! They truly have the most excellent service anywhere in the city! My family had the same waiter for 20 yrs as we went back every spring. Many servers are generational. It’s a truly remarkable restaurant! Next is commander’s palace coming in at a close 2nd!! Enjoy and I loved your experience there. Blessings and safe travels! A new fan from Louisiana!! 🎉😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩🥂

It's one of my biggest dreams to visit New Orleans, and eat at Galatoire's. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience. 🌹

Elegantly filmed. Eloquently narrated. Thank you.

Always a special place for family and friends. Hint: Listen closely to what the waiters recommend. They’re top notch.

Love your videos man

A place I’ve been! Your channel reminds me of when I used to drive around the country finding all of the “Diners, drive-ins and dives” places to try. I now have other priorities but this reminds me of good times. ❤

Everything looked absolutely delicious again, James, and the atmophere was really special, for sure. You have a life, man... :)

I look forward to experiencing this restaurant for the first time in a few days. Thanks for the inside look.

Thank you so much for sharing.

You drank the sherry like a shot and you licked your plate. I think that is awesome.

I wish you had had a companion to share this experience with you. Galatoire’s is an extra-ordinary restaurant I have visited on several occasions. My brother is a regular there and on several occasions he has been known to ask the waiter to add tiny live turtles to the turtle soup which causes some excitement!!!

the experience looked really satisfying. the food looked delicious. the plating seemed a bit messy for such a high standard establishment. so good to hear that the service raised the bar and helped elevate the dining experience for you. I was so surprised you chose a humble bread pudding to end your meal but it certainly looked delicious. My mom would always make bread pudding for dessert so maybe that is why I have that idea it is a simpler dessert.

I'm in Phila and ready to head to the airport!!!

Didn't know turtle was still eaten in the US. My grandma (in Mexico) has a very old cookbook that was given to customers in the first supermarket in her hometown. It does have a Turtle Soup recipe but she says that even then it was consider a rare ingredient. I did try turtle soup in China and it was really good.

You should buy a tuxedo if you revisit the restaurant! I imagine it's standard attire for eating turtle in the evening.

The background music was to fancy! Glad to had the Turtle Soup, we don't have that option often. I'm not sure if I would have ordered it.

John just retired last week

It would be fun to order the turtle soup and then eat it really, really slowly 😁

You must be using a very substantial tripod in the closing narration because quite a few people's attention is drawn to what you are doing. BTW, I can't fathom how you find the time to respond to, at least from what I can see, every single comment on your videos; you do an astounding job.

🇺🇸🇺🇸💕💕💕

im surprised the plates came out not wiped on rim or soup cup ~ pretty sloppy for an elegant restaurant

Like many things these days, Galatorie's is NOT what it used to be. In the 70's and 80's, I ate here with my family at least 30 times and I am likely undercounting. In the last 5 years, I have been back twice. The food is not even close to what it once was.

You would think you are in France.

Turtle soup ? 🤬

“Class and elegance”? You didn’t live up to it, and you don’t even pronounce its name correctly. Imagine how much you’d have enjoyed it if you matched its elegance.

This guy gives me Dahmer vibes

I'm surprised they let you in there looking like that.🥱
