Saint John

“Chef Darren Chabert did his thing. the thing. This place is a "Haute Creole," with soulful soulful. Oysters Saint John: A signature creamy poached oyster, dressed and served in a vol-au-vent. 10/10. ​Smothered Turkey Necks: A beloved comfort dish braised in rich brown gravy and served alongside. This is the ultimate "if you know, you know" dish.15/10 Beef Tartare grilled bread looks perfectly charred to handle the seasoned beef 9/10”

“This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had, not only in New Orleans, but in general. Our server, Courtney, knew the finer details of service and made us feel like we were eating in the living room. Chef Darren and Sous Chef Mike maintain the heart and soul of good cooking; the way it should be.”

“Such a cute little place to stop in and have a quick bite and cocktail. Although it is a full restaurant also. Nice atmosphere inside with good service. We had drinks and the Boudin egg rolls. Both were delicious. Love the outside street dining also.”

“We came in while on our trip to NOLA for happy hour. Even through we only got 2 smalls plates and the corn, everything was amazing. My only complaint is that we didn’t order more. If we find ourselves back in the area, this is the first stop I’ll be making. Excellent spot if you want good food and a break from the hustle and bustle of Bourbon St.”

“Chef Michael's dishes at Saint John are true culinary artistry; they're incredibly fresh and articulate. You don't just eat the food, you experience the level of craftsmanship and thought expressed in each dish. In New Orleans' world-class food scene, where the culinary bar is set impossibly high, this place genuinely stands out. It's a must-try for anyone who appreciates thoughtful, high-quality dining. Will be back soon!”
