Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Mid-City / City Park

Great food service and ambience, I've been back a few times

Ralph’s is like your uptown friend, always there for you and always great to be with. The best turtle soup in NO and apps way beyond compare . City Park views from the best balcony in town and a wait staff second to none.

Everytime I drove past Tacos Del Cartel, I knew I wanted to see the inside and be immersed in the full experience. The facade is dripping with ambiance and curb appeal that grabs your interest and draws you in. The floral and fantastic interior and exterior design is top shelf. Stepping inside, the ambiance is full, robust, and perfectly balanced with natural lighting during the day and a sensual dimmed experience at night. The food was beautifully and artistically prepared, plated, and served. The flavors match the colorful palette of every plate. I can't wait to return to sit in a new section and view this experience from a new angle. I can say the same for the food. Everything we ordered was a delicacy. Where I usually stick to what I know and like, I can see myself exploring the full menu here. Everything was crafted artfully and bursting with rich flavors and complimentary tastes. The inside overall volume level was perfect for an intimate conversation, and occasionally bumped up to party level to celebrate birthdays and SHOTS! We didn't come to celebrate any specific occasion, per se', many people do. As necessary, the volume ramps up to a full blown fiesta and you find yourself pausing you meal and conversation to enjoy the moment, toast your table mates and get a newfound sense of joy. This is the place to celebate any occasion, including treating yourself to dinner. We cant wait to go back for a fresh and exciting experience again.

Really loved my time here. Had a birthday dinner with friends and it was so beautiful. Megan was the best and we all had a great night.

Superb, superb, SUPERB! I mean from the ambiance to the service—it was outstanding. Walking in definitely gave me New Orleans vibes because of all the art and decor. The food—the Lamb Shank is what I ordered. This was divine. Made to perfection. Lamb was tender and cooked perfectly. This place was amazing. We will be definitely coming back for more.
