What up, y’all! I’m back again with another date night review ✨this time for 1803 NYC; a Cajun restaurant located in Tribeca. First off, I love the aesthetic of the place. Decorated with floral elements and fluer de lis fencing, it’s like a small burst of NOLA in NYC. They also sometimes have a band playing live jazz 🎺 Since Babe and I have been exploring all of the raw oyster options we can, I HAD to put him on to the charbroiled version! 1803 NYC does an amazing job with them too; buttery with the perfect amount of spice, they’re definitely a 10/10. We also got some raw oysters, of course. Those were delicious too 🦪 We then got the Brussels sprouts and the sea bass. The Brussel Sprouts were cooked to perfection with a crunchy outer texture and a pillowy inside. And the chilli sauce it comes in? Absolutely BAGING! 🌱As for the sea bass 🐟I wasn’t expecting it to come fried (though I don’t know what I expected after reading cornmeal crusted but ya live and learn right 😭). Either way, the fish was super meaty and well cooked. I also loved the lemon butter caper sauce it came with. Though I personally wasn’t a big fan of the frying mixture used and think the fish would be better served grilled, I enjoyed my overall dining experience✨ Def recommend this spot for a date night or an after work drink 🍸 SN: I LOVE the sauces that come on the table. The Fresno chilli has a vibrant kick while the green sauce was a bit more mellow but packed with flavor. 🌶️
I also wanted to give a quick shoutout to our server, Bridgette! She was super sweet and not only accommodating but also ingenious. When I wanted a refill of my glass, she left me with my original glass and returned with a carafe. I just thought that was so smart (though I’m sure for her it was a no brainer 😂)

Hey Jaida! Thank you so much for sharing this experience in such detail. We're thrilled to hear of your wonderful time dining with us and hope you'll join us again for more! All the best, The 1803 Team
We celebrated family birthdays tonight at the 1803 Entertainment restaurant/bar/local hot spot located in the Tribeca heart of NYC it was phenomenal.
The staff is a group of awesomely beautiful & cool people. The venue & menu is authentic and upscale, yet affordable. The live Cuban band led by Chino Pons is everything. He is a legend & his arrangements are genius.

Absolutely incredible experience at 1803 NYC! From the moment you walk in, the New Orleans–inspired ambiance pulls you right in—warm, vibrant, and full of character. The food is outstanding: rich, authentic flavors, perfectly cooked dishes, and beautifully presented (the gumbo and oxtails are unforgettable). The cocktails are creative and expertly crafted, and the service is attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. 1803 NYC is a must-visit—perfect for date night, celebrations, or anytime you want amazing food and atmosphere.

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Fariha! We're so proud to hear of your wonderful time. Hope to have you back soon!
Visiting for bday from MD and was excited for.2 reasons ...downstairs bar and charbroiled oysters. Arrived early then reservation had extra tome so figured we would try the downstairs bar. Nope no longer open except for events. The decor and layout was very nice and charming. Our server was pleasant and on point. Expresso martini was so good. Shared the chargrilled oysters yummy but small. Shared jambalaya good size serving prices seemed reasonable. Had nice large shrimp perfect blackened chicken and some spicy sausage. No room for dessert. Overall 8/10

Thank you for sharing, Fawn. We love to hear all the details of your visit and hope we can earn a 10/10 next time!
The vibe and energy here was great. Everyone working was really nice. The decor was super aesthetic. Tried food from the dinner menu when I went because I got there only a little before 4. I'd definitely wanna come back to try their brunch menu.

Thanks for letting us know, Lis. Our brunch is some of the best around, we'd love to have you come try! Live jazz from 12-3pm every Saturday & Sunday.
Ordered a burger for lunch, delivered quickly, but the food was just terrible, meat was a disaster.

Thanks for leaving your review, T! We'd love to host you again anytime :)
Our table consisted of 4 and we came after finding out Bubby’s closed at 3:45 without a posting and we were glad we came here instead. The food was good and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing for the city. Eddie greeted us and was very friendly and welcoming, his upbeat personality was just what we needed. I would definitely visit again. I had the short rib Ragu and the rest of the party had the gumbo which they all loved, it was perfect for this windy day.

I cannot wait to go back for the Charbroiled oysters and branzino and collard greens. The drinks were also amazing.
