"My friends and I are visiting from NYC for Southern Decadence and were excited to try the local restaurants. We decided on Croquette as the first dinner on our trip, but regretted that decision by the end of our meal. Since we were a large group of 10, we had to reserve in two groups per restaurant restrictions. Upon arriving at the restaurant, the host and manager rudely informed us that we wouldn’t be able to sit together as they were informed of our split reservations at the last minute. It was just strange to us that sitting us all in tables close together would be such a major problem since there were plenty empty tables at the time of our arrival and the checks could still be split per table so no issues for the staff. The manager continued to be rude and aggressive towards us stating “This is just how I run my restaurant.” I was shocked by his level of unprofessionalism and lack of hospitality towards his patrons. It even got worse after we ordered our food. The main dishes took almost an hour to get to our table. To add insult to injury, there were many other tables that received their dishes earlier than us even though being seated after us. My friend was even charged for a drink he never received during dinner. All in all, the dishes were mediocre, so even that wasn’t consolation enough for the poor service we received. This restaurant really put a damper on the beginning of our first evening. I truly hope this is not indicative of what NOLA has to offer in fine dining experiences."
