We had a coupon for a free entrée when buying another entrée, so we decided to check it out. I was in the mood for a beer and a burger, and I figured a brewery would do burgers just fine. Unfortunately, the coupon didn’t apply to sandwiches, only entrees, which were a higher price. Since it was a "buy one, get one free" deal, we switched our orders. My boyfriend ordered the Red Fish St. Louis, and I ordered the Southern Crispy Duck. I had already ordered a Red Stallion, so I went with the duck since I was already eyeing that item on the menu, and it was recommended to pair with the Red Stallion beer.

When we received our orders, we were pleasantly surprised. The fish tasted wonderful, and the duck was superb! Both had accents of spice and were just delicious. I have never had duck taste that way. I have had duck on many occasions, but the way it was cooked here was unique. To top it off, the check which was originally over $50 was cut down to only $30 because of the coupon. The meal was worth it at the original price. The coupon was icing on the cake. I will definitely go back to try more items on their menu.

The Crescent City Brewery, at first glance, seems to posses a relaxed and more reputable atmosphere than the tacky tourist traps that line the streets of the French Quarter, but do not be deceived. I ordered a house brew (which was neither bad nor extraordinary) and a lunch entrée, and my guest did the same. The waiter proceeded to inquire whether we would like either 1) gumbo or 2) a small Caesar salad, phrasing and intonating the question in the exact manner that legitimate establishments do when asking whether you'd prefer the soup or salad option with your meal. "Gumbo or salad... hmmmmm... gumbo, I guess." We received the gumbo, which was very watery. It didn't possess a delicate, fresh taste that one would expect from a gumbo of such consistency, but rather felt like a watered-down, canned preparation. Well, at least it came with the meal. It didn't, of course. My guest and I were charged $5 for a small, teacup-sized serving of a very unsatisfactory gumbo we didn't intend to order. The manager was extremely unsympathetic as I described the deceptive manner in which the waiter slipped these additional charges onto our tab. He actually defended the server by explaining that he was "doing his job" by utilizing an "upselling technique," the sort of behavior engaged in by movie theaters and fast-food establishments. He never offered to delete the charges from the tab and refused to remove them when I pointedly made the request. Excellent establishments succeed and flourish by providing memorable meals, courteous service, and reputable management attuned to the concerns of the customer. Crescent City Brewery is lacking in all of these categories, and thus it seems the establishment resorts to balancing it's books with tasteless upselling scams that raised by particular check total by 25%. It isn't merely a bad place to eat, with mediocre fare and uncaring service; you may literally leave feeling victimized, without any means of recourse. Please avoid.

Excellent place to sit on the outdoor balcony and enjoy delicious foods. We had the filet mignon, which was excellent. Decatur has a tourist info center that sells tours, etc--ask them if they have a coupon to this restaurant. The lady in the info center had buy one entree, get one free, which saved us about $30!

This is a working brewery where you can order their own brewed beers if you so desire. I didn't try them, but the other patrons seemed pleased with their beers.

Crescent City is the only brewhouse in the French Quarter. It is situated on Decatur St. looking out over the river. We had a wonderful dining experience here. We ate out on the balcony hanging over the street, only two blocks from Jackson Square. The warm sounds of a local jazz band downstairs helps saturate the night air that is so specific to New Orleans.

The menu offers more than the traditional New Orleans cuisine. It is an eclectic mix of several flavors and styles of cooking. Their beer selection was suberb and the waiter offered suggestions regarding that went well with our meals.

The building itself offers a rich historic past, as it is one of the buildings in New Orleans' original city plan. The new design blends modern style well with remnants of historic New Orleans culture. We even decided to stay for dessert and I had some of the best tiramisu that I've ever eaten. It was as big as the plate! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting New Orleans.

Exceptional service and the people were so "friendly" and accommodating. The ribs I got here had to be the best I have ever tasted and they were so tender. They were served with potatoes and a loaf of bread. They also have a selection of several of their very own beers for only $6.95.
