We found Langlois as Trip Advisor #1 restaurant, so we booked before our trip to New Orleans. First of all, if you book on opentable, be aware that you have to pay within 48 hours otherwise your reservations will be cancelled. Understand it only has capacity for 16 people, but the cancellation policy is very strict, once you give them your credit card information, you cannot cancel it, but they allow you to reschedule. If you don't live in New Orleans, I would recommend you not to book it, until you are 100% sure that you can attend that evening.
We took the hop on hop off bus, and walked around & felt a bit insecure in that neighbourhood. & it is located in the same block where there is a XXX store. We were there early, so they told us to come back later. I would recommend to take the taxi to & from only as it is the neigbourhood to walk around.
The name as interactive is quite misleading, as I am really expecting to be cooking all 3 courses with my partner with the chef's instructions. For 12 people, we are sharing only 2 induction portable stove tops. We were taught to make crepes only, which was used for crepe suzette later on finished by the chef. And one guest toss the salad. We did not even know how main course was done. For $99 per person x 2 people + $30 wine pairing per person x 2 people = $260 + taxes & 18% gratuities, with a simple salad, pork chop on beans, and praline, good that she has added the crepe suzette as dessert, otherwise you'll only have 1 piece of praline per person. We went to over 10 smart casual to fine dining restaurants while we were in New Orleans that week, and this $99 is really overpriced. For $99, we were expecting us to be fully participating by cooking every course of our meal at our own cooking station like a cooking class. We went to Emeril's, Antoine, Toma's Bistro & etc, and you can can wine & dine for 2 people under $150, and receive exceptional food quality &service which is half of what we paid at Langlois!
