Reviews
Despite all I've mentioned, there is one thing that exceeds them...or one person. Dionne Dunn is the Reservation Manager of Hotel Monteleone and is the reason compelling this review. She made the impossible possible, last minute, and with the kindness and grace few possess these days. Our situation was unique, unexpected, stressful, and most likely a headache for Ms. Dunn and her staff, but you'd never know it if you were there for the fiasco. Frankly, she would've been within her rights to huff, roll her eyes, speak tersely, or even tell us to kick rocks. Instead, she maintained her professional composure while going above and beyond to save our weekend. Ms. Dunn, if you ever read this, know that you are highly respected, greatly appreciated, and deserving of recognition. Hotel Monteleone may be the jewel of the French Quarter but you, dear lady, are the Queen. Thank you!

The inside of the restaurant was very clean and the staff very helpful. Again I appreciate the Shelf willing to take in order from their dinner menu before dinner actually started.
Pros - Food did come out pretty quick. The Riesling here was sweet, which I like. The crab fingers were actually pretty good.
