Went to Apolline for brunch and had a nice experience. The inside is elegant and clean, and service was good. Our table ordered the chicken and waffles, eggs apolline and a smoked salmon toast along with a few drinks. The cocktails were tasty and well made, and food overall was good-- the fried chicken being especially well made and tasty-- though I found the eggs apolline a little dry especially since the biscuit seemed dry and the seafood not super tender, thought the flavor was good. The hollandaise sauce also had a bit of an underdone roux taste. For the price of the dish it did seem a little overwhelming, but still enjoyable to eat. The smoked salmon toast was good but also basic. Overall a nice brunch and would come back for those chicken and waffles and the drinks.
I can't say enough good about this restaurant. My BF and I were visiting from Texas and he had said how good this place was. Well it far exceeded my expectations. We had brunch with bottomless poinsettia and mimosas. Then came the maple pecan crusted bacon, then the avocado toast, and main course, the poached eggs with hollandaise sauce topped with seafood. I must have said "This is so delicious! " multiple times. My palate was so happy!! The waitress was a sweetheart and gave us impeccable service, and the owner was also very nice and hospitable . From start to finish, an amazing experience. Would definitely go back!
One of our all-time favorite meals in NOLA. Their staff is truly first-class, and all three main menu items we ordered were knock-outs. And the desserts... we're not sure if they should be legal in all 50 states! 6/5 stars!
Went for bottomless mimosas and let's just say they did not disappoint! They never went bottomless. I ordered the chicken and waffles and the waffles were good, the chicken was a little flavorless, nice crisp to it but I needed to add hot sauce. The grits were delicious! We had a lovely time. The place is bright and clean with a warm ambiance. Great place to stop for a good bite and great drinks!
Been coming to this place for years and it never disappoints. Wait take that back only disappoints me that they aren't open on Monday and Tuesday. The location is perfect the service is always welcoming and the food is consistently flavorful and timely. Also the ambiance is the perfect mix of casual with classy. I typically go for the bottomless mimosa and the ratios are perfect and if you want a little more or less of something they are on it. Check this place out if you haven't already.

The omelette at Apolline is so fluffy I'm gonna die. There's nothing despicable about brunching at this Uptown establishment though. Sit out on the porch and watch the folks moseying down Magazine Street. Or dine inside and enjoy the elegant decor. The choice is yours... or maybe your server's. I advise you to be a good patron and ask before sitting.
Going to Apolline is definitely worth the hassle of parking on Magazine! Haha But seriously, Apolline is definitely one of the cutest restaurants in the city. My mom and I love to just come here and sit for while to eat. We both LOVE breakfast food so it's always a good choice for us. I get the eggs Apolline every time I come and the omelet MELTS in your mouth. It's incredibly flavorful and filling. Of course, you can't come here without getting a good ole mimosa. The servers are not trying to rush you out and they're always so incredibly sweet. I could truly sit in here for hours with my girls or solo. Apolline is a must try!
