Tucked away in the heart of Claremont, The Quarter is a culinary gem that blends Southern charm with California polish. From the moment we stepped in, the experience was memorable—but it was Daniel, our server, who elevated the evening to unforgettable. If you find yourself dining here, do yourself a favor: ask for Daniel. His warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the menu rival service at even the finest restaurants anywhere, at any price point. We took Daniel’s recommendations and were richly rewarded. The Shrimp in Lobster Sauce was decadent and perfectly balanced, while the Catfish was crisped to perfection and full of flavor. It was one of those rare meals where every bite makes you pause in appreciation. Honestly, it'll be tough not to reorder the same dishes next time—but with a menu this strong, I’ll gladly explore further. To finish, the coffee beignets were an absolute treat—just the right nod to Decatur Street and French Quarter cravings. And for a final flourish? A glass of wine from the California Prison System’s own label—surprisingly fantastic and worth trying for the story alone. The Quarter is more than a meal—it’s an experience, and Daniel ensures it's one you won’t soon forget.

My girlfriend saw this place somewhere on the internet since she loves Southern cuisine, finally decided to try it, we had a reservation for 9:30pm and it was not an issue, the kitchen was still fully open, Daniel was our sever and he provided beyond EXCEPTIONAL service and attention, we were given a complementary shrimp & grits as an appetizer and it was delicious. We ordered Crawfish and biscuit appetizer and it was as well delicious, for entree we both ordered the smothered chicken and absolutely delicious, we where STUFFED but they then provided a complementary hearty big scoop of ice cream topped with fresh fruits and caramel, like I mentioned before the service was EXCEPTIONAL, it is a bit pricey but the service and complementary dishes provided made it all the worth while along with all dishes being very high quality, definitely will be coming back , I did order a cocktail and a was very good as well

My wife and I had our anniversary dinner here and it was one of the best meals of our lives!!! As a sober person, I was thrilled to see their non-alcoholic list that included craft mocktails and dealcoholized wine. We chose the Category Zero Hurricane and the Noey Collins as the perfect start to our experience. For appetizers, the Crawfish Pies and Shrimp & Grits were outstanding. For entrees, we took Sebastian’s suggestions which were the Jambalaya and the Fried Quarter Catfish. We had to save room for dessert, so Sebastian kindly boxed up the rest of our meals and we ordered the Croissant Beignets and the Bourbon Bread Pudding. In addition, we were surprised with the best scoop of candied praline ice cream covered in sea-salted caramel and toffee bits. We had to try the Gumbo so we ordered some to-go (which was superb for lunch the next day). Just WOW!!! You can really taste the craft and culture that goes into the food here. Every dish was beyond exceptional, and the entire experience literally almost brought us to tears lol. We live on the East Coast, and it breaks our hearts to know that we won’t have regular access to this incredible restaurant, but we will make it a point to come back one day for another meal here. Many thanks to everyone who made this experience so wonderful!

All I can say was Great! I took my wife, daughter and mother in law for Mother's Day. Everything was great. A 41 mile drive from Baldwin Hills was worth it! We're going back for Father's Day!

This place is AMAZING. I grew up in Louisiana and the food here is as close as you will find outside of there. The atmosphere is amazing. The staff are super friendly. The food is delicious.

We came here for my sister’s 19th birthday and I’m so glad we did!! The food was delicious- we got gumbo, catfish, crawfish, chicken, and salmon. Out of a party of 11, only one didn’t love their meal. My sister didn’t care for her shrimp in lobster sauce but I did and loved it. So I think it’s just her weird tastebuds. Our server Jose was attentive, efficient, and polite. He was also patient with me when I sent two non-alcoholic drinks back (sorry again lol). He took pictures of our party and knew to take multiple at different angles! The ambiance was nice, I especially loved the ceiling and chandelier. Would go here again and again!

Food was a little hit-or-miss for us. Jambalaya side was good, but a little goes a long way. Biscuit with crawfish and ham topping was very good, but very rich. Tomato salad was fine if a little skimpy on the tomato. The main dishes were underwhelming for us. Sautéed catfish was very bland. Pork tenderloin was unlike any tenderloin dish I’ve had. Meat was pounded so thin we thought it was ground meat re-formed into patties. Batter was thicker than the meat. Plus it was very salty, definitely skip this dish. Plating was very dated, see the photos. Overall the flavors were very one-note throughout, but service and atmosphere was nice.
