If Cochon wins hands down the best roaster/charbroiled oysters in New Orleans, no one can beat Mr. B's Bistro's soft shell crab. Since I am a huge fan of crabs- I can eat for hours on end with just crabs during the time in my life when I didn't have to think about heartburn-, I was amazed with the crispy, succulent fried crabs. Not too salty nor too oily. I cleaned out my whole plate down to the last crab meat and was in 'crab heaven'.

Although the oysters for appetizers failed in comparison to Cochon or Drago's and the dessert was forgettable, customer service at this buzzing, casual bistro is excellent. One of the wait staff accidentally spilled water on one of my dinner companions, but the manager quickly offered his business card so they can pay for dry cleaning! I was amazed one more time with the gracious gesture.

If you are in need for a seafood fix New Orleans style, come to Mr. B's Bistro. Dive straight into the seafood entrees.

Deep fried oysters. The lemon juice balances the oily oysters but the creamy sauce was too much.

Love, love, love this soft shell crab with lumps of fresh crab meat on top. Happy dance! :P

Simple, unmemorable dessert. I would have opted for a palette cleanser, such as sorbet.
