The only reason to go here is the movie theatre. The shopping is pretty much limited to a Saks, a J Crew, and a Banana Republic. We spent more time in the Starbucks than in the few stores that were there. But, since we had time to kill on a rainy Saturday, we ended up seeing a movie. The movie... More

The movies at Canal Place were a real treat. The theaters are very small with a cozy intimate feeling--no large crowds here. I liked the fact that we could select our seats, which I never saw in a movie house before. The price was a little high, but not bad considering we could take the trolley there and not have... More

Leather seats were very comfortable. Couldn't believe the $14 weekend admission price, though -- seems awful high for NOLA. Reserved seating, food & beverage served by waitstaff. More

The main disappointment was the theatre. Visiting from out of town and looking forward to a good movie after a long day of shopping and walking. Im in agreement with the other reviews and be advised no one under 18 is allowed. More

Best thing about Canal Place is that it has a parking garage and they used to validate parking tickets. I am just not a browser. I usually have something specific in mind before I venture into a mall or shopping center. It's not usually packed busy so that's nice too. More

The overall concept of the theater is nice, but some aspects of it can be distracting. During the movie, which is rather expensive ($14.00 per person), the waiters are constantly bringing food, wine, etc. to guests. Then, toward the end of the movie, they start issuing the bills, which can cause another distraction. The couple next to me ordered 3... More

Apparently the people who wrote the previous comment have not been to canal place in a while. Whereas the Gucci closed, a new store opened in its place called Jean Therapy which carries all brands of designer jeans including Seven, True Religion, Rock and Republic and many others. They have never let me down. My only complaint is that Saks... More

I had high hopes for this mall, since we were staying just a block away. Saks Fifth Avenue beckoned me. What a let down! I had ruined my Gucci driving shoes and wanted to replace them. I read the mall had a Gucci. Nope. Closed. I knew Saks carries Gucci. Well, they carry Gucci high heels. The salesman was very... More

A souless shopping centre full of the usual generic stores. I love to shop, but this did nothing for me. Try Riverwalk if you need clothing. More
