"the chicken and waffles is a must!! we came here for my sisters 21st birthday brunch and they did not disappoint. this was the highlight of our dining experience in new orleans."

"We were those people who showed up right at the end of happy hour, but before our reservations. I know, I know. But, the host and bartender couldn’t have been more friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. We were able to order some drinks from the happy hour menu (the whiskey sour was top notch), then we were seated slightly ahead of our reservation time. We were immediately greeted by our server whose personality, attentiveness, and service were all amazing. We then dove into the focused, creative menu for an exquisite dinner. The gumbo du jour is easily the best seafood gumbo I have eaten. Rich, deep, spicy, and briny…just perfect. The red snapper special was exceptional, the truffle beet purée unlike anything I’ve had and the way it married with the fish was unreal. The harissa cauliflower was surprisingly delicious. The duck leg…whoa. The greens were so, so good. Sadly, we were too full to order dessert, but we did receive a complimentary to go drink thanks to another patron’s mistake, so that was a great surprise. Go to the Garden District and eat here. You must."

"Flavors burst inside your mouth with each bite, this phenomenal culinary experience is worth savoring! We loved everything about our dining experience. We dropped in with no reservations and selected patio dining to enjoy the wide boulevard. Serving staff attentive, cocktails amazing, and the FOOD.... well, come see for yourself. Husband ordered the Korean chicken sandwich of fried honey chicken, each crunch released a burst of sweet flavor. I ordered the Tuscan eggs with polenta, rattitoulle, with wilted spinach and basil, and I have not been so delighted by a perfect flavoring mix than I was just now. This is a must-experience dining!"

"The bartender was awesome. Shrimp and grits to die for. Crab cake was great. Fried green tomatoes were out of this world. Mimosas spot on. Well worth the money!"

"Best meal I’ve had in New Orleans. Wonderful drinks. The duck gumbo was amazing. The shrimp & grits was the best I’ve ever had. My partner got the pork chop, and my bite was delicious. The tres leches bread pudding was really good too. The server was helpful - there when you wanted him and away when you didn’t want him. All in all, a great experience."
