Atmosphere was nice, and the live music really added a nice touch of New Orleans flavor. However, the food was definitely lacking. I ordered a Shrimp Po Boy. The menu said it was plentiful with shrimp, tomatoes, lettuce and sliced red onion and special sauce. When I got it, it was a dry roll 9 in roll with less than 10 shrimp and less than 2 Tbsp of sauce. When I returned to the counter to ask for the sliced red onion that was supposed to be on the sandwich, I was told they made a mistake on the menu board. No onion. I was really surprised that they didn't offer to make it right, by getting me some of the red onion since other food choices offered the onion too. It would have been good business practices,(since onion makes this sandwich, and I love it) especially since they admitted to a mistake. Not much sauce either so, they told me to just grab a packet of mayonnaise on the counter. The tomato slices were extremely thin, but lots of lettuce. Couldn't taste the shrimp really, and I kinda felt I was eating a lettuce sandwich. I also ordered and paid for a soda, after which I was told they were out of. I felt they figured I was a tourist and they didn't expect to see me again. They are true about that! I am highly disappointed in the quality and service here. Priced higher than usual, but it was Bourbon St. so ...I get it. Very very cramped outside seating, with no indoor space. Unless you absolutely need something to eat, and this place is the only choice, I would not recommend spending your hard earned money here. Unusual for me to visit a place that scores this low for me! Skip this place.Parking: No parking unless you are the 1 in a million who find a spot! You must pay for parking here.Wheelchair accessibility: Very cramped

Gave service a 3 because you basically ordered your own food, they just deliver to your table. Everyone was very pleasant and music was great.

Po boy. Absolutely sucked. Plane bread. Barely spread some sauce. Tatar whatever it was. It was cut in half. I opened one half and only three shrimps. With the little dot of spread. And lettuce tomatoes pickle layed on plate on the side. I should’ve taken it back for my money back. Because I didn’t even it the bread. Just whatever few shrimps were inside. Just regret not saying anything.. I really should have.Beignets were good. But just okay. Huge. I rather have the smaller ones.This place is nice for its atmosphere only. The live music is enjoyable on a nice day. . I guess it’s nice just for the live music and garden feel is pretty. Not for food

My favourite Beignets in the city other than Loretta’s. Large portions and super doughy. The service is great and was in a beautiful spot

So far these are the best beignets we've had in New Orleans. Served warm with a mountain of icing sugar that slightly melts on the warm beignets creating an icing texture that I absolutely loved. They also have great coffee.
