Good service. Good vibes. GREAT biscuits.

Our waiter was an excellent host, providing us with lots of personalized local spots for our vacation. We ordered a bunch of plates to share, which several staff complimented as their faves, and enjoyed every bite. Highly recommend the tuna ceviche and fried chicken!

Incredible flavour. Depth, texture, crunch. It’s all there.

Loved the atmosphere and food was very good. Went for brunch and tried several starter options. Tater tots were crisp and the creme fraiche and caviar (tiny bit) really added to the flavor. Biscuits were absolutely delicious. Deviled egg toast was a little odd for me. Was a soft scramble on toast. I can’t really place why I didn’t love it. Bruleed grapefruit was very interesting. Definitely worth trying if you have never had one (i had not) but once was enough for me. Croque madame. Was really good. Creamy, tasty and the pimento cheese added just a little twist to the original. Recommend for brunch and curious to try for dinner.

Beautiful restaurant with lots of brick and natural water overlay. A hotel is part of the building. Clean bathrooms, friendly staff. We were seated for our reservations immediately. Wish the table was set with bread, but my colleague, mom and kids loved the bacon butter and salted honey butter biscuits. We each had different meals and all loved each one tremendously. An absolute must visit if ever in New Orleans.

We had a group (6) dinner at this restaurant that came highly recommended by others who visited NOLA previously. The food was better than average but not for my palette. We choose the 'just feed me' option from the menu and I thought that the quantity of food didn't add up to the price ($75) we were paying per person. The cost of individually ordered dish would have been less than the total. I'm personally vegetarian and I know that this was not the place for me but the staff assured me that there were options for vegans and vegetarian but felt more of an afterthought. If seafood is your jam, just order what you like off the menu!Vegetarian options: Maybe one dish from each section if that. Not a lot of options.

Basically, if you like creative food with incredibly interesting and complex flavors served in a chill atmosphere with some great art on the walls, eat here. If you don’t like those things, maybe still eat here so you can discover what you’ve been missing. Everything we ate was delicious, but I’ll rave the most about the fried chicken and the snapper collar. The snapper collar was one of the most succulent things I’ve eaten in a very, very long time. I’m probably going to dream about that dish in the future. The wine list was extensive and included a full page of options from women winemakers, which was nice to see. The service was friendly. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.

Well-executed fine dining with southern accents. Don’t be afraid to try the pig ears (think fries). Their version of fried chicken with grits is outstanding… honey, peanuts and a secret ingredient not listed (mint leaves, don’t you worry). Street ands garage parking. Upscale relaxing ambiance off boutique hotel lobby.

I went here one time for a business dinner, during my last visit in NOLA.The restaurant has a style that really love, old and modern fused with an awesome balance.To be honest, the menu is not so extensive, but you will find fish and meat plate; the service was quite good and fast.At the end i want to say that it’s a cool tourist restaurant, but nothing more.

Exceeded expectations. These folks are the real deal when it comes to food. The seafood chowder was outstanding period green curry, coconut, Anise, pickled peppers, sweet potatoes, and seafood. Complete harmony. Pork belly was confi sous vide. Can't even remember what the sauce was but it was sublime. The conch croquettes were a perfectly crispy exterior and a creamy interior. Recommend.

Myself and 4 friends dined here in late February of 2024 and at multiple occasions during our meal there were large cockroaches on our table and on the walls around our table. The staff was not very helpful in dealing with the issue. Not acceptable for what is supposed to be a high quality

Excellent food spoiled by service. Things started great with my wife and I wanting to work through the cocktail, appetizer and firsts menus. We got our first drink and appetizers and one first to split. The food was exquisite.What started as great service turned abysmal. After finishing our first round the table was promptly and politely bussed and then NOTHING. Another waitress noticed our empty water glasses but then it was 18 minutes of sitting with absolutely nothing on our table. No food and no drink other than water. We wanted the menu to try another cocktail, appetizer, first and possibly dessert to really sample the menu but that didn't happen. On the plus side our bill was much lighter than planned. We ended up going to another restaurant to finish our planned wonderful evening.

Wow! The goat and the mango creme brûlée. Pluto is not a planet, too.
