This may not be the cheapest place I've ever been, $110 for 3 people, but if I was in London or L.A. I'd probably pay more for something not quite as good, plus we had a couple of very fine Bloody Mary's that you make yourself at the BM counter, all sorts of ingredients you just help yourself to so you can have it just the way you like it, a nice idea. We had some excellent food, cheesy grits, biscuits, eggs, bacon, fried cornbread (yummy) some pecan waffles that were amazing and all served promptly by a very pleasant and helpful young man whose name escapes me.

Wings are killer here, drinks and bartender skills leave much to be desired. Definite dive bar, ok for a quick stop but you aren't missing much if you skip it

Not bad meal. Had a good time just had a weird experience with a dish. They ran out of part of the entire I ordered and buy the time they talked about a replacement the replacement ran out. It wasn't bad just very weird

Found this gem on Oak St. and I wish I would've found it sooner! Place it beautiful but the food is amazing. Got the snapper tarter and WOW!! They were super friendly and flexible with gluten free options and I was able to order the creole tomato salad with fried oysters which was refreshing and full of flavor. The chef also came out and expressed how thankful he was for us coming in. We came in at 5:30pm in the midst of Phase 1 reopening from COVID and staff was really thankful we were able to help.

I've been going here since it opened. I love this place so much. I unfortunately had to leave New Orleans for a job but I come here literally every time I come back. The happy hour is awesome. Literally everything I've eaten here has been perfect. The food is interesting and fresh but not overdone. I get the uptown blues cocktail every time I'm there. I think about it all the time, it is my favorite cocktail of all time. It may seem like I'm exaggerating but I'm not. I am just very excited about dtb.

DTB was out of this world. I was in New Orleans for work and a local foodie I was working with sent me here. Do glad I left downtown to try it. Got the chicken andouille gumbo to start. Best gumbo I've ever had in my life. Had the blackened red fish as my main. Great piece of fish and the fixins in the plate paired amazingly.

DTB is a definite favorite for happy hours and dinner. You also can't beat their Bloody Mary bar with Beet Juice as an option!! (surprisingly delicious). I'm a huge fan of the Fried Cornbread Cauliflower Rillettes at the bar. Always ask about the house specialty cocktail. Dinner faves include fresh fish and duck confit!!

Loved this place. Great food and wonderful vibe. Vibrant but not overwhelming. Nice distancing of tables—good for couples and groups.

This place is gorgeous - service is great but the food....the FOOD!!! Everything we had was so delicious, my mouth is watering right now as I type. We had the red bean risotto, shrimp and grits, a salad and the fried corn bread. Ohh the fried corn bread!!!! Little balls of corn bread fabulousness sitting in goat cheese and crumbled ham with jalapeños on top. So. Damn. Good. The Shrimp and grits were equally yummy, so flavorful and perfect. Just go. Stop reading this and go right now, you will love it.

I came here for a work function. This place is top shelf. I had a few beers. I must say that they had a nice selection of beers on draft! I will definitely come back.

Service was good. Unfortunately two of our chicken sandwiches were delivered raw. When the staff offered replacements one of our party members lost their appetite and the second ordered a medium burger. The medium burger was delivered bloody. Poor kitchen staff, the only saving grace was the wait staff.

First time coming here was after work with two close friends. We ordered a few shareable plates and one entree to share. The food was absolutely delicious, I think we all stopped talking and just ate. I've heard they offer a great brunch from friends of mine. They have a decent size wine menu and also had some enticing cocktails! This is a great place for a casual birthday dinner/lunch with friends, a date, or impromptu get together! Chill vibe and ambiance, decorated nicely with hints of the south throughout. Noise level is average to loud depending on the amount of people- not overly loud though. The service was great as well, our waiter was so attentive and kind!
