Spicy Mango is amazing! The ambiance, the flavors and the service were impeccable. We tried the signature drink which was delicious, and highlights were the elote, Cuban and rum cake, but it was all great! We’ll be back, thanks to the chef and our sweet server!

We had such a great dinner at Audubon Clubhouse during Magazine Street Restaurant Week! The atmosphere was charming and peaceful. The restaurant week menu offered was delicious, and we enjoyed our ceviche and duck. We happened to go on a Wednesday, which made it even better thanks to their $7 martini special! The service was warm and attentive, and the whole evening felt relaxed and special. Highly recommend for a midweek date night or a quiet dinner with friends. We’ll definitely be back!

I took a group of 7 young ladies for dinner. They were very patient with us and let us each pay separately which was very nice. They were very busy and also let us make a reservation - which was super helpful. I would recommend this restaurant.
