    Nice meal with very attentive staff. Hosted a small family graduation dinner. The food, service and atmosphere was good. Relaxing to not be in the hustle & bustle of Bourbon Street area. Recommended

    The service was horrible and slow, which makes no sense with a fixed menu of 3 items. I also overheard one of the waitresses complaining about my wife who asked her if she had cleaned up all of the glass from a cup that broke. On top of all of that none of the food was good. An absolute waste of money.

    We went for Mother's Day and there was a prie fixe menu, so didn't get to try everything we wanted. But the menu was set up perfectly. Three items in each category so we got one of each and turned it into a "family style" deal. Crab and artichoke dip was my favorite appetizer. The Brown Butter Benny (Eggs Benedict essentially) was delicious, as well as the beef spare ribs. By that time, we were stuffed, so crushed some peach cobbler and flourless chocolate torte way later in the day at home. All so good! The $20 mix-and-match all you can drink bloody Mary and Mimosa deal is also way worth it, if you want to have a great weekend! We will be back!

    Top notch as per usual. Hoping this restaurant finds a new location ASAP, and that they can create the warmth and quirkiness (along with amazing food) that make Brown Butter our go to favorite restaurant.

    Had a great time here. Food was good. Grits were a bit stiff. And the food came later than I thought it should have but not too late. The service was very kind. And the restaurant was clean. Would definitely recommend it.

    Overall average experience. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food just wasn’t anything to write home about. Eggs were bland, the bacon was very greasy and clumpy, and the “fresh” fruit wasn’t very fresh. The Mac and cheese was pretty good though. And the fried pickles would’ve been great if they were served hot.

    Kat was an amazing bartender/server. The food was great. The salad was a little too sweet? The lamb was very good. I loved the peach cobbler and my husband loved the white chocolate bread pudding. This wasn’t our first time and we will definitely be back.

    Six friends gathered for a birthday celebration and the host immediately said Happy Birthday when we checked-in at the door. It was a great service night from that point forward. Our server and bar tender Cat/Kat (sp) was very attentive and also wished us happy birthday. We were never without drinks, the appetizers came out timely, and none of our party had complaints about the food portions or quality. Very good night!
