    I ordered the steak and eggs, which on the menu says filet and eggs and ordered rare plus. To my disappointment, it came out as pieces of fillet, which were all cooked harder than rare. I try to get the attention of the waiter, but he walked away every time I tried to say something. He never came back to ask me how the food was. The flavor of the steak was good, but I was very disappointed with how it was cooked. If you’re going to give pieces of steak instead of an actual whole steak, the menu should stay that.

    I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your meal. The Steak & Eggs is very popular with our guests and we never try to mislead with our menu descriptions. It sounds like our server did not explain this dish properly or check back and for that I apologize. We will use this review as an opportunity to coach our team. We hope that you will visit again.

    My wife and I started with the fried green tomato's and shrimp and roasted beet salad.Both excellent. I had the Kingfish and grits and she had the Jambalaya Risotto both off the brunch menu. Finished with the pecan pie.We would return if ever back in NOLA.

    They say is in the banquet room when restaurant was fully open. Out of Jack Daniel’s and Makers Mark and served our food to another table. I would not suggest this location.

    Thank you for your feedback as it is so important for us to hear about your experiences. I am sorry that we were out of your favorite beverage this visit. Your food being served to the wrong table should never happen and I am apologize for that error. We do have two dining rooms and we utilize both of them on weekends and special events and it sounds like you were sat in the second dining room on your Saturday visit. You can always tell us that you would like a different table and we will always accomadate.

    Very disappointed with this restaurant based on reviews. Floors smelled like pine-sol, bar service was slow and food arrived cold.

    Made reservations for a party of four, called restaurant to revise it to 6 a week prior as they do not take online reservations greater than a party of four. Arrived and they did not have reservation but they were able to accommodate. Service was poor, ordered a bottle of wine for those that did not order mixed drinks, waitress brought bottle, followed by mixed drinks, 10 minutes later had to ask that bottle be opened for those having wine. One individual in our party ordered the redfish, all other dishes arrived except the redfish. Waitress forgot to place order. Dish arrived after everyone else was done. Unlikely to return and give it a second chance with so many other great restaurants for locals(and visitors).
