The ambiance was fantastic! The service was great! The food was really good. I got the lambchops. They were a little overcooked imo but I'm gathering they only cook them one way since I wasn't given a choice. My sister got the chili thai chicken wings they were delicious. The drinks were potent and very tasty. I also would have liked more than three Asparagus spears, maybe six. One thing I have to remember when coming to NOLA is there is always someone drunk so ask to not sit near the big group tables if you don't want to be bumped into by their drunk dancing and whatever lol
