- CChristinaNew Orleans / Louisiana •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoThe Country Club staff was amazing. I’d booked the wrong day months in advance and they were kind and understanding when finding us a space to join them for Brunch. All of the staff made my sister feel so special on her bachelorette party. It was a fun environment and the food and drinks were amazing.
