    Upscale and trendy restaurant in the heart of the French Quarter. The main dining area has floor to ceiling doors that when open give the fell of eating al fresco but without having to worry about being outside. Portions were well-sized and reasonably priced. Our party especially enjoyed the roasted brussel sprouts and the butternut squash gnocchi.

    The food was unique, but very good. However, the service was poor. Just poor. One group of 4 just got up and left because they never even got a greeting once seated. Don’t know if it was a shortage that night, or it is a bigger issue.

    this restaurant has changed more than its name. I had a burger last night that was pretty bad. the meat had all kinds of gristle in it. Previously, the burgers were of an excellent quality. The gumbo was good, and the salad was a salad. Our waiter was very attentive, which wasn't hard since we were the only people in the restaurant. The quality is not there any more.

    The restaurant atmosphere was very calm and relaxed, perfect for conversations with table guests for business or family and friends. It was a great escape from the loud harsh atmosphere on Bourbon Street. The staff were all friendly and very attentive. Server Chris immediately made sure to educate our table of the nightly specials and items that were not available before we ordered. He kindly let our indecisive table guests sample drinks and ask multiple questions before committing to ordering. All menu items were fresh, flavorful and delicious. Would definitely visit again when in town.

    Great food but what a pity the air conditioning was so strong and cold. Having dinner with a real wind on my back coming from the ceiling is not very confortable to enjoy the moment. It is to be known that this restaurant aims at freezing the street (because Windows and doors were fully opened)

    Showed up early and was seated by the window, it was a nice night out, so this was an added bonus, the food was tasty, and we were given time to enjoy our appetizers before the main course was served. I highly reccomend this restaurant

    Beautiful spot in NOLA to eat. The beignets were just as good as cafe du monde so you don’t even need to waste time in that line! I loved that the food here was not just covered in a cream sauce. It was real beautiful food.

    the place has a few kinks to work out. they are severely understaffed and one person is not able to do ALL jobs - greet, set the table and serve. food was ok. drinks are nice when they do arrive. W chain should do better.

    Christopher was knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive to our party. The food was superb! The table next to us was raving about it to a group that came in later; their Brussels sprouts and steak were amazing and we heard from the table next to us that their crawfish app and lamb shanks were the best they’d had. Their torte is VERY dense and rich but we didn’t have a sugar rush after sharing it between 2 for dessert. Highly recommend!!!

    I made a reservation on open table and had to put a credit card non refundable fee for a large table. When we arrived, we were notified that the restaurant was closed for a private party. When I asked about the deposit, I was told to leave. The staff was rude and the app was worthless.

    The food was really good. My husband had the coolinary menu - a quarter chicken which he really enjoyed and some very good gumbo. I had the shrimp creole papardelle - spicy and flavorful. The blueberry bread pudding was wonderful - and I don't say that about many bread puddings. The service could have been a bit better - but there was a very large (and loud) table in the back and they may have had a lot going on. We sat in the bar, at a table facing Chartres St, so we got to watch people going by. 95 degrees and there were still people going past. I hadn't been here before, but we will add this restaurant to our rotation.

    This Saturday brunch is unique for the entertainment, which includes a wonderful adult-oriented show. Food was very good. I would call my first-ever boudin very tasty. Sadly, we were disappointed with our cocktails. Mine (a Rita Alexander) didn't arrive until the second of three courses, did not come close to filling the coupe, and tasted bitter. Unlike the photo on the website, there was no rosemary or grapefruit garnish, and the rim of the glass was salted (?!). That said, we very much enjoyed the food, and the service was up to New Orleans standards.

    A very good alternative to the flagship old-school restaurants. It has evidently recently changed names. I was the only diner in the front room at 5:30 pm on a Friday in August...probably not a good sign for the viability of the establishment, but the food was very good and the service was attentive. Give it a try. Not all the items on the online menu were available but there were plenty of alternatives to select from.

    We needed a good lunch spot in the French Quarter and gave this a try. The service and ambiance were outstanding. The food was average at best. The smoked pork Cuban sandwich was average/disappointing and the salad + shrimp was expensive. Two entrees + an order of fries, no appetizer, no drinks, no dessert = $43 without tip. Would go back for drinks because they were friendly and service was great and neat atmosphere but not for food.
