   Food was great and ambience was lovely. However, the service felt a bit off - our waitress seemed quite busy, and the restaurant overall looked understaffed. It took a while for us to place our order, and when we had additional requests, we often had to flag down other staff since our waitress was hard to find. One example was the goat curry with gnocchi: it clearly had a broth-like consistency and definitely needed a spoon, but none was brought to the table. We eventually had to ask someone else for one because our waitress was nowhere in sight. Another funny moment was when she came over to ask if we needed more water, we said yes, and she refilled my glass but forgot my partner’s. It seemed like she was just overwhelmed trying to manage too much at once. Overall, it was a mixed experience, but we’d love to come back another time and hope to see some improvement in the service.

   They overcharged us at first - and even though they corrected it, it was shady. The hot chicken wasn’t spicy but had cardamom, all spice and something else - not good at all. The grits were also undercooked. The cappuccino was like a latte. Just not good overall. The service was the only redeeming factor.

   Always come here every time we’re in NOLA. The biscuits, fried chicken, goat gnocchi dish, fun cocktail menu… all of it is so great. Also very kid friendly with a pasta dish our toddler loves.

   I love a restaurant that serves excellent food in a casual setting and Compere Lapin did just that. I ordered the "Just Feed Me" tasting menu (love the name). After the server confirmed with the cooking staff the items that would be provided, I asked for two substitutions which were granted. The turkey empanadas were a flavor bomb - I don't particularly like empanadas, but these were exceptional. The tuna ceviche was very light, refreshing, and also full of flavor. The chocolate cake with guava sorbet was decadent and delicious. Service was excellent, and I felt valued. Definitely recommend.

   The Curried Goat was exceptional! The aroma of the broth, the tenderness of the meat, the sweetness of the gnocchi… all work together to deliver a memorable dish.
