    We experienced a nice handoff between servers with no disruption in service. We were seated promptly, and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. They left us alone enough so we could talk with friends we hadn’t seen in several years. We had a great time!

    One of our party ordered fried chicken and we agreed all meals could be held since it’s made to order. The waiter assured us they time it very well. Well 5 minutes before the chicken was going to be ready the manager came and asked us about the other food and we said they could bring it. Only 2 dishes came out both sandwiches and they weren’t hot, just lukewarm. The chicken came out after and the 4th dish was last to arrive. Duck and fried rice. So my advice is don’t believe they can time it all properly. I feel the 2 sandwiches were done and sitting there. We didn’t complain but I felt to share since they can’t time the food. Be warned. Overall the food is mediocre. Probably won’t be back. So many other options in the area.

    Everything we ordered was wonderful: The Slicer chracuterie and snacks for the table, soft pretzels with fondue, pizza (deep dish personal size, crust was perfectly crispy), steak fries, crispy rice with shrimp, French dip sandwich....Brennan provided great service and was knowledgeable about the menu. The live music was nice, not too loud so we could still talk across the table. Great spot, great dinner.

    This is always a solid choice for dinner in the Quarter. We have dined there multiple times and never been disappointed. The food is always good with some unique items on the menu. We started with their homemade potato chips and onion dip. They were delicious! For an entree, I had Peking Duck and shrimp fried rice. It was delicious and was a very large serving. My wife had the chicken chop salad and said it was very good as well. Service is good. Great food and a bustling environment, so don’t plan on a quiet dinner.
