About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for brunch
In the late 1800’s, Royal Street was home to a famous “curio” shop, a place where curiosities from all over the world could be had for a dollar or two. Today, the shop is no more, but the feeling of excitement and wonder still exists on Royal Street today. And so in the heart of the most premier art district in New Orleans, we’re bringing back the curiosity – reintroducing New Orleans to a circus of flavor so vibrant it makes other restaurants nearby pale in comparison.

    The worst dining experience I ever had in New Orleans. The host who calls himself George was completely disrespectful and frankly, should not be employed there if he hates his job and the customers that much. The food was lackluster. Overpriced bar food basically with no flavor and thrown together sloppily onto a plate that looked like a plastic basket. It was supposed to be restaurant week, and we ordered off the special menu, only to be overcharged. When we asked to speak to a manager, “George” says there isn’t one and that he wouldn’t be around anyway to help you. All the while making fun of us. Overall. Don’t waste your time. I’d rather pay for better food at the Hooks drive through on St.Claude than tell people to go to a place that is not worth the money

    I tried Curio for lunch during Restaurant week. I went at an early time and got seated immediately as requested on the patio. Staff is friendly and welcoming. I opted for the RW special and enjoyed the appetizer more than the meal. The app was grit tots and the entree was crawfish cavatappi. The pasta was also great and had a good amount of crawfish, unfortunately it was a little heavy for lunch on a HOT day. I still recommend it, but I should have tried something lighter.

    Food was terrible but as a local I should have expected that. Wanted to grab food close to the concert venue and unfortunately this place was very close and totally underwhelming. Definitely altered to mood of the evening. Typical poorly cooked touristy food. Would not recommend or retry. Staff was incredibly nice and accommodating.

    My friend is allergic to seafood and we wish she could have had more food options but the oil was used for both seafood and non seafood dishes.

    My breakfast was great!!!! However, my travel companions was not! Her bacon was raw in lots of places. Her eggs were way over cooked! Pretty inconsistent!! Waitress was great at first and then disappeared. Had to flag her down to get the check, once she resurfaced.

    We had an amazing experience dining here for Mother’s Day! The service was top-tier, and the food was absolutely delicious—we couldn’t have picked a better spot to celebrate. Although my reservation was originally for 1:45 PM and I was running a little late, the staff was incredibly accommodating. They didn’t give up our table and even followed up with a courteous phone call to confirm. A special shoutout to Jadard (apologies if I’m spelling his name wrong)—he was truly exceptional. His attentive and friendly service made our visit even more memorable. Highly recommend this place!

    We had the fried alligator, and all 5 of us said it was the most tender we have ever had. The brussel sprouts with mayhaw pepper jelly were excellent. We also had the blacked redfish with crabmeat and capers, the fried check BLT, the Salmon, the chicken sandwich, and the alligator poboy. Everything was delicious, we highly enjoyed our meal. We will recommend to others.
