    Hidden Gem. Food is killer. Drinks spot on. Come if you love New Orleans. Chef Kevin does it right! None of the fusion BS. The man is yearning for a full house at this wonderful establishment. Tucked away behind fountain square I had no idea it existed let alone has been going for 2 years now. Get there stat.

    The food good and the server was very nice but the service was super slow and it wasn’t because there was a large crowd. The drinks were great.

    This is now one of my favorite restaurants. The food was amazing. I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes and the Tour of New Orleans. We will for sure be back soon!!!

    Food and service was very good. They were missing quite a few menu items that I was looking forward to trying, which was pretty disappointing.  drinks were really good, especially the hurricane.

    We sat at the bar where we had the pleasure of being helped by KC. He had great suggestions and made delicious drinks. Good food, drinks and service, I highly recommend giving this place a try if you’re looking for a vibe.

    This is a great addition to the Cincinnati restaurant scene. Three of us shared four dishes and all were excellent. Definitely worth a try!

    Crac cakes need more crab & less spicy seasoning…could not enjoy the taste of the ingredients because of the spice.

    We were looking forward to trying a new place as we’ve grown to love Cajun. The service was extremely slow. Mind you, this was 6PM on a Thursday. Seemed like there was only one waitress. We were seated at a booth near the entrance- no big deal. However, Was not aware there was going to be a live singer. She was great but it made it difficult to carry a conversation as she was two booths distance from us and the booth was wider than normal, already making it hard to talk across the table to each other without being louder than I plan when conversing with my SO on a date night. The food was okay. Nothing spectacular to write home about. Cajun corn dip was good, the pita chips with it were amazing though. The crab cakes were mushy. The pasta was good (I had chicken, he had crawfish). The jambalaya was tasty. Side note, they bring water to the table (no ice and did not get a refill brought to us with fresh water during our time there). Also, Boardwalk Empire was on the TV at the bar… nudity, sex scene, vulgar language. This was definitely a one and done for us.
