                                                      We booked a table at August as a special treat for the last day of our Honeymoon trip to New Orleans and the whole experience was fantastic. The service was impeccable. They made us feel extra special and every single course was exceptional. We loved the whole experience and couldn’t recommend it enough. Thank you for a very memorable evening.

                                                      I sat at the bar because it was a quiet evening in the restaurant. What a lovely experience.

                                                      The food was very good but not excellent. We frequently visit tasting menu venues around the world, and while this one provided a slightly elevated dining experience, it lacked the personal touches typically offered by most high-end restaurants. For example, they failed to note my dietary restrictions and made minimal effort beyond well wishes to make my wife’s 50th birthday special, despite having been informed of these details in advance during prior communication with staff. Although the meal was priced lower than most of our tasting menu experiences, a $450.00 dinner is still significant and not an everyday occurrence. Such an occasion should be remarkable in the most positive way. Our experience at Saint Germain, another local venue, was far superior in terms of the overall dining experience. However, the back waiter, runner, and Maître d’ at this establishment were exceptional.

                                                      Hello Mr. Karl, Thank you for joining us at Restaurant August and for taking the time to leave this review of your experience. While I am happy to see that you found elements of the service provided to be exceptional, I am disappointed to see that you found the overall value to be below expectation. I am eager to learn how we failed to meet your expectations for serving you exceptionally in accordance with your dietary restrictions, as well as making your wife's special evening unforgettable. I will follow up with you directly to learn more. We are grateful for this opportunity to learn and grow as we strive to provide dining experiences at the highest standard here. Warm regards, Emmaline Duhon, General Manager

                                                      What a fantastic experience. Our tasting meal blew us away. Every dish was bursting with unique flavors. A highlight was the chef coming to our table for our final savory dish. I highly recommend August’s Tasting Menu. An absolute treat. We will return

                                                      August is the best place to eat in Nola. If you are a foodie, this is your place. We look forward to every time we are able to make a trip down to New Orleans to eat here. It never disappoints.
