    Overall, not bad. Different experience to when I was here a few years ago. I also think the forgot the fruit sorbet course in our chef tasting menu. Previously, when I would do the chefs tasting menu with wine, they would describe the wine and discuss how it chosen for the dish. Would still recommend/some of the best food in the city and an intimate spot to enjoy by yourself or with another.

    This was my second visit here. The first was a few years ago and was great so I wanted to take my husband for our anniversary. We did the tasting menu with the wine pairing. We were there for an hour before our first pairing was poured. I noticed the sommelier was giving a lot of attention to other tables, but she only poured our first glass and we never saw here the rest of the night. The first few courses were delicious. The crawfish tart was a little spicy for me but my husband said it was great for him. The next 3 courses were mediocre and lacking flavor, mostly salt. The lamb had many tough tendons that we could not chew. I also found a bone in my fish. We had already finished our last savory dish before the wine pairing was even poured. The 2 desserts were great. Someone came and poured our last pairing but never said what it was and just walked away. We spent over $500 and did not feel it was worth it.

    My husband and I did the tasting menu for our anniversary dinner, and we were not disappointed. Wow. What an absolute treat. Compliments to the chef, because I was blown away by the flavors of each course! Everything was spot on. Every server we encountered was fabulous as well. A must do if you want fine dining in New Orleans.

    Beautiful establishment, very romantic setting. Restaurant August was excellent, great place to celebrate our 41st Anniversary. The black and blue gnocchi - blue crab and truffle was delicious. Our snapper and grouper entrees were cooked perfectly. We will definitely return the next time we visit Nola!

    Located in the vibrant city of New Orleans, Restaurant August is a culinary gem that promises a memorable dining experience. Recently, I had the pleasure of indulging in their Chef's Tasting Menu, paired with exquisite wines, and it was an extraordinary gastronomic journey. The meal commenced with a delightful spoon bread accompanied by Tralian osetra caviar and crème fraîche. The combination of the rich, creamy caviar with the comforting spoon bread was a luxurious and flavorful start to the evening. Next on the menu was the crawfish tart featuring asparagus, pecorino cheese, and country ham. This savory tart was a harmonious blend of delicate flavors, with the sweetness of the crawfish complemented by the earthiness of asparagus and the saltiness of the country ham. It was a wonderful balance of textures and tastes. Each course was thoughtfully paired with exquisite wines, and the Champagne Diebolt-Vallois Blanc de Blanc from France added an elegant sparkle to the experience, perfectly complementing the flavors of the early courses. The sunchoke agnolotti, filled with foie gras and truffle, served with house ricotta, was a true highlight. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the luxurious filling added depth and richness to every bite. Paired with a Roero Arneis from Piedmont, Italy, the wine's crispness and fruity notes beautifully complemented the dish. To cleanse the palate, a refreshing sorbet intermezzo made with seasonal fruit arrived, offering a delightful contrast to the previous courses. This palate cleanser was paired with a Connay Domaine Rosé, a perfect accompaniment to the fruity and refreshing flavors. Moving on to the main courses, the yellow edge grouper took center stage. Accompanied by squash blossom, lump crab, zucchini, and Sauce Nantua, this seafood delight was a testament to the chef's culinary expertise. The grouper was flawlessly cooked, moist and tender, while the accompaniments provided a med
