    We have visited this restaurant several times and it has been really good prior to this visit. Service was very slow and restaurant was not busy.

    We anticipated a busy dinner scene with music and cocktails to follow, but the dinig room was empty and the staff seemed to be ready to close at 8pm. The ambiance does not match the quality of service received. The food was simply freezer dried and most likely microwaved.

    This was our first restaurant after getting to New Orleans. Great! Our waiter was comical and had great menu suggestions. The food was local and very, very good. I had always wondered about fried chicken and waffles....now I know. YES, YES, YES! The red beans and rice with sausage rocked. Nice bank....it was a great evening.

    The food was incredible however the service was terrible. The restaturant was not very crowded and we waited over a half hour just for our drinks and then even longer to get our food. Also when we tried to order a bottle of wine off the wine list they said almost none of the wine's on the list were available.

    One of the worst meals we had. Service was horrendous and all the meals were under or overcooked. The manager said he was too busy to field our complaint yet there were 5 tables in the dining room. Absolutely do not eat here. There were 8 of us and they automatically charged a 20% tip. Not worth 5%.

    We visited from out of town and this place was not what we expected in a good and bad way. The food was delicious-- my brother had the chicken and waffles and could not stop talking about how wonderful it was, I had the steak and it was cooked the way I asked. Having the live music was good, but if you are not seated at the bar you can't see the band. The menu listed on open table is DEFINITELY not what they serve in house so I was disappointed by that (I was looking forward to something specific). The ambiance feels like an old school southern supper club. Its a hotel restaurant so if you look out one window you are view a side street and if you look out the other its the hotel pool. The service was great, but the inside felt very old and dated. My guess is its the same decor from when they opened the hotel and restaurant (my guess would be the 70s). The bread pudding for dessert was delicious. All in all good experience, just not what we expected!

    It was loud, but the food was good and the wait staff was attentive, although it was a less busy night.

    We went on Fat Tuesday, yes, crazy as that was. It was terrific! We were in a quiet place in the dining room where we could hear the music nearby, but could have a conversation. Staff were fabulous, and the food was terrific. The crab cake and crawfish gumbo were amazing. Overall a great meal on a traditionally lousy day to get food since so many places are closed, people are hung over, or not into working while others are partying.
