    I love fine dining and do not mind paying for quality food, but this was a No. the prices were outrageous and the food was lackluster. I had the fish and shrimp pasta and the fish was too salty to eat and only 3 shrimp in the entire meal. Loved the ambience and vibe, but it was pretty dead for a Saturday night. No live music or entertainment.

    We went here for my boyfriend’s birthday and had a great time. The atmosphere was a vibe and the food was soooo good. I had the stuffed salmon and he had the ribeye. Both dishes, along with the side(greens, yams, dirty rice) we had were absolutely delicious. Our waiter Deja was so sweet. And we will definitely be back soon.

    It’s a beautiful in the inside and excellent service, however, they need a new cook. I had shrimp and grits and the shrimp were so small. I thought it was crawfish but even if it was a crawfish, it would’ve been a small one. My husband have fried chicken and waffles. The first batch of chicken was burned.  I really cannot believe that they put a chicken burnt like that on the plate and brought it to us. I requested a different piece of chicken and that one was bloody in the inside. The food is very overpriced. The drinks were good but still on the high end and there is a 10% service charge on all orders.

    I live in Richardson and like to support local businesses so I thought I had the perfect opportunity by going out with my sweetheart and asking two other couples to join, made reservations for seven I had been there to look in prior so I had no problem finding it, mind you this is billed as fine dining, however my friends had to be walked in by phone because there is no signage. I had looked at the menu and knew what I wanted, the drinks are good but at a premium price, we each got a starter which came out promptly I got crab cakes that were the consistency of salmon croquettes no lump meat to be seen.when we were seated there was one other party four in the restaurant, so when our orders were taken we we’re hoping for a quick turnaround, our food came out piece meal, and how it was asked to be prepared was not observed, a steak was returned to be cooked more, and the easiest dish in my eyes came last, a pasta dish, all the food was heavily salted, most went uneaten. Our server asked about our experience and was told and her remedy was desert on her, but who wants the possibility of more disappointing after so much disappointment already. At this point the manager on duty was called upon and I’m sure I was heard because I gave this honest opinion, but I don’t think I was listened to, I will never be back and this is the worst experience of fine dining.

    Fine dining is not accurate. Fine dining does not have a limited menu. Nor does it not serve all the items being advertised. They had no oxtail avail or fried shrimp even though it's on the listed sunday menu. Also their website does not tell you they dont serve regular dinner items on sundays. You can only order from brunch menu which is very very limited and overpriced items that I can get anywhere else cheaper . We had server ask if we can get any dinner items as we had just seen them seve the stuffed salmon and shrimp to other patrons. But was told no. Well We left not worth the drive, the price nor is it fine dining

    There is no signage outside this restaurant, so it is difficult to find. You have to look at the windows. We walked in at 6:30pm on a Friday night and there was no one there. We almost left right then. As you walk into the first door, there was a strange odor. We had a very nice waitress. This is a New Orleans style restaurant, but they didn't have any Jambalaya or Red beans and rice. They are posing as a more expensive restaurant with expensive prices, but the food was below par. It was my husband's birthday and he picked this restaurant. He ordered a steak and sweet yams. The yams came out of a can. The steak was thick, he ordered medium rare, and it was more rare than medium rare. I was skeptical of this restaurant and ordered the penne pasta with chicken, sausage and shrimp. The pasta was edible but the proteins were overcooked. The chicken was dry and the shrimp were chewy, I ate the pasta and some of the proteins. Everything was ala carte. Do not waste your time with this restaurant. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

    Ordered the $50 buffet but they kept running out of food. I went back to the buffet bar twice but there wasn’t any food. My kid and husband’s appetizers and food came out 30 minutes late. Entree’s came out before their appetizers. Overall, the food was fair, but overpriced whenever considering the lack of food. Miriam, our waitress was excellent.

    We had reservations today at 230p. We arrived around 235p because the restaurant was hard to find. Once inside we were promptly seated. We ordered our food around 245p, by 335p we still hadn’t gotten anything but the lemonade we ordered so we just made the decision to leave.

    First impressions matter. At least acknowledge a guest is there and say someone will be right with you. So once we did finally get seated, we were told our options and left at the table. 15 minutes later, there is still no water or server. Finally, we got tired of waiting and flagged someone down. We did the $50 per person buffet with unlimited mimosasp. The food overall was good. The problem is that when you offer a buffet, make sure you actually keep food. We had to keep waiting for food to be available. Some stuff I was never able to taste because it was never filled or only a small amount that after a few people refilled their plate, it was empty again. This is very disappointing for a $50 buffet. Our waitress was awesome 👌🏾 and I can't recall her name she was the best part. Whoever had table 13 on Father's Day in the 2pm hour. I'm willing to give them another chance. I'll order from the regular menu and not do the buffet. I need more than tasty food to keep me coming back.

    I am not a person to normally leave reviews…especially bad ones, but the Sunday brunch was a disappointment. The service was slow and sparse because the servers were also the hosts and bartenders. The food was a notch above a hotel breakfast. The waffles and French toast were good, but hardly worth $50. The shrimp and grits which could have been their star dish, was sad. The shrimp were popcorn sized and flavorless, the catfish was poor quality and way over-salted. The blackened chicken pasta was decent, but none of this warranted a $50 price tag. The brunch does include unlimited mimosas, but I couldn’t even finish one because of the taste. We had two kids with us. Their buffet was $25 each. The server came around and asked if they wanted some strawberry lemonade, which I assumed was included. It was not. It was $6 for each of them, so basically we paid $31 for them to have a waffle and lemonade. I wouldn’t have minded if the atmosphere and service was remotely like the photos, but again…big disappointment. The place has potential, but if they are going to make it, they need a chef and to up the quality of their food.

    I'm extremely disappointed, we had reservations at 7:30. We didn't arrive until 7:48 hard to find the restaurant no signs up, the windows are dark from the outside. We were promptly seated. It was a nice intimate place, with loud music. We ordered drinks, appetizer and food at the same time. We did that because it took a while for the waitress to come take our order at 8:15. The appetizer came out at 9. I asked how much longer before the food. She said let me ask the Manager. She came back and said 15 mins. I set the timer on my phone. We are still trying to give them a chance. I see the waitress walking out with plates and heads to another table that came after us. It's now 9:30, I left cash on the table for the two $21 drinks and 4 count deviled eggs. I was over it, at this point. The waitress was try her best, she was also the bartender. I appreciated her efforts and offers of drinks. We wanted to eat not get drunk before the food came out. I hope the kitchen gets the help needed to accommodate the guest from waiting so long to eat. I was looking forward to supporting this business.

    Very much overrated! The canal eggs were not so good this is the only reason I wanted to go. I made reservations and asked for a red rose to be placed on the table, once we arrived no rose. So I asked the manager about it and he stated I can go to the store and get 1 but you will need to pay for it. WOW! Garlic bread didn’t have no garlic nothing but butter and parsley. This will be my 1st and last time. Oh the collard greens are to die for that’s it that’s all.

Shout out to the owner that gave me and my guest free shots to show there appreciation! Shout out to the cooks that food was the bomb literally.. everything we order was soooooo gooodddd! Shout out to the host David that seated us and shout out to the bartender/waitress, if juggling 12 things at once was a person he would definitely pop up! The drinks were made to perfection.. even when I stepped out the restaurant for a second he made my drink fresh because he didn’t want it to be watery!! The service was a 10/10! I would definitely recommend coming here… will be posting video on TikTok and FB!! Y’all come check them out you won’t regret it🤞🏾❤️

    The ambiance was great and the food was good, but a bit over priced. I've never ordered a steak at a restaurant that didn't include at least one side. The drinks were a little over priced as well. No wonder there was only one other table occupied that evening.

    You know how you never heard of someone flying Spirit twice? That is how I feel about "The French Quarter" in Richardson. My wife's entree was "ok". My steak was of poor quality (a LOT of gristle, inedible). I left the remainder of the steak there, which is out of the ordinary for me. Most of the time, I will save some of the steak for "steak and eggs" on Sunday morning. We were seated at 6:45 PM, but our food was served to us at 7:45 PM. The server kept saying she was going to check on our food, but it didn't materialize. My cabernet showed up to my table AFTER I was done eating my steak (not while eating, after. We like to pair our wine WITH our food. Not after). Apparently, the bartender was constantly on breaks, and the server kept telling me the wine would be comped, but you can only comp a drink that is served. There was another table of women (6) who decided to leave after they never got their drinks. The server started giving their drinks when they were up and leaving. By then, it was too late. This place is popular with groups of women who want to drink the signature cocktails that are heavy on the juices. Heavy sweet cocktails that get women drunk. As far as a restaurant, I wouldn't go here again.

    Great place for brunch as they offer a condensed menu. The menu is a little pricy for the portions, but it's too be expected. My drink costs more than my food which is new to me, but again, no worries. They were short-staffed as told to us by our waiter, but she did as best as she could as well as the bar tender.
