    Wonderful dinner for a party for 11 people. They were ready to seat us right on time. Food was delicious. Orders were correct and drinks kept coming. Really enjoyed our time and so glad we went. I would go back.

    The serving staff (Gail) was great. Attentive, friendly and helpful. They sat us quickly and no errors on the order. Beer was rather good (I had their dark brew). Food was fair for me (mushroom pasta) but others in our part of 10 commented that it was below their expectation.

    We came with a large group of 12 people. The ambience of the brewery is nice. The service was friendly and swift. No mistakes in orders etc. The food was Louisiana style. Fresh oysters were fat and juicy. It is one of the better restaurants in New Orleans. The beers of the microbrewery were a little bit disappointing. Not bad, but nothing special to remember.

    We were there with 14 people and the the service with one guy couldn’t have been better. Collin worked very hard and kept our large group happy. We all were impressed by the large portions. The food was exactly what we were hoping New Orleans tasted like. From the live band in the corner to the 2 hostess’s that seated up we will be coming back. The bar drinks were a little weak but from the amount of fun and noise out group was making you wouldn’t know. We will be back and I personally will bring my family back for a visit.

    Our party had mixed reviews of the food; some people really liked their dinners and others were so-so. We sat outside on the balcony so we had a lot of street noise and there were funny smells which detracted. Inside might have actually been a better experience.

    Food was the worst we had in new orleans. Beer was good. Waitress behaved as if we were an inconvenience, not a customer. Would not go back or recommend this place-too many other good restaurants in town.

    We went during the French Quarter Festival and sat out side opposite one of the stages hence our rating that the restaurant was loud. The service, Nathan, was excellent. He was attentive without being overbearing and quick to respond. Food was good. Beer was excellent.

    We were there for a bachelorette party and had the best waitress that I’ve had for a big group. However, the drinks were extremely pricey and the food was just good. I had two margaritas that were $19 a piece that were delicious, but expensive.

    The food was very good. The server was very sweet and helpful, but she entered my order in incorrectly and a different dish was brought to me. I had to wait for what I ordered to be made while my companion had her meal. The server was very apologetic and admitted her mistake. I would have thought a complimentary cocktail or discount on my bill would have happened, but it didn’t. There was a live band playing and when they took a break, the house music was waayyy too loud.

    This place was alright. We ended up here because it was one of the few places in the immediate area that took same day reservations. Not that it mattered; the place was nearly empty when we showed up at the allotted time anyway. Our server was great. She took care of us and checked on us regularly. My daughter spilled her lemonade all over the table immediately, and our server was completely unfazed as she cleaned up the mess and brought us a new cup. The beer was meh, but that’s mostly personal preference. I tend to like more intense, hoppier flavors whereas these were mostly German/Belgian-inspired brews. The food was good. My oldest daughter and I enjoyed our burgers. Even though mine was overcooked, it still had good flavor. My wife had the spicy chicken sandwich, which was not only tasty but the chicken was also twice as big as the bun so that was a plus. And my youngest daughter had the kids chicken strips, which were more seasoned and flavorful than is typical for a kids meal but she seemed to enjoy all the same. My biggest complaints were how shot out the tables and chairs were on the balcony where we ate, as well as how slow the food was to come out. The tables were broken around the edges and the chairs were cheap plastic. The indoor furniture in the dining room did appear to be higher quality so it’s not all cheap and flimsy. The food just took forever. We had a riverboat cruise reserved for 7:00pm so I figured a 5:00pm dinner reservation would give us plenty of time. But even though the red was nearly empty when we got there, it was still over an hour before our food came out. We had all of 15 minutes to choke down our food and get on our way to the riverboat so while the food was good, we didn’t have a chance to savor any of it. I would eat here again, but I would definitely recommend dining indoors and at a time when you have nowhere else you need to be.

    I ordered a medium steak. It was like very well done, so done that the one bite I took powdered in my mouth. Yuck. Ordered hurricane, first one amazing. Second one was horrible. Waiter said two different people made them. The apps had 0 flavor in them. We had a party of 9 and one person ate their food. Lots of better places to eat in the French Quarter. We will not be back. Very disappointing.

    Food was lukewarm when received. For entire table of 8. Made reservations for t7, arrived and waited 20 minutes and still were not seated together. Makes it hard to have a celebration when the party is t seated together. Manager offer to redo food, which was nice, but we’d waited an hour already

    Even with a reservation, you might need to wait for 20 mins. Interestingly, your reservation not being honored and being the customer does not help with the dialogues with the staff. You will still get the attitude if you ask twice about your table because your reservation time has already passed 15 mins. Even if everything were great, this is not the way you would like to start a night out with friends, so I would stay away if possible.
