We went for a birthday celebration. Amazing food, great service…ask for Michael Pierce. The lasagna was sooo good and the baby drum fish special with mashed sweet potatoes was incredible. Highly recommend.
The staff members are very attentive and friendly. The food was phenomenal! I was torn between the Lamb and the Chicken and went with the Chicken Rosemarino. I was pleasantly surprised! The chicken was very flavorful and delicious! We also had the oysters and Crabmeat Gouda dip were so good! I am definitely coming back!
I was recommended by a friend to eat here during my time in New Orleans and this dinner ended up being my favorite part of the trip. Beautiful ambiance, top-notch service and food that makes your soul smile. Truly a 5 star experience. Don’t miss this one!
Amazing food. Exemplary service. Perfectly made cocktails. Beautiful setting. We have been many times and never had anything that wasn’t delicious. Kelli our server was so great. As was the Legendary Mr Michael. He was even so kind as to show us the back courtyard. A lovely evening.
Everything was wonderful! We had the Escargot, Duck, Lamb and Tiramisu. Andrew was one of the best servers I have ever had in a restaurant, and we will definitely be back next time we're in NOLA. We also met Sister Nicholas and she was lovely
