Reviews
We walked through Frenchman to get to this restaurant which is a great area. If you're not from New Orleans, you need to walk through it. The building and atmosphere itself is great. Industrial vibe. Great big windows light in nice layout with a loft. We started with a margarita pizza which was excellent. We had drinks that were all great. We tried the squid spaghetti. I had grilled fish which was excellent. Love this place.
The atmosphere was breathtaking, we sat upstairs. We truly enjoyed the squid ink spaghetti as our starter. It was divine. Our entrees were amazingly fresh and light. The sauces on each dish were remarkably rich and smooth. This place is a 10/10 for a date night!!! ♥️ Not pictured, we had drinks as well. My man had mocktails: Chaos Garden and Aftersun; I enjoyed a Victory Lap. My drink was a vibe! I highly recommend it.
If you expect an authentic Italian place, this is not it. They’re trying, but it just didn’t feel authentic. The pizza was really not good — the crust was very hard, and the ranch dressing on the merguez pizza completely threw off the flavor. The spaghetti, however, were great. Still, overall I wouldn’t go back. No recommendation from me.
We had a wonderful brunch in an energetic atmosphere with outstanding service. We sat at the bar which we will request in the future so that we can watch the chef prepare food and while the servers work seamlessly. We had a couple of delicious Bloody Mary’s that had the right amount of spice. For our meal, we had the Huevos Rancheros and the Jumbo Lump Crab Benedict. Both were delicious with delicate seasonings to enhance the flavor of the dish. Added another Bloody Mary and Mimosa to finish the brunch with the lemon ricotta pancakes. The pancakes are light, fluffy and flavorful. An enjoyable atmosphere with great food, we’ll be back.
Very different atmosphere compared to other places we have been to in New Orleans. Definitely a little further than we wanted to go and it is next to a power plant. But the food and the service were impact-able. Our server was phenomenal. The drinks were amazing. Definitely farm to table feel. The squid ink shrimp pasta were out of the world. We also tried their brick oven, thin crust pizza, which was amazing.
