The best bread pudding I’ve ever had with amazing customer service from the bartenders. I came on a Sunday night and received phenomenal service from Devon. The Crescent City Sampler of 4 was ok, but the fried tomatoes and bread pudding are what wow’d me. Even so, I came back on Tuesday afternoon and ordered the bread pudding again. The bartender was SO sweet and she, just like Devon, allowed for the best, hospitable experience.

We went twice because the service was fast and friendly. The food was great and definitely full of local favorites. Both of our servers were helpful and informative, but I would like to give a special shout out to Paris for her hospitality and service. We love the history that was shared in the menu and plan to return in future trips to New Orleans.

The food was amazing! So good I went twice. I had the blackened redfish, fries, jambalaya and fried alligator the first time, and the fish again, with grits, jambalaya and shrimps the second time around. Our waiters both times were very pleasant and helpful. The chef also recognised we’d been there twice in 3 days and gave us free banana pudding. Lovely place. I’ll definitely be revisiting if I’m ever in NOLA again.

right in the heart of the french quarter and we walked into this restaurant to grab some lunch. we ordered the shrimp po boy and the cheeseburger. the po boy was absolutely delicious. crispy moist shrimp and crispy fries. the burger was probably the best burger i’ve ever had. super moist and juicy. our server wasn’t really checking in on us but he was friendly when first taking our order. we recommend to anyone visiting the area!
