    Ambiance and service were excellent. The food options were good, I did a 3 course option with gumbo, half a jerk chicken with broccolini and sweet potato, and bread pudding. My wife had lamb empenadas and an amazing cauliflower dish. Each dish was good, especially the cauliflower and bread pudding. Also had a couple of drinks that were excellent. Would definitely come back and will recommend to others visiting NOLA.

    There were 8 of us and the Revellion menu had something for us all. Not one of the group was dissatisfied with any part of the meal. Two meals of particular brilliance were the chopping and the roasted duck. The ciopino was all Louisiana in style and in flavor. The roasted duck in a grape blueberry confit was genius and easily the best game bird I ever tasted. An honorable mention and very honorable indeed was the pork chop which was thick delicious and tender. Randy provided an excellent night of service, knowledgeable and attentive. A very professionable waiter.
