This is my favorite restaurant in New Orleans. I have eaten here many, many times and I have never been disappointed. Highly recommend the brussels sprouts, the French 75, or anything that strikes your fancy.

Our service team, Sylas and Myles, were phenomenal! Very welcoming, pleasant to talk to, and reflected genuine Southern hospitality. An added highlight to the end of our visit was Roydell (sp?), who took us on a tour of the various rooms and gave the stories behind each. He is an excellent ambassador for your restaurant! We will request him and Wylita (sp?) on our next visit. Great time on curating a fantastic team!
