Overall excellent choice for dining. It is a Michelin starred restaurant. Great food, service, etc.Our first time going and we went for brunch. They had the live jazz band. You definitely get a feel of the Nawlins ambience! I was a little surprised at the small portions. But we filled up with the delicious bread basket and I had the oysters as an appetizer with the crab cake, potato salad and collard greens. Hubby had catfish and grits which he loved. Next time I plan to try dessert and the raw fish tower..

Great time for afternoon tea. Food and service were both very good. If it is cold out, recommend getting a spot away from the door, it can be drafty. Looking forward to coming back for drinks and dinner.

This is definitely a special occasion restaurant, and I really wanted to impress my favorite niece after our Christmas concert - TSO! Kitty was awesome!! He's been there for a few years he knew just how much to bother us, and how to help us navigate the menu. We did the classic tasting menu and it didn't disappoint! Everything about our visit set our Christmas off to a great start! And the host, Alexis, was amazing!!!
