    Went for our anniversary. We were give a champagne toast which was very nice. My husband had the steam shrimp appetizer. The shrimp were very hard to peel like they were overcooked. He ordered bone in ribeye and he was not crazy about it. It was very fatty and expensive. I had west coast oysters. They were very good but VERY expensive. Like over $40 for 6 oysters!! It said mkt price and should have asked. I ordered the salmon for my meal and it was delicious!! I would go back just to order that again. Service was great. Although the reviews are mixed I would definitely go back.

    I believe they changed their pricing since I visited over a year ago. Food quality excellent, service was great in the beginning with the server knowing the menu, but at the end of the meal she was nowhere to be found- had to find another server to get our bill and wait for them to come get it. The wine glass prices in my opinion were very overpriced at $30.00 per glass with limited selection. If you want the view and ambience then go, but if you want a fine dining experience with the same quality & service and better value, best to visit the many other fine dining restaurants NOLA has to offer.
