    Dauphine’s is always soo good. I tried a new cocktail last night which was delicious and recommended by our wonderful waiter. I chose the fried artichoke which was a wonderful choice and the chef also made me some duck cracklin as well. I was a happy camper and so were my guests visiting from Charlottesville :)

    Stumbled in for a last minute resy and were pleasantly surprised to see jazz brunch. Sat by the musicians but still able to converse and it added so much to the atmosphere. We loved everything about it. Also the bread basket was diverse and delicious. We ate through two of them. Next time hoping we can stay for the beignets and espresso martinis. Also need to grab a spot at that beautiful ornate bar.
