    Jorge, saved the evening to celebrate in New Orleans, my wife’s birthday on our last night after a week. It was obvious our waiter was either overwhelmed, didn’t care, or didn’t think we were with his time. I was prepared to reach out to ownership through a mutual friend it was that obnoxiously bad as far as service. Jorge came by to check on us and we politely explained the events that meals arrived on the heals of appetizers without second course of soups even arriving. The 30 minutes plus of not being checked on or dinner service not being removed. Jorge apologized for the situation took full control. Made sure that the last third of our experience was over the top. Again, Jorge saved the night. Unfortunately for our waiter I typically tip 35%-40% as I know these people get shorted for their efforts. The lack of effort resulted in an industry standard tip of 20%. Because of Jorge and the waiter did take and bring our drink order. Jorge demonstrated excellent customer service.

    The crabmeat cheesecake was the perfect way to start our dining experience!! Entrees were appropriate temperature, portion size and delicious!! After brunch, we spent time upstairs for afternoon cocktails and dessert. Beautiful Old Fashions with White Chocolate Bread Pudding.

    Fantastic! Love the second floor. The crabmeat cheese cake it to die for. It’s so rich and it rests on a rich brown sauce. Add a salads and it’s a perfect lunch. The service was friendly and the staff attentive.
