August is a Contemporary Creole restaurant creating unique dishes with a focus on Louisiana ingredients and inspired by classical training. Located in a historic 19th century French-Creole building in New Orleans’ Central Business District, the main dining room caters to the most unique dining experience. The interior is rich with original architectural details, gleaming hardwood floors, soaring columns, mahogany paneling and antique mirrors.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Corey Thomas

From the OpenTable editors: August remains the flagship restaurant within the BRG Hospitality group, and it’s a grande dame dining room of New Orleans. The building rose tall in the 1830s, and the elegant space features mahogany panels and antique mirrors. The modern Creole menu offers a chef’s tasting in seven courses, from red snapper crudo to lavender panna cotta. The team also has a reputation for impeccable service, earning a couple of James Beard nominations in the past decade.

    My fiancé and I both got sick post dinner and are currently taking turns using the restroom. The food was delicious but it turned our bodies into hydrants. Not sure what did it but we couldn’t believe how great the food and ambience was. Something wasn’t cooked properly. Probably will never go again. Costera had a similar price point and didn’t make us sick.

    Food and service were both excellent! We opted to do a la carte and the portions were huge. Highly recommend the duck breast - perfectly seasoned with a good sear!
