    Meals were very tasteful. Filet mignon was brought out as medium rare by mistake as I ordered it be cooked medium well. Waiter apologized and the meat was returned to the kitchen to be seared longer. It was perfect when brought back to me.

    This is the best food we’ve had in NOLA, in the warmest, most elegant and most welcoming setting! Janine, Davi and Justin were excellent guides to the historic traditional menu. The smoked pompano with capers, sliced so thinly and smoked in-house, was a beautiful starter. My husband had the quail and seafood boudin, crunchy outside and tender within; and I loved the speckled trout meunière with perfect haricots verts and. Crabmeat; and those soufflé potatoes—oh my! Also loved the Mille-feuille for dessert…light as a feather!

    Absolutely what we had wished for. This was part of my daughter & 2 grandaughters Christmas gift. All points were wonderful. The entire experience was so pleasing … the staff, our waitress, the food, the ambiance, & that my seating request was honored. Sunday Brunch. Before attending a play at the Sanger. However. The best!! I somehow left my phone on our table. We were able to retrieve it before we left New Orleans. The kindness created huge gratefulness fir me.
