    I can’t say enough good things about my first experience. The staff are warm and very attentive, the atmosphere is perfect for an intimate celebration or date. I didn’t feel like I was in New Orleans, it was a very unique experience that I can’t adequately explain. The caviar and its presentation, the small plates and the pork belly, and all the desserts were unique and just plain perfect. The cocktails didn’t disappoint, I highly recommend the King Creole and Brandy Crusta. I wish I were a better writer, because this place is both a jewel and a gem, and I look forward to next time.

    A little hidden gem , with great decor, and awesome vibe! Food was great and the value - fantastic! Options to save money if you pay by cash so we paid by cash. We tried new dishes and kept a few staples. Best dish was the muscles with garlic sauce and excellent bread! Would have liked to try the Red Fish, but was out at the time. Thank you!
