- MMartyvipSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoIf you’re looking for a spot with a lively New Orleans vibe and flavorful dishes, this restaurant hits the mark. The menu was packed with tasty options, and everything we tried was well-prepared and delicious. The atmosphere was warm and vibrant, capturing that Southern charm perfectly. However, the Cognac Espresso Martini was a bit of a letdown. I’d suggest sticking with their other beverage offerings or pairing your meal with a classic cocktail or wine instead. Overall, it’s a great spot for a flavorful meal and a fun experience, but I’d pass on the espresso martini.More infoLouisiana Purchase SDPrice: Expensive• Creole / Cajun / Southern• North Park•4.5
- DDillonvipNew York City •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoIt was a pleasant dining experience. We sat between two heat lamps just outside of the restaurant. The special crudo of the day was refreshing and clean tasting. The two-face tostada was also good. The memorable dish of the night was the risotto. It was creamy but not overly rich and the rice had a good bite to it.More infoCrudo Ceviche & Oyster BarPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Little Italy•4.5
