    The service is great from beginning to end. The whole place is designed well with great ambiance. The bruschetta is truly amazing as is the lamb chop meal. Highly recommend trying multiple things if you go with a group!

    From the moment we walked up to the door the staff was friendly and professional. The restaurant is warm and welcoming. Our server “Sugar Bear” was very knowledgeable, funny and just overall excellent. Our meals were perfectly prepared and the timing was excellent. The wine list is extensive . They make their desserts daily unfortunately we were too sated to indulge. We first ate here 12 years ago and loved it. The ambience, food and service in the new space has only become better

    Easily a New Orleans favorite! (Tied for our favorite in the city.) And that includes all the James Beard winners. Top tier food and experience.
