   So glad to have stumbled upon this place while walking through Bywater. This cozy spot has some of the best food and drinks I have tasted in New Orleans. The Adult's French Toast was phenomenal! And I will be thinking about it for days! And the Medicina Por Favor was superb! I will definitely be making a trip back on my next visit!

   Went for an early breakfast before the krewe of red beans. Service was 10/10, food came out quick, the plantains and chilaquiles and my aperol spritz were fabulous! Thanks for the hospitality, yall!

   very delicious food. the seafood omelette, french toast, potatoes and the plantains were all fire. service could’ve been more timely and my tiny table in particular next to a 7 top with kids was a bit noisy for my liking but other than that, great first-time experience. the watermelon acqua fresca goes hard as f*** btw

   Good food but the service was terrible. Over 30 minutes for our drinks is unacceptable. I had to ask for a water refill and she refilled the other glass but not mine. I had to re-request mine to be filled. Nice waitress but not good. Had the crab omelette and French toast. And a mocktail margarita - wouldn’t get that again. I’ve had far better elsewhere.

   We sat for 15 minutes after receiving menus without anyone coming to offer us coffee or water or anything,. The restaurant was well staffed and it wasn't busy. We were finally able to attract someone's attention and they went in search of our server. Aside from the inattentiveness of the staff, the food was excellent.

    Tortillas are the best in the city. Large portions.
