   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.

   Awesome, top to bottom. Our group had 4 different cocktails, all of which were fantastic and really complex/interesting. The same was true of each dish; haggis, fried rabbit, sunchokes, and wagyu tongue. Each was beyond our expectation and we talked about them for days! We'll be back.

   We were seated in the courtyard next to a lively large group, the atmosphere was lovely. The whole staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I have a wheat allergy and my waiter hand marked my menu as to what was safe and which dishes might be suseptible to cross contamination. The cocktails are top notch, so plan to try more than one! For our third, we described what we liked and our waiter suggested an off menu cocktail. We both throughly enjoyed our waiter's custom cocktail choice! For starter, the sunchokes with miso were crispy on the outside and soft creamy comfort on the inside. The white asparagus was better than I've had in Belgium and the Netherlands. I had the tender tongue and my husband really enjoyed the Boudin Noir as a main dish.

   We had a perfect post parade dinner with the sweetest server! Really fun cocktails, wine and creative delicious fare. A really lovely space and reprieve from the chaos of the quarter, even amongst Mardi Gras revelers. We forgot his name but, the Denver transplant, great service!

   Lovely upstairs dining room, intimate yet lively with diners. Delicious and creative dining paired with a well-curated, mid-sized wine list. Very accessible and friendly staff with good attention to detail.

   Absolutely fantastic as always! Tried several recommendations from our server Galen and they were all amazing. I’ve never liked rice pudding before, but the Truffled Rice Pudding from tonight is going into my top 10 desserts!

   Delicious craft cocktails and a very interesting menu. It was nice to get away from the loud crowds and relax outside with nice food, drinks and great service.

   Great server. We were sat upstairs so it didn’t have the nice vibe of the downstairs which was unfortunate. The caviar service was excellent, however the wagyu tongue & trout we did not enjoy. Would not go back.

    Everything was really incredible. We came in for drinks and snacks. We had the crawfish and lobster raviolo which was equally airy, decadent, and filling. I started with a traditional Brandy Crusta which was so beautiful and followed with one of the house cocktails, Harlequin, a cachaça and guava drink that was also so so good. My friend's drinks were also perfectly balanced and well executed. Vibes were great, service was great. 10/10
