Conveniently set on Louisiana Street in North Park, our design of this intimate cocktail restaurant was inspired by the charm &; character of New Orleans, with creative touches of personal effects giving guests the feeling of warmth, community & fun
Architect Jeff Svitak helped create a modern interpretation of a classic French Quarter restaurant, introducing elements of wood, marble &; rich velvet. Our lush patio seating flows seamlessly into our indoor dining space, a nod to the courtyards found across the beautiful southern city.
Our rotating food menu will be dedicated to only the best seasonal ingredients, featuring big &; bold flavors from the region. Executive Chef Quinnton Austin recently relocated to San Diego from New Orleans, bringing with him an exciting wealth of knowledge &; experience in the culinary melting pot that defines southern cuisine

Not authentic LA food. Had three crawfish tails on the wings and minimal gator in the cheesecake. If you from the south, don’t go here.

Very loud. Food was under seasoned and cold upon serving. Entrees didn’t arrive at the same time had to wait 5-10 minutes for my guests meal. We ordered 3 itmes and got 1 drink and the bill was 90. Insane. Never go here again

The food was amazing but the whole experience felt rushed because the kitchen was closing, our reservation was at 7:30. Our dessert came out as we were still eating out main entrees. They began clearing dessert plates while people were still eating. Wish we had been notified that the kitchen was closing at a certain time and we could have moved our reservation up or tried another day!

Food was excellent but the steaks were pretty pricey as were the side dishes. Open air dining area was pretty cold to sit at. Service was very good.

Food was incredible. Super rich and very tasty. We ordered 2 holiday drinks, catfish etoufee, gumbo with a side order of catfish. Our table in the middle of the small room, facing the bathroom, and my seat had a full view of the toilet with the lights on during the entire meal. Not sure why they don’t have that covered by a curtain or have a door that actually swings closed. Our server was entertaining a lady at the bar during our meal so he was half present. Asked us if we wanted dessert, gave us the options, said he’d come back in 1 minute to take our order. We were ready to order the beignets but in the middle of us ordering he says “desserts going to have to wait until tomorrow because the kitchen is closed.” First of all, why didn’t you tell the kitchen how many dessert tables you have left. Secondly, why didn’t you give us a warning before the kitchen closed. Third, admit you’re wrong before you cut us off as we try to order dessert. I’ve been working in restaurants for the last 7 years, with this price point you gotta do better man. Wack.
