About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Romantic
August is a Contemporary Creole restaurant creating unique dishes with a focus on Louisiana ingredients and inspired by classical training. Located in a historic 19th century French-Creole building in New Orleans’ Central Business District, the main dining room caters to the most unique dining experience. The interior is rich with original architectural details, gleaming hardwood floors, soaring columns, mahogany paneling and antique mirrors.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Corey Thomas

From the OpenTable editors: August remains the flagship restaurant within the BRG Hospitality group, and it’s a grande dame dining room of New Orleans. The building rose tall in the 1830s, and the elegant space features mahogany panels and antique mirrors. The modern Creole menu offers a chef’s tasting in seven courses, from red snapper crudo to lavender panna cotta. The team also has a reputation for impeccable service, earning a couple of James Beard nominations in the past decade.

    We shared the beef tartare and the dry age duck. Both were awesome. Our waitress Ann Marie was very knowledgeable and attentive. It was a great evening.

    A great Creole restaurant. The presentation and food were amazing. Started with the Wagyu Tartare and had the Snapper Pontchartrain as my entree. For dessert had the Mille Feuille. It was amazing.
