Five stars! Highly recommend! The same chicken I've always loved at the old location. Once again I felt like I had died and gone to fried chicken heaven! Gumbo so delicious that when I had eaten it all I wanted to pick up the empty owl and lick it. And the praline bread pudding... no words for how heavenly it is. If you go, ask for Regan. He was our server and is a New Orleans ray of sunshine. Very lovely interior, and cool vibe in this new location. One of the best experiences I've had in any New Orleans restaurant EVER.

We did the eight course tasting menu and chef John knocked it out of the park!! The progression was perfect, the spacing between courses was good and the play on southeast Asian flavors was right on the money . Look forward to my next trip to NOLA.
