    My husband and I made a reservation here for Valentine’s Day. It was our first time in the city and to be honest we didn’t really know what to expect. The staff were wonderful! They were all so kind and worked together as a team pretty seamlessly. I don’t feel like we had to wait around for anything. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing. I got the pumpkin ravioli and my husband got the fillet with asparagus. We loved both dishes so much and left feeling satisfied. Safe to say if we come back to the city we’ll be back here for sure!

    First night in NO. Food was amazing. I had Grilled Lamb chops but mashed potatos were lacking. GF had pork chops with mashed sweet potatoes and spinach. Salad and seafood gumbo were great starters. Took a while to get drinks. Shouldn’t be that difficult to pour wine and grab a cold can of beer. Overall food was great, atmosphere was great. Live jazz in the club could be heard from all tables in the building w/o having to buy the ticket to enter. Great atmosphere and food.
