    We were visiting New Orleans and stop in for lunch! We had a wonderful server, Tyriell. She was friendly and helpful when we had questions about the menu. We will recommend Mondays. It was a beautiful day to sit outside and have a great lunch.

    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.
