Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Old Fourth Ward

I recently had the pleasure of dining at O-Ku, and I can't stop thinking about the experience. The newly refreshed space is absolutely beautiful. The décor is modern yet cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the lighting to the seating, making it a delightful place to dine. Our server, Alysha (I hope I’ve spelled her name right!), truly made the experience unforgettable. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and kind throughout our meal. It's rare to come across someone so genuinely passionate about providing great service, and Alysha definitely went above and beyond. She made sure we were well taken care of without being overbearing, and her warm attitude made the evening even more special. We will definitely be back!!

A Perfect Valentine’s Dinner with an Unforgettable View! My Valentine’s Day at Sun Dial Restaurant was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The atmosphere was elegant yet cozy—perfect for a romantic evening. The food was absolutely exquisite. Every dish was crafted with precision, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, everything was flawless. The wine selection was also top-notch, pairing perfectly with our meal. What truly made the night special was the ambiance—soft lighting, a gentle rotation that gave us different views of the skyline, and impeccable service that made us feel like VIPs. It was an experience we’ll never forget. If you’re looking for a romantic dining experience, especially for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day, Sun Dial is the place to be.

Katie was amazing and we loved hearing about her cat and her funny stories. Very knowledgeable of the menu and great service. Thank you for making valentines special

It was our ten year anniversary so after ordering oysters (delicious!) and cocktails, we decided to order broiled lobster, which since they hadn’t updated the menu-they were not serving it. Okay, so we decided to go somewhere else. After explaining this to our amazing Server, O.D. He spoke to the Chef, Eddie. Eddie visited our table, apologized that the lobster was not available to be served the way we like, but he said that he would accommodate us and prepare it especially for us since it was our anniversary. He also served us a few complimentary dishes and a glass of champagne, too! The food was absolutely amazing, and we gave a generous tip to O.D in appreciation for going above and beyond. Chef’s kiss to Eddie and we will be returning.

Our waiter was awesome and food was outstanding! Thank you for the great experience!
