Great for outdoor dining

Conveniently set on Louisiana Street in North Park, our design of this intimate cocktail restaurant was inspired by the charm &; character of New Orleans, with creative touches of personal effects giving guests the feeling of warmth, community & fun
Architect Jeff Svitak helped create a modern interpretation of a classic French Quarter restaurant, introducing elements of wood, marble &; rich velvet. Our lush patio seating flows seamlessly into our indoor dining space, a nod to the courtyards found across the beautiful southern city.
Our rotating food menu will be dedicated to only the best seasonal ingredients, featuring big &; bold flavors from the region. Executive Chef Quinnton Austin recently relocated to San Diego from New Orleans, bringing with him an exciting wealth of knowledge &; experience in the culinary melting pot that defines southern cuisine

Excited to try this place & well… extremely underwhelming to say the least. Short staffed so our waitress was the host and served us, which means she would disappear for such a long time. Which would explain why our food arrived cold. Ordered the biscuits for appetizer, had potential but again- arrived cold. The prices don’t match the value, fish was undercooked & sad to say but I’m from the south and the yams were so disappointing. Also, never knew oxtails to be less than friend dish on a menu.
