    Our server was amazing. He was knowledgeable about the menu and patient while we decided what to order. The food arrived quickly and was delicious down to the last bite! The margarita was $15 but worth every penny! I absolutely recommend and will certainly be back soon!

    This is the first time in a while I can say that both my husband and I picked the wrong dish. I picked the crawfish delacroix and the dish was just ok and the food temp was off. My dish was not hot but at room temp. Food should always be served hot My husband ordered the pork chops and he said the pork was dry and not what he expected.  The drinks are perfect and the service is always good but the kitchen was lacking this time.

    Great food and service at an historic Nola restaurant. The restaurant is a 90 year old tavern that has been renovated and feels new but still históric. Exceptional service- Fast, friendly and professional. The food/drinks were outstanding: Crawfish Mac and cheese, shrimp poboy with fried tomatoes and a bowl of gumbo and two strong mezcalitas for 60 all in. One of the best restaurant experiences in recent memory.

    This is a cozy local gem! I've been eating here for 54 years and I've never been disappointed by the food or service. The drinks are potent and not expensive. Try the onion rings or Crab Marne ( warm brie covered with sauteed lump crab meat served with toasted french bread) for an appetizer. The entrees are varied and include fresh fish, steak, lamb, pork and chicken dishes. There is something to please nearly everyone. (I believe they have the best Steak Frites with chimichurri sauce in the city.) Most nights I'm too full for dessert but everyone should try the fried bread pudding po-boy at least once. The peanut butter tart is also delicious.
