Throwing it back with an old photo from Birdy’s Behind the Bower in New Orleans, it’s still one of my favorite spots! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the food is always on point. Perfect place for a laid back meal or a drink with friends. Can’t wait to go back

Our res was for indoor, it we noticed how loud it was and were accommodated for outdoor instead. The area seems more posh and away from the tourist spots. Food was tasty - brunch board in particular- and I really enjoyed the spritz options and other brunch cocktails offered. The service, however was incredibly slow. I had to remind our server of the need for our check after she had made round trips and then went to make others coffee. The service is why I don’t plan to return.

Our group had a great time. I loved the biscuits and gravy. They were the best.

DO NOT use your precious New Orleans time at this restaurant. Took 55 minutes to get food and was ice cold. Not worth it. Nice waiter tho!

Would like to shout out Gabby our waitress from Sunday morning. Fantastic service. Really went out of her way to make our meal great.

Food was fantastic. Cannot speak more highly of the brunch menu. Bottomless mimosas was also great! Out door patio was covered and cool which is a must in NOLA.

10/10 will return

The food was absolutely amazing and flavorful. The endless mimosas lived up to it's name and my glass was never empty. I really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant and the friendly staff. Only critique i have is, that is the only restaurant where they weren't able to split the bill.

I ordered an ube latte with oat milk instead of coconut milk. My server, Kevin, brought me an ube matcha latte instead. When I said I wanted the regular ube latte, he walked away and then came back a moment later and asked if it had matcha in it because he couldn’t tell. There was a dollop of green foam in the middle of the drink so I don’t how he couldn’t tell!

But finally I get the ube latte and it’s of course with coconut milk and not oat like I had asked, but I drank it anyway because at this point, it had already taken too long. It also took a really long time to get our food — which I got the Graceland French toast and my friend got the pimento toast. You wouldn’t expect to wait 20-30 minutes for those types of food. Our server Kevin didn’t bother to check in with us and update us on the status of our food. I get that they were busy, but communication would have been nice and I’ve been to plenty of busier restaurants with more complicated menus that have gotten food out way quicker.

When we finally got the food, it was good - nothing ridiculously amazing to validate our $70 check though for French toast, pimento toast, latte, 1 cocktail, and a side of potatoes, and sausage!

Their clientele is clearly more targeted toward boujie girls who want a place that looks good on Instagram that overcharges to make them think the place is worth more than it is.

Very cute little place slightly tucked away off of Magazine Street. I was meeting someone who was running late and the service was perfect, not pushy at all but just right.
I got the iced lavender latte and my friend got the ube. My smoked salmon toast was very good with only a slight complaint of a desire for more salmon as it felt like a thin layer, but c’est la vie.
My date got the elote pork belly which I tried and was nice and spicy. Overall a good time. I’m including a picture of the S&WB sign with the flowers around it from outside because it’s really matched the whole vibe of the place.

Hair in my plate others of my family didn’t. My oldest liked her food youngest didn’t she was not a fan of the yogurt and yogurt is her favorite. All though I had a hair the food was good up until then I had the peaches and cream waffle. My oldest had the kids plate with pancakes eggs and bacon she enjoyed it. All though we all where extremely over heated with our out side seating it was either that or a 35 min wait. Would have taken the wait if I knew there would be so much hassle dealing with flies. Our waiter seated us took our drink and food orders did not come back for a hour to give us our ticket. She forgot to give us our silverware so when another young lady came a brought us our food we had nothing to eat with.

Walking in there were flies on the table. I ordered the Classic breakfast and it took a very long amount of time to come out, and the worse part was how for $3 I got about a tablespoon worth of avocado as a side. The service was good. Found the restaurant to be esthetically pleasing but not special beyond that. Food was delicious but very overpriced.
