Had Rajun Cajun Pasta and Crabmeat stuffed mushrooms. Both were good, especially the pasta! Our server, Dan, was great.

Keep it simple, order a po' boy and a yummy frozen drink and enjoy the open air windows and free music from street performers. The ham and cheese sandwhich is filling and great for a quick bite and the server was attentive.

Came across this hidden gem while visiting for The Literary GEM Awards. The service was amazing, the food was a generous portion and delicious. We had such a blast with the staff and the locals at this establishment. Would highly recommend eating here if you would like some authentic food away from the tourist chain eateries.

This place is awesome if you’re looking for some quick drinks while you cool off during a long day in New Orleans. We had a few rounds of drinks, which were all pretty good, and enjoyed the cathedral views alongside some amazing street music that was being performed right in front of the restaurant. Windows and doors are opened out to enjoy the plaza and street music/vendors. We didn’t have any food just drinks but the food seemed traditional New Orleans food and it looked great. Definitely recommended for anyone looking to take a quick break from walking or touring the city and grabbing some quick drinks.

We got mimosas and grits lol, so we didn’t indulge hard but the service we got for such a small order was wonderful. The view of the square from inside is the existential experience you will remember for years. Thanks guys

Just stopped in to grab a couple drinks and take a break from walking around the quarter. Drinks were good and reasonably priced compared to others in the area. Nice view if you get a window seat as well.
