Where to begin. Food. I would say the best filet in town! Sides were amazing and plenty to share. I am a French onion soup snob,(had it seven times in Paris), and it was divine! From the beginning, our party of five fell in love with Terrance and Thomas! And the gentleman with him, it was Double T double D! From napkin in the lap to folded if you left the table(it's the little things that are few and far between). They watched to see if refills were needed and were beyond attentive! The entree presentation was awesome! I cannot say enough good things! Fixing to enjoy a chocolate martini before leaving! It's a must if you are visiting Nola!

The Ambiance was amazing but the seating is a little crowded and tableare small. My steak was salty and over cooked while the mac and cheese was bland. For the price and outcome of the food I would probably not go back.

Based on the high ratings, I expected more and was really disappointed by the quality of the meal itself, however the service of the staff was attentive and the view of the park was nice.We ordered their salad of the day - some pieces of the lettuce were wilted and the avocado was brown in spots and over ripe. That’s reasonable for making a salad at home but not for $26 at a steakhouse. For the main, we ordered the bone in filet with a side lobster and then their au gratin potatoes.The bone in filet arrived gray and cooked unevenly, I imagine because of the bone. We asked for medium and it was a mix between medium rare and rare. However, they serve their food with these impossibly hot plates with butter on them that pop when they come to the table - so I guess it had a bit of a Korean bbq effect and we used the plate to bring the meat to medium…. The lobster tail was prepared well, but flavorless. The potatoes were chunked and covered in a bright yellow cheese. I’ve never seen au gratin potatoes prepared in this way and their method should be abandoned.Speaking of the impossibly hot butter plates for serving (which I would have declined in hindsight) they popped when they brought them out and now I need to figure out how to get popped oil stains out of the sleeve of my jacket that resulted when the server was placing the plates on the table and my daughter also got popped in the face with the oil splattered bits of her hot plate too. They should at minimum make the oil splattering plates an “opt in” experience.Overall, I’ve gotten better steaks at most national chain steakhouses. This was disappointing to say the least. Would never recommend.

Food was terrific as usual. Our backup waiter was outstanding but the head waiter and "3rd string" waiters(?) were uninterested. Maybe Metry will be

An incident happened where a black woman was asked to leave based on her attire. A white lady with similar attire was seated eating and was NOT asked to leave. Management has not taken accountability or addressed this. This is the second time this place has been called out for racism! Before this they were double charging black gratuity!

A coworker and I were asked to leave and denied service. We eat there about once a week as is next to our job but today, after we sat at the bar, the lady over sales walked to us and asked to leave, claiming we looked as if we were coming from Gym which was against their dress code policy. We told her we were on our lunch hr and we were regulars. However, she asked us to leave. In front of us, was a lady sitting, enjoying her meal, wearing tennis shoes, sweat pants, and a sports vest. We asked to speak to the Manager, (Chris ) who apologized for the oversight in letting her dine. Not once did anyone apologize for the embarrassing and humiliating moment as there people observing at the time we were kicked out. It was clearly based on our color, as the other lady was wearing the same type of clothing but remained seated. Amber Rose during Mardigras was spotted wearing similar clothing and still was served. Again, we go there every week wearing the same type of clothing and not once had anyone stopped or worse denied service. It has been the worse experience ever.

Food was delicious. We had the tuna napoleon and the fried green tomatoes, along with the petite filet. Everything was outstanding. Our steaks were cooked perfect! Will definitely dine here again!

This was one of the best ribeyes ive had in a while! The brussel sprouts were my favorite side dish and the fresh bread was delicious. We waited 15 min for a table because we changed from 4 to 5 people after making the reservation, but they were able to accommodate. We had two waiters who were very pleasant although the food took a while to come out. The crowd died down around 9 and they started playing music, which was a little too loud for the setting in my opinion. Overall i would return and recommend to a friend.Wheelchair accessibility: The restrooms were upstairs but there is an elevator. There is a hump to get over the door threshold but no steps to the front entrance.

We had a fantastic experience last night, Friday 3/1/24. Our waiter was Kevin and team. From cocktails, Filet Mignon and a NY strip to red velvet brownie sundae. Highly recommended
