We were greeted the minute we walked in and seated. The staff and food were amazing will definitely be back. 10/10
Machine broken - unable to get ordered drink. Out of cheese - appetizer not available to order Two tries to get plain noodles and butter for kid's meal...
We had a reservation, showed up and the restaurant was basically empty. The hostess informed us it would be able 10 minutes before our table was ready. We waited for almost 40 minutes until we finally asked what the hold up was and she informed us we wouldn't be getting a table - no reasoning was given. We asked to sit at the bar and instead of encouraging it, the bartender told us the service would be really slow and we likely wouldn't get food or drinks in a timely manner compared to if we were at a table. So we left. Didn't get to try the food because the wait staff didnt seem to want to serve us.
Food was outstanding and our waitress was top notch. I loved everything about it! I will definitely come again
During lunch hours the service was top notch and quick. The food was great, lots too choose from so we got a few things to split/try. Everything was amazing!
The food was good. Wenhad one issue with pasta needing to be hot but it was taken care of quickly. The restaurant was fairly empty and we still had to wait a minute for the signature drink that was order but Joshua was very apologetic and an overall great server. He took time to answer questions about the menu, and he was very polite.
This was my first experience at this restaurant and it was a wonderful visit. Normally it is too packed to even get in but on this day it was relatively empty of which I was grateful. My friends and I all were very satisfied with the food and service. We decided to sit outside and was given a seat in a nice shaded area with a fan blowing on us which was appreciated for the warm day. Devin was our server and she was sure to follow up and keep our bottomless drinks full. The meals came out pretty swiftly to our surprise but it wasn't lacking in heat nor flavor. We were checked on by other staff members as well when our glasses could use a refill. We also weren't rushed to leave when we were done eating. The drinks continued to come. I would definitely return.
The place is large, and there's ample street parking and paid lots close by. The food, unfortunately, was mediocre at best.
I took a group of 7 young ladies for dinner. They were very patient with us and let us each pay separately which was very nice. They were very busy and also let us make a reservation - which was super helpful. I would recommend this restaurant.
If you're a tourist visiting, don't let this put you off about the place because it's worth a visit. They;'re not great at the hostess portion. Once you get seated it's a good experience and they can usually accomodate large groups on the fly which is not usual for New Orleans. We went about 1045am on a Sunday and had a reservation but we stood at the podium without being treated by anyone for about 10 min. Once we were sat the server was attentive and happy and the all 5 diners were pleasantly surprised by the food being pretty good and it came out to the table in a good amount of time.

Been to New Orleans 3 times and every time we eat here. It's definitely our favorite. Never disappoints!
The service was very long. It seem maybe they only had one waitress for the time I was there. She took very long to come back as tot he point we had to ask the hostess for things. The forks were a little dirty had to get more. The drinks are not good at all. I expected more pleasant experience.
We went for brunch, bottomless mimosas. Our sever only served us a pitcher, as we finished that she brought our checks. Did not ask if we needed anything else. We had 3 each. Our server was not attentive to us as we watched other servers be on top of their order and keeping the bottomless coming. Very disappointing
It's always a vibe when I come. The food, the servers, the people everything is always on point.
This place is amazing! We stopped in after a tour of the WWII Museum and their courtyard did not disappoint! AJ was a fabulous host, the food was incredible, full of flavors and cooked to perfection! Our 3-year old daughter loved the flamingos and decor, and there was plenty of space for her to roam around. We will definitely be back!
