I went for a cocktail and loved the vibes and the drinks! I’ll definitely be back. Good location - and if you drive, street parking was available right out front!

We popped in for happy hour and were thrilled to have the patio all to ourselves! Our server was so friendly and helpful, the drinks were exactly what we wanted, and the Carrot Tempura was life changing. I need the recipe for that curry butter! We’ll definitely be back next time we are in New Orleans!

Hip spot for a good meal. It's a somewhat limited menu, but each dish is done well.

Stopped by because the drink menu looked interesting. Ordered wine, a cocktail, and smoked egg plant dip.The wine was good and the dip was tasty. Unfortunately the $15 cocktail was not great and the Service was mediocre. I didn't drink the cocktail and they didn't notice. Paid $54.00 and was a bit disappointed. I wouldn't completely rule Hungry Eyes out but with so many other places in the neighborhood they should put in a little more effort.

It was a Thursday night and there were six of us sitting at the window table. We ordered almost everything on the menu. The food was great. Really a fun innovative menu - love it!Our server was visibly urked when after 20 minutes I asked about the cocktail I ordered. She was pissed that I asked. And said, 'yes, they have your order' and was pointing to the bar. She never went to the bar to check after that. The whole table got quiet looking at her. She then proceeded to ignore our table. I will say, she tried to put on a happy face but it was empty.A gentleman came to deliver a couple of our dishes at one point and he was nice but all business. No smile no warmth.I'm unlikely to return because of poor service even though the food is outstanding.Thanks.

This place is so very cool. We sat at the bar. My buddy ordered a tequila drink and it was amazing.The drink pictured in the photo was the beatnik. It was one of the worst drinks I’ve ever had in my life, I’m pretty sure it was incorrectly mixed as it was so smoky/chili flavored I could not drink it. The bartenders were nice but a little aloof. A very aware bartender would notice that you’re not drinking your drink and asked to swap it out. I think it potentially was just closing time and people were ready to go.I’m still leaving a high review as we would come back again. I simply think it was just an off night and a bad pour on one drink.

I didn't want to give this one star because the vibe is really nice and the service was OK, but the food was a rare miss for me, especially given the standard in New Orleans. We did the tasting menu and found most dishes to be completely out of balance, completely reliant on very heavy seasoning rather than interesting flavor combinations, cooking techniques or even just ingredient quality. The main dish was a piece of overcooked bland Pacific bass in a (to me) standard-tasting curry sauce. I didn't even touch the tiramisu dessert, but our server didn't check in as to why that was. The standout was a lightly fried carrot with a nice dipping sauce. Given the glowing reviews, I suspect we caught them on an off day.Other than a single oyster, everything we had seemed to be available on the a la carte menu, and unless that was a $10 oyster, it would have been cheaper to order a la carte as well.

Get the carrots, trust me you won’t be disappointed! From the bar: the cosmo and espresso martini was a hit at the table. I did a tasting here and everyone raved about the meal.

Surprising combinations make for an absolute treat for the taste buds. There is not a bad choice on this menu. We got so full on "starters" that we ended up eating mostly vegetables. Tempura carrots with curried butter...holy cr@p. The fries are duster with some combination of spice I cannot place but loved along with toum sauce (look it up). But the absolute fave was the shredded broccoli and cauliflower salad...it is not to be missed. Definitely going back to eat the entrees we just couldn't fit in our bellies this go round.

Went tonight every single thing was absolutely delicious and the bartender was so attentive and kind. Even though we're all still in pain from mardi gras. We had such a great time. I didn't catch their name but everything was totally on point. Loved it. Thank you so much!
