I took a group of ten with ages varying from 6 to 77 and everyone enjoyed themselves!

We have also visited the one in DC and enjoyed it but honestly it. Any hold a candle to the happening atmosphere of the New Orleans location! You just can’t help but smile and have a good time when you walk through the doors on magazine st!

The caring and attentive staff are amazing and made sure my young granddaughter felt like a princess when her sundae was served!!!

Do not recommend! Had an awful brunch experience here. Hostess gave us the wrong menu. They offer bottomless drinks but only if your server remembers to come back and ask if you need anything, which he never did. I had to ask for 2 of my 3 mimosas. And there were only 2 other diners in the restaurant. The music was so loud that the servers standing around the expo station were actually yelling at each other in conversation.
And now the food… The yogurt parfait was good but not a hard thing to mess up. My steak came out cold and, much like the other reviews, the meat was gray on the outside. It was well seasoned but the sauce they pour over it was AWFUL. It tasted broken…like a bit mealy/grainy when a sauce breaks. And there was way too much of it. It was inedible and covered most of my steak, making it inedible too. The fries were fine. My husband got the French toast and it was 4 giant pieces stacked on a plate. By appearance it looked good and the first few bites I tried were tasty. That took a turn when he got down to the bottom of the pile and it was all an eggy mush, also inedible. Overall, this was one of the worst brunches I’ve had in recent years and I have zero interest in returning to try dinner. So not worth what we paid.

The best thing was the fries if you ate one that the sauce wasn't on. Music way too loud, and I like loud music but couldn't hear the wait staff or others at the table. Wait staff tried hard. Steak was ok at best. Had some strange seasoning like flavor I couldn't put mu finger on, or it may have been that sauce... not a fan.. Ive been wanting to try this for a long while.. very disappointed. I was expecting the typical French style steak & frites. This is not that. Even so, I'm game for something new but this was not it. Won't go back.

Worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. Walked in all of the staff were clearly intoxicated. Wasn’t given water a single time had to ask for silverware. Ordered espresso martinis they came out in bourbon glasses and were just vodka and coffee. The steak was paper thin and completely raw with a grey outside didn’t eat any of told the staff it had to be remade or taken off the bill the bartender yelled at me told me she knew I wasn’t going to tip. I told the women I work in a restaurant in Charleston and I would be happy to tip if the service was anything. The staff needs a total switch.

I absolutely adore this restaurant and its prix fixe menu; the price point is fantastic. The bread is crusty on the outside and fluffy on the inside, served warm with salted butter. Our server, Sara, was incredibly attentive—she even brought me extra sauce for dipping the bread, which was a game changer. The creamy pepper sauce was rich, savory, and perfectly salty.

The salad featured a delightful tangy vinaigrette, and the steak was cooked exactly to my liking, accompanied by crispy thin fries and a generous amount of sauce. They even offered a second portion, which we took home for lunch the next day, complete with instructions for reheating each item.

Parking can be tricky; we got lucky and found street parking around the block. Felicia, our host, was amazing and really took care of us, embodying Southern hospitality. Sara kept us laughing with her jokes, adding to the great vibes. Definitely check out their signature cocktails—we’ll be back for brunch!

i hate being negative because i truly love this place and the food. i’ve never had a problem here ever, but last night we ordered two cocktails and didn’t get one of them until after we were done with our bread, salad AND first serving of steak and fries. it also wasn’t as busy as usual, & we watched for 20 minutes as the bartender stood there laughing with other coworkers instead of bartending so it was a bit irritating and disappointing, & then we watched as our drinks sat there on the bar waiting to be served and we had to remind the server twice and all. 12/10 food tho

The dinner portion comes with a second plate, so when you're done with the meal you ordered you immediately get offered seconds. If you're truly hungry, skip the buffet and head here.

They only make one meal, so was expecting that 1 thing to be amazing. Oh how wrong I was. Steak was cool when came out as they slice it before serving and was most certainly micro tenderized so be careful ordering anything below well. The fries tasted like they came from frozen and the sauce from a powder. Drinks were good but it was hard to enjoy them as every glass and plate was left in front of us. Servers were literally pushing empty plates aside with the plates in there hands to fit it on the table. I was there for a birthday so desserts were ordered, could get better from a grocery store.

Our 2nd time here, a 2 item menu, steak, or mushroom, including salad, bread, and french fry. Very nice, clean, friendly place. We ordered the steak, option, and our meal was great. Then we had a wonderful dessert. We'll go back for special steak nights

Food was average, not the best we've ever experienced from this location, but certainly not awful. Service was lacking, although Management did try to make up for the obvious lack of experience from our server. What made the evening not enjoyable was the repeated screaming from the children at one table. This was not regular screaming either. This was the screaming and shenanigans of children who clearly are never disciplined in their own home. First off, why are we taking young children here to celebrate a birthday in the first place? But, secondly, when other diners actually choose to exit the restaurant to dine outdoors in the August heat of Louisiana, there is clearly a consensus that these children were unruly. It was not mindful and it was not demure!
