Timing

The food was not hot. My steak was mostly gristle. They asked me if I wanted to take it home. No one asked how our dinner was, so I'm guessing they knew it wasn't good. The restaurant was mostly empty. After all the great meals in new Orleans this was a giant disappointment.

The one-choice prix fixe menu is a nice change. I'm afraid many people looking for a "steak house" experience may not appreciate this French bistro style dinner -- especially thinly cut strips of steak with good taste but may require a bit of trimming on your plate. So it's not the thick tender filet you may get at Mr John's or Ruths but it is tasty and a less expensive, more casual night out at a clean, fun location.

A group of friends and I came in on Valentine's Day and we had great service by Tyler B he was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations for drinks. He made sure to check in on us frequently and was very professional The food was a great price for what you get and very tasty. Overall a wonderful and memorable dining experience. I just wish there was a little more Ambience and or decor

Love everything about this place. The food, the people, location, drinks, simplicity. This was the first time I've been to the New Orleans location. Great spot in a cool neighborhood. Medium Rare delivers. Every. Single. Time.

So many rules for their UNLIMITED brunch cocktails!!! You can only have so many before you order food! You can't have any cocktails after the waitress brings the check! It was a good deal for $30 something dollars but you should make the rules known! The restaurant was not crowded at all for Sunday brunch but we felt a little pushed. The place is very nice and the food was tasty but the rules were frustrating. I do not think I would do it again because there are so many choices for brunch in New Orleans without so many restrictions.

We love Medium Rare! we've been going to the DC locations for years, and the NOLA location is just as good! $28 for a steak dinner that includes bread, salad, and seconds is amazing. And the bottomless brunch on the weekends for $31 can't be beat. it's a great place to celebrate a birthday, especially when you order the ice cream sundae for dessert.

Everything was great. The food was well cooked, the service was friendly but not overbearing and the drinks were delicious. I like paying reasonable prices for reasonable size portions with no take home, as most of my take homes are forgotten.

The food was a great value for the money. However, this is New Orleans! They need to really work on the VIBE! Turn down the lights, get rid of the top 40 play list! Make the place look like it's been around awhile. Our service was excellent...chocolate cake a must. Fair wine prices, and like I said, great value for the price tag. But PLEASE step up your ambiance vibe!

The manager and our waiter were so gracious. I had a birthday dinner where everyone canceled, and then people showed up with other people, without letting me know. They were able to accommodate us without a problem, and I appreciate that because what happened was very confusing. We were very surprised with our portion size for the price. The food was delicious. We will be back, more often than you think.

I feel guilty giving a 2 star review, because our server Melissa was awesome. But the entire experience felt really rushed based on the concept of bread/salad/meat. The food was ok - not memorable. I wouldn't recommend or go back. Too many other good options out there.
