Interesting spot, great prices at happy hour, but cocktails are a bit watery and food portions were a tad small. Came here about 7 years ago (loved it) but it shows some age. Could use a small update or refresh.

Absolutely wonderful experience! One of the best Happy Hours we have experienced during our travels, we ordered pretty much one of everything on the menu and it was all phenomenal! Cocktails were all delicious (blackout bramble and roffignac were especially great) and the service was amazing! The croquettes and dirty martini Caesar were especially good, would definitely go back!
Service was great and our waitress was phenomenal, but we were very underwhelmed with the food. The happy hour small plates were terrible, and the Brussel sprout appetizer was mediocre. The best item we had was the burger, which was just ok.

We arrived 15 minutes before the end of happy hour and they made sure we could order off that menu before it ended if we wanted. We got a few French 76s (not sure what the difference is between their 76 and a traditional 75- our server didn't know either.) I got a blackberry drink that, as you can see in the photo, had a course ice snow cone on top. The drinks were well balanced and pretty tasty. We opted for appetizers and dessert as we had already had dinner. We'd chosen this place for the live jazz music that begins at 8pm, which added lovely ambience. There was a small and beautiful patio that allows cigars for those that want (or want to avoid) that. If we'd eaten a full meal, we would have spent $60+ per person. For drinks, an appetizer and a dessert for each of us, we spent $40 per person. The desserts were all good, but we all agreed my Red Velvet trifle was truly next level delicious. That's the dessert in the goblet in the photo. Definitely recommend.Parking: It's the French Quarter. Parking is an endeavor. Most is paid street parking. If you are willing to park just outside the French quarter, you can often find free street parking. You should be prepared to take 15 minutes to deal with traffic and find parking once you arrive where you are going and to walk up to a half mile from your car to your destination.Kid-friendliness: I don't know what it would have been like if it was full, but we had a corner of the restaurant to ourselves so our 6 month old was no bother to anyone even when he got fussy for a bit.
This place is absolutely Fantastic, the staff & food were terrific. David the GM took the time to come and give us recommendations on The best places to eat, drink and sightsee after eating an incredible meal with great hospitality at his restaurant. He has so much passion for the industry and really puts a lot of pride in his work, and is really proud to be a part of the New Orleans food industry it was amazing. The servers and staff were great as well, and the drinks kept coming. It was a birthday. I’ll never forget!

Used to love this place. Sadly, this is not that place.
The restaurant doesn't look anything like the pictures. It is basically a pub with bad food. The curried cauliflower was essentially boiled and jaundiced but without any curry flavor whatsoever. The drinks were also awful. My Prosecco was terribly sweet and my husband's gin and tonic had very little gin and was basically overpowered by cleaning solution-infused soda fountain tonic. We are baffled that this place had any positive reviews. However, staff were very kind under the circumstances. I feel bad that they have to be on the front line. They even offered to refund the curry cauliflower but we politely declined and took our leave before ordering anything else.

We had reservations at 530 but asked to sit at the bar and watch cocktails being made. She had a house chardonnay which good and ordered a Whistlepig Rye Manhatttan on the rocks. The young bartender asked me what that was and did I see the bottle. This was not the bar we had sat at several years ago and had a class on mixed drink and bourbons. Nevertheless he made it correctly and I had another on the rocks. We moved to a booth and the chef recommended the Pork belly and grits. We ordered this with the Ceasar salad with a gin based dressing. Both were fresh and tasty. The place is comforting and you can relax. Live music of local talent starts at 8. We will come again as this is a true neighborhood lounge in the Quarter. I hope the staff gains valued experience.
Drinks were good, food was great besides our steak which was the wrong temp and had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. They do not have steak sauce which I thought was extremely odd. They also don't have tea. Wait staff including our server were very nice and helpful. I found the photos online were a little misleading as it looks very dingy on the inside.

Service and drink quality was very.. meh. I went alone on Valentine's Day and said I *might* have another join, so the whole time the staff kept hinting at the other person, as if a party of one wasn't good enough to be sat at a table that was booked ahead of time. Drinks were mostly ice for ~$18. Nice ambiance and clean, though.
I know it was Friday of Mardi Gras but it took 45 minutes to get drinks and that was after I asked the bartender if she had received our drink order. Our food arrived after a hour. When the server brought the food she told us that they were out of one of the items ordered. So that person had to wait another 30 minutes for her food. As we were leaving our table heard our server complaining about how demanding our table was. I have loved going to the Bombay Club in the past but will only go for drinks at bar if I go back.
