I came here for a friend’s late bday dinner and we shared a bunch of items! The oysters were amazing as well as cocktails and wines. We enjoyed everything and the owner, John, was great! He took such good care of us, kept the pours coming (LOL;) and engaged us in conversations which we enjoyed! Would definitely come back, especially for the oyster happy hour!

Fully recommend, very flavorful gumbo and simple yet tasty cocktails that successfully evoke New Orleans and creole cooking. Small place but if there’s a seat at the bar open would firmly recommend snagging it, you won’t be disappointed.

We tried almost every specialty item on the menu and every damn thing was delicious. But the crawfish etouffee was truly something special. Drinks were stiff, vibe was cozy and intimate. The complimentary panna cotta was the cherry on top of the warm and attentive service. My heart wants for nothing, about as close to a perfect dinner as it gets. I will definitely be back!

me and my partner celebrated our anniversary here a month ago and decided to return tonight, and unfortunately i will not me returning. Our server abby make the dining experience unpleasant to the point we decided to get our food to-go. I called and put our name on the list and when we arrived at the restaurant we were told it’s and hour wait before opening our mouth with multiple empty tables. we also weren’t asked if we made a reservation . told her my name was on the list, and after i told her she was trying to makes us wait even though the 1 party in-front of us was not there. and again there was empty tables
she was laughing smiling and giving real hospitality to everyone else in the restaurant except for us. (the only black people inside at the time)
i also overheard her apologizing to people about “us” coming in before them
I ordered over the phone and asked for the creole gumbo, went to the store to pick it up and when I got home, I realize that they had given me a chicken gumbo instead. Chicken gumbo isn’t even on the menu on their website so I didn’t know that it was possible for it to be conflated with the creole gumbo. even though a seafood gumbo was what I was craving, I tried to enjoy the chicken gumbo, but it was rather bland and flavorless. Extremely disappointed.

Such a cool little spot. Went with my friend who went to college in New Orleans and she loved it too!

Had a bad dining experience a few days ago. The food tasted inauthentic, poorly seasoned and portions for the gumbo & po'boy were tiny for what they're priced at! Their spritz drink is also expensive and pretty boring. The server and cooks were fine but the owner (tall white guy I assume) was very impatient and leering over/hovering above me and my friends to finish and leave, when there was barely anyone there on a weeknight. Friends who know real southern food or what the food portion should be even in new York, do not come here. The rating is truly over-inflated and food is blandly mediocre at best.

The restaurant handles every aspect of dining with care. Employees displayed exceptional approachability and ready assistance. The staff makes you feel at home and the meals are tasty. Next time I'm nearby, Lowerline will be my destination. The food quality is high and prices stay low; can't beat that.
