They just hit it out of the park! The space is extremely warm and inviting. The cocktails are well crafted - and the wine list is extensive. And the food is just fantastic. We started with the meat and cheese plate and shrimp Remoulade salads - and then had the rabbit pasta and red fish and grits. Everything was excellent - and ending with the bread pudding was the cherry on top. And the service was superb- making it all a lovely evening. A must visit spot in Fort Worth.

All I've had here were good experiences. The food is delicious, the surroundings are classy and refined, and there is great service. I feel like each time the waitor/ waitress explained the menu clearly so I made the right choice for the night. I've had a few birthday celebration dinners here and I'll keep coming back.

The atmosphere of this place is great, it really is a nice space, and they've done a good job in creating what feels like an intimate setting. So, nice ambiance, wonderful service, good food. My only complaint (which is probably more of a curiosity), some of the entree proteins were HUGE, and others so tiny they required no more than two bites; I'd definitely recommend asking about that before you order. I ordered the pork tenderloin and it was two inches at most, it seemed like it should have been on a tapas menu, and not an entree. Maybe an off night for that item. Otherwise, Yes, worth a visit... you won't be disappointed:👍 Check it out. Everything was delicious, and the staff was great!

An excellent experience. Mante (sorry for the spelling) was our waiter who provided excellent and enthusiastic advice, especially given a menu that changes seasonally.

We started off with the Fir Coat and Riff Ram Bah Zoo for drinks, both of which were amazing.

We had the gumbo and the mussels fromage as appetizers. The mussels were the best I've ever had, with a cream and white wine sauce I could have eaten by itself. The blue cheese complimented the sauce well even for members of the party who generally don't like blue cheese. This was definitely one for two highlights of the meal for me. The gumbo was fine, but I was a little disappointed with it. The flavor was not terrible, but it was relatively bland, and I would have liked some spiciness. I also would have been happier with more andouille sausage and less turkey which just felt stringy. I would not order this again.

We followed this up with the risotto and redfish with added shrimp. The risotto was outstanding. It had a perfect blend of flavors including pesto and lemon with perfect texture. The manchego cheese topping on top of fennel made it looks almost like a Christmas tree with snow on it. I could have eaten this endlessly. The redfish was also very good with a perfect crust. The sauce was tangy and slightly sweet. I felt the redfish was overshadowed somewhat by the shrimp and collard greens which were the best parts of this entree. However the redfish mixed well with the greens and sauce.

We ended with the bread pudding with added restaurant-made praline ice cream. The bread pudding was incredible. The outer layer was slightly crispy with perfectly soft and doughy interior. The sauce it came with was excellent as well. Unfortunately the praline ice cream tasted more like vanilla ice cream and was extremely icy. The bread pudding would have been better off plain.

The whole experience was great despite a few things that could be improved. We would love to come back.

One of my favorites in DFW. Incredible Louisiana- perhaps more broadly Southern - cuisine. Highly recommend.

Food was fantastic. I ended up ordering a second salad it was so good. You can tell each item of each dish is individually seasoned/prepared then added to the plate. Constant change in flavor with each shovel load I inhaled. Great staff who can really dive into details on the menu.

TBD. But im hopeful. They have a really nice set up. The wine is in the humidor, so you know they have aged wine.

Really surprised by the amount of 5-star reviews. The food was very good, but that's about the only positive. We went during restaurant week to try it out and won't be going back. Service was very slow, atmosphere wasn't much unless you like to watch cars driving by on Magnolia Street, parking option was street (if you could find any) or valet. I requested a scoop of ice cream to go with my bread pudding dessert and received a small half-melted scoop for $8. Expensive enough dining on the Restaurant Week menu. Can only imagine what the cost would be if ordering off the regular menu.

For fine dining in downtown Fort Worth area highly recommend. They change the menu based on food availability of that season. So cool!
