Great food! Awesome people! Came here twice during my 4 day New Orleans visit. The manager was super sweet and talked with us the whole time we were there, definitely needed that hearty food before the bar crawl. The second time I came in alone and had a great conversation with the bartender, Kenna. She was super cool and interesting to talk to. This place has got it all going on. This is on my list of places to come back to in New Orleans. The Jambalaya and Pasta NOLA are both great and pair well with a Hurricane or two. Enjoy!

So impressed! My husband and I went for brunch this weekend and really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service. Our server was so friendly and attentive. We went around 3pm so I think we just missed the rush. We started with the boudin balls and crab cakes, both very good. They weren’t skimpy with the seafood in the crab cakes. My husband got a salad which I think he enjoyed but mentioned that the shrimp were VERY salty. I tried the Brie with garlic and raw oysters, both great! The bottomless mimosas had a ton of OJ which ended up upsetting my stomach a bit so I could only have 2. We’ll definitely be back though.

Love the atmosphere here. It wasn’t super crowded even though it’s in the French quarter. Food was pretty good but I will go back from dinner instead of brunch. The bottomless mimosas are only 12$ which is cheap. The service was great! And the balcony seating was a great touch for a beautiful day.

Got to get a taste of everything I wanted to for a short trip to NOLA. Welcoming staff. Oysters weren't super special, but not bad.

Great food and cold drinks in the shade with a light breeze. Our server was fantastic and gave my wife a recommendation for something she would never have ordered otherwise, it was a hit.

You won't leave hungry! Awesome breakfast. Had The Governer's Breakfast with the jambalaya and andouille sausage. It was amazing. Nancy was a wonderfully fun and sweet server! Liked this place so much that we came back for a second time on our trip.
