Charming and beautiful (pet friendly ) terrace , friendly staff and the food was among the best we had in New Orleans. Delicious. We will definitely come back here.
Favorites: catfish sandwich , shrimp and grits , cochon de lait, only complaint was the French toast was a bit dense and dry, make a reservation and request the courtyard
Gumbo was excellent, couchon de lait very garlicky, yummy, and huge! The star of the meal was the Chocolate melting cake with chicory coffee ice cream - amazing!! We might have to come to get it again!
The courtyard cocktail , which changes regularly, was a superb start (a Moscow mule variation that still haunts me). The food was all superlative, particularly the creole poutin , shrimp grits , gumbo .
I love the Shrimps&Grits and Cocktails : ask for the Mambo Mule or any other with ginger ; excellent service. Stay in the terrace and enjoy the view .
Awesome outdoor ambiance, indoor was nice too, the shrimp and grits were delicious, the Louisiana linguine was yummy but very heavy
Gorgeous courtyard with some good food. The crawfish linguine , shrimp and grits , and gumbo are tasty! The 9 layer cake is good too but a little too sweet.
A great place to bring a date. The Chicken gumbo was absolutely incredible. I enjoyed the rye cocktail as well , but it was a little too sweet. You really can't go wrong with the menu.
The Smoked Salmon Smorrebro on Challah bread with a side arugula salad w/ fresh dill and cherry tomatoes was just perfect. Sit outside if you can, the courtyard is adorable!
Nice courtyard to sit outside. Order the shrimp and grits ! Would skip the baked oysters with spinach next time.
Simply the best I've eaten in Nola. 3 people vs 6 starters is the way to go!
It's worth the wait for brunch . Really wonderful food and the most attentive service ! A really quaint place, too, feels like the old South.
Shrimp and grits , gumbo , and the orange blossom . Lovely atmosphere. Still thinking of that gumbo ...
South side Fizz and Ruby Slipper cocktails refreshing and not too sweet. Shrimp and grits small plate just right for lunch and very tasty with a bit of spice to it
The seating ladies weren't very professional but our server was delightful! The brunch menu and cocktails were great!! The outdoor seating is quite lovely but can get hot in the summer.
Cochon de lait sandwich , shrimp and grits , and poutine were all phenomenal. Outdoor seating is very cool. Highly recommend.
Fig & Got cheese bread was AMAZING. Best Cajun chicken & waffles ever. Beet salad was very refreshing.
The specials were delicious! We were a group of 10. 1 bride to be and her bride squad. The service was great. Thanks for the free shot!
If the lamb meatloaf is available, get it! Very good breakfast cocktails as well .
The duck is divine, and the atmosphere is very intimate . Make sure to eat in the courtyard when the weather is nice!
Great cafe food. Roast lamb Croque was awesome and so did the curried pumpkin soup .
Best restaurant in NOLA. Lamb amazing. Ambiance stellar. Duck was special. Loved it all. Must go.
Amazing cocktails ....and the shrimp n grits are the best I've ever had. Also sit in the courtyard .
The Amelie pasta was perfect! The jumbo shrimp was delicious and the sauce was simple and delicate. Loved it.
Get the crab cake ! It's fantastic! The farmers market pasta was superb. Also, be sure to make a reservation ... This place fills up fast.
Try the Brussel Sprouts A La Planca - So good we ordered a second plate.
Waitstaff at the bar is awesome and incredibly helpful. Sit in the courtyard , it's beautiful.
The duck carbonara are the best I've ever had! You won't go wrong with it!!!
Absolutely yummy! I can also say that the corn linguini (forgive me for not remembering the exact name) was amazing.... And so was the berry crisp with vanilla bean ice cream !!
Tip: Make reservations bc they have quite a bit of wait. It's the prettiest little place ever. Didn't have enough time to wait 45 minutes but next time will plan for this.
My first breakfast in this awesome city ! Loved the pain perdu (lost bread )!
Bring your date (or lady outing) here - the courtyard and Carriage House are both incredibly charming. Fantastic cocktails .
I got the shrimp and grits and it was it was really good but heavy.
Amazing ! I'll definitely come back. I had the salmon . Very tasty. You should try it !
Cochon de lait is delicious! The bread is quite light and airy which was a nice surprise.
Delicious garden restaurant ! Pet friendly !
Burrata ; shrimp and grits ; cheesecake were out of this world amazing
Try to get outside seating . The pork cochon and meatloaf sandwiches are really good.
Great atmosphere and very beautiful patio . The food, however, is quite underwhelming
Protip: order the meatloaf , cochon du lait, and two shrimp and grits . Share them between the two of you.
Cochon de Lait sandwich with rose is perfection.
Sit in the courtyard if you can. The lamb meatloaf and the pecan pie are to die for.
you must sit in the courtyard ! absolutely gorgeous. ordered the chicken and andouille gumbo for brunch , very unique taste and loved it!
Love this place! Classic courtyard dining... and the food's good, too.
Beautiful patio area . Great place for a group brunch !
Pretty much everything is great here. Super lovely atmosphere.
Amazing- great atmosphere and umbrellas for shade at outside brunch
the food is superb, the atmosphere is delightful, and the key line pie is a must! A+!
Amazing food. Friendly staff . Sit outside in the courtyard in the shade. Great place!!!! A must for brunch .
Overrated I thought when there's so much good cheap food around. I was hoping for and craving super clean , produce driven cooking. I got greasy crab cakes and pasta with an overly sweet Riesling
great cajun/creole. crab beignets come w/ 4 different aoli types! try the death by gumbo (stuffed quail) and banana cream pie - Gloria Chin
The alligator app. is delicious! Pork chops cooked medium rare are to die for. - Emily Kuether
Shrimp and Alligator Sausage Cheesecake is a must. So is the New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp with Rice. - Alma Alling
Everything is deep fried delicious! Always add more powdered sugar! - Chinemenma Yoruk
I love this place when the sun is down and the piano is playing. The purple stuff will catch up with you quick. It's a great getaway from Bourbon Street while still being on Bourbon Street. - Latham Brunson
Great atmosphere and drinks. Food was great, blackened drum(fish), red beans and rice. Would recommend to everyone to give it a try. - Robert Cottrell
