    This is the best food we’ve had in NOLA, in the warmest, most elegant and most welcoming setting! Janine, Davi and Justin were excellent guides to the historic traditional menu. The smoked pompano with capers, sliced so thinly and smoked in-house, was a beautiful starter. My husband had the quail and seafood boudin, crunchy outside and tender within; and I loved the speckled trout meunière with perfect haricots verts and. Crabmeat; and those soufflé potatoes—oh my! Also loved the Mille-feuille for dessert…light as a feather!

    We visited from Florida for a second time to celebrate a milestone birthday 8 years to the day on the 20th of January. We were greeted with excitement and smiles from the wonderful staff. The dining room was warm and cozy given New Orleans was expecting unprecedented temperatures and snow! The staff were professional and friendly even though the Parrish was preparing for their family’s safety and own well being with upcoming major road closings they truly went out of their way to celebrate with me and my husband! We were given complimentary champagne. My last experience, I ordered Cherries Jubilee and was given a table side show beyond my expectations. This time I gleefully inquired about it again as it was not on the menu. The Maitre’D assured me he would do whatever he could to make my day special and he did not disappoint! He put a show and even poured the fire on the tablecloth in front of me! The dessert was amazing and will bring me back! The food, ambiance and overall service was outstanding and I will certainly return in another 8 years to this wonderful establishment! Hopefully it will not be in the middle of a snowstorm again!
