One of the few places in the French Quarter that takes reservations for 7 and is not $$$$. We loved the atmosphere - very relaxed, not crowded and loud, great food, and great service. Not too far from a lot of shops and the French Market either! Everyone in our party left full and happy! I would for sure dine here again.
