    Excellent service with incredibly knowledgeable asst somm, Britt, who suggested and offered pairings perfectly. We had tomato bread, olives, croquettas, mushrooms with truffle vinaigrette and egg yolk, salt cod bacalhau, shrimp San Miguel, paella(Spanish rice)…something else I can’t even recall and finished off with delish basque cheesecake and fortified wine…yum!!!!. Everything a hit and we felt really special on a post-snowy eve at the jamon bar learning more about one of the house specialties. Our server, Jada (?), was attentive and professional without being intrusive. A really fabulous addition to the nola dining scene and looking forward to returning. Delish Portuguese wines with notes about each adds a unique wine complement previously unavailable here. Highly recommended for a wonderful dining experience.

    Food was outstanding. Papaya salad and jerk pork belly are a must order together. Also the curry goat is incredible. We ordered the biscuits with it to mop up the sauce (server recommended this) and was a great shout. The biscuit with honey butter could be a whole meal on its own. Best one I’ve ever had.
