Amazing food and atmosphere. From the gumbo to the brown butter bourbon bread pudding, we enjoyed every bite! The jazz trio authenticated the experience. Chef Eric brings the flavors and dishes from the Big Easy to NYC. Highly recommend!

Amazing food. Even better service. Unsure of the kind man that greeted us at the door, but he made our night all the better! And actually took the time to speak to my 5 year old daughter which I always appreciate! A great gem to have in the neighborhood. I’ll definitely be back!
