August is a Contemporary Creole restaurant creating unique dishes with a focus on Louisiana ingredients and inspired by classical training. Located in a historic 19th century French-Creole building in New Orleans’ Central Business District, the main dining room caters to the most unique dining experience. The interior is rich with original architectural details, gleaming hardwood floors, soaring columns, mahogany paneling and antique mirrors.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Corey Thomas

From the OpenTable editors: August remains the flagship restaurant within the BRG Hospitality group, and it’s a grande dame dining room of New Orleans. The building rose tall in the 1830s, and the elegant space features mahogany panels and antique mirrors. The modern Creole menu offers a chef’s tasting in seven courses, from red snapper crudo to lavender panna cotta. The team also has a reputation for impeccable service, earning a couple of James Beard nominations in the past decade.

    Overall the experience was enjoyable. The service from the head waiter and assistant waiter was top tier. The young lady running food was seemingly having a grumpy evening. The food was delicious. The shrimp cold appetizer and red snapper entree were well prepared and the presentation was perfect. The black and blue gnocchi was good but over shadowed by the cold shrimp appetizer. The triple tail was heavily seasoned borderline salty and was an odd pairing of textures and flavors with the oysters but all the individual parts were well prepared and the seasoning could be diluted using the warm coconut soup. Dessert was ok. Life is about experiences, this was one we’re glad we could enjoy. Not perfect in its entirety but a solid 4.7/5

    It was as always an exceptional experience with the food and service both competing compellingly to be the best part of the meal. We were there for Christmas Eve dinner and it was Much more than we could expect. Kudos and gratitude to the staff — front and back of house — that worked on a holiday to make ours special.
