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.

    Service was quick and wonderful, food was coursed well for a filling but not enormous meal. Pricing is a little high compared to similar restaurants but well worth it. Great wine list.

    Despite adequate staff, our service was poor. Server only came to greet and take order. Absolutely nothing after that. Out of six courses, three of them were either overcooked or dry (not that our server asked how anything was).The other three were absolutely fantastic! We were celebrating our anniversary and my birthday. It was a disappointment.

    Hello KayRen, Thank you for dining with us at Restaurant August and for taking the time to write this review of your experience. While I am thrilled to see that you enjoyed the ambience and three of your courses, I am disappointed to see that we failed to provide enjoyable service and that you did not enjoy all of your courses. I will follow up with you directly to gain further insight on how we let you down, in order to learn and better improve as a team as we strive to provide service at the highest standard here. Warm regards, Emmaline Duhon, General Manager
