Today, the shop is no more, but the feeling of excitement and wonder still exists on Royal Street today. And so in the heart of the most premier art district in New Orleans, we’re bringing back the curiosity – reintroducing New Orleans to a circus of flavor so vibrant it makes other restaurants nearby pale in comparison.

I took my husband here prior to the Justin Timberlake concert. The wait staff was very friendly from the hostess to the food runner. The food that our waitress, Monica recommended was delicious. It was impressive to have someone that could explain the food and what was worth trying. We will definitely be back to try out the pasta and wine!
