What a great find in NO! The staff was super attentive and the atmosphere was fun and energetic. Both our meals had a fun aspect (mine had tacos on a little clothesline & hers was cauliflower served smoked under a cover) and the margaritas were awesome. The table next to us did the “shots” experience which was also fun to watch.

Brunch & Bloody Mary’s were excellent. Service by Mason was exceptional. Mason lined up an impromptu tour of the distillery with the distiller. She was very passionate about her craft & was very informative about the processes. The overall experience was wonderful. Thank you!
