    What a great dinning experience. From our waiter, José, to the crafted cocktail and authentic appetizer, entrees and desert there really was no room for improvement. The ample portions left us with a wonderful snack for later. I loved that Jose gave us the history of the proprietor, Mima, and how she came to create this wonderful restaurant. The mural of her really sets the tone and the music, china, fixtures and created the perfect setting for this culinary experience.

    We love New Orleans and love to eat when in New Orleans. You all did not disappoint! Great food and great staff! From the time we walked in the door- everyone was kind, friendly and helpful! We arrived early- while waiting to be seated Joe and the live music were perfect! Thank you Joe for the peanut butter and jelly drink- we were pleasantly surprised with the drink special and the entertainment that came with it. Excellent night out and experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
