    Food was amazing, they were busy but they were able to accommodate a table for 9 and worked with us day of to make it all work. The restaurant staff went above and beyond then gave us a private room for dining. The service was great maybe a little on the slower side but they didn’t rush us at any point.

    Everything was fantastic from the second we walked in the door. We sat in the piano bar and enjoyed it very much. Our server was outstanding with service and recommendations.

    This experience raised the bar too high as an introduction to our stay in the French Quarter. Demetrius was our server and I’ve never met a finer, more articulate nor entertaining professional. We laughed, exclaimed, toasted, and were even sad to leave. At the second toast, I already knew it would take a miracle to experience anything like that during our short stay. We had the bruschetta, duck st Philip, Parma prosciutto salad and wine. Everything was exquisite!
