Started with a complimentary glass of sparkling rose’ from the waitress Pam for our anniversary. She and the team were outstanding and very accommodating. Great experience!

We dined at August nine years ago, and the food was so memorable we returned. The bar was set so high the first time, we didn’t think it would be possible to exceed it. Ann Marie, Felicia and the ladies delivering the food from the kitchen were quite the team. My husband and I are still reveling in our experience. Every course on the Réveillon Menu was a journey in taste and got better as we headed for dessert. I ate my first pumpkin dish and raw oyster. Kudos to the chef. The food was outstanding. My husband really enjoyed the spoon bread. My favorite was the pan-seared pompano. We will continue to make dining at August a priority every time we return to New Orleans.

Great experience here. Visiting for a conference and came here for dinner. My wife and I ate at the bar. Great service and highly engaged staff. Piano player in bar was a nice touch. Had the filet snd lyonaise potatoes. So good! Added the Cajun butter to the steak. Very impressive.

Everything was Absolutely Phenomenal! We were there to celebrate my brother in law's bday. My mom and I arrived a little early so we sat at the bar and had a preliminary drink at the bar. Jonah, the bartender makes the best Dirty Martinis. The rest of our party arrived about 15 mins later and we were sat. Victor, our server, provided an amazing guided experience through the menu. He was so genuinely kind and patient with us. My sister has a shellfish allergy and my mom only wanted to eat cooked beef, Victor still took his time and made the dinner special for us all. His reccommendations were spot on. The service was lightenting fast. We did not have to wait for anything, and the dining room was pretty busy. Several team members stopped by the table to check on us throughout the meal including the manager, who chatted with us for a few moments.

As a neighborhood regular I decided to switch up from my usual dish and ordered the braised short rib with polenta the polenta was absolutely excellent and was extremely flavorful. The short rib was perfectly fork, tender, and the taste melted in my mouth. Admittedly, I am not a fan of spinach, but this spinach was perfectly done and I actually really enjoyed eating it. I’ll have to come back very soon and order this dish again. 10 out of 10. Recommend!
