    This is one of my all-time favorite restaurants and every time I come into New Orleans, I come here to enjoy a lovely meal. It was another great experience and Randall was fantastic. Taking care of me on Saturday night.

    Attentive but unobtrusive service, beautiful presentation, exquisite flavors, wonderful views, and a very serious wine list coupled with reasonable house wines by the glass.

    I believe they changed their pricing since I visited over a year ago. Food quality excellent, service was great in the beginning with the server knowing the menu, but at the end of the meal she was nowhere to be found- had to find another server to get our bill and wait for them to come get it. The wine glass prices in my opinion were very overpriced at $30.00 per glass with limited selection. If you want the view and ambience then go, but if you want a fine dining experience with the same quality & service and better value, best to visit the many other fine dining restaurants NOLA has to offer.

    Food and service were impecable. Enjoyed an early lunch with my family and everyone was blown away by everything. Roasted brie, filet, ribeye and asparagus were all incredible. Cheesecake and bread pudding were spectacular. Nice view over the river.
