August is a Contemporary Creole restaurant creating unique dishes with a focus on Louisiana ingredients and inspired by classical training. Located in a historic 19th century French-Creole building in New Orleans’ Central Business District, the main dining room caters to the most unique dining experience. The interior is rich with original architectural details, gleaming hardwood floors, soaring columns, mahogany paneling and antique mirrors.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Corey Thomas

From the OpenTable editors: August remains the flagship restaurant within the BRG Hospitality group, and it’s a grande dame dining room of New Orleans. The building rose tall in the 1830s, and the elegant space features mahogany panels and antique mirrors. The modern Creole menu offers a chef’s tasting in seven courses, from red snapper crudo to lavender panna cotta. The team also has a reputation for impeccable service, earning a couple of James Beard nominations in the past decade.

    Outstanding service and delicious food. I would definitely recommend the duck breast and the strip steak. Smaller portions, however taste was on point. I can’t express how excellent the service was for our dinner. Mary Anne and everyone we encountered were amazing!!

    One of our favorite places in the city, the service is great, the cornbread is my favorite (pro tip: ask for two or get one of each bread offered bc the Parker house roll is also delish). The cocktails are tasty, the hot honey is my current favorite. Highly recommend the foie gras and the mezzaluna appetizers, as well as the snapper and duck entrees which our group had and loved, said it was their favorite dish of the trip. The mushroom entree is incredible - and vegetarian! Also loved the pavlova dessert.

    Great experience. We loved our servers Lee and Annabelle, both very attentive. We had the gnocchi appetizer, New York strip, red snapper and my daughter had rigatoni pasta with shrimp and cream sauce. Everything was delicious!
